Transformers Generations Sandstorm in the Works?

Postby El Duque » Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:22 pm

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
On of the highlights from last weekend's Toy Fair was the announcement that Hasbro would be releasing Springer and Blitzwing in this year's Generation line as true triple changers in Voyager scale. Now it appears that Sandstorm may be joining their ranks. Using Hasbro's Live Customer Chat we've found entries for Springer, Blitzwing, and Sandstorm. The product codes for Springer and Blitzwing do match up based on the official images we received earlier. Highbrow and Banzitron also appear, but their product codes match their previously released Hunt for the Decepticon figures.

Additionally we may have already got our first glimpse of one of his alt modes. If you looked over our images of Metroplex's packaging you may have noticed a few extra Autobots, one of which is a orange VTOL type aircraft. Check out the bottom right corner of the image below. There's also a blue character standing on Metroplex's right shoulder and a green character on his left arm that appear to based on the new Generations Trailcutter mold. Skids and Hoist perhaps?

Fort Max is 22 inches tall. The new Metroplex is 24 inches tall, so he is the biggest transformer ever.

Good to know we may be getting more classic G1 triple-changers. Astrotrain perhaps?

This is cool. Not the biggest fan of sandstorm though. Also, I don't think that looks to much like skids.

Nitpickings :lol: . He's a bit taller than Fortress Maximus, toy-wise, but doesn't have his bulk.

Anyway, Sandstorm has to have his own mold, or significantly retooled (meaning more than just the head) to be worth it.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

I, for one am shocked and appalled that Hasbro might repaint Trailcutter into Hoist. I'm not angry, Hasbro, just disappointed. They've Michael Bay'd my childhood.

(just kidding)

Sandstorm looks significantly different from Springer. Which makes sense since despite people's claims, I didn't think Springer's robot mode or helicopter mode looked anything like Sandstorm. It might be a retool or alternate transformation, but regardless it looks good.

Now, Hasbro, hows about that car alt mode, pink and white Arcee?

I don't think Metroplex comes with extra giant braided beard or war axe accessories for Unicron. He might have something you could use as a flagon of ale. maybe?

she was dark red and brown! I suppose I should have been ULTRA SPECIFIC in my request, but I wasn't aware this was a monkey's paw wish I was making, and assumed people would interpret that I was talking about a Generations/Classics styled version of the character.

I see what you're saying. The front section sticking out under what appears to be the cockpit and the arms that the "rotors" are on definitely give it a familiar look. Lets hope the bot mode is better than Armada Cyclonus though.

just to double check, but the Sandstorm entry doesn't match the TRU/GDO Scout class Sandstorm does it?

While I share your apparent frustration with the bipolar nature of some members on this site one minute knowing every specific detail of a thing and never hesitating to correct you, only to then feign the absolute inability to understand something if not presented with painstaking and excruciatingly specific details, I must say, your post has made me laugh heartily.

A monkey's paw wish? That's just golden. Thank you greatly, good sir. :lol:
