Appears to be the best looking Alpha Trion to date, IMO, although Orion Pax feels a bit lacking.
I'll have to remain uninterested in this one because I know I'll never be able to get an order in for it.

New trailer, but keep the base engineering of the cab.

I'm hoping the rumors of Thunderclash from Motormaster will happen, that one seems the better option

I don't think it will. Those rumours were very muddy and not concrete like anything we'd news. So far, all commanders at retail have been unique with the only one reused was Jetfire as a straight redeco exclusive. I forget what the latest rumour on next year's commander is but I don't think it was thunderclash.

While the Legacy wave 2 voyagers have been available on Amazon for a month now, we now have a sighting of them at brick and mortar retail in the US. Both Legacy Jhiaxus and Soundwave were found at a Walmart in New Castle, Delaware. There are images below provided by Mondochuk who posted them on the TFW2005 boards. If you found them as well, make sure to report your sightings to the Seibertron community here.

Leakers have stated that on the Motormaster tooling there is a Thunderclash head, but that's it. I'd imagine that it'll go the same way as the CW Landfill repaints/remolds and just not be released in any capacity, but as far as we know, the tooling exists for a Thunderclash head

Wasn't the rumours for next year's commander class Armada related? Or was that wishful thinking again?

Kinda half and half. It was reported that the designers said Tidal Wave will be happening, but gave no specifics. Fans took it from there.

Something about finally seeing G1 Soundwave and Blaster at the same size next to each other in stores...

There is no current credible rumor regarding next year's Commander, just speculation.

I'd love him to be the next Haslab figure. My hope would be they do the 6 inner bots and just forget about shells. Having 6 larger voyagers with high levels of engineering would be great, which I don't think a Titan class can give us that.

NGL, I would be immensely interested in a thunderclash retool. Wonder if the combined mode would stay, or if they would go all in on a battle station?

Well, retooled Stunticons might be the only way we ever get official updates for all 4 Turbomaster cars, so I'd be all for Legacy Turbostator!

Or should their gestalt be called Hyperdrive?

I'd like to think they'd go with a combiner and replace the rest of the Stunticons with whatever Turbomaster is the closest match. We already have Rotorstorm, time to give him some friends. I'd like to see this as Hasbro's follow up to SG if that line ends after this year (as a full line).

Down with SG! All hail G1.5!

But seriously, there's some bloody amazing Predator and Turbomaster customs out there based on CW onwards figures. Hasbro could take cues from them and make some bloody impressive figures.

And while I'm not a fan of existing non-combining characters/teams becoming combiners, I'd love to see a Turbomaster combiner based on the Stunticons.

Man the Walmarts around me don't have jack. I may have to hit the one's that are not so close and see.

I wonder why / chose not to give Blaster a far more different alt-mode like Soundwave? We did get a decent looking alt-mode for the TR line IMO. I guess it was to give fans the closest modern G1 Blaster.

Canada is really late in having Legacy Wave 2...

Hey, my Walmart takes forever too, so you're not alone.

It's not just Walmart. It's Amazon, GameStop, Toys R Us,
The most shocking is Amazon.

The most recent TF are out at Amazon.com and .jp, but .ca can shove it it seems.

If Blaster was in Siege he would have had a "Cybertronian mode" too. Earthrise, Kingdom, Legacy were more about the "mini-Masterpiece" and "G1 with knees" type figures.

Am I the only one who want a repaint/remold of Siege Soundwave into Cybertronian Blaster?

The most succinct explanation of those lines I've ever heard.

Wish I could take credit but I've heard that phrase a few times in the past. I have no idea who came up with it and google isn't helping.

Well, I heard it from you, so take a bow.

I want the opposite. A redeco of Kingdom Blaster into an earthmode Soundwave. Since Legacy dropped the ball, it would have to be Selects. I know we have the Netflix figure, but that can't be used again.

IIRC, the name first saw use back in Titans Return.
