Stealth birb!

On my mark; start speculation....NOW!!

[Ottman34]

I'm hoping for roboforce!

Also a big possibility is vinyl of some sort b/c this is the same colorway as the recent Kabuto Mushi

[TJOmega]

The Roboforce molds are common enough in drops as Force Defenders I don't think that would even warrant a crossover tease at this point, makes me think it will be something out of the ordinary like a Callgrim or Weaponeer. With Argen gone in storyline I'm curious what the surprises are going to be, might be a good time to break out some old high part count builds that haven't been around in a while, Phase Defenders, Echo Morphs, that kinda thing.

[NoPaintRequired]

I'm betting that this isn't the giant drop with the metallic orange color. Mainly because I wish it isn't. I won't have the amount of cash I want if it is.

I agree with your point on the RF kit being a regular enough thing that it's probably something more. It'd be nice if it is something like a Callgrim with one of the armor sets. Has there been a Callgrim released with the Skeleden armor yet?

No Callgrim figure has had the Skeleden armor included with it, but it is compatible.

[Faceless Master]

Ok, speculation... speculation...

Finally going to get that Kranix figure we all have wanted!!!!

[mechanicoid]

As much as I love Gendrones, I'm hoping we get a break from them in this drop. I'm loaded up on them after last year, and my wallet could use a break from army building

I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see a crossover with Zeroids even though I know the first of those is on the horizon.

[Undrave]

I love that color! Also we know the Type Zero Crayboth was a preview so we can expect stuff in that colorway right?

Ooh and the Canadian dollar is still falling ;_;

[TRIAD]

Stryker Lock is returning!!!!!!
(I have no evidence of this, just hope)

[Lazzy Lizard]

Stryker Locke in that ghost colorway w/ a black or dark grey rub would be Amazing!!!

=)

[Undrave]

Maybe we'll see Enyrium in that metallic orange color, maybe 'Gendrone Renewal' or something as he takes over after Argen's defeat?

Neo Sarvos in orange would be cool too...

And after the mention of an assault on Glyaxia by the Armorvor and Neo Granthan last monthes I hope we get new ones! There was mention of them having 'Black Core' technology, was that ever mentionned before?? Maybe new paint masking on the Armorvor?

Maybe a new version of the wolf head will appear?

[TJOmega]

I assumed Black Core referred to the core piece on an Armorvor's chest that's almost always black. After the Glyarmor launch I doubt any new tooling was done for anything else, but it would be nice to get some new Vors in some of the colors we've been seeing. Type Zero might be a bit too similar to the last one we got, but I am kind of wondering what happened to the Sunstorm colors that was supposed to be a preview, as well.

I guess that makes sense...

I don't think we got Armorvores in Gendrone Rebellion, Flesh, Smoke, Enforcer, Hades, Villser, nothing at all in Sunstorm, no Neo Granthan in clear or spectre, nothing in Indigo right? No Armorvor in Orkmogg green, Exiles blue, no other Manglor colors aside from Manglord Mimic and I guess Type Zero. Or this new milky plastic. Or Electro Revenant! Or Dark Glyphorian. I'd be up for any of those.

[Toyetic]

I'm betting that this isn't the giant drop with the metallic orange color. Mainly because I wish it isn't. I won't have the amount of cash I want if it is.

Isn't there usually a month or so gap between Stowaway Metallic Crayboth arrival and that being the new color? I would think Orange would be Feb 2016.

My understanding was also that the black chest piece reflected the Black Core tech. I can't remember where this was mentioned, but maybe I can find it.

Black Core actually originated in the old Gear's Edge comic. The Sincroids on Issaris were brought there to mine Black Core. It's some sort of naturally-occurring substance that can be used as a power source. I don't think much more was specified, although I haven't read the comic in a while.

Matt tends to do things on a whim.

There's been another pic posted, possibly confirming the Instar X plastic for the new Varteryx / Neo Sarvos figure. Admittedly, part of me enjoys the lead-up to a drop whenever we get a lot of nature shots. There's something about seeing these little guys exploring "alien" worlds and interacting with our own at such a smaller scale that it's actually nostalgic, in addition to a fun play on the usual storytelling.

I mean, how many of us, when we were kids, took toys out into the world for new adventures?

There are a few people on the board who probably still have that comic that could confirm this, though given how interconnected the story elements have proven to be, it wouldn't surprise me.

Maybe we'll see Enyrium in that metallic orange color, maybe 'Gendrone Renewal' or something as he takes over after Argen's defeat?

Whether Enyriun takes over command of all Gendrones, or if the Phaseon is still at odds with Argen's forces, having the next Enyriun be orange would make for a nice counterpart to the Villser Core jade green. I'm just at a loss as to what the highlight color would be. Black again? Blue? Yellow? What do you all think?

[Undrave]

Armorvor armors are SERIOUS buisiness

So would that mean the Glyarmor is just as strong?!

[Artic_]

I like to see either the solar orange with red or that indigo color with white.

[Undrave]

That Instar Neo Sarvos is GREAT... might have to get two...

I hope we'll also get some spare armor in that color, that would look really good on some of my other figures.

Uhh.... You mean I was supposed to STOP?

[Mutt12]

I just hope some of the good stuff stays in the store till Friday when I get paid. ;_;
