I'd be willing to bet that one of the Decepticons is Runabout. Of course Hasbro will want us to complete the Runamuck/Runabout duo by putting one of them in an exclusive 2 pack. :rolleyes:

Someone has been digging around on the walmart computers in America, and they claim to have found the second wave of Netflix Deluxes (based on their price and coding).
If that list is true, and Netflix toys are only redecos, the last five should be obvious redecos of Siege toys (with Deep Cover and Elita 1 being full redecos). Wheeljack would have to be the first wave Siege toy with battle damage like most of the first wave, and Bumblebee must be just a redeco of Siege Cliffjumper, while Quintesson is an odd one as Allicon is the only Deluxe "Quintesson", and it might not be out before this second wave (the first Netflix toys were all redecos of toys that had been out for a while).Quote:
- TRA DELUXE BUMBLEBEE
- TRA DELUX QUINTESSON
- TRA DELUXE WHEELJACK
- TRA DELUXE IMPACTOR
- TRA DELUX DEEP COVER
- TRA DELUXE RED ALERT
- TRA DELUXE BARRICADE
- TRA DELUXE ELITA 1
Cheetor is also apparently rumoured:
https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/05/14/...listing-411351
The leading theory seems to be that we might be getting a new deluxe Ravage in Earthrise, and this would be a redeco of that. If that's the case they'll probably both be based on Transmetal Cheetor, which was redecoed into Ravage ("Tripredacus Agent") in BW.
Studio Series Devastator boxset, apparently found on a UK wholesaler website, so until it is officially revealed, or listed at a major retailer, it's yet to be confirmed.
The pricing is somewhere between £200-280 (about AU$380-530). No other details though, like when and what will be in the box.
Well if this is true, it is hardly a surprise... it was just the estimated price that might have been the stumbling block for Hasbro to do it. But considering they have been offering the really expensive Japanese import MP toys in the last year or so through their online store (and exclusive outlets), they probably thought that it wouldn't look as bad in comparison.
Take this one with a grain of salt because it could just be a digibash, but there is a picture making the rounds of a sleep mode Earthrise Optimus Prime.

Unless Optimus dies (again) in the WFC cartoon, I don't see the point of it.
From a German website, a listing for WFC Bluestreak.
If you believe Seibertron a future Studio Series Grimlock release listed in Walmart?s system will instead cover the 86 movie and include Wheelie.
It really seems like a stretch to me. And to be honest, I?d be more excited about a G1 Grimlock and Wheelie release than I would a studio series. If you want a good WFC Grimlock toy we already had them, even repainted in G1 colours. But I would kill for a reissue of the actual Grimlock toy, for all his chunkyness as lack of articulation. And imagine the repaint possibilities. Blue and teal Grimlock would be awesome. Heck there?s not a colour in the rainbow I wouldn?t buy G1 Grimlock in.
If TFwiki is correct we know all the Studio Series toys up to number 67. The next figure would be 68. Is it not more likely that someone mistyped 68 as 86 than for the line to suddenly shift to TFTM?Quote:

If it is TFTM characters the idea it's anything other than repaints of the characters who've all been released in the last three years is pretty laughable.
I certainly wouldn't like to see the 1986 movie be roped into the Studio Series, as they have their own design, and are far from being "complete". An anniversary release of 1986 movie characters should be their own line... if they were to be part of Studio Series, with that level of detailing and engineering, we would need to see a whole new range of 1984-1986 characters done in the same way (like the Studio Series Optimus from the Bumblebee Movie).
I would have to agree with the above sentiment, that it is more likely to be a redeco Grimlock (which would be disappointing), and come with a proper transforming Wheelie toy (the non-converting one that came with Shockwave was insulting).
Just remembered Wheelie returned in The Last Knight. So yeah, it's #68 TLK Grimlock with Wheelie
More photos of this toy in-hand. If it isn't a legit upcoming item, it looks like one of those "lunchtime specials" we used to see (the factory producing a small run, or even a test-run, to sell without authorisation, instead of disposing them).Quote:

