Couldn't this change based on the packaging? Don't case packings change periodically, even if not every year?

Theoretically it could, yes, but considering that wave is the only Voyager wave from both the Legacy and Studio Series breakdowns to feature 4 total figures in a case, that means either that one wave is inaccurate or every other wave is inaccurate, and I'm more willing to believe the smaller of the two potential typos/errors.

Also since I first mentioned the error I found a post where one of the leakers called it out and said the correct breakdown is Blaster x2, Bulkhead x1, which seems pretty open-and-shut to me.

It is, I corrected the front page story

I wonder if Dragstrip will get his own mold or if he will be a redeco of Earth mode Mirage with a new head and necessary combiner parts. Same with Breakdown and Sideswipe.

They'll all be new molds, credible rumors say they all combine into a new Menasor

You mean "peacefully protest."

I was just wondering because thsts what happened in Combiner Wars.

Also, given that we got RiD Magnus in Siege, am I safe to assume a RiD Scourge/Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime is a given from the Laser Prime mold?

We've already got rumours of that figure (RiD Scourge) coming the (also rumoured) walmart Exclusive Velocitron line that supposedly replacing the Netflix line.

Rumored as a Walmart exclusive.

Yawn. Very good news.

Just using this thread to cover everything in all the rumor threads for 2022. Sadly for me there really isn't much of note. Nothing aside from Black Zarak (which I already pre-ordered) stands out as a definite purchase for me. Cybertron Metroplex is a distant *maybe*, if the design really impresses, we shall see. Also the Energon monsters, if they turn out to be something really cool with cross-play compatibility like the "izers" of the WFC Trilogy.

I know TT Selects wasn't mentioned at all, as they kind of do their own thing. I just hope in 2022 we get more news on Masterpiece Raiden, and perhaps at least one new offering from TT Selects. Otherwise, I guess 2022 will be a good year to really save up and try to get items on my want list, since I wont likely be needing much money for new items.

I just did a quick search through this thread and this post right here is the first mention of any "Velocitron line" in the whole thread.

So for anyone here who doesn't pop over to TFW to get these rumors first, there is no information about this anywhere here in this Rumor thread.

I had a read of Jhiaxus' TFWiki page today to get an idea of what the new toy might look like, I didn't realise he actually had a vehicle mode in the original comics, and the first thing that struck me was how much his vehicle mode looks like Scourge's. Perhaps that's the route they go with him, a retooling of Studio Series 1986 Scourge. While he probably is just going to be a pretool of the Armada Starscream mould in neon orange like he was last time, I hope that doesn't happen.

It's another version of Starscream from a subline called Shine, which is (according to the same guy all of these leaks came from) a subline for the upcoming Transformers Rise game by Certain Affinity

Transformers Rise and Shine? Really, Hasbro?

Leader blitzwings probably going to be TR version with a lump of crushed/stepped on by Omega accessory from cartoon S2 intro, instant £50+ price tag yippeee!

It's gonna have to be something great for leader price tag.

Astrotrain was a leader. But if the tender would have been integrated as parts count instead of being the forced armor gimmick, Astrotrain would have been better.

So this time around, unless Blitzwing get some forced accessory pushed on him, he may turn out like a mini MP.

I reckon that's more the case. He'll probably still be voyager sized but with the parts count to make all three modes look the part.

Like a miniature Kup figure to ride his tank mode?

Which is kind of nuts since that game is no longer being worked on.

I don't think that was ever confirmed was it? I know the company's having a lot of issues, but I don't remember hearing that Rise was cancelled

I didn't say cancelled, I just said that work on it is currently halted.
