Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

[Other]

Amazon added a huge stack of preorders presumable meant to be added during/after Pulsecon, I'll stick the Transformers one in here for now because they aren't official reveals, there's no pictures anyway and it's still missing at least one Deluxe and Voyager for the full wave. Note that item names on the pages won't always match the ones I list because I'm taking the name from what shows up on the preorder confirmation screen or the tab name

Nice!
Looks like I'll be grabbing Tigerhawk and BW2 Tasmania Kid.

According to Jtprime17 on TFW2005, the links that are missing are deluxe Windblade and voyager Thundertron.

Really keen to see that Tigerhawk, finally.

It's been kicking around various leaks/rumour threads for a while now, and I suspect it just missed being done last year to go alongside TM2 Megatron. I know that the Hasbro design team have stated that there was a late decision made not to go in a full TransMetal/Fuzor direction with the line, after teasing it in a few early figures. I expect the design has been hanging around since then.

Looks like the first wave of 2024 Studio Series toys will occur at the end of October, and one of them could be this new Voyager Junkion Scrapheap...

Here we go again.

It seems a discount chain in the US has/had some Velocitron figures in stock, including the impossible-to-find Cosmos. No idea how many they are and some people in the comments seem very sceptical.

Leaked retailer solicitations for MP Rhinox and Legacy United Silverbolt.

It will be nice to finally have a Silverbolt with articulated wings. Only took them a couple of decades.

Possible leaked image (from Reddit) of:

Shockwave/Megatron/Soundwave 3-pack (Siege Shockwave minus accessories, Earthrise Megatron, Netflix Soundwave/Laserbeak in G1 colours; plus Studio Series 86 Coronation Starscream's throne).

Ghost Starscream/Waspinator 2-pack (translucent SS86 Coronation Starscream minus accessories).

It's good to see that Hasbro is letting TakaraTomy do a lot of their own redecos again, as we are seeing quite a few Generations toys with altered decos this year, and all of the Earthspark toys as well.
It might have been good for my wallet to not be tempted by two different decos in the last 4 years, but I really missed being able to have that option of selecting a better looking deco if the Hasbro one sucked.


I like the idea of a BW Starscream/Waspinator 2-pack, but they already have Waspinator coming out in the 3rd Verses pack with Cheetor, and the only difference this one is likely to have is a Decepticon symbol on it.
I think most fans might only get the 2-pack for the translucent Starscream, and offload Waspinator.

One of the few lines I still collect at the moment the MP's, it's also pretty much my favourite line the BW figures 😍

It looks like we are getting toys for the upcoming Transformers Reactivate game from Splash Damage.

For those who don't remember this incredibly forgettable game. Here's the trailer.
