On of the highlights from last weekend's Toy Fair was the announcement that Hasbro would be releasing Springer and Blitzwing in this year's Generation line as true triple changers in Voyager scale. Now it appears that Sandstorm may be joining their ranks. Using Hasbro's Live Customer Chat we've found entries for Springer, Blitzwing, and Sandstorm. The product codes for Springer and Blitzwing do match up based on the official images we received earlier. Highbrow and Banzitron also appear, but their product codes match their previously released Hunt for the Decepticon figures.

Additionally we may have already got our first glimpse of one of his alt modes. If you looked over our images of Metroplex's packaging you may have noticed a few extra Autobots, one of which is a orange VTOL type aircraft. Check out the bottom right corner of the image below. There's also a blue character standing on Metroplex's right shoulder and a green character on his left arm that appear to based on the new Generations Trailcutter mold. Skids and Hoist perhaps?

isnt it a bit of alie to say 'Biggest Autobot EVER' when we all know that title goes to fortress maximus?

Fort Max is 22 inches tall. The new Metroplex is 24 inches tall, so he is the biggest transformer ever.

Good to know we may be getting more classic G1 triple-changers. Astrotrain perhaps?

Edit:

Nevermind; Manterax Prime beat me to it!

This is cool. Not the biggest fan of sandstorm though. Also, I don't think that looks to much like skids.

Does this mean hes gona make unicron look like a dwarf??? metroplex i mean. Are there any comparisson pics?

I looked at that image and this immediately came to mind:


Still I can't wait for a proper Sandstorm.

Finally we'll have all 6 of the Triplechangers!

My wallet's...lifeforce...is running...out.
