Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

[Tranceblade]

Pipes has a proper Kingdom listing.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Hasbro-Tra.../dp/B08P3T7FC8
"Ranger Puffer" is priced like it's a two pack which might be interesting to see if they do an alternate Huffer deco.

Most interesting is the Sideswipe and Nightprowler set, of which Nightprowler is an unreleased Cheetor deco. Sideswipe could also be the rumoured Earth mode. Though it doesn't say, I'm expecting it to be a Golden Disk style Amazon Exclusive.

Okay, now I believe the leaks about Slammer & Tracks

[DELTAprime]

How much you want to bet Project Bat is a GI Joe Transformer, not Batman?

Also I bet that Unicron Galvatron is a limited edition version of Leader Galvatron with Galvatron's ship and other accessories for Unicron's little clear display stand.

The list compiled on tfw at this time and the others that I could see on the Amazon page...


F0697 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Voyager Starscream Action Figure - $48

F0632 Tra Gen Project Park - $92 (Collaborative Jurassic Park Rexy)

F0792 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series Voy 86 Wreck Gar Action Figure - $48 - August

F1207 Hasbro Transformers Generations Prime Optimus Prime Action Figure - $92

F1815 Hasbro Transformers Generations Selects Voyager Artfire Action Figure - $48

F0485 Hasbro Transformers Project Bat Action Figure - $92 (collaborative figure)
"An oversized man bat with giant cloth wings - Perfect for batman storytelling"

F2704 Hasbro Transformers Deluxe Gold Bug Action Figure - $39

F3003 Hasbro Transformers Commander Jetfire Action Figure - $160

F0793 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series Voy 86 Sweep Action Figure - $48

F1809 Hasbro Transformers Takara Tomy Generations Selects Leader Gavaltron Action Figure - $92
(this was noted the other day, but included again to show it is different to the next item... even though they both have the same wrong spelling for Galvatron)

F1618 Hasbro Transformers Gavaltron Unicron Action Figure Pack - $110
(note that it says "pack" which suggests a multi-pack... or something included with Galvatron, who I think is supposed to be Leader sized, which would be just under $100 on its own)

F1208 Hasbro Transformers Generations Sideswipe and Nightprowler Action Figure - $77
(claimed to be a Deluxe 2-pack of redecos of Sideswipe and Cheetor)

F2820 - Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Golden Deluxe Ranger Puffer Action Figur - $77.23

F2882 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Golden Deluxe Jackpot Action Figur - $58
(said to be Golden Disk, not Golden like the Lagoon toys - price is too high for a Deluxe, so could be wrong (see next item) - the last Jackpot toy was a redeco of a Jazz toy)

F2813 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Golden Deluxe Terrorsaur Action Figur

F2817 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Golden Voy Tigatron Action Figur - $39
(price is too low, so could be wrong - could be mixed up with a Deluxe listing)

F2705 Hasbro Transformers Generations Deluxe: Blurr Action Figure - $39
(GEN Selects I think)

F2912 Hasbro Transformers Generations Voyager Megatron Action Figure - $59
(GEN Selects I think)

F0715 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series LDR 86 Slag N Dani Action Figure
(Slag & Daniel in a Leader class box?)

F0716 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series LDR TF2 Grindr Rav Action Figure - $87
(sounds like a Blackout "redeco" with Ravage instead of Scorponok)

F0791 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series Voy 86 King Starsc Action Figure - $49
(probably the Earthrise Starscream with coronation gear)

F0788 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series Deluxe Tf3 Jolt Action Figure - $35

F0786 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series Deluxe 86 Gnaw Action Figure - $35

F0787 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series Deluxe Tf2 Bumblebee with Sam Action Figure - $35
(should be SS-74)

F0789 Hasbro Transformers Generations Studio Series Deluxe Tf3 Sideswipe Action Figure - $35
(we already have a Sideswipe toy, which is probably why the product description refers to SS-29... so maybe this one is meant to be for TF2, which was not a convertible)

F0681 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Deluxe Shadow Panther Action Figur - $35

F0682 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Deluxe Pipes Action Figur - $35

F0683 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Deluxe Slammer Action Figur - $35

F1153 TRA GEN WFC K Commander Class
(should be Rodimus)
The product description - "This copy is intended as placeholder text only and is not representative of individual items in the line."

F1152 Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: K Titan Class Ark (2021) Action Figur


This happened once before, with the Last Knight movie I think... with someone at Amazon Australia listing up a lot of future toys before they should have, possibly given the details for them to add them as soon as the April 9th reveal by Hasbro. Maybe...

(there are 8 Kingdom Deluxes listed... so maybe there are 4 waves for Kingdom - I think we will find out on the 9th)

[Paulbot]

The Goldbug would be another SG toy, like the Blurr, Megatron and Jettifre... I am totally cool with SG toys being some of the exclusives because it saves me money

[JJJ]

The Goldbug would be another SG toy

What in particular makes you think so?

