There is a rumored Laser Optimus Prime so it's equally likely he could use that mold too.

I don't disagree, but to play Devil's advocate, there does remain the possibility that, between Blurr's story and a later one, SG Magnus could be involved in some kind of incident that sees his Siege/Kingdom body damaged and rebuilt into his Laser one, just in time for his toy release.william-james88 wrote:Decepticon Stryker wrote:sol magnus wrote:Magnus is definitely going to be a Siege/Kingdom repaint (as he appears in issue#1).

They are not equally likely.
Shaterred Glass magnus with his Siege body already appeared in the Shaterred glass comic made to accompany these new toys.
So the odds skew in one's favour.

Plus, looking just at the logistics of everything, using a mold they are currently done with is a hell of a lot easier than one they still need to use for the main intended release that already has a second use planned.
Not to mention that mold's Hasbro-pretooled skull head that had yet to be used for anything at the time.sol magnus wrote:The reason SG Ultra Magnus was a repaint of Laser Optimus back then is because that's what the then recent Optimus was.

They'll make the Laser OP mold backwards-compatible with the Magnus Armor. Everyone wins!

I know you're joking, but if that actually happened...it would have many eating their hats

One of the credible leakers (the one that first leaked the line this thread is about, actually) said there's a rumored 4 pack for next year of Goldbug, Ransack (which Ransack was unspecified, people are assuming G1 Ransack from Kickback's mold), Toy Colors Scorponok, and a white Waspinator repaint (presumably the Botcon Waruder repaint), but it doesn't have a listing that's been found yet and they have no idea how/where it's releasing. I posted about it on the Legacy thread on the 25th, as I'm assuming it'd be a Legacy release unless the Buzzworthy line keeps going or something.Moonshot wrote:Has anyone seen/heard anything of an upcoming Goldbug?

I just got the same email, I thought Goldbug wasshipping after Megs and Screamer? Did he skip the line?

He didn't, in fact some Japanese fans have him in. More than likely it's shipping being affected all over the world, and they're taking longer than expected to work off the backlog of stranded container ships.
