6 Voyager figures?!? I'm pretty sure we only know about 3 (OP, Predaking and Shockwave). So, does this mean we'll see 3 additional voyager figures and see what Shocky will look like?!? I really really hope so!

Does anybody know when Hasbro's main panel/presentation is (day/time)?

Saturday afternoon. We know of three for sure, Optimus, Predaking, & Shockwave. We have also seen what is believed to be an Ultra Magnus prototype. That would leave two unknown.

Thanks El Duque! Good call on the probable UM prototype voyager. I had forgotten about that. As for the 2 unknowns, I hope one is Hardshell! I'd also like to see a brand new character for the other voyager too.

It would be awesome if Grimlock and the other Dinobots appear in TFP Beast Hunters and all get voyager treatment, but I'm not holding my breath.

I appreciate the information and am looking forward to your and Seibertron's coverage of Toy Fair. I always enjoy being kept up to date on any new reveals from you guys!

If we are getting 6 unique Voyagers over this series, and its not talking 6 figures per case, my guess is that it will be Ultra Magnus as seen in the prototype. My next two best guesses is Megatron and Bulkhead, close behind them are Starscream and Hardshell.

As a side note does anyone else think it was odd that we had so few repaints in the Prime line? For the deluxe sizes and up I can only think of 4 repaint/minor remolds. PCC and Generations before it had a high percentage of repaints.

RiD didn't have that many figures to begin with, compared to other lines. Including repaints and retools, we have 14 in Deluxe, 8 in Voyager and 2 Weaponizers, a grand total of only 24 for a single year.

For comparison, Animated had 20 Deluxes, 11 Voyagers, 5 Leaders, 1 Supreme and 2 2-packs in a little less than 2 years. Dark of the Moon had 20 Deluxes, 8 Voyagers, 3 Leaders, an Ultimate and a couple more in more than a year.

Also take note neither line had a halfway sub-line imprint, which heralds repaints to a big degree.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

Construct-bots, huh? Fully customizable transformers? Interesting.

But I'll take a look at what Beast Hunters has to offer.

Handels-Messerschmitt wrote:Obviously there are two of each in the wave...


I'm sorry, but Wave One is Optimus and Predaking. Shockwave and Ultra Magnus are in future waves. You have "waves" confused with "assortments."

And, my guess on the "6 voyagers" is three Optimi and three Predakings. Unless they're talking about unique voyagers, in which my money is on Hardshell and Grimlock.

Balgorra wrote:My next two best guesses is Megatron and Bulkhead, close behind them are Starscream and Hardshell.


We already have a Deluxe Bulkhead and Starscream in Beast Hunters. They're not the "moneymakers" like Optimus and Bumblebee, so why would they make both Voyagers and Deluxes of "those other toys" in the same sub-line?

As a side note does anyone else think it was odd that we had so few repaints in the Prime line? For the deluxe sizes and up I can only think of 4 repaint/minor remolds.


No. We're not obligated to have 50,000 repaints/remolds, and I don't think anyone wants them either. The show uses unique models for their individual characters (aside from Dreadwing and Skyquake), and we have very few non-show characters in the toyline (five, six if you count Ultra Magnus who is likely to appear in the third season anyway). The toyline's sublines are also rather small compared to others anyway.

Also, the Prime line is not limited to the U.S, in which case we've had many repaints and remolds.

Is that Bumblebee a jet? Wait! Is that his Cybertronian mode from the first cartoon episode in 1984?

I would love 6 new voyager molds, but if there are going to be six then I would guess that the last two may be retools.

I agree with Prymestriker, they probably mean three boxes of Optimus and three boxes of Predaking shipped to a store.

a big no thank you to constructo bots..

i just wish they'd focus more on giving us better products in their main lines.

anyways.. the only thing that i really want to see is the larger scale predaking. from what we saw before, that thing looks incredible.

also.. i'd like to see some better dragons. i just picked up laserback and i'm totally disappointed.. it looks horrible. ripclaw (or whatever) looks like a step in the right direction. i just really hope that if we get anymore, they'll start looking more mean and less goofy.
