    I agree with Goldie, it'll probably be a repaint of Leobreaker.

    I personally dislike how Hasbro persistently call the Leobreaker mould "Leo" because "Leo" means lion (Panthera leo) and the beast mode is a liger/tigon (Panthera leo x P. tigris), not a lion (hence why Leobreaker's Japanese name is Liger Jack). :/

    Arise, Liger Prime!

    Do you honestly expect that the man who named a Transformer 'Scattor' would be able to see the distinction between the two??

    I don't see any point in making a separate topic, so I'm just adding to this one.

    More new toy listings were found on the same site. From http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transf...lmart-com.html

    Transformers Animated Bumper Battler Lockdown
    Transformers Animated Bumper Workzone Bulkhead
    Transformers Animated Bumper Stealth Ninja Jazz
    Transformers Animated Activators Bandit Lockdown
    Transformers Animated Activators Ramjet
    Transformers Universe Deluxe Dinobot
    Transformers Universe Deluxe Starscream

    DINOBOT HECK YEAH

    I wonder if the Starscream is the Classics version re-released or supposed to represent another version?

    I'm surprised about Starscream since they already did him in classics. It'll probably be just a re-release like the Prime/Megatron 2 pack.
    I am hoping Dinobot is a new mold. A Grimlock repaint would suck, and I was never a fan of the Beast Wars mold.
    Ramjet is predictable, just wonder if they will do the female one with a re-molded face like they did for Cliffjumper

    I wouldn't really mind a Grimlock repaint (I was searching for him last year and never found him!), but NOT as Dinobot. It wouldn't work at all.

    Meh. Whatever happens, it's going to end up in my collection for sure.

    The boards seem to think both Screamer & Dinobot are new moulds but to me - Classics Screamer & Reissue Dinobot are both perfect so I just can't see myself forking out money for these 2...

    Rhinox wouldn't be to hard to do as they don't have to radically change the transformation sequence of his original toy. Just fix things such as the head mold and integrate the front leg shells into his arms like in the cartoon.
