Fellow Seibertronian Immortal Starscream has shared with us a link to an announcement from Hasbro that the next Pulse Con will be held October 22-23 2021. All brands will be present, including Transformers, of course. This being well into the 4th quarter means that he reveals should all focus on the upcoming 2022 toys. We know most of the ones we are getting in the generations line but it will be fun to actually see them. This will definitely be too late for the Kingdom wave 4 reveal so we don't know how Hasbro will share that with us between now and then. Of course, this is all just speculation and we could be wrong. It happened on the last fan first Friday where the Transformers reveals were just 3 SS86 toys.

Just looking at last year I doubt there'll be anything too amazing. Last year the big toy reveals were Kingdom Wave one, the Amazon Autobot Clones set, the Transformers Prime reissues and Maverick. I suspect this year it'll be what's left of Kingdom and any exclusives since Kingdom is pushing Legacy back to around late first quarter, probably that Dracula Collaboration figure, and a preview of their new animated projects. I doubt Legacy will be shown and there's no telling if they'll show Studio Series stuff. I expect this to be mostly about them wrapping up stuff.

With Renegade Con being less than a week away, I am wondering if Hasbro will follow up with any tie-in projects. More specifically any dice and/or miniatures for Renegade Games' official Power Rangers, G.I. Joe, and Transformers role-playing games.

As for the announcements themselves... I am thinking the following could happen:

1) HasLab will talk about their projects.

2) They will give an update on the Legacy series, which I currently believe will follow the way they are handling their G.I. Joe: Classified series, with a few tidbits that should include a release date.

3) The will also give updates tied to the Studio Series, Studio Series 86, and Kingdom lines. Hopefully with a few much needed surprises for the Studio Series crowd.

[Edit: Personally speaking, I am only hoping to hear that the Walgreen's Minerva rumor is true. Out of everything I want to hear, that is on the top of my list.]