I was so sure that the 86 Grimlock listing was some sort of error, but then 86 Gnaw was now found, supporting the idea of the 1986 Movie being included in the Studio Series toyline... which I don't think will look right, and opens up the potential of them doing characters that were in the 1986 Movie but weren't new to the Movie (like Grimlock).
I don’t know, something still doesn’t smell right.
The first two Leader (AOE Grimlock and TF Blackout) figures being repainted/retooled as TLK Grimlock and ROTF Grindor and both being given an extra accessory/character from those movies (TLK Wheelie and ROTF Ravage) seems so symmetrical and logical to me.
I can’t imagine new TFTM character figures being developed when Earthrise is releasing Arcee (already one of three), Quintesson Judge (also in Cyberverse), Allicon and rumoured Bumblebee and Blurr.
Over the last few years we’ve had pretty much everyone important in the movie released in the current lines of cartoon accurate Generations figures: Optimus, Ironhide, Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, Shockwave, Hot Rod, Kup, Ultra Magnus Blurr, Springer, Perceptor, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, Cliffjumper, Jazz, all the Dinobots, the Insecticons, Gnaw, Wheelie, Blaster, Brawn, Prowl, Ratchet, the Constructicons, Galvatron, Scourge, Cyclonus, Wreck-Gar, Rodimis Prime... even Unicron is part of the current line of toys!!!
Other than a better scale Blaster and a more cartoon accurate Cyclonus and Wreck-Gar (likely all coming in the next part of the trilogy with a new Galavtron) there’s no need to make new toys.
Remember the Platnium set of Movie characters a few years ago: that’s what I’d expect if anything.
Got to get this one.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/06/06/...averick-412505
I feel the need, the need for this.
Looking forward to pics of bot mode.
Hhmmm... not feeling it from the robot mode. Jet mode looks nice, but honestly if I just wanted a neat looking F14 Tomcat I'd go buy a model kit. The pic of the robot mode on the box looks too much like the Star Wars Crossovers TFs (I've never liked how they tried to make the robot modes resemble the pilots). Maybe photos of the actual robot mode will look gooder.
Totally did not see this coming (I was hoping for Back to the Future) but I can get on board with this.
When I posted about a new Cyclonus last night it was an expectation given the CW version wasn’t accurate.
I didn’t expect a leak to show a new Cyclonus a few hours later.
I think it might be a fan custom or third party KO, but did you see the Top Gun Maverick in the background of those photos. Seems kinda left field, and the Transformers logo isn?t right
Do you think dino will be non licensed look alike (but not too much a like)
I'm really hoping they've gotten that Ferrari license.Quote:

Has this toy been officially announced as a Hasbro product yet? Could it be a KO, custom or photoshop?
This appearing with a never-officially-revealed Cyclonus prototype makes me suspicious.
It hasn't.
It hasn't been officially revealed, and could be in the rumours topic later.

That Sleep Mode Optimus Prime is apparently coming as a Prime Day Exclusive and is being called Alternate Universe Optimus Prime for some strange reason.
Did Hasbro think nobody would buy a dead Transformer?
https://www.seibertron.com/transform...-photos/44898/
Unless it is a plot element of the Netflix cartoon, I think it is rather morbid to sell dead Transformers. Takara did it once with their first Masterpiece Convoy/Optimus, and even they called it something else (Sleep Convoy)... so calling it "alternative universe" Optimus is also a bit strange. If it is supposed to be dead, then call it that, otherwise, to me it just looks like a lazy redeco along the lines of the compulsory black Japanese redecos.
And if you think about it, how do you even play with a dead character toy? It's only purpose is to swap out the coloured, "living" toy that you are playing with, so it can't do anything or even transform when used in a play environment (unless you go down the zombie route).
If zombie transformers are a thing (ignoring that awful season 3 episode Dweller in the Depths), why not sell more of them... in shades of grey and with red eyes.
The rumoured Earthrise Hubcap toy shown off with Cliffjumper, as it appears to be a redeco of Cliffjumper with a new head. Some images can be seen here.
When Hasbro had all their toys made in China several years ago, we were having lots of toys being stolen from the factory and sold off to people posting up money-making youtube videos... and now it looks like it is starting to happen again, as a number of leaked toys have appeared in the last few months.

A GEN Dirge has been leaked, probably from the same source as the Thrust toy from a few weeks ago.
So looks like more G1 characters in the Studio Series. Jazz (could be G1 or 07 movie), Blurr and Kup.
