I think Hasbro may have jumped on Amazon Australia to fix the problem, as the items I posted up links to last night aren't showing up on the main Transformers page anymore... but the individual product pages are still there.
It was stealing a fair bit of the thunder of Hasbro America, by revealing some info before the official reveal tomorrow.
The only two items that are showing up today on the main Transformers page sound like Rescue Bots toys...
F0849 TRA RBA Jumbo Jet Wing Racer - $70
(that is probably that weird Optimus that turns into a jumbo jet with giant wings that can hold Rescue Bots cars)
F2731 Hasbro Transformers Bumblebee Roll and Convert Optimus Prime Action Figure - $87
If hasbro are really going to be revealing all or most of those earlier items tomorrow, it is going to be a big few days as we digest all of the new stuff.

(no images or other details, just like the early Amazon listings)
What in particular makes you think so?Quote:

Ah damn. I need a Goldbug for my Thottlebots, and I don't collect SG.Quote:

You know what though - that likely means the Sideswipe listing is a SG Sideswipe - and that's why he comes with a Battlemaster because the SG one came with a Minicon (and he was also sold at BotCon with SG Blurr who's on the Hasbro Pulse site).
Someone was asking about a green version of the siege Sideswipe mould - this might be it!
Edit: Oh wait - the suggestion is Nightprowler is Cheetor - i was thinking a Lionizer repaint. Still Sideswipe could be SG....
Oh i see thats coolQuote:

Ah yes huffer n puffer the smoking duo
Ranger Puffer = Road Ranger (black Huffer repaint) and Puffer (blue Huffer repaint) combo perhaps?

Hmmm. I never realised that G1 Huffer was so different to Pipes. I've only ever owned Pipes and I guess I've never taken a good look at Huffer pictures.Quote:

Looks like amazon has released links for upcoming transformers

SS86 Slag images have been leaked online. He looks pretty much as you would expect.
https://www.seibertron.com/transform...-leaked/45836/
I expected a little shorter in robot mode, but that's cartoon appropriate
Wow. How cool
I'm glad Slag is Grimlock's height as it's cartoon accurate and they are indeed supposed to tower over (WFC) Optimus Prime. The height of Grimlock's subordinates is a thing that disappoints me with the POTPs. SS86 Slag looks great too.
I just hope they come through and make all 5 Dinobots (any rumours of Sludge or Snarl?). Looks like you guys with your Takara Volcanicus are safe for now :).
Another listing on the Amazon Australia pre-order page for domestically-held Transformers (toys sold and shipped by Amazon AU) is for another one of these Gen1 plus BW 2-packs... this time for "F1209 Mirage and Grimlock".Quote:

The odd thing is that it is priced the same as the Sideswipe/Nightprowler, which looks to be two Deluxe toys... so maybe the price for Mirage/Grimlock is wrong.
Quote:
- Battle across time: with the Battle Across Time Collection, fans can recreate the duel between G1 and Beast Wars and form teams from Maximals and Autobots. Grimlock and Mirage join together to repel the Decepticons/Predacons
- Inspired by G1 and Beast Wars: the G1-inspired Autobot Mirage figure can be transformed from robot into a racing car in 20 steps and the Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock figure into a raptor in 28 steps
- Great accessories: comes with 2 blasters. The tail of the Maximal Grimlock figure can be removed in Raptor mode and turned into 2 swords
- EXCLUSIVE PACKAGING: Each Battle Across Time Set has an exclusive design so that impressive battle scenes can be recreated (each sold separately, subject to availability)
Another Collaborative Crossover found?
Apparently someone on TFW found it on the Walmart computers... a "Transformers: Project Jam" listing, at a price of us$70 (the XMen crossover was us$65 and Commander Class pricing is rrp of us$80... so somewhere between those).
I think it would have to be something that was cancelled, or significantly delayed, as the product number is really old for something thatdoesn't appear to have been released yet.
It is E8546, which should have seen it being released September-October 2020, as it follows the product code of two other Project toys...
E8544 - Maverick (Project Cruise) - out September 2020.
E8545 - Gigawatt (Project Future) - out October 2020.
If it is still coming, any guesses as to what "Jam" could be related to, remembering that each Project name is related to the alt-mode of the toy.
Meanwhile, someone else has come across another Transformers product with a codename (the US state name of Alabama), but it isn't a new product.
Hasbro are needing to use codenames for their release of TakaraTomy "exclusive" toys, to prevent/limit leaks before TakaraTomy officially reveal the name or product first, because it is their product, and most of the leaks are of Hasbro products by people finding them early on supplier listings or store computers.
Products and release schedules by Hasbro are planned a year or two in advance for their customers (retailers)... way before TakaraTomy are ready to reveal their "non-Hasbro" items... so with all of the leaks we've been seeing lately on the (Hasbro) US Transformers side, the only way to be sure that TakaraTomy Transformers don't get leaked before they get to reveal the items themselves officially, is to have Hasbro use codenames with the product numbers, and very few people (even within Hasbro) know the true identities of the toys until they are officially revealed.
Currently, the codenames include US states, cities and candy.
(the "Project" figures have codenames as well, but those are Hasbro toys and the codenames are actually related to each toy)
These are some examples that should be safe to mention (so that I don't get into any trouble), as they have already been released or are on the Hasbro Pulse website...
Georgia - F0473 - TT-GS05 Abominus
North Dakota - F2269 - TT-GS11 Volcanicus
Alabama - F4537 - TT-GS12 Soundblaster (their version of the Netflix toy)
-
Hershey - F0472 - MP53 Autobot Skids
Starburst - F0475 - MP52 Starscream
Notice a pattern with the codenames?
Locations are for the JP GEN Selects toys, candy are for JP MP toys.
(I'm not going to risk listing any others before they are known, so don't ask ... this is just an fyi, for those wondering what the codenames are for, and don't obsess too much about them).
And, just because life is messy, Hershey is actually a location as well. Ya can't win, sometimes.Quote:

