Animated being rebranded in 2010?

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

What I've heard/read already:

Hasbro has an Arcee prototype (Deluxe) at least.

Electrostatic Soundwave flagged as a Deluxe recolour/slight remold with Ratbat.

"Golfire Grimlock" as Voyager recolour.

Hydrodrive Bumblebee as new mold Voyager.

Blackout planned as a Voyager.

Activators Soundwave (haven't seen this one personally - links/pics?).

There's a Cybertron Ratchet prototype somewhere out there.

Wingblade Prime (again haven't seen it but have heard of it a few times from a few sources) as Voyager. Leader class makes more sense IMO especially in light of the Magnus Hammer and the Leader class full-o'-gimmicks philosophy, but then Hasbro and I don't always agree on toys or else we'd have Wreck-Gars and Shockwaves a-plenty over here...

So taking into account Hasbros repaint love we'll likely see an Ironhide retool from the Cybertron-mode Ratchet(s), and probably a Wasp from at least one of the existing Bumblebee molds.
Also IIRC Classics/Universe were rumored to be doing a Wheeljack (& Rhinox yay!) sometime comparatively soon, meaning probably no Wheeljack from Animated.

What I want personally is Arcee, Team Chaar, and Team Rodimus, especially Red Alert, Strika and Cyclonus and all of the extras on Cybertron, and Omega Supreme, and Lugnut Supreme, and...

Some of you guys have most of them right, but I won't say who

To put some of you out of your misery I will say this though: Sonic Blast Soundwave is classed as a remould due to its new accessory (Ratbat/Wingthing) & Arcee is more than just a prototype, just take a moment to think about 1986 and what year comes after 2009 I've said too much.

Its fun watching all the guessing...

Uhhh.. 24th anniversary of TFTM?

Lessee - 2009 + 1 = 2010?

[i_amtrunks]

Lessee - 2009 + 1 = 2010?

That was my thinking, so we already have Arcee, Blurr, Wreckgar and Ultra Magnus, could that mean a reference to Rodimus, Cyclonus perhaps Springer and Scourge?

[jaydisc]

Ah. I see. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

[popculturepooka]

I've already decided to myself.

Until I hear what happens with TFA Arcee and the rest of the toyline, I'm going to not buy any ROTF toys.


Except possibly ROTF Arcee, with whom I have evil plans.

Excellent to know more TFA figures will be coming, I'll take any I can get but I'm really hoping for Female starscream! <3

Tho I wonder if we'll hear more about this from botcon...

I don't quite get it. Transformers 2010 is a Takara thing not a Hasbro one.
