I've wondered this as well; For a while now I've thought that even leader class figures can be a tough sell. Even for some collectors. But for the average kid or parent, dropping $55+ for one toy... That's steep.
And this set will have to be at least $100, and possibly a lot more depending on what's included (even before tax). Other than solid plastic and painted windows, I don't think these need much altered in terms of the deco.

Trailbreaker wasn't in TF:TM.

The closest they've come is SS86 Perceptor into Legacy Evolution Magnificus.

I can't believe I forgot that one.
So that mean any SS86 can be "selected." But maybe not those with licenced vehicle modes.

well seeing as they've introduced the idea of concept designs being in the toylines.
this could be 'dead' Trailbreaker from the TF:TM storyboards.

If it's not going to be labeled Studio Series 86, chances are high its contents aren't going to be in the vein of Studio Series 86.AcademyofDrX wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But again...Coptur wrote:o.supreme wrote:Blackstreak wrote:I can see this multi-pack being from the Studio Series '86 toyline.

We've had multiple Studio Series molds in the specialty sub lines, including Magnificus, Jackpot, and BB Arcee. Based on the product listing this won't have SS86 on the box, but it could be Legacy or generic Generations. Meanwhile, the inside of the box can contain whatever Hasbro wants it to, and it could easily be in the spirit of SS86 even if it doesn't have the branding. I think we're all getting a little precious about marketing labels.

Why are you so insistent on even wanting a dead Trailbreaker, anyway?

Sabrblade wrote:^ Sorry 'bout that "insistent" part. I thought I was talking to the same user as before.

I have all those guys, just need the Hound - but if yhey're in 'cartoon colors' which Hound is supposed to be, then I can make a determination as to which ones to use as my 'main' version.
Part of the reason I said the above is because there reaslly is zero reason to be releasing that Wheeljack again, particularly with the Legacy Origin version coming.

I don't believe they've done any box sets that were just straight repacks of of the normal retail figures. The three movie box sets had color adjustments (Devastator even added dirt) and the Stunticons used toy colors. I think it's safe to say every figure in this set will be different from the retail versions in some way, either a lot or a little.

As much as I want these to be just screen accurate with all solid plastic, being the 40th anniversary, I could see these having extra paint apps to more closely match the original toy versions.
This isn’t what I want, but for some this could make Wheeljack, Jazz, and therefore the entire set, more enticing.
