I'm not expecting much in the way of the micromasters, more than likely a repack and a few repaints. I think the 10 pack and the Walgreen's Ratchet is the only one we haven't seen images of?Quote:

Wonder how much it would cost? $80 or something. Darkhyren is more than likely right.
Take this one with a grain of salt. Reported price and accessories for MP Hound with a December release. The list of accessories sounds too good to be true. Also that price, once again, I'm out of the MP game.

Tfsource now has MP Hound listed for preorder for $US160 so the signs are pointing in that direction.

Regardless I’ll get it. This is a new mold and I don’t collect any other series.
A possible fan-vote for more Generations toys, perhaps for 2020 (the "2019" fan vote gave us Impactor and Mirage), but the image that was found on an Asian site has since been pulled down, but a copy can be seen here.
The image had black silhouettes of four Decepticons that have been identified as Gnaw, Needlenose, Shrapnel and Runamuck (it's a Battlecharger with a gun that looks more like Runamuck's than Runabout's).
If this really is a future fan vote, it's already been rigged to make sure a certain pair win, as we only recently had Gnaw and Shrapnel toys released last year, so people are less likely to vote for them.
(and if Runamuck wins, it would pretty much guarantee the redeco Runabout some time later)
Toy rumours on TFW of Generations toys that might be revealed at SDCC next weekend...
Quote:
- Cybertron Defense Hot Shot – repaint of Hound with new headsculpt. First seen and rumored back in July of last year on Siege Hound’s box.
- Refraktor Three pack – A three pack of Refraktor in Generation one toy colors. Special packaging that will resemble a digital camera box.
- “Hasbro Pulse” Nightbird – Repaint of Chromia with new headsculpt. The listing as “Hasbro Pulse” may indicate this as a Generations Selects figure.
- Deluxe Powerdasher – Repaint of Brunt with new headsculpt.
- Deluxe Decepticon Impactor – Different paint deco from the Wave 4 release of the figure
- Micromaster 10-pack
- Leader Shockwave in Galactic Man deco, black Shockwave aka “Shackwave”. (Revealed today).
- SDCC reveals...
- the name of the next line of figures in the Generations War For Cybertron line.
- New Titan Class figure revealed.
- New Commander Class reveal
- New Leader Class reveal. This is hinted to be a car or armored car.
A third Beast Convoy (Optimus Primal) Masterpiece toy could be coming next year, as BBTS have put up a preliminary listing for a "Burning Convoy" with no images or details other than it being released in March next year.
Since Beast Convoy in Japan appeared on the cartoon at one stage in a red deco, and referred to as Burning Convoy, it's likely to be a toy based on that.
There’s a pic on the BBTS listing now. Yep it’s red and thankfully, it looks hideous.Quote:

Since it was such a success earlier this year in just about every country that had it, it wouldn't be a surprise if it does get a second run. Or, BBTS have just managed to find some excess stock from somewhere in the world, and will get it in two months time. They are selling them for about the same price as the first run, so they aren't reselling old stock from another retailer (unless they got a really good discount).
Entertainment Earth have also listed Ectotron for pre-order, for January... so looks like there might be a second run.
Some possible 2020 toys that were revealed by an online store before they were allowed to...
The first four make sense, but that could also make it easier to pass off a fake list. It might be February's New York Toyfair before we get official confirmation of any of them.Quote:
- Masterpiece Movie Starscream (Transformers 2007)
- Masterpiece Movie Ratchet (Transformers 2007)
- Earthrise Titan Scorponok

- Earthrise Deluxe Runamuck
Someone is claiming to have the Voyager Class Quintesson in hand and the gave a description of the toy. I'm not buying what they claim (because of the lack of evidence), but here is a link to it in case you're interested.

