Annoying that the Stunticons are being split up to one per wave. Still, I'm glad that they're being given a second go as the CW Menasor was terrible (mostly thanks to the torso).
Plus possible studio series releases, https://www.seibertron.com/transform...nd-more/46316/
I dont get the 86 Arcee. we already have ER + Kingdom, and wouldn't think the 86 model would be any different...
We can hope, but then it wouldn't be SS86 any more. Very puzzling, unless someone's cracked the mystery of not making a shelf-former.Quote:

Unless it's a redeco or a repack (I don't know why), I honestly can't see them doing a new Arcee toy in the Studio Series toyline, considering that the 86 SS toys belong with the WFC toys.
It's still listing a 86 Ratchet and not a 86 Ratbat. Weird.
An 86 Arcee after an Earthrise Arcee and a Kingdom Arcee? I mean come on! Maybe it's meant to be a BB/TF6 Arcee except that's in a previous wave. Weird again.
With the Generations line, I'm assuming Energon Monster is a Prime Terrorcon - maybe a pre-tool of a Prime Cliffjumper?
Hasbro must be making up for decades of not making a G1 Arcee toy.
Seibertron.com isleakingrevealing basically everything from 2022 on their homepage right now.
It's a leak as big as at the POTP one if all true.
^ Walgreens Minerva. I wonder if that means we will also get a Nightbeat?
MPM Blackout... wow wasn't expecting that...
There has been an American leaking the bulk of the toy listings from the last two years, many months in advance.... I'm amazed Hasbro America hasn't tried tracking down the person and dealing with them. If I had publicly posted up future toys that I've been told in the same way, I'd never be talked to by Hasbro Australia ever again.
Oh, wait... I have that now, so I should have been publicly posting up secret info to earn it. :p
Lesson learnt :DQuote:

Im more likely to get this than the WFCK version tbh
Well revisiting this from the rumours thread based on early Amazon.com.au listings now we know for sure there's four releases...Quote:

Maybe this second Amazon.com.au listing (too cheap for a Voyager) Tigatron is actually a Wheeljack with green stripes? An alternative universe, Voyaging Tigatron who is not a Maximal but a racecar?
Makes me a little doubtful Terrorsaur is the Airazor remold we think it is too but we'll see...
Yeah, good thought.
Just realised that Slicer basically has more chance of happening as SG Wheeljack instead
Though I think I remember reading that tigatron might be the pre-release photograph version with orange on him
Slicer would be a welcome figure for me to grab. Wouldn't be surprised considering the love for the actionmasters are getting atm
From the Amazon America page, this image is misleading...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2021/092806.jpg
as it makes it look like the 3rd pack is smaller than 2 and 4, but in this other image of the combination of the four boxes, the 3rd pack is actually bigger than 2 and 4 (because pack 1 is biggest, but in the image above it is smaller.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2021/092805.jpg
I think this could mean 2 deluxes (pack 2 and 4), and 1 voyager (pack 3).... which could line up with the names that Paulbot quoted, but the silhouette of Wheeljack doesn't help, as Jackpot should be from Jazz... unless the listing had the wrong "Actionmaster" character name.
Red herring confirmed. Battlemaster Sights also confirmed. That was fastQuote:

I think this is the first time(?) we've had a complete reversal of what we usually get (an Optimus cab redecoed white and called Ultra Magnus, I think first started with MP-2 back in 2003).
The leaked images also reveal a ridiculously complex display stand (made up of what looks like 61 parts!!!) in three different colours - silver, red, purple.
We might know more on October 7th, but that date stamp might just be a wholesaler marking.
The display base is something fancy just to be fancy (and unnecessarily expensive), rather than being practical... as it is made to look like it is defying gravity, but as such wouldn't be able to hold too much weight - this youtube video shows how the concept works (the small string is holding all the weight of the stand and everything you put on top, while the two long strings are only there to prevent the top from tipping over, so the small string has to be the most secure and strongest).

Those stands were really popular in the Lego community about 6 months ago
I strangely really want that Prime, but couldn't care less about the stand. I'll either sell it or use it for something else that really needs it. The Magnus cab mould can stand just fine without assistance.
Plenty of pics this morning showing the Metroplex for next year…. And it IS Cybertron the series version….
Looks about as exciting a figure as its original release
Look as much as I love Cybertron, I think we can all agree if there was meant to be a big bot from the Unicron Triolgy, it had to be Tidal Wave. Hoping that maybe a future toyline we'll get a new toy from him.
Why is it, the bigger Hasbro does toys, the simpler they make them, to the point that this one looks like the robot is just folded up in two different yoga forms.
Tidal Wave definitely needs a new figure.Quote:

Wow. That Magnus redeco shows that Prime can look just fine without the cartoony faux slender waist.
Probably to make it less complex which in turn makes it cheaper with the parts count and costs with engineering
The image, in case it gets taken down from the major fansites...

Is it wrong that I feel underwhelmed by Metroplex? I thought he would be tankier and cooler.. the big arse saw looks cool, but that's a pricey saw ?
It looks pretty much like Cybertron Metroplex to me. Just with slightly more normal proportions. He's still lanky, just human lanky, not alien robot lanky.Quote:

It does seem a little odd given how many people clamour for a titan-class Tidal Wave. Ah well. At least there are a lot of people who have an interest in the Unicron Trilogy stuff.
I've also got no real interest in it, but I started the same way with the Ark. Which is now sitting a metre or two to the left of me as I type, atop my printer, with some very freshly fitted Juqi gap fillers... :) Cybertron Metroplex could become more interesting with better pictures, which wouldn't be hard given the single poor image that has leaked so far.
Sometimes things don't appeal at all, right up until they're suddenly somehow a really cool lump of plastic :P
Yeah, I've certainly seen Tidal Wave pop up more than once in comment sections either as speculation for an upcoming titan or simply one that people want and I'd be amazed if Hasbro aren't aware of it. That said, it's not like they can't do it the following year or whenever, but yes Cybertron Metroplex as the first non-G1 titan does seem odd.Quote:

I had forgotten them. Was barely aware of Hotshot being from that line originally (and only because I looked him up when the toy was released), and I honestly had no idea that Cybertron was where Siege's Galaxy Upgrade Prime was from :)Quote:
