Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

[Tranceblade]

Pixelmaster has had multiple verified posts on TFW, I don't know why you wouldn't

Are you assuming everyone reads every last Transformers forum? I just come here and I read the headlines on Seibertron, so if someone has not been active in this community I'm not going to know anything about if they are trustworthy or not.

Except you're talking to someone who knows, speaks, talks, types, and uses Chinese on a daily basis?

Okay, I don't doubt you. But how am I meant to know that about you? When exactly did you mention it? All I knew of you prior to this post is that your profile says you live in Hobart.

I can see that the text above is the same as in the screenshot, and I can see that Google translate gives the translation above. Thank you Tranceblade for doing that work (I've no idea how to get pastable characters out of that screen capture), that's gone a long way here. But I'd still like someone to confirm explictly, or tell me how I can confirm for myself, that the account that made the post is a real Hasbro account.

Can we all just take a pause on this for a while, until something definitely official comments on this matter.
As it stands, this issue (true or not) is only affecting Taiwan, so it should have no bearing on us here even if it is true... so I don't see much need to be digging into the matter or debating it's validity, because it won't affect anyone here, unless you had a pre-order through a Taiwanese dealer.

Pics of Velocitron Voyager Hot Rod have been leaked, showing him to be more of a G1 toy accurate redeco. Feels weird how not long ago the cartoon accurate toy has the more premium one, and now it's the G1 toy accurate one.

The man with the info on port comings and goings says that Victory Sabre is currently arriving at US ports.

Just to wind it back a couple pages....

... Yay Beachcomber!!!

Devcon and Brawn are also cool.

Not a rumour, but obviously its contents before its date would be - another Hasbro Pulse fanstream is scheduled for October 27th (early morning Saturday 28th here).

Is Hasbro Pulse set to expand to Australia?
Youtuber Dan Who? recently talked to a Hasbro rep by the name of Emily at MCM Comiccon about G.I. Joe and in his video he asked about the lines move to go Hasbro Pulse Exclusive in the UK(the question starts at 17:31 if the timestamp in the link doesn't work) said rep read out a prepared statement from 'Consumer Care', along the already known news the GI Joe classified line would be Pulse exclusive in several European Markets and the UK, it would be available through Pulse in Australia, sounds good except we don't have Pulse yet do we? Slip of the tongue when preparing the statement? It can't be an Australia/Austria thing because both are specifically mentioned in the statement
