I'm still hoping for a Selects Artfire. That might be the only way I get that mold.

If the rumors of Ratchet, Bugbite, Roritchi, Hothouse, and G2 Megs are true, then that's good, I only want Hothouse and Roritchi of the group.

So with those reveals, are those stores going to get exclusive rights to them? I'm a touch confused on that part.

Probably shared exclusives? They all carry Generations Selects products right now. Who knows for sure, we'll probably find out tomorrow.

I'm still superbly good with the MP, but I do want a simpler version for fun. I love the character, no idea why, just do!

If I made more, I would totally have the classics or G1 one by now I think. I saved up for that MP Artfire, and haven't regretted it. Top 10 of my collection right there that toy.

And after seeing more and more people get Grapple, I'm still uncertain about the mold. Seriously considering going back and grabbing another PotP Inferno for my shelf Inferno to go with RTS Grapple

I love grapple, definitley recomend him, shouldn't be hard to get either, seems he warms shelves wherever his case pack shows up; he's a great, solid figure, even has triple-jointed ankles for crazy poses

I've seen him a bunch, no interest in him in person either. He's bland, like the MP. I'm hoping an eventual Artfire follows through like the MPs did, getting better every time until Artfire perfects it

I get that, I feel like I would probably feel the same way if inferno ever came out, but artfire just has a nice pop of color that both grapple and inferno don't, and I think that goes a long way

Breaking the overquoting chain, Baltmatrix have a video review for the upcomimg Rotorstorm!

How in the heck did he get Rotorstorm from BBTS already? It's slated for November.

I've seen some people getting them early; Apparently stores are getting them in now and can break the release date (Though they're really not supposed to). However, The release date is indeed approximately early 4th quarter 2020. How he'd have gotten it from BBTS though, I have no idea. *Shrugs*

If I get Rotorstorm, I'll be swapping his blades with Spinister if I can.

I want to be proven wrong in this instance.

AcademyofDrX wrote:If we can get Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal in PotP, I'm sure we could get Inferno and Predacon Inferno in Kingdom. I thought that so far we've only seen Beast Wars season one characters, though?

...Inferno is a Season 1 character. That's why he's being discussed, because the leaker has only seen Season 1 characters but has also only seen the first wave or two in the line, so a number of them are only assumed to be coming right now and Inferno is the only one that could be potentially problematic.

My bad, you are correct about the rumor, but the rumor itself must be incorrect, because we have this:

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... uct/44755/

and we know Runabout is a standard release assumed for ER wave 4 (possibly the only release) to complete the map.

Runabout is actually suspected to be a Target exclusive, not a retail figure, and that map is so far the only evidence that Wave 4 actually exists, so if it's counting the exclusives for ER as their own wave or it's just outdated/based on plans for the line that got dropped then it could very easily be out the window.

We also have a potential 4th wave Voyager figure in Thrust. Wave 2 comes with Snapdargon and Starscream, while Wave 3 will be Megatron and the Quintesson Judge. If there isn't a fourth wave of Voyager figures, then we should try to figure out where Thrust would be released, e.g. Target, Netflix line, Selects, online exclusive, etc.

What Targetmaster mold do you think we would get with an Artfire?

I'm half expecting Earthrise wave 4 to be cancelled and the figures that were supposed to be part of it like (possibly) Thrust, Runabout and Bluestreak will just be released through Selects instead.

Thrust and Runabout both are suspected of being Target exclusives, as the Target systems are the only place traces of their listings have appeared in the US (much like SS Leadfoot), Thrust's WFC number (E26) places him with all the other known exclusives, the TRU Canada listing for Thrust that first confirmed him treats him as a stand-alone release rather than part of an assortment (his tag was specifically for Seeker Thrust, which only happens with exclusives), and Runabout's number (E41) placing him as the last numbered figure puts him in the same spot as when about half of the Siege exclusives got released, who all had numbers that came after the retail waves (the Rainmakers & MM 10-pack, the Fan Vote set, the Walmart exclusive 35th guys, etc).

chuckdawg1999 wrote:What Targetmaster mold do you think we would get with an Artfire?

Well Artfire's old partner was the only Japanese release of Scourge's Targetmaster, and Scourge's Targetmaster was in Siege as a Firedrive repaint in the Skywarp set, so probably a repaint of the Firedrive mold, possibly with inverted colors or something.

I'm loving it! Rotorstorm was a G2 TF which was only released in European countries and Australia. Possibly the best helicopter IMO, I'm so glad it's returning. Even though it's a repaint of Siege Spinister. I almost always detest repaints but this one can be one of the few exceptions.

Yep, definitely liking this. Glad i put a PO for him. Only concern is the loose knee that balt mentioned. Hopefully it is not a widespread issue.

What do I hope to see? I want to see the rumored Transformers Animated Movie Studio figures. I want to see the Masterpiece Raiden that was announced long ago but we haven't seen anything lately. I want to see something that isn't a repaint.

Literally every figure he get has loose joints

Well, can you blame a guy to like 'em tight? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It wont be any of the above, this is only for Selects reveals. Raiden wouldn't get a Hasbro reveal anyway, I'm doubtful it would even get a Hasbro release (but I'd like to be wrong, though I'd probably still get them for cheaper on Amazon Japan).

I was just thinking, doesn't Rotorstorm's existence really add credence to the theory that Doubledealer will be repainted into Stalker? I'd be pretty happy if that was part of the reveals. Likewise I wouldn't be surprised if Soundwave and Sandstorm were released during Kingdom since Beast Wars gave birth to Machine Wars in a way.

Emerje

Double Dealer us most likely to be repainted / slight remold into some other character.

One that I would definitely buy and would be extremely logical to do is MACHINE WARS SOUNDWAVE.
