    Was Snake Man-at-Arms the original 2011 sub exclusive?

    Just a thought - they said that (of course) Shadow Weaver wasn't the original sub exclusive.

    They also said that the original sub exclusive was still an option, and they might get to it later in the year.

    And finally, SMAA is a variant with seemingly little new tooling, and no huge visual change beyond the head. Similar "non-essential" thought process to the original rationale for sub exclusives?

    From what folks are saying on twitter, it sounds like Toy Guru said Horde Prime was intended as the exclusive before Shadow Weaver...

    But how would that have been possible?


    The design of the helmet is strikingly similar to his Filmation counterpart, and his alternate head came from the UK Comics: two sources they supposedly had zero access to until recently.

    They would have called him Horde Supreme and not included the alternate head. As for the similarities between the helmet and FILMation, well...Shadow Beast, Palace Guards, etc...

    Really? Hmmm. Well...I can say I'm happy Horde Prime wasn't the exclusive as I need at least two of him so I can make the UK comics version (purple). Not sure if I should try to make the other two versions of him...that seems a bit much.

    Shadow Beasts and Palace guards belonged to mattel, cause if they didn't they wouldn't have been in 200X.
