Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

^Is this a toy swap or a factory error?

Thought the same thing?

I assumed it was a packaging mock-up.

Story I saw was that the person ordered Crosscut from Hasbro Pulse. It came in this packaging so a factory/packaging error

Hasbro revealed to various fan sites such as TFW2005 that some Hasbro brands will return to window and blister packaging late 2023. No mention of impact on TF toylines.

Someone has gotten their hands on an early sample of what looks like an IDW Miner Megatron. Looks nice for IDW collectors.

Oh nuts. I wasn't really impressed by, and therefore wasn't really interested in, the first set of pics from last week. Looked a bit crap, really.

Now though, with a more finished product...

Maybe I should just try to hold out for a co-captain Megatron for an IDW version...

So, Miner Megatron is in a two-pack with Senator Ratbat (re-tooled from Scourge), and these are the first box of this year's Amazon capsule (last year's was the Wreckers).

So far for this capsule we have:

1 deluxe (currently unknown)
1 voyager (Nacelle)
2 pack of voyagers (Miner Megatron and Senator Ratbat)
2 pack (price point and identities currently unknown, but the art on the previous 2 pack is suggestive...)
1 leader (currently unknown)

I like, but it's a bit of shame there doesn't seem to be any plan to finish the Wreckers (Whirl and Roadbuster would have been nice, and Diaclone Topspin seemed obvious).

I really hope not. It’s so nice and easy to just rip it all open without all the plastic crap.
