Ah, fair enough, I saw that Unicron.com mentioned it as well. Either way, I'm still very interested in getting these Fossilizers.

Ton Ton has a review for the Kup up as well. Pics up at TFW2005.com.
On a different note, I wonder if this means we'll get some remolded Junkions if/when they do Wreck-gar?
I'm wondering if we'll get another Prime for the SS line?
Kinda outdates the Earthrise figures if we get similar characters released in such a short time frame.
Really looking forward to more beast wars stuff.
I know one of the leaked walmart listings mentions an Ultra Magnus but I think the Prime for SS'86 was the "Alternate Universe Prime" that is currently available.Quote:

The fossilizers look cute and I might have to get some. :)
As for the Ark, does that mean we should really also get, what's it called, the Nemesis?
I get what you mean here. Yes, it's been pointed out that the 1986 movie is technically a movie, but it feels kind of weird, as if Hasbro is imposing G1 on a specifically movieverse line.Quote:

From RotF alone, there are still Skids and Mudflap as both the ice cream truck and individual Chevrolet cars, Jolt (who is apparently confirmed somewhere), Sideswipe as a coupe (which would be different enough to warrant a new figure or at least a heavy remould), and the Fallen himself. If Hasbro wanted to pad out the line, they could also do a bumper remould and slight redeco on Bumblebee to make him RotF-accurate, or they could repaint Blackout to make Grindor.
It's an accessory pack like the centurion, a crown, some broken trumpets and a pile of dust ;)Quote:

SS86 Kup's face bothers me - it feels too long for the rest of the head. But I feel like I know why it is designed that way. I feel like they've gone for his "fix me" look on Quintessa with his sad droopy eyes and longer face. I can't seem to upload an image to show.
I personally I would have been fine to keep the face design but make it about 80-90% of what it is so it didn't dominate over the helmet so much.
I prefer the Takara version of Titans Return Kup, especially re: the face.
The SS86 Hot Rod looks really promising. Looking forward to it!
Grimlock and Wheelie look super-rad

This series is starting to look really bloody good.Quote:

Jazz looks very accurate, which is nice because we have a pretty definitive version of the winged one in RTS Jazz. I love my Legends Blurr and this one looks extremely close to it. Unless it’s spectacular I’ll stick with my Legends one.
I wish Hasbro would just announce this stuff already.
There is another fan first Friday this week... maybe they might reveal them then.
But I think they are revealing the item I was told not to talk about until the 17th, which is the day after this online reveal.
If these are final versions, they all say 86 now where the previous ones had the individual numbers... which is a bit of a shame, as I liked the ordering system for the packaging.Quote:

You have to consider Earthrise/Kingdom and Studio Series TFTM as all parts of the same collection.Quote:

WFC has Unicron
Studio Series gives us Hot Rod, Scourge, Kup, Jazz, Grimlock, Wheelie and Blurr, unconfirmed Slag
Out of the packaging all of these figures are in scale (well not Unicron) and same designs, they're meant to fit together.
Throw in a reissue of Devastator and it's clear the TFTM cast is coming at us from multiple directions
If I was the Hasbro team right now I'd be getting very annoyed with the leaks happening.
Blurr would have been a great surprise as I don't think that one had been discussed before. And while the remainder had been rumoured, we didn't have any shots of Grimlock and Wheelie, so much of what I expect to be shared tomorrow has been somewhat spoiled
They're even coming with effect parts and molded with the hard points to attach them too. I'm sure numbering will be on the live action toys.
Keen to know more about this Jazz. Have they finally secured that Porsche licensing?
VW and Porsche are owned by the same company aren't they? So maybe and we'll get to see on fan first Friday?Quote:

I'm keen to see a bit more of that Blurr.
One thing that image made me realise is that Blurr’s “shield” is purely a toy thing and hence an accurate to the movie toy of him (SS or MPh wouldn’t have one. Feels like a missing piece though!
I like the use of different parts of the movie as backdrops.
2 thumbs up, Hasbro.
Another two small photos of leaked Kingdom toys (Deluxe, Voyager, Leader), showing the packaging.... including the inner packaging, which doesn't have any plastic inserts (part of their greener packaging promise a couple years ago).
It also shows a second Leader toy, which is a re-release of the Earthrise Leader Optimus toy.
Another one of the next year's toys have been reviewed by one of the leakers - Studio Series Jazz - with screenshots here.
From one of the current sources of leaks comes a Studio Series toy that I wasn't aware of - MV2 (ROTF) DLX Bumblebee with Sam figurine.
Since they didn't get the toy with packaging, it is unknown what Studio Series number it has.
Screen shots of the review video can be seen here.
Bumblebee looks to be a minor remould of the SS-49 Bumblebee... which means one more Movie that has Bumblebee toy for it in Studio Series.
The Sam figurine is a solid piece that doesn't have any moving parts.
Studio Series Movie Bumblebee scaled TF with a human. So a Leader class price tag? Just kidding, more likely Voyager.

Like all we need is another Arcee!
Same arcee though as Earthrise right?
