Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

[Autocon]

So the kombi van, is that a carry over from the last knight? There was a decepticon kombi that never transformed.

There seems to be an upcoming G1 Hound toy reissue in cartoon colours, similar to the recently released 86 Movie deco reissue Hot Rod and Starscream.

Phwoar... that Hound!!

Totally falls in the category of "something I didn't know I needed"...

Makes me wonder how far they might take this line.

Have we had a Western Anime Astrotrain yet?

The original G1 prototype colouring was closest to the animation model colour scheme. The Collector's Edition (2004) version was meant to be a reissue with that prototype's colour scheme but got it wrong. Lol

I too am loving this G1 Hound. I really dig this idea of making the original G1 toys in animation accurate colours.

I really like that Nightbird from a mold perspective, but those colours are rough.

When i saw that ROTB Wheeljack, i thought it was CHUG Voyager Seaspray. Probably the goggle they both wear.

Some more 2023 listings have been found, which includes:
Legacy:
Tra Gen Legacy EV Commander 2 (Armada Optimus Prime)
Tra Gen Legacy EV Titan 2 (Nemesis)
ROTB Mainline:
Tra TF7 Deluxe Butch (Cheetor)
Tra TF7 Core Voyager Assortment
Tra TF7 Voyager Optimus Prime
Tra TF7 Voyager Rhinox
Tra TF7 Voyager Optimus Primal
Buzzworthy:
Tra BB TF7 Jungle Escape Pack
Studio Series:
Tra Gen Studio Series Dlx WFC Infantry
Shattered Glass:
Tra Gen SG LDR Grimlock

What the Jungle Escape pack is at the moment is unknown, but seeing as it has Tf7 next to it, it looks like it'll be related to that movie. The other listing also gives us a bit of a suprise, a commander class Ultra Magnus! What this is at the moment is unknown, but I suspect it'll be like Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus, only this time it'll be scaled for deluxe figures (similar to RID 2001 Ultra Magnus)

Personally, I don't need another G1 Ultra Magnus after the already very faithful Leader Class Ultra Magnus. But I wouldn't say no to a CR/RID Ultra Magnus to go along with CR/RID Scourge from this year.

The SS86 Commander is supposedly Ultra Magnus. Can’t say I’m thrilled as the Kingdom one was already a huge improvement on the Siege figure and I was happy with it, to get a new one so soon and presumably at the cost of another Commander figure is frustrating. Springer is next with some minor but satisfying mould changes, I’ll bet.

It better be good, in any case. I am an all-in-one Magnus fan, but if it is an armoured up Prime, at the very least it is a good opportunity to make an Optimus mould not plagued with budget comrpomises, paving the way for a cartoon-accurate Commander Optimus in 2024. Bit of a broken record at this point but the Earthrise Optimus was so good but was failed by moulding restraints for the budget.
