That'd be cool, but I'm actually wanting some more seekers, like the coneheads for example. I really want a new LEADER CLASS Dirge and Thrust.

New Depth Charge would be awesome.

I don't think I'm getting any leader seekers cause I really want them all in voyager scale, and the deluxe is too small and to me leader is too big. plus they have the false cockpits (worked for Jetfire, but really wish they would incorporate the real nose for these 3)

Yeah actually now that I think about it, voyager would be better for them...
I am kinda hoping they retool CW Cyclonus into Starscream, and have the torso mode as king Starscream, since the combined mode Galvatronus head looks so much like Starscream.

Enough unoriginal repaint idea's, lets try thinking outside the box on this, they aren't happening, but, really, another seeker, just, no. Like we really need a fourth set of seekers in two years

All we need are the voyager seekers and we have seekers in every size class!

The real question is which Starscream will the IDW one eat next? He's already stole the body of WFC/FOC, Armada, IDW Thundercracker, and considered pretty much every other Starscream including BWII, Animated, Prime AND Bayverse. Any bets on which one he'll take next year and for Titan Wars?

Obviously the body of giant starscream from cybertron

He picks Animated body, but everyone thinks he looks slightly off and makes fun of his giant chin, so he switches again after one issue.

Yeah I really want a new Airrazor. OH YEAH and a Beast Wars season 1 Cheetor and Dinobot.

Airazor's really the only season 1 Maximal who I need an update for. Currently I'm using my Video Pack version of the original Airazor since it's a little more show-accurately colored than the regular version, but I got all the other Maximals covered with the following:

• Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series TM-01 Convoy
• Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series TM-03 Cheetus
• Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers C-5 Rattle (show-accurate later production version)
• TakaraTomy Transformers: Generations TG-31 Rhinox
• Henkei! Henkei! Transformers C-16 Dinobot
• Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series TM-11 Tigatron

We could use a large Generations BW Megatron though...

And since MP Optimus Primal is on the way, I can only suspect/hope/wish that Megatron is not far behind.

...or an MP BW Megatron.

Yeah good point. Maybe I'm just pulling stuff out of my ass at this point. I kinda want a repaint of CW Leader Starscream into Acidstorm, Sunstorm, and more seekers OTHER THAN the three main ones.

that1guysittingthere wrote:Yeah, why do Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp get all the figures? I want to see more character development and maybe figures for Nacelle, Red Wing, Hot Link, Bitstream, and the recently named Ion Storm and Nova Storm.

By Nova Storm do you mean the all Yellow one (basically the same as the CHMS rainmakers) and thus Ion Storm is the Green one (when sometimes they just names slap the other 2 Rainmakers with Acid Storm and Sunstorm).

I'm just curious as if that is the case it means 1) My CHMS Rainmakers now have proper names & 2) what about the other deco attached to Nova Storm which is black and yellow with a flamey deco?

The reason I wondered is if you look at the Acid Storm toy as a self contained toy with the camo then if you wanted to make a trio with him that wasn't attached to the Rainmaker idea then a black jet with flames on would be a "effect deco" that would complement the kooky camos the existing ones often have.

The small Generations one though does look pretty much like a Rainmaker or maybe the forest green seeker animation error.

If Hasbro wanted to make 3 More Repaints of Starscream I'd not mind - but perhaps it might be an idea to either use the smaller mould since we already got Acid Storm - or if it is the bigger mould I would like to see another modification like new weapons or a well painted camo deco (like the Masterpiece ones have).

I'm in no hurry for more Seekers but i'd not complain to much if they made a large Acid Storm or Sunstorm too.

I really don't want Starscream slightly different deco addition - "Unless" it's something like a Tokyo Toyshow exclusive in Black Starscream or Ghost Starscream deco - I'm OK with that - but not something I want taking up a retail slot.

Those leaders are a little to expensive by default to throw out by the dozen really.

So, with the NYCC teaser out, what rumors do you think will be confirmed this weekend?

Probably just elaboration on what Titan Wars will entail in terms of theme and volume, maybe any late entries to the tail end of CW for those wondering.

Even then it wouldn't be anything new, maybe additional Legends and Leaders. Wreck-Gar and Leader Skywarp needs case mates!

Wave 2 for next year needs a leader in general. Skywarp is Wave 1 and nothing has been revealed for the next one.

I am betting Blaster will take that spot as a transition.

5 hours ago, the following image was found on imgur. It is a computer listing. It is said to be from a Walmart computer. We can clearly see an assortment of leader class figures including the following:

Transfomrers Autobot Blaster
Transformers Powermaster Optimus



This would confirm that both Blaster and Powermaster Optimus are leader scale or at least around the same price point, which is what had been predicted for Blaster by the fan community.

Will we see these new products as the upcoming New York Comiccon? With the sneak peak image we received today, it seems bigger announcements are just moments away.

Powermaster OP was among the rumored Titan Wars figures from one of the Transmissions podcasts, rumored to be a retool of Ultra Magnus. We'll see if and how this plays out.

All we can do at this point is wait. I still want a Powermaster Optimus as an original mold though.

It sure was, along with so much more. I hope all those rumors turnout to be true.

I like this, I like this a lot...

It could/would be possible to retool the UM mold and add an augmentation trailer like Godbomber.

It wouldn't be a bad mold choice, the parts have enough versatility or interchangeability to be used for Power Master Prime.

This popped up in the top Optimus prime thread as a suggestion... Think umagnus would provide a good basis though hopefully it will be a proper retooling not a repaint.

Will have to see how this plays out, but I wonder how the Japanese would market it? Keep it as op or bring ginrai back

Nucleon Quest Super Convoy redeco, anyone?

I'm definitely hoping for an original mold. He deserves it.

IT'S HAPPENING!

Will it be a lazy repaint, or some great new mold that will blow our mind? Only time will tell.

I would really appreciate the irony if Powermaster Optimus Prime was a redeco or retool of the CW Ultra Magnus figure, instead of the other way around as it had been for years

I just hope it is either a new mold or one heck of a remold of Ultra Magnus. My reasoning:

Most obviously, Optimus's trailer should not be a car carrier.

I think, even more then with Magnus where I could forgive loosing it, Optimus needs to retain having his cab transform separately into a smaller "core" robot.

I rather hope they somehow actually include the Powermaster gimmick, and "Powermaster" isn't just in his name. I suppose they could remold/repaint the little guy that came with Magnus into Hi-Q/Ginrai, but then Hi-Q/Ginrai would transform into a car rather than an engine.

So, could a remold of Magnus work? Possibly. I even saw a photo of Magnus fan-mode transformed into a half-way decent base mode that, in a version of the toy remolded to make such a mode intentional, could work pretty nicely. But it would have to be, as I said, one heck of a remold to really work.

(And, as a side note, I wonder if we'll ever get Godbomber/Apex Bomber? Probably not from Hasbro, but maybe Takara or a third party might pop one out to go with Optimus.)

Hopefully its a new generations figure not a reissue i hope but 8t probably would just be a reissue

EDIT:Saw peoples posts and its most likely that it will be a leader class figure so goad it would be that size

I would hope it would be an new mold at least not a retool or repaint, and powermaster prime should get its own mold for obvious reasons