As for the list from earlier today. They are listings taken from Hasbro's official Taobao store, so it would seem Hasbro China has listed next year's toys prematurely much like Amazon AU listed this year's toys prematurely.
Based on the description given, it seems VERY basic for a voyager toy. Perhaps it is Cyberverse rather than Earthrise.Quote:

Someone on Instagram has also posted up a list of toys that they claim will be coming out in 2020, which includes some of the items listed in the leak above. It doesn't mean that the information is corroborated, as it could just be someone trying to get attention by taking the previous listing and adding more names to it.

Some listings found on a Walmart computer system somewhere, so aren't legit until confirmed or we see images - Studio Series Deluxe TF2 Soundwave (the satellite version) and Cyberverse Ultra Skullcruncher.
More prematurely listed items, this time thanks to Walmart. No idea who Slitherfang is so I'm guessing he/she is new. Race Track Patrol was my first Micromaster patrol as a kid so I'm looking forward to seeing them. I was expecting Fast Track to come sooner or later and Hasbro said earlier this year they were working on Snapdragon so I'm not surprised by them. I hope Doubledealer is a unique mould and worthy of kicking my Generations Doubledealer to the curb.

Edit should say listings
A number of those have been in recent "leaks" and "rumour" posts, so hopefully that means they are more likely to be real, and not just different people recycling the same rumours.
The Studio Series Sentinel Prime and Scrapper are definitely coming. Scrapper was the name on the Devastator promo pics early last year, and Sentinel Prime was on a Japanese product listing a few months back, we just didn't know what size class it would be (they do their Studio Series in a different number order).
Blitzwing may have been rumoured before, but if not, it would be expected as one of the few featured robot characters in the Bumblebee Movie (and would have needed a couple of years to design properly, unlike the toys released during the movie that get rushed in order to be in stores in half the time).
Skipjack should just be a yellow redeco of Rampage... as it was the original colour of the Constructicon that Bumblebee fights in the ruins after destroying Ravage (you can see the yellow on the bulldozer and a very rushed two-dimensional red recolouring, as a yellow bulldozer would have been filmed, but I think the robot mode had to be changed to red so that it was easier to track the fist-fight between Rampage and Bumblebee - and I'm pretty sure that the advance screening of some scenes we saw at BotCon 2009 before the movie was released, had a yellow Rampage, which would explain the rush job on the red bulldozer, as the animated robot mode could have its colour changed very quickly in post production)
Having a yellow Rampage released will allow fans to create a screen accurate Devastator with a yellow leg instead of red... and most of the Devastator toys for ROTF had a yellow leg or yellow Rampage. My guess is that the Studio Series Devastator already had 3 yellow Constructicons, so it was decided that it would look better having the red Rampage that Bumblebee killed, to add a bit more colour to the team and combiner, even though it is not screen accurate.
Walmart is at it again. More listings in their system including an Alicon.

Hasbro could do worse, it could be a Cabbage Patch Kid. It's 80's but the wrong kind of 80's.Quote:

I wonder which would have had the most nerd-rage - having it as a hard-to-buy Target exclusive, or have it as a general release items without the Target logos.
I guess I prefer the Target option, so that we will have the three wreckers look movie-accurate, which is the point of the Studio Series (mostly)... it'll just be another challenging purchase, like all of the other Studio Series toys that were obscure exclusives.
EB Games (not sure if it's Australia or Canada) apparently has a listing for Generations Select Micromaster Spy Patrol.

Seems like it's early days yet, but variety.com is reporting 2 new movies in the pipeline based off the strong performance of the BB movie.
One is a Bumblebee sequel and the other is Beast Wars.Quote:

Commander Modesty and Scorponok do look the biz.
Slim hope, but I'd love a Black Zarak down the track
Agreed. I hope Black Zarak makes an appearance too.Quote:

Is the Siege Wheeljack in this leaked image a placeholder? It is not the same as the Siege mold we received at retail. It looks much better than the one we got, IMO.
That's what's really strange, there's actual pictures of the figure, and some people have already got him. Strange. Could be an indication this whole thing is faked, but who knows. Guess we'll see soon.Quote:
