Wheeljack looks like a model from one of the mobile games - so probably a placeholder.

Thank you! I thought it looked familiar but couldn't quite place it in any context. I would've bought it if Hasbro made it. Earth Wars Wheeljack, it is.Quote:

Call me soulless. But then I wanted to kill him from first sight back in 87.
Sky Lynx is great, a lot of what I imagined back in CW when he was rumoured. Another sacrifice to the IDW shelf now I guess.
Botcon is back, totally not an early April Fool's joke. Don't know if licensed, with Hasbro's blessing or against it. Speculate...
HAHAHA LOLQuote:

Well that's two more Masterpiece releases I'll be paying no attention to.Quote:

I like big backs and I can not lie
I bet once I see Arcee's price I'll give her a wide berth like I did Convoy V3.
Hopefully, Tigatron is a similar price to Cheetor.
I'm buying the Beast Wars MPs since I've always wanted that season 1 BW cast of toys, but the original toys really suck in many cases. Given there are only 13 (?) characters in season 1 of BW I think my wallet can stand up to that punishment.
The previously mentioned unannounced WFC E Alicon and a new WFC E Arcee have been listed at Amazon UK.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/02/15/...istings-405262
Probably less of a rumour now, but there still are no official listings or proper product pages at a retailer yet (this is only a product listing that is alleged to be from Target in America).
Studio Series TF2 (Deluxe?) Soundwave (which would be the satellite version), TF6 Deluxe Cliffjumper (hopefully a new Cybertronian mould and not just a redeco of one of the Bumblebees), TF6 Voyager Blitzwing, TF3 Deluxe Topspin.
I would expect that the New York Toyfair this weekend will reveal a few of these upcoming Studio Series toys.
Oh god, that's this weekend? Thank's for the heads up. I love seeing all the new stuff at Toy Fair even for lines I don't collect like Power Rangers.Quote:

Why do I get the feeling Hasbro didn't learn from the backlash of last year's many, many exclusives?
That's exactly what I was thinking too...Quote:

And with such a large percentage of War For Cybertron toys are limited exclusives, this is just going to keep forcing fans to be hostile towards Hasbro, instead of winning them over with new characters and ideas.
Any ideas what the Movie Masterpiece will be? My heart hopes for Starscream but it will probably be Ratchet..
I did see a rumour last year that Starscream was the next one coming.Quote:

Movie Masterpiece 480366 (Editor's note, this is probably Ratchet)
MPM Ratchet would be perfect to finish the Autobots from the first movie. Starscream and Ratchet were meant to be released this year so I'm sure Starscream's announcement will follow suit.
MPM Ratchet would make me very happy, given how he never really got a decently scaled figure. Completing the first movie Autobot set is an added bonus.
And Amazon UK has listed an "Alternate Universe" Optimus Prime.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/02/23/...listing-406884
A UK retailer has listed an Earthrise Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker.
https://www.seibertron.com/transform...-listed/44566/
And here's a first look at both. Sunstreaker looks amazing in both modes. My only gripe is with the gaps in the lower legs. Gonna get two of SS.Quote:

Yes. It was the HFTD leader Starscream toy.Quote:

Call Megatron’s alt mode a submarine, a spacecraft or whatever. Just don’t say it’s a gun. Done. Now sell a squillion units.
Be funny if it turns out to be Action Master G1 Megs. :p
Actually, no it wouldn't.
Yet more evidence that we are getting a Gen Select Exhaust, Greasepit and Hubcap in the near future.

Earthrise Earthmode 2-Pack Product Description Revealed: Prowl and Ironhide
https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/05/06/...ronhide-411057
So, do I replace my Siege Ironhide and possibly Siege Ratchet with Earthrise figures? Ah, probably not.Quote:

A battlefield to build! The siege is over, but the war for Cybertron has only just begun. Although Autobots and Decepticons have left Cybertron, their fight continues in space as they search for the Allspark. The Autobot Alliance and the elite hunters compete! The images on the WFC-E31 Autobot Alliance and WFC-E27 Elite Hunters packs show both sides of their epic battle after the Ark landed on Earth. Combining the two completes the battle scene (elite fighters WFC-E27 sold separately, while stocks last) Tough, safety officer Autobot Ironhide converts into a van in 22 stages. Military strategist Autobot Prowl converts to a police car in 15 steps. The toy also contains 2 blasters. Transformers and all associated characters are trademarks of Hasbro.
The question is, are they just Siege redecos, or Earthrise new moulds.
And who do you think is in the other pack? If the name is Hunters, my thinking is Coneheads 2-pack, even though it would be 2 Voyagers verses 2 Deluxe (these two 2-packs pair up, and the boxes share the one battle scene, like the Siege packs that had Skywarp and black Sideswipe).
