Predictions beast wars fuzor dogmink exclusive.

Maybe netflix voyagers wave 2, some studio series and one more cross over. Probably some more battlemaster repaints set as they haven't really milked them yet and it's a good time for more with the other modulators getting released.

I hope it's the same people who did the last one, they were very entertaining.

I'm not expecting anything we don't have any foreknowledge of at this point, but hopefully they properly announce more of the leaked Earthrise stuff like the Coneheads. I don't think they'll confirm the Studio Series '86 line yet, though, seems too early.

I hope the Deluxe Bumblebee, Elita-1, and Ironhide and Prowl twin pack we know of through store listings and the Soundwave from those photo leaks are officially revealed here. They're the main things past wave 3 of Earthrise I'm interested in seeing. I'm not expecting reveals of the 1986 Studio Series toys or the rumoured Beast Wars stuff just yet, the former we'll probably see at San Diego later this month, and the latter I'm guessing will be held bac until this year's NYCC.

I'm going to guess Bumblebee will be one of the reveals.

News Credits: 48 · by **Nemesis Primal** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:22 pm

Considering that last time we got Tigertrack and the weapon pack, which never got leaked and no one saw coming, I'm only going to predict that we're going to see more Amazon stuff and hopefully Exhaust and Greasepit, because there's really no point in trying to hide those two at this point, and I'm going to hope that none of the Hasbro reveals overlap with the Walmart reveals, because that would suck if it was two separate presentations that just announced half the same stuff or something. I'm lookin to be surprised after last time, Hasbro, don't mess it up.

Given that we have already seen the 86 studio series toys in walmarts databas, I kinda do expect to see them. and probably as wally exclusives too :SICK:

given that walmart's collectors con is the same day. Even if not, expect walmart exclusives to be shown.

I do agree with the sentiment that it is too early for the beastwars figs, if real. Usually sdcc is the time hasbro shows the first hints of next years line, and despite the claimes they are on schedule, I cant see next years line being ready to show just yet. that being said, when is the online sdcc anyway? I have paid zero attention to it lol.

as for personal hopes/wants, I really want to see the rumored new Rodimus and a new Galvatron to go with him. The TR and PoP figures respectively were great figures, dont get me wrong, but both had issues that dragged them down horribly. New versions on par with the current generations/ss lines would be awesomesauce.

Walmart accidentally slipped the release dates for most of their Hasbro exclusives they’re going to launch this Friday for their “Walmart Con” event. I’m sure Hasbro will probably mention them during the livestream as well.

We’re definitely seeing these 5 this week.

Release/Ship date: October 15th
Netflix Deluxe wave 2:

Imapctor
Wheeljack
Red Alert
Bumblebee
Elita-1

The last two there are where my interests lie

News Credits: 56 · by **o.supreme** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:38 pm

Does this tie into the Walmart releases also this friday (which is bound to be a fiasco), or are they 2 totally separate announcements/reveals?

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 4:04 pm

should be mostly seperate as not all the fan first showings will be walmart only exclusives. Maybe a bit of overlap for some of the stuff. I get the feeling watching it is going to set me back more money than the last one did.

Maybe the studio series devastator box set will be shown, 30 mins isnt much screen time per reveal so I'm expecting it to be more wave announcements than one offs.

With the Fan Friday and Walmart things taking place on the same day, I'm kinda hoping these are Walmart's reveals while Fan Friday will show other stuff.

Bumblebee and Wheeljack are a weird case though - they're for the Siege show which is set on Cybertron, but they're both presumably ER molds with earth modes. Granted, quite a few of the siege alt modes could pass as earth modes anyway, but I wonder if they'll remold some parts to make them more Cybertronian. Considering the line has just been repaints so far though, I'm sure they'll be repaints as well.

Interested to see what Bumblebee looks like!

Everyone's hyped for Bumblebee and Elita-1, but am I the only one that wants to see Wheeljack? I'm kinda curious to see if the ER earth-mode molds get the same heavy battle damage as the Siege ones or if they try going for alternate decos, like a more G1 toy-accurate stripe pattern for Wheeljack. Though it'll probably just be more battle damage. (hey, I can dream.)

Greasepit, Exhaust, and Hubcap for sure will be part of this. Hoping for a mix of Earthrise and Studio Series in this batch, and some surprises too.

I'm mostly hoping for pictures of the guys we know are out there but have seen little to no pictures of.

I hope this is better than the U.S Fans First Friday they did last time but I'm not holding my breath

Greetings Seibertronians! Looking forward to tomorrow's Fan's First Friday? Well Comicbook.com just revealed the first item we'll see tomorrow! This news was passed along to us by fellow Seibertron users, LinaNui and CyclonusG1.

What was revealed?

The Pit of Judgment straight out of the 1986 Transformers animated movie!

The set comes with five figures:

Quintesson Judge
Quintesson Prosecutor
Sharkticon
Bailiff
Kranix

The Quintesson Judge has a new redeco then his regular Earthrise release, while the Bailiff seems to be sporting not just a new paint job but a brand new head over his Allicon brethren! Sharkticon is a reuse of the Titan's Returns Legends mold, which has also been redeco'ed. The Prosecutor and Kranix are not transformable but do feature articulation points. Kranix fits in both the Sharkticon's mouth and the Judge's cage.

Check out more images here:

The price has been revealed to be $69.99, and looks to be a Pulse exclusive.

Don't forget to check out all the reveals tomorrow.

What do you think about this? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for the latest news and reviews!

There's been no prices revealed yet.

The corresponding article on TFW2005 reports a price of $69.99. At that price for five figures (of various sizes), it's practical for a skilled customizer to consider giving them an improved paint job. (If Hasbro repackages existing figures as a set, and recolors them in the bargain, then a consistent color scheme across the ensemble would've been gratifying -- why is the Judge mauve? To contrast with the cardboard backdrop?)

Kinda wish Kranix was a retool of Rung or something but I get why he isn't.

Price is $69.99 and It’s also a bailiff not executioner. Executioner was the guy with mantis arms and if you’re referring to the dude with the xenomorph head that’s a prosecutor

Hey ZeroWolf, is Allison the name of an ex by chance? :lol:

This kinda fixes my predicament of me wanting more Sharkticons without resorting to scalper prices, because I can use this one as an alpha of the pack. And then I can use the Bailiff as an alpha of the Allicons. Sounds good to me! :-D

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Thu Jul 16, 2020 12:17 pm

Quintesson looks great, no doubt, but not much better than retail. The Bailiff looks better than the Alicon (AKA Blot's incredibly dumb little brother Plop) but not by much. Gnaw looks good to be fair. But making Kranix and the Prosecutor as barely poseable lumps...that sucks. I would have liked the Prosecutor to get a proper figure even if it didn't transform.

I still kinda want it.
