Walmart Exclusive Velocitron Line Discussion
Posted: Fri Sep 10, 2021 12:42 pm
So about 2 weeks ago, following all of those leaked listings, credible leaker Catz posted a thread on TFW, here (although it's almost 100 pages long at this point, so I will summarize anyway): https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/ ... o.1219231/
In this, they say that Beast Wars reissues and the Shattered Glass line are to continue, they've heard nothing regarding more G1 reissues, and most interestingly, there's going to be a new Walmart-exclusive line/subline to fill the void left by the Netflix releases. Through this, along with cryptic hints, clues, and confirmations from JTPrime/Notomus/CactusReporter, the users there seem to have deduced that his line is going to be based on Velocitron, but basically in the same way that the Chaos on Velocitron set was, in that it's mostly just a bunch of random bots collected for a race and not only UT/Cybertron characters.
From there, the following hints/info was given/deduced:
-It's an 8 figure wave with the same breakdown as the first 2 Netflix waves, although the leakers are unaware of the price points for the Voyagers and Leader (so unsure if they come with additional smaller figures like Cores or Battlemasters as the Netflix ones did)
-At least one of the figures is a new mold that will at least start out exclusive to this line (kinda like Origin Bee)
-All of the figures have wheels except one
-The line is going to have 2 G1 characters, 2 Diaclones, 1 G2/Robotmasters character, 1 RiD character, and 2 UT characters
-No Seekers
-A bunch of the figures are repaints "you would have expected them to do already"
With those clues in mind and some further hinting, the users there have come to the conclusion that this is the line-up (although the leakers have only explicitly confirmed the bolded entries on this list to be 100% accurate guesses, the rest have merely been implied to be right)
Deluxe: Burn-Out (from Legacy Skids, obviously), Clampdown (uncertain if Siege or Kingdom Lambo), Road Rocket (new mold? If not, suspected as a Legacy Prime Arcee retool), Cosmos (new mold? If not, suspected as an Origin Bee retool), & Armada Blurr (assumed to be a Legacy Pointblank retool)
Voyager: Hauler, Override (as an SS86 Hot Rod retool)
Leader: RiD Scourge (from Legacy Laser Prime, obviously)
Now obviously none of this is 100% confirmed to be happening until listings show up, but considering how many of the credible leakers were talking about it, I figured it was worth sharing with y'all (and I made this thread rather than use the Legacy rumors one since this is so far stated to be a separate line as Netflix was).
Thoughts?
