Our next story comes from the Youtuber Rektangular, courtesy of news staffer Mindmaster, who was doing an update on upcoming Marvel Legends figures in the Wal-Greens computer system, and ran across an exclusive Wreck-Gar listing! We're unsure if this will be included in the final days of Titan's Return, or, more likely, somewhere in the upcoming Power of the Primes line! As always, this is a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt, but it does look quite convincing.

If Wreck-Gar is announced, you'll see it here, on Seibertron.com!

On another note, I want Leader class Optimus and Megatron to both have smaller bot modes that resemble their G1, or for Megatron G2, selves, but then evolve into Star Convoy and Super Megatron when combined with their trailers. And yeah, Megatron can have a trailer. I basically want him to be a giant main line version of this. Can you guess where Super Megatron's canon would go?

Emerje

Very true, Emerje -- I'd love to see Doubleheader and Longtooth as Prime Masters! Of all the Autobot Pretenders, they appeal the most to me.

I've been wanting Star Convoy for awhile now, so I LOVE your idea!

My theories are gaining more and more ground...

With current events in the IDW universe, wouldn't it make more sense if this Wreck-Gar figure was a Titans Return figure?

I would guess Skywarp and Thundercracker (scale be damned) to round out the limbs and hopefully Sunstorm as the Legend from the original Generations Seeker mold to finally complete the major Seekers (doesn't even have to integrate, I just want a Legends Sunstorm already).


Emerje

I could see them just adding Skywarp and Thundercracker. They've also got the Legends-scaled Skywarp from Combiner Wars that could be re-done as Sunstorm. It wouldn't surprise me if two Deluxe coneheads and one Legends conehead were made as well.

That said, in addition to a Voyager Starscream + 4 Deluxe Ghost Starscream combiner, I'd love to see someone do a Voyager Starscream with Combaticon limbs..

Brainstorm, Cloudraker/Wingspan, now Wreck-Gar. I've never been more excited to browse the aisles at Walgreens before.

Also - he's got to be based on Combiner Wars Groove, right?

It doesn't say generations so this could just be a toy of Daytrader from the Last Knight.

I'm only putting out theories don't hang me yet.

That's kinda what I was hoping when I clicked this link on the news feed.

I would be shocked if that were the case. I can't see them releasing a whole mold exclusively with Walgreens. Unless... They use the Hound mold? Or something? At the same time, I've never seen a Voyager Transformer at a Walgreens. Soo... Shrug

It'd be cool, but my money (and hope) is on a Generations Deluxe.

I could see Hasbro just adding Skywarp and Thundercracker. They've also got the Legends-scaled Skywarp from Combiner Wars that could be re-done as Sunstorm. It wouldn't surprise me if two Deluxe coneheads and one Legends conehead were made as well.

That said, in addition to a Voyager Starscream + 4 Deluxe Ghost Starscream combiner, I'd love to see someone do a Voyager Starscream with Combaticon limbs..

It seems likely with Two Deluxe limbs to be revealed it could be Thundercracker & Skywarp. However...Since we got both Legends and Leader Class Thundercracker & Skywarp in CW, I would hope Hasbro would mix it up a little.

Going strictly based on toys that have not been released n the past two lines (including club and con exclusives) ...The Problem with it being Coneheads or Rainmakers is that there is only spots for two... My first instinct to fill two spots would be Apeface & Snapdragon, but I cant imagine the fan rage that would ensue after not having them as Voyagers in TR, when the gimmick was seemingly perfect for them.

Deluxe Windsweeper would be awesome, and Tailwind as a repaint of Powerglide/Viper would work for the legends class... Now just getting a unique Deluxe to fill that last spot...

Spinister from Alpha Bravo anyone? I mean, now that BotCon/TFCC is gone, I'm sure Hasbro is less inclined to care about those TFCC exclusives anymore. So that means we've got a few possibilities if it's not any of the Seekers:

Targetmasters:
Needlenose
Spinister
Windsweeper

Action Masters:
Banzai-Tron
Gutcruncher

Micromasters:
Flat-Top
Whisper
Storm Cloug
Nightflight
Air Wave
Blackout And Spaceshot as a Redeco of Dreadwind and Blackwing
Fireshot and Vanquish as a Retools of Dreadwind and Blackwing
Skyhopper


Others:
Deathcobra (for those clamoring for the other Breastforce bot)
Any of the Predators

Personally I think it would be neat to get Blackout and Spaceshot.

Doesn't it usually mean those exclusives were made because Hasbro wasn't planning to make them themselves?

I know a lot of fans feel that way, but I'm less inclined. I'm sure Hasbro doesn't care, but I see how they included Quake in TR and avoided Needlenose/Spinister (that were Club exclusives). Good to know there are choices though, Id rather Hasbro just keep releasing new versions of characters from the original series than retreading ones already done in the last two lines, whether exclusives or not.

I think Hasbro does what is best for them. There is a precedence for producing something the club previously had exclusive: Thundercracker was almost exactly the same, and Krok was the same character only, Dreadwind same character...

Shrugs shoulders... Who knows.

I'm hoping for a new Tracks that combines with whoever Jazz will combine with. I like his gen version, but could see a new version being cool.

Hound has two different One-Step molds and a Power Battler mold. Those wouldn't exactly be fan favorites, but they would fit in with the typical selection at Walgreens price-wise.

If Beachcomber is anything to go by, I think the Legends figures are going to stick with their TR role of being there for Titan/Prime Masters to ride, rather than joining the combiners or reusing Thrilling 30 modes without the Targetmasters.

Well, we've already seen a T30 re-issue is gonna happen in Wave 1...

Who? I don't recall, and we're both news staffers.

Then again, I've been very forgetful as of late...

I'm telling you now, the right Megatron for Power of the Primes Leader Optimus Prime is Combiner Wars (or Takara Legends) Leader Megatron. Trust me on this.

You're probably right, but I do want to wait and see if they release a leader megs for POTP. I just don't like the thin legs on CW Megatron.

They're not that thin compared to his body - they only look thin because most tank-alt toys of G1 Megs have had chunky legs made from the tank's aft.

I would rather a Leader Galvatron for POTP, since due to the "Evolution" gimmick Rodimus Prime is a full Leader-size robot instead of a Voyager-height robot (to go with TR Galvatron) plus a base. Annoying, but I definitely still want that Roddy.

Hadn't considered smaller classes. That seems more likely. I would, personally, argue that's an unintelligent move. As "exclusives" entice collectors, and I think verry few of us are interested in One-Step bots?

Plus, the listing does specify a "Deluxe Class" figure, which One-Step and Power Battler molds are not. This also precludes this "Wreck-Gar" figure from being a retool of Voyager Class Movie Hound (either of them).

FYI I've heard from around the net that, that Walgreens screen image has been around for awhile. If it is true I think Wreck-Gar is a retooled Groove.

It could be a Hound retool that's scaled down to Deluxe size... I could be wrong, but I just want a movie Wreck-Gar, Haha. it could also be a retool of a CW or TR Deluxe as Wreck-gar.

probably like Afterburner:
