I feelya. I don't pay attention to those rumors.

Then again, that's essentially what Chainclaw's rumors were, and look where we are now.

Turned out to be part of a boxset alongside Nautica, the Autobot Clones and a voyager. (Which I'm still super angry about)

Yeah well the worst is when someone says they have inside information and then say something that we researchers already know.

I don't think that pertains to this situation at all.

No, but it's something I thought I'd bring up since I've been dealing those people a lot on other sites lately.

The leaders are true and the only one unconfirmed is SkyShadow although I am 100% certain he will be coming out since we have his product code. Any other leader is pure speculation (on my part) though and not a rumour.

I was referring to Va'al's bolding which he stated to be indicative of figures we didn't know about before.

But his bolding didnt reffer to a size class so I dont know which Leader rumours you could be talking about. Nothing in the article about new toys states the class.

Thats a different charcter.
Greatshot being a redeco was never an actual rumour, just a fan wish (unless you ca show me otherwise). The current rumour is that Quickswith will be a redeco of Sixshot and be avalable in a box set.

Woooooooow I messed up really bad there.

I meant to reply to your post replying to my post saying we already knew about cloudraker, battletrap etc.

Aye whatever happened to Chainclaw? coz some of his rumors did pan out....like Broadside ect.

WHAT? aww that's p1$h! so that means that we can't get him sigularly then?

& who else is in this box set?(Sixshot i take it?)

Nautica, the Autobot Clones (Fastlane & Cloudraker) and a Voyager who I think is an Optimus repaint.

And believe me I'm also as angry. These characters have piss all to do with each other, and chances are if you care particularly about any one character in the boxset you don't care about any of the others. I just want a Nautica and I'm expected to pay 100 quid just to get her and a Leader I don't care about and isn't in any fiction with her (hell, he's barely in any fiction period), the Autobot Clones who I also don't care about and aren't in any fiction with her, and another Optimus who despite being in the same fiction as her has not yet shared a scene with her. The whole thing's absolute bollocks; if you're going to do a boxset at least have the characters have something to do with each other rather than packaging a bunch of randoms together.

Quickswitch will be in the speed set with Nautica, fastlane, cloudraker, some Voyager and titan master Thunderclap. Why would two of the same leader mold be in the same box set? Plus we already know that Sixshot is wave 3's leader class figure.

I think the voyager in the box set will probably be some sort of Nemesis Prime. Either that or maybe an Albino Prime, but that doesn't make much sense at all.

That's probably where a Scourge repaint would come in, actually.
He has nothing to do with the other characters in the boxset but that doesn't stop Nautica from being packaged with Quickswitch

I was really hoping we would get a Scourge in a box set with an RiD 2001 colored Fort Max, but I guess that probably won't happen.

Well, we didn't get the really obvious repaints of the last two titans. It seems Titan repaints are relegated purely to SDCC 'premium' versions. (Read: pointless chroming and half-hearted 'show-accurate' decos)

I'm still a bit annoyed at this idea of the box sets. Such things like that seem a bit ridiculous and aggravating for those who want only 1 of those characters (for me and K: Nautica)

Same here.

At the least, these had better be better than just some bodies with new heads. If they are going to do this, there had better be some nice remolding with this.

I don't really mind it, but I suppose it's because I'd be in for a Quickswitch and clones.

Aye, if they were really gonna do a boxset they should've packaged characters with relevance to each other.
Like, you could put Nautica with Nightbeat, Getaway, Overlord and a MTMTE-styled Hot Rod with a new head (I know they all have individual retail releases; just as an example if this was gonna be the only way you could get them). It'd still be really annoying if you only want one of them, but at the very least you're more than likely to want all of those at some point - maybe not all at once, but most people would want them for MTMTE collections.

Its been happening for years with Botcon toys though, and even platinum sets, and SDCC and Scrounge. But I agreem, it blows.

I doubt it. Most Boxsets are just redecos, many dont even have new heads.

Well the rumors already said that Nautica will be remolded from blurr, so there's that.

Man, you must be upset if you're agreeming with everyone

I agree though, these are nothing new, but they tend to be really cool, and almost all tend to feature better than average deco's and end up being worth it, but these sound pretty pricey though, maybe they're reviving the ol' tradition of Christmas-season-store-exclusives, something I've sorely missed in the years since Animated

okay, been seeing this a LOT: what is MTMTE??
