    In-hand images of what is said to be T-Wrecks... a redeco of Kingdom Beast Megatron, to homage the Beast Machines T-Wrecks toy (which was also a redeco of the Beast Wars Megatron toy).

    Barney, Megatron, now T-Wrecks. Does the world really need more purple dinosaurs?
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Well revisiting this from the rumours thread based on early Amazon.com.au listings now we know for sure there's four releases...

    Speculation ahead

    Would suggest only Puffer & Road Ranger are a two pack. The box shapes suggest similarly.

    A Wheeljack silhouette for a could be a red-herring but maybe it is Wheeljack as Jackpot? If the pricing suggested a two-pack I would have said an Earthrise Wheeljack as Slicer and SS86 Jazz as Jackpot two pack - but the pricing I think more likely a robot with a weapons pack (maybe the Pteranodon Battlemaster as a new version of Sights?!)

    Maybe this second Amazon.com.au listing (too cheap for a Voyager) Tigatron is actually a Wheeljack with green stripes? An alternative universe, Voyaging Tigatron who is not a Maximal but a racecar?

    Makes me a little doubtful Terrorsaur is the Airazor remold we think it is too but we'll see...

    Yeah, good thought.

    Just realised that Slicer basically has more chance of happening as SG Wheeljack instead

    Though I think I remember reading that tigatron might be the pre-release photograph version with orange on him

    Slicer would be a welcome figure for me to grab. Wouldn't be surprised considering the love for the actionmasters are getting atm

    From the Amazon America page, this image is misleading...



    as it makes it look like the 3rd pack is smaller than 2 and 4, but in this other image of the combination of the four boxes, the 3rd pack is actually bigger than 2 and 4 (because pack 1 is biggest, but in the image above it is smaller.



    I think this could mean 2 deluxes (pack 2 and 4), and 1 voyager (pack 3).... which could line up with the names that Paulbot quoted, but the silhouette of Wheeljack doesn't help, as Jackpot should be from Jazz... unless the listing had the wrong "Actionmaster" character name.

    Red herring confirmed. Battlemaster Sights also confirmed. That was fast

    Leaked, so less "rumour", but not yet official... a redeco of the *cab* ONLY from the Kingdom Ultra Magnus toy, painted up as Optimus/Convoy.



    I think this is the first time(?) we've had a complete reversal of what we usually get (an Optimus cab redecoed white and called Ultra Magnus, I think first started with MP-2 back in 2003).

    The leaked images also reveal a ridiculously complex display stand (made up of what looks like 61 parts!!!) in three different colours - silver, red, purple.

    We might know more on October 7th, but that date stamp might just be a wholesaler marking.

    The display base is something fancy just to be fancy (and unnecessarily expensive), rather than being practical... as it is made to look like it is defying gravity, but as such wouldn't be able to hold too much weight - this youtube video shows how the concept works (the small string is holding all the weight of the stand and everything you put on top, while the two long strings are only there to prevent the top from tipping over, so the small string has to be the most secure and strongest).
