Has anyone else seen missing link grimlock??? Oml missing link you are the love of my life

Frothing at the mouth for Missing Link Ultra Magnus!!!! Holy moly he looks good. Just praying for a Powered Convoy too

Currently thinking about transformers (shocking)

Missing Link Countachs have arrived! What wonderful toys. I have a G1 Sunstreaker to compare them to as well, which makes them that much more fun. Weightier than I expected and fun to throw between modes.

Sitting by the front door for the next month waiting for my damn missing links and mpg godbomber to arrive

Browning’s alt mode was a smelting laser. A rather ignominious mode, smelting lasers were used by remote areas that couldn’t afford a proper smelter but didn’t really need one anyway. They could hire a bot like Browning to transform and melt down whatever they needed in short order. This work wore down our poor Browning, however, building to less and less quiet resentment. Eventually he was triggered (no pun intended) as his narcissism developed into a sort of messiah complex. Highly dissatisfied with the current state of affairs under the Council, he starts his Revolution. Through a series of upgrades he becomes unrecognizable, his alt mode evolving from a minor laser into a terribly powerful fusion cannon. Even the Council’s weapons are barely a match for it. Gathering followers, Browning rechristens himself based on his new destiny to unite all of Cybertron under his rule, “saving” them: Galvatron. Galvatron bears much resemblance to his G1 iteration, but larger. He stands a head or two over most transformers. His more notable followers include Soundblaster (loyal and incredibly useful for spycraft), Cyclonus (the perfect second in command), Scorponok (who designed Galvatron’s current body and engineers most of their new weapons and tools, including experimental forms of combination), and Magmatron, who falls for Galvatron’s rhetoric under the promise of increasing his wealth beyond measure after the Revolution succeeds. He agrees to bankroll the Decepticons as they start expanding planet-wide.

The Council of Elders ruled over Cybertron during the Gilded Age before the war. It featured such notable names as Star Saber, Dai Atlas, God Magnus, Powered Convoy, Magmatron, Tripredacus, Overload (who becomes the subject of an experiment which transforms him into Overlord), and of course Fortress Maximus. God Magnus is the oldest of the council, with no one really knowing exactly HOW old he is (he is eventually revealed to be from the age of primes, and did in fact combine with Optimus Prime in to form God Fire Convoy for conflicts long forgotten by nearly everyone else). You’ll note many of these bots contain combiner technology, something most transformers cannot afford. The Elders are stereotypically wealthy, with each using their money in different ways, both good and bad. Cerebros/Fort Max is slow to act and was often sidelined during Council discussions where the more extemporaneous members sparred. Magmatron (having vehicular alt modes a la the BW IDW comic) is possibly the richest Elder, with a well-known rather authoritarian bent. He would always vote to bring down the hammer, swift and efficiently. This does not go unnoticed by the instigator of the Decepticon rebellion…Browning.