[griffin]

It was on one of the leaked listings a few months back, claiming that there were several Shattered Glass toys coming this year, and so far most of those names have shown up in product listings.

[griffin]

I think Hasbro may have jumped on Amazon Australia to fix the problem, as the items I posted up links to last night aren't showing up on the main Transformers page anymore... but the individual product pages are still there.
It was stealing a fair bit of the thunder of Hasbro America, by revealing some info before the official reveal tomorrow.

The only two items that are showing up today on the main Transformers page sound like Rescue Bots toys...

F0849 TRA RBA Jumbo Jet Wing Racer - $70
(that is probably that weird Optimus that turns into a jumbo jet with giant wings that can hold Rescue Bots cars)

F2731 Hasbro Transformers Bumblebee Roll and Convert Optimus Prime Action Figure - $87


If hasbro are really going to be revealing all or most of those earlier items tomorrow, it is going to be a big few days as we digest all of the new stuff.

[griffin]

The list compiled on tfw at this time and the others that I could see on the Amazon page...

(snip)


F1208 Hasbro Transformers Generations Sideswipe and Nightprowler Action Figure - $77
(claimed to be a Deluxe 2-pack of redecos of Sideswipe and Cheetor)

Another listing on the Amazon Australia pre-order page for domestically-held Transformers (toys sold and shipped by Amazon AU) is for another one of these Gen1 plus BW 2-packs... this time for "F1209 Mirage and Grimlock".
It is one of the listings that wont show the actual product page when you click on it, but someone on TFW has found a mirrored listing on another Amazon country page, which gives us the actual contents, letting us know that Grimlock should be a redeco of Voyager Dinobot.
The odd thing is that it is priced the same as the Sideswipe/Nightprowler, which looks to be two Deluxe toys... so maybe the price for Mirage/Grimlock is wrong.

• Battle across time: with the Battle Across Time Collection, fans can recreate the duel between G1 and Beast Wars and form teams from Maximals and Autobots. Grimlock and Mirage join together to repel the Decepticons/Predacons
• Inspired by G1 and Beast Wars: the G1-inspired Autobot Mirage figure can be transformed from robot into a racing car in 20 steps and the Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock figure into a raptor in 28 steps
• Great accessories: comes with 2 blasters. The tail of the Maximal Grimlock figure can be removed in Raptor mode and turned into 2 swords
• EXCLUSIVE PACKAGING: Each Battle Across Time Set has an exclusive design so that impressive battle scenes can be recreated (each sold separately, subject to availability)

[griffin]

Another Collaborative Crossover found?
Apparently someone on TFW found it on the Walmart computers... a "Transformers: Project Jam" listing, at a price of us$70 (the XMen crossover was us$65 and Commander Class pricing is rrp of us$80... so somewhere between those).

I think it would have to be something that was cancelled, or significantly delayed, as the product number is really old for something thatdoesn't appear to have been released yet.
It is E8546, which should have seen it being released September-October 2020, as it follows the product code of two other Project toys...

E8544 - Maverick (Project Cruise) - out September 2020.
E8545 - Gigawatt (Project Future) - out October 2020.

If it is still coming, any guesses as to what "Jam" could be related to, remembering that each Project name is related to the alt-mode of the toy.


Meanwhile, someone else has come across another Transformers product with a codename (the US state name of Alabama), but it isn't a new product.

Hasbro are needing to use codenames for their release of TakaraTomy "exclusive" toys, to prevent/limit leaks before TakaraTomy officially reveal the name or product first, because it is their product, and most of the leaks are of Hasbro products by people finding them early on supplier listings or store computers.

Products and release schedules by Hasbro are planned a year or two in advance for their customers (retailers)... way before TakaraTomy are ready to reveal their "non-Hasbro" items... so with all of the leaks we've been seeing lately on the (Hasbro) US Transformers side, the only way to be sure that TakaraTomy Transformers don't get leaked before they get to reveal the items themselves officially, is to have Hasbro use codenames with the product numbers, and very few people (even within Hasbro) know the true identities of the toys until they are officially revealed.

Currently, the codenames include US states, cities and candy.
(the "Project" figures have codenames as well, but those are Hasbro toys and the codenames are actually related to each toy)

These are some examples that should be safe to mention (so that I don't get into any trouble), as they have already been released or are on the Hasbro Pulse website...
Georgia - F0473 - TT-GS05 Abominus
North Dakota - F2269 - TT-GS11 Volcanicus
Alabama - F4537 - TT-GS12 Soundblaster (their version of the Netflix toy)
-
Hershey - F0472 - MP53 Autobot Skids
Starburst - F0475 - MP52 Starscream

Notice a pattern with the codenames?
Locations are for the JP GEN Selects toys, candy are for JP MP toys.

(I'm not going to risk listing any others before they are known, so don't ask ... this is just an fyi, for those wondering what the codenames are for, and don't obsess too much about them).
