I'm very curious to see what this Cosmos looks like, to say the least!

After hearing this I’m totally on board for it. It could be like off-road bumblebee and B-127 where the altmode is flipped around but due to all the folding and where things go, I can see it.

At 1st I thought Cosmos would be a retool of Origins Bee, but now I think he'll be too small. I mean, he was a minibot, at least in the G1 comics and the G1 toy. Being Warpath's size makes more sense. But I'm very curious regarding the engineering. For the record, I have and love my Prime Wars Cosmos.

As do I but like most of the prime wars minibots they’ve gotten a little dated now especially in the articulation department. I don’t care if they’re a little bigger then standard minibot scale. Scale was tossed out with huffer and even cliffjumper really. Bee and cliff don’t go up to primes waist. If they wanna make minibots the same height as the cliff mold or huffer go ahead. It’s not like the cartoon really followed that scale guid and as long as their fun figures do it especially since there’s only 3 minibots left in 84 and they all can be retooled into the rest of the 86 minibots. 6 mainline characters can be done with more in selects.

He's supposedly going to be in Wave 3 with Dead End, Crankcase, and an "Energon Monster" which many have speculated will be a repaint of one of the Kingdom Fossilizers. The popular speculation right now is that Velocitron Blurr is going to be a repaint of this new Pointblank as Armada Blurr, because the two share a few similarities (namely the shoulder pads and the front half of the vehicle mode being vaguely similar).

Thanks for the info Bud! Appreciate it.

Pictures are floating around of Black Convoy and Override that may or may not be digibashes. They have the Legacy background, though.

I know some digibashers have done Black Convoy edits that have the Legacy background, but Override? I'm curious to see these now...

Which Black Convoy? The obvious Laser Prime repaint?

Yes. The same.

Where are these images

Well, regardless of these other images that we never saw, evidently PrimevsPrime posted on TFW to say that we'll be seeing Velocitron this coming week. Whether that means we'll be seeing it from Hasbro, from PvP, or both considering Wreckers Bulkhead remains to be seen.

Oh, right. They were digibashes of Black Convoy and whoever is getting the Arcee retool. I said Override, an oversight as she's / he's supposed to be a Hot Rod retool. I saw them on Facebook.

As a French speaker, I always think that this line is all about a lemon themed bicycle.

Velo --> vélo --> bicycle
Citron --> lemon

Arcee retool? Do you mean Elita-1? Her retool (or pre-tool depending on who you ask) is Minerva the Walgreens exclusive.

No, it wasn't Elita-1. It also wasm't Flamewar (even though it was red), and Elita isn't even in Velocitron.

Just so we're clear, when you say Arcee, do you mean G1 Arcee or Prime Arcee?

G2 Road Rocket is being retooled from Legacy Arcee

Thanks, having reminded myself of who road rocket was, I can totally see it.

Heh, in the French dub of Cyberverse, the planet was even called "Vélocitron".

The pun was easy but the word is also very close to velocity (vélocité in French) and I can guess that's the true meaning of that planet's name.

Indeed. "Velocity" is the root word, like how "Speed" is for the Japanese name "Speedia".

More specifics from PvP comments:
-PvP only has Scourge/Black Convoy, Hauler, & Override currently
-Hauler has a new screaming/angry head sculpt with the Grapple helmet (used a pic of MP Grapple's angry face for reference)
-PvP is convinced that Override is actually a new mold and sees zero shared parts with SS86 Hot Rod despite what was rumored, says the only weapon/accessory she came with is a detachable alt mode back/gun like the original figure, skews towards show proportions
-Review (seemingly for Override based on context but not explicitly stated) planned for Wednesday, will upload images before then

That Override info got me excited for the figure again. Maybe there's hope for her yet!

'Twould make the most sense for him to review Override first and Black Convoy last, building up to the biggest one in order of size.

Same, it gives me hope

Just saw a look at the new Override in vehicle mode and I too am beginning to doubt that it's a retool of SS86 Hot Rod and not just a new mold of its own. It is super-accurate to her Cybertron toy's vehicle mode design. A bit shorter and stubbier, though. And could use a bit more paint.
