Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

[DELTAprime]

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?

Since there's an AOE Grimlock it would have to be TLK Grimlock - so maybe he comes with another baby Dinobot? Or with human element?

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).
