Based on the leaks maaaan....
Windsweeper and Sureshot, come on down!!
Can't wait. Hope the backlash was early enough for them not to make the same mistakes with Sureshot as they did with Pointblank.

The Armada Prime from the factory has gone up on Yahoo Auctions

The leak squad also regrets posting the Overload connection, so get Overload soon if you ever plan on getting one
Why would we need to buy a 20-year-old Overload? Does anyone seriously imagine that Hasbro doesn't already have it slotted in somewhere in the next couple of years?
Likely to be the same gullible marks who fell for that Drillbit spike last year

SS86 Snarl up for auction too but I dont think its going to be as expensive as the Armada Prime.......80k and still time to go.
That's some stupid levels of impatience tax.Quote:

Images of Toy-line have been shown, showing that he is a new head retool of scraphook, with a colour scheme similar to his appearance in RID 2001. Wish he was retooled a bit more to get rid of any mad mex elements, but oh well at least we're getting toys from characters outside G1Quote:

We're getting into a position where I suspect we're going to see a bunch of Machine Wars homages in the next few years, probably in whatever subline replaces Velocitron.
Towline can be repainted into either Hubcap or Hoist.
Leader TFPrime Skyquake can be done as MW Starscream or even MW Megatron in a weird roundabout way. Leader TFPrime Skyquake is a pretool of G1 Skyquake, which is the mold used for MW Starscream. The 2013 Botcon Machine Wars set also used Animated Voyager Skyquake for MW Megatron.
Decent. I prefer Guzman and Gomez on balance.Quote:

4x per case
Transformers: The Movie retro #5 will be Perceptor and #7 will be Shrapnel. No news about #6, which I guess will be Skywarp.

Some new Walmart exclusives have been given their first look, which feature figures based off unreleased G2 decos!
Update: listings also reveal the rest of the deluxes.
According to one Instagram post, TV writer Michael Reaves has passed away.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CqEoCI-qXBW/
I haven't been able to find any other sources, and tfwiki, Wikipedia and IMDB all still list him as being alive, so I'm treating this as a rumour for now.
Michael Reaves wrote the G1 episode, "The Big Broadcast of 2006," which was adapted into an issue of the G1 comics by Simon Furman. Reaves also wrote three episodes of Beast Machines; Season 1's "Mercenary Pursuits," and Season 2's "Sparkwar Part I: The Search," and "Endgame Part 1: The Downward Spiral."
Seem's we've got a new Nacelle on the way. Some sort of exclusive, most likely Amazon and/or Pulse.
Did we not get shadowstrip already?
Last year at Kmart as part of the Velocitron line. The PR indicates a Product Refresh, AKA a reissue.Quote:

Hasbro revealed to various fan sites such as TFW2005 that some Hasbro brands will return to window and blister packaging late 2023. No mention of impact on TF toylines.
Someone has gotten their hands on an early sample of what looks like an IDW Miner Megatron. Looks nice for IDW collectors.

I really hope not. It’s so nice and easy to just rip it all open without all the plastic crap.Quote:

So, Miner Megatron is in a two-pack with Senator Ratbat (re-tooled from Scourge), and these are the first box of this year's Amazon capsule (last year's was the Wreckers).
So far for this capsule we have:
1 deluxe (currently unknown)
1 voyager (Nacelle)
2 pack of voyagers (Miner Megatron and Senator Ratbat)
2 pack (price point and identities currently unknown, but the art on the previous 2 pack is suggestive...)
1 leader (currently unknown)
I like, but it's a bit of shame there doesn't seem to be any plan to finish the Wreckers (Whirl and Roadbuster would have been nice, and Diaclone Topspin seemed obvious).
An error on Amazons behalf shows it’s probably gonna be Shockwave and Orion Pax.Quote:

Here's a Shattered Glass Rodimus out of the SS86 Hot Rod mould.

And here is a G2 Mirage based on an unreleased G2 variant like the upcoming Orange Jazz and Blue Ramjet.

MP G1 Hoist might be a retool of MP Trailbreaker.
This years Buzzworthy Bumblebee 4 pack has been leaked, and it contains the following:
Voyager Seeker (appears to be a straight re-release of Thundercracker)
Deluxe Autotrooper (new head retool of Siege Ironhide with an alternative head included)
Deluxe Bailiff (a redeco/retool of War for Cybertron Trilogy Quintesson Bailiff, also with an alternative head included)
Deluxe G2 Jhiaxus Trooper (new head retool of Legacy Skullgrin with an alternative head included)
And in that same thread we have pictures of a (Buzzworthy SS86) two pack of Ironhide and Prowl. Dead Ironhide and Prowl, from the movie. Holes (that appear to be able to fit the accompanying blast effects), damage paint, screaming faces.
Also, Prowl is not a straight re-issue of Earthrise - apart from the colours, there's a new bumper at least.
