Is it just me, or is this a record? Do we normally know the entire lineup by March?

Better the devil we know we will be getting (OpMax) then something we have no idea is even on their drawing boards (Abominus).

I thought we had realized that back with the last batch of computer listings. I have just taken it all as fact from then. While we know the line up, we still dont have official pics which will wait for SDCC or Botcon. We still have Leader Starscream to reveal as well as the 4 autobots, galvatronus (the torso), Optimus Maximus and all those G1 reissues, this year's Hasbro MPs and G2 Devastator. It sounds like the same amount of stuff that they revealed at those shows last year. And then we'll have whats coming out next year (computron and hopefully Bruticus). I think its about the same in terms of official reveals.

True, but I like my grains of salt, keeping changes, possible errors and even red herrings in mind

Well, you're out of luck for next year then because we've seen or heard of everything there is.
Bruticus will just be a mix up of this years figures with slight tweaks and Computron will be the same too. I'll have to amend what I said previously that if we buy everything through Wave 3 we'll have the entire two years worth already. Make that wave 4 instead. Put big guns on the back of Hot Spot and you have Onslaught, etc, etc... same old lazy Hasbro antics.
I don't know why the pic of Sunstreaker and half of Mirage is even a big deal. It shows us exactly squat.

Whereas this figure, while likely being a much better figure than Universe in almost every regard, is but a non-Ironhide body with Ironhide's head slapped onto it.Samsonator wrote:Still a better Ironhide than Universe.
It's definitely gonna be a better toy that Universe Ironhide, but aside from the head, it's just not as Ironhide-y as Universe Ironhide.
If he didn't have so many gaps in his panneling, I'd love him. But he looks like a broken plate to me. As it is, I liked the Arms Micron Ironhide, except for size. So maybe this version of Ironhide can draw on the Arms Micron/Prime Ironhide asthetic while giving him the bulk needed to be Ironhide, and not some really tiny truck

We've seen all there is for this year, nothing beyond yet. That is to say, that image is the final nail in the coffin for other possible teams for this year, hence all the excitement. All we need is a mold ID for Prowl and we're all set.
That does not mean we'll get nothing new in the (possible) 2nd year. We still have pretools unaccounted like Firefly's (Slingshot doesn't count), Blades' (I'm only counting those with body changes as well), Rook's, and Hot Spot's, plus a new year means new molds (budgets are planned per year, not per line).
The rumored Computron and Bruticus, in addition to Slingshot, Wildrider and other rumored figures may still happen, just not this year.

Nothing is for sure, but there have been a good amount of clues that point to "yes". (fingers crossed)SFXPrime wrote:I would be all over the Mirage/Dragstrip repaint and White Optimus. Are these for sure coming out or is this just promotional artwork?
Posted by munkimus prime on March 6th, 2015 @ 5:22pm CST
Optimus Maximus looks cool and I don't care if the limbs are all repaints of Previous figures. Saves all the new moulds for the other Combiners later on.

I don't exactly recall where, but there was a bit of news a while back not specifically about Bruticus or Computron, it said Onslaught(Hotspot retool) and Scattorshot(Silverbolt retool). But where theres two new CW torso's theres likely team mates to follow

If getting multiple characters from the same base molds is lazy, then toymakers have been lazy for as long as there have been toys.

Hot wheels for example. Repaints upon repaints, and variations. Maybe similar.
But I do agree, I like them to be quality, or well thought out re-uses. These seem to be.

Rated X wrote:I dont really want to get into why I hate the MP line here. Everybody knows I hate the MP line because they upsized them to the same scale as barbie dolls. I also have little interest in season one characters and prefer the post 1986 movie cartoon characters. Either way CHUG is pretty much an alternate version of G1. Some characters get heavily updated alt modes to keep up with the time. But some hardly change, most notably with the bluestreak, starscream, and cyclonus CHUG molds.
Wait, that's why you hate MP? Because they're "Barbie scale"? The engineering going into MPs pretty much necessitates that size. There's a reason Faith Leader was so fragile.
Also, Barbies are approximately 1/6 scale, or around 12 inches tall. MP10, commonly used as a reference point for the MP line, is a little more than 10. And that's not considering the fact that it's representing a 2 story tall robot versus a average height human woman.

Maybe it's a powered up version of Optimus, like those Powerlinx redecos from Armada.RiddlerJ wrote:I don't understand the white Optimus repaint. It's not meant to be Ultra Magnus, and we already have the regular Prime to go with the four Autobot limbs which will be in their usual colors. I can see reusing the mold but it seems a shame to not use it for a different character as opposed to another Prime.

Even found Megatron and Armada Megatron but left them because the packaging was damaged badly... (Probably on purpose.. As it was slashed like someone used a knife...)
Port stuff seems to be resolved from reading online, and shelves are starting to get full again. (Just in time for all the movies coming out..)
I am wondering if this is going to hurt this line a lot because of how far retailers are behind on these waves. In the end these guys I could see on the clearance shelves because everyone couldn't wait for them to appear in stores...
Not sure if anyone else has asked Hasbro Toy Store before when they re-stock or asking for dates, but I did... I got a bit of a run around answer. (Which I find incorrect as I have gotten dates before and soon after receiving an item they restocked everything..)
We apologize but we don’t have ETA dates on our out of stock items. We also don't have a waiting list. As long as the item is listed on our website as out of stock, we still plan on getting more stock in. If you can no longer pull up the item on our site, it may be discontinued. Please check our website as often as you can to check for stock to appear.
Stock can replenish at any time of the day and sporadically throughout the month. To verify if an item is discontinued, please call Customer Care.
