I was thinking more about the notable features of post-Movie '86, i.e. set on Cybertron/in space more than Earth, Rodimus as Autobot Leader, futuristic altmodes, maybe a new Decepticon leader.
Animated Cyclonus has an interesting Wiki entry, I seem to recall Derrick Wyatt mentioning it's 'almost as if he knows the future' in one of his interviews.
That said, a cynic only ever gets nice surprises, and taking things with a grain of salt usually helps avoid disappointment down the track.
:confused:I never said 'will be coming' - I only said what current plans are, with the disclaimer that they might change. Please realise that this info is six months before the fact, a lot can change in six months (remember the G2 Stunticons were tooled and even had a full test run produced before being scrapped). That said, right now this is good info.Quote:

I don't remember mentioning 'Fight Super Robot Life Form: two-oh-one-oh' either.:rolleyes:
I don't want you thinking I can guarantee anything I've said, (I only know what my source(s) have let me know)...
Wise choice, but add two grains of brown sugar, it'll make the salt more palatable.Quote:

- They've been accurate to me 85% of the time
(45% of that I'm sworn to secrecy, and I keep my word so I have no proof that I knew before the fact)
(30% of that I don't think the news is very interesting so don't let other know about it)
(leaving only 10% I can prove - I let several people (Tetsuwan, Mangis (no longer a board member) and I think Griffin for the first 2) know about MP Convoy+Trailer, Starscream, Megatron, Starscream (USAed.), Thundercracker, Skywarp, Grimlock, I even alluded to ML Soundwave well before they were unveiled to the public);- 10% they've let me know about plan changes just before the toys go public (giving me no time to update others without sounding like I'm giving out second hand info:();
- 5%... well my source(s) have to have some plausible deniability :o (must admit they didn't update me to the fact that they'd cancelled MP Roller - the unpainted prototype looked so good too; and USAed, TC & SW could easily be written off as good guesses; and I was led to believe ML Soundwave was going to be MP scaled :().
I really do enjoy reading all the guesses...:D
Forget about the Animated hints, let us in on the next Masterpiece :D
I know how you feel Ark-Ivor as I've been in similar situations. I knew about Ravage appearing in Beast Wars about a year before The Agenda came out, but of course, I couldn't tell anyone about it. Just privately smirk when reading about people's guesses about which G1 character should/would appear in the show. :)
Activator:
Fireblast Grimlock (repaint - shown at Botcon)
Deluxe:
Freeway Jazz (repaint - shown at Botcon)
I knew it this time he would wear the autobot badge instead of the eliteguard symbol. ;)Quote:

Good to hear, I'm glad that they are going to continue with the animated packaging and not roll them over into another line. I'm pretty sure that they said most of them will be offered up as store exclusives so fingers crossed that we get them over here
Sadly, Wasp is a straight repaint, no remolded head.