Hang on.... everyone is wondering what Alabama is going to be.... but you listed it as Soundblaster???.....
The American company called Target has some new listings according to the US news sites. Including what is likely to be a Target US exclusive (sigh) WFC K Road Rage.

That may be true, but the cities so far used as codenames are major/well-known American cities... so the overlap of Hershey (or any other candy item also on the list that might also be a town name) is messy on its own, but as part of the two toy lists makes sense.Quote:

The Power Charge Bumblebee would be that one from 2018 Bumblebee Movie Toyline (same US price) that had that wheel in the chest that you turn to power up the electronics. This thing was a bit of a shelf-warmer back in 2018, so I wouldn't care if it this release doesn't come here, and am surprised that they want to give it another shot at selling it.
Couple of new listings on TFW2005 now, for Studio Series
Deluxe
BB Movie Wheeljack
BB Movie Brawn
BB Movie Ratchet
86 Perceptor
Voyager
BB Movie Soundwave
86 Junkyard (apparently a retool of Wreck Gar?)
Leader
86 Starscream with Coronation Set
I'm most intrigued by the Starscream set. I'm assuming that it's the WFCE Voyager Figure, seeing as that's quite G1 accurate. I'm wondering what they're going to pack in to justify the leader price point. Give that its literally double the price I can't see it being just shoulder pads, cape and crown. Maybe the little podium he was standing on too?
Not holding out much hope for the BB Movie deluxe class Cybertronian figs. I've found a lot of the SS deluxe class car figures to be underwhelming. Robot curls into ball and hides under a cape of vehicle parts. Yawn.
I'm really looking forward to Junkheap and the Wreckgar he's undoubtedly based on.
I'm going to be curious to see if that's a new Perceptor or a re-release of the one from a couple of years ago.
If it's the titans return Perceptor, it needs to be reworked to remove the headmasters gimmick.
And I think if it is the combiner wars Wreck Gar mould, the combiner gimmick will bug me, but might need to keep it so that the junkions look similar.
And if it is Earthrise Voyager Starscream, knowing Hasbro it will just be a padded out leader box with cape, crown and shoulder pads.
I'd like to see a set of 6 trumpets included too... ;)
Considering SS86 Blurr, Hot Rod, Kup, Scourge and Jazz were not Titans Return/POTP reissues, I see no reason to believe anything else will be.
I’d say it’s basically guaranteed that Wreck Gar and Perceptor are new moulds. Glad I didn’t end up getting Legends Perceptor after all. A new mould deluxe Gnaw has been rumoured since day one so there’s that to look forward to.
The rumour for Starscream is that he is at the leader pricepoint, with retooling to accomodate the coronation gear. Supposedly it basically mangles his alt mode because of the bigger shoulder vents.
Oh god. Don't give them any ideas. The last thing my wallet needs is new Constructicons.Quote:

It should mean that Hasbro will officially reveal it fairly soon, as leaked toys or images can often be missing something or be mis-transformed, generating negativity that could have been avoided if it wasn't leaked first.
Yeah, but the official pictures are often no better; in fact they are notorious for it. Even knowing the process that they use, it still blows my mind that they really cannot be arsed to make the tiny effort required to show off their product properly.
And I find that there's just no way to avoid that negativity anyway; even with the perfect pics, someone will find fault. It's what fans do, after all - nobody hates like a fan hates.
I dont get how it would mangle his alt mode? You'd assume that they'd work the crown, shoulder pauldrons & cape around the existing figure, not the other way aroundQuote:
