Runabout and Runamuck. Now, THAT would be messed up!

Hmmmmm, I think we should all remember this thread a year from now and then either praise him - OR BAN HIM!

Regarding the list - man, who knows?! Other than the specific names, it's all speculation. Any guess is as good as the next.

It's our decision to leave this thread open because of the potential for discussion, but if all people are going to do is criticise and be negative, then that's what is going to get it locked.

Yeah, the source hasn't been verified but both Mkall and myself have had things explained to us and we're happy with that. The thread will stay open as long as things are kept civil and on track.

Done on the locked thread ... might go and copy it over...

Why wait for next year? I suspect we'll be getting at lease a partial list at Botcon in just a couple months

I'll take a stab at some ideas too.

I think with 2012's Generations line being ALL FOC that we might be looking at some additional FOC figures leaking into this huge 40+ Hasbro is teasing us with. Also with the US not getting the actual full Movie Trilogy line we might be seeing some Movie stuff in there as well. Finally I still think we might be getting some early 30th Anniversary figures near the end of 2013.

TF DLX OPTIMU - Either another repaint of the Classics DLX mold or possible Movie trilogy Prime
TF DLX SKYWAR - FOC/WFC Skywarp? Wasn't there a prototype of a Starscream WFC toy?
TF DLX JUNKIO - Easily a repaint, maybe new head.
TF DLX SENTIN - Interesting... People have already made some good guesses.
TF DLX AIRRAI - Maybe the DOTM figure in G1/Classics colors? To go with our Classics Silverbolt?
TF DLX STARSC - Again possible FOC/WFC
TF VOY SOUNDB - Very intersting... Maybe a new figure?
TF VOY INFERN - As I and others mentioned, re-release, slight repaint, maybe a latter.
TF DLX TWINTW - Maybe a helicopter in G1 Twin-Twist colors? Maybe just a Movie figure repaint
TF DLX SWITCG - Hmmm... no idea
TF DLX SILVER - Again I'm thinking possible G1 color repaint of a Movie jet
TF DLX SKYDIV - Again I'm thinking possible G1 color repaint of a Movie jet
TF DLX SCOURG - sigh... I'm guessing another black repaint of some Optimus... Movie, FOC, etc, etc.
TF DLX REFLEC - The Perceptor repaint/retool. Pretty obvious
TF VOY MINICO - Definitely thinking this is a mulitpack put in the Voyager price point.
TF VOY TRANSP - And I think this will be some other multipack to put in the case assortment with the above Voyager Mini-Cons
TF VOY BLACKO - Movie Blackout repaint?

These with the "TRANS" prefix might well be the 30th line making it's debut or some big multipacks/giftsets
TRANS WHEELJAC - 30th Wheeljack? Classics repaint with something special? DVD maybe?
TRANS FOREIGN - Some set with Japanese named/colored 30th figures kind of like how they released Magmatron. Just a thought.
TRANS NEMESIS - Rather than this being Nemesis Prime I was thinking maybe a 30th set with Prime/Megatron and Rodimus/Galvatron of some sort.
TRANS GENERAT - Maybe a MTMTE type 30th line up? Some Classics repaints, new retools possibly.

TF VOY DINOBO - As some have mentioned, FOC Grimlock I'm betting since we know we won't be getting him in this year's Generations line
TF DLX RATBAT - Hmmm... Either Hasbro just wanted to get name usage, the Universe repaint we saw before or a new figure. Interesting for sure though! Of course I'd love a new figure!
TF DLX MV ROB - I think the Roadbuster set is a good guess. Maybe Movieverse.
TF DLX MV BLO - Stretch here but maybe some current mold car repainted like G2 Blowout?
TF DLX SKIDS - Maybe Classics Ironhide/Ratchet repaint with new head?
TF DLX JETSTO - Somebody said Slingshot, I like that guess and it goes with the other Aerialbot guesses above
TF DLX FIREFL - Again the Aerialbots
TF DLX RODIMU - At this point I hope this is a new mold or at least a heavy retool.
TF DLX HIGHBR - We'd all love a Classics Headmaster but I think this might end up a Movieverse helicopter repaint in G1 colors
TF DLX MV BUM - Because the year isn't complete without 14.7 thousand Movieverse BB repaints
TF DLX TOPSPI - Maybe this is a new mold along with the Twin Twist as somebody else pointed out. Very cool if it is!
TF DLX HARDHE - Who ever said Warpath repaint I think nailed it. maybe a new head but not a Headmaster.
TF DLX TRAILC - Could be a new mold (which would go with the Hoist listing) or a Kup retool where the cab/cover of the back of the pick-up comes off and makes a weapon?

Again more TRANS prefixes...
TRANS WINGSPA - Maybe the Deluxe DOTM Laserbeak mold in G1 Wingspan colors? I hope not, I hope a new mold!
TRANS TREADSH - Hmmm... Hasbro loves the name Treadbolt
TF VOY SKYBOT - Not sure about this one. Probably some jet or something that they've lost the G1 name to so they've come up with another.
TF VOY FRENZY - Voyager Frenzy? I think as some have guessed this will be the Frenzy Rumble 2-pack.
TF VOY 2PACKR - 2-pack of what? "R" could mean anything. 2-Pack Rescue set, Road Battle sets, etc, etc.
TF VOY ROADBL - Somebody pointed out the Roadblock link. Maybe that. Not sure otherwise.


I see some people making some Beast Wars guesses but I think with the 30th of G1 approaching that's a long shot.

Oh and I forgot to add something. About this line:

TF VOY DINOBO - As some have mentioned, FOC Grimlock I'm betting since we know we won't be getting him in this year's Generations line

My thought was his name might be listed as Dinobot Commander Grimlock so Hasbro can keep the Dinobot thing going and hopefully set us up for some other Dinobots for Grimlock to command.

Ok, I'll play

TF DLX OPTIMU - No idea - G1 coloured RTS Prime maybe?
TF DLX SKYWAR - FoC Seeker mold? I'd say the classics one needs putting to bed anyway
TF DLX JUNKIO - Scrapheap, hopefully renamed 'Rubbish' for giggle value
TF DLX SENTIN - Interesting...
TF DLX AIRRAI - As others have pointed out, there are 4 Aerialbots on this list and 2 generic jet-former names... Superion here we come?
TF DLX STARSC - As Skywarp
TF VOY SOUNDB - Black version of Cybertron Soundwave? Long shot, but it would be unusual to get a new Soundblaster mold...
TF VOY INFERN - Universe mold reissue seems possible i guess
TF DLX TWINTW - I like the 1 mold, 2 Jumpstarters idea here
TF DLX SWITCG - People have brought up 'Switchgears', so I'm going with Kup retool from the instructions as Gears
TF DLX SILVER - As Air Raid
TF DLX SKYDIV - Ditto
TF DLX SCOURG - Black RTS Prime or Generic Sweep both seem possible here
TF DLX REFLEC - The Perceptor retool we were promised
TF VOY MINICO - Mini-Con Multi pack presumably. The Targetmasters Takara have coming?
TF VOY TRANSP - No idea
TF VOY BLACKO - A Blackout of some description. If Classics themed, I hope they surprise us by making it a new version of the G1 Micromaster and not a G1 version of the Movie character
TRANS WHEELJAC - I could go along with these being 30th anniversary multipacks
TRANS FOREIGN
TRANS NEMESIS
TRANS GENERAT
TF VOY DINOBO - A Voyager Dinobot presumably. Sludge makes the most sense to me, presuming the others would be deluxes, if we get them at all
TF DLX RATBAT - Scourge retool from the instructions
TF DLX MV ROB - A movie character called Rob. Clearly.
TF DLX MV BLO - An even more unfortunately named movie character.
TF DLX SKIDS - Uni Ironhide repaint or new mold are my guesses
TF DLX JETSTO - Could be an Aerialbot, could be another classic Jetformer who's name they've lost. Beast Machines Jetstorm is possible too
TF DLX FIREFL - Aerialbot
TF DLX RODIMU - A new Rodimus Prime mold? Surely they cant use the classics version again...
TF DLX HIGHBR - New mold I'm guessing
TF DLX MV BUM - The most unfortunately named movie character yet. Presumably good friends with Panhandler
TF DLX TOPSPI - Twin Twist retool from above
TF DLX HARDHE - Warpath retool seen in instructions
TF DLX TRAILC - New mold. Perhaps a shared mold with Skids?
TRANS WINGSPA - Interesting... Wingspan and Pounce double pack come to mind
TRANS TREADSH - If 'Trans' means multipacks, Treadshot vs ? or Treadshot & Catgut?
TF VOY SKYBOT - Again, either an Aerialbot or another Jetformer who's name is lost
TF VOY FRENZY - Frenzy & Rumble. Because I've just forked out for the Takara versions.
TF VOY 2PACKR - First figure in the new 'Transformers Hip-Hop Crossovers' line
TF VOY ROADBL - If it's G1 Roadblock, then that has to be the most awesomely obscure homage ever!

I BELIEVE.
