Might want to fix "Boardside" and "teh".

A few years ago we would all be like that's so fake but with the last few months rumors have become more or less true in some form so I think this is likely to be accurate in some way.


And many of them such as Getaway sound like things Hasbro would do which helps make it more believable at least in my eyes.

Yeah, rumours of repaints like that and Diaclone Magnus are easier to beleive.

Yeah, who thought we would ever see a Headmaster-Triplechanger-Lion/Wolf/Thing Alpha Trion?

I like most of this. Bit disappointing about broadside and tidal wave being Voyager sized. I think it makes sense to share a mold for them but I think it should be a leader. Also not keen on another blitzwing, especially not one sharing a mold with Megatron. And I could do without a diaclone repaint of prime. Cool idea for those that like them, just not for me.

What does the decepticon clone thing mean? I doubt they would release a bunch of nobody characters for troop building, but the connection to Predaking is even more confusing. I'm all for a Predaking but I would like him to be done right.

Oh sweet, I forgot about those guys!

So I guess he'll be a Leader class.

So Ultra Magnus is a Prime now, too?! Is he just a redeco or maybe a retool. Would be cool if he's something inbetween CW UM and TR PMOP to have the "shoulder towers".

Like I mentioned before I could really imagine Broadside, and so Tidalwave now, being Leader classes with a base mode which looks like an aircraftcarrier. But to hear that Broadside is now more likely to happen...

Or voyager it's possible guess too.

Wonder if Tidal Wave's third mode is a whale?

ScottyP wrote:Wonder if Tidal Wave's third mode is a whale?

Probably a jet, if he shares a mold with Broadside.

"Anyways, he said I could talk about it online, as long as I didn't mention him by name."

For your friend's sake, I hope Hasbro doesn't provide unique false leads to different employees as a technique for identifying leaks.

So if this is all true then we have our Predaking.

Horribull - tantrum
Horribull - headstrong
Wingspan - divebomb
Pounce - rampage
New mold? - razorclaw

Excuse me, but that would be a Headmaster-Triplechanger-Lion/Unicorn Wolf/Thing Alpha Trion, thank you

I am also confused.

If he is to go with Megatron, then he would be voyager class.

If you read the description below, the author states that he is not certain of the name. Also, I find it really weird how an homage to Diaclone Magnus would be a blue version of the PMOP mold and NOT the actualy Magnus mold.

We are not certain its a voyager, that is just extrapolation from the fact that its a triple changer. The aircraft carrier mode could be a base mode instead and they could both be leaders, nothing is known beyond what is written in the quote in the article which is:

Tidal Wave seems to be coming back (investor art, photoshopped, rough). Looks like it'll share a mold with Broadside. Vehicle mode seems to be USS Flagg homage. Part of "strength series". Tidal Wave's head is called Powerhouse. Grey body. Green limbs.

Hot Rod eh? Could be cool (I hope it's not like the IDW Rod though cos I loathe that design). Though I worry his head is too round to successfully function as a Titan Master without making it blocky and ugly like what happened to Scourge. But with Blurr and Hot Rod could we see Kup too?

So glad to here that Weirdwolf is on the way -- but no Highbrow? C'mon, Hasbro....

Weirdwolf and Alpha Trion both are wolves? Wonder which one could possibly get a Carnivac repaint? Most likely Weirdwolf but I'd like to see what the bot modes look like. I still have my custom painted Cybertron Snarl as Carnivac but would like an official figure (if it measures up to my high standards for one of my all time fave characters).

Broadside, Getaway, Rodimus, Pounce & Wingspan, Horribull, Weirdwolf, Gnaw:




Triggerhappy, Megatron, Alpha Trion, Magnus Prime, Tidal Wave:

It pretty much looks like Star Convoy, except that star-ish shaped yellow thing on his chest looks blockier, like a letter T. And his shoulders are very Laser Prime, sticking up high, with two circle things on the front of each one. In truck mode he's long nosed, but red. Not black with red flames.

A unicorn-horned wolf, you say?

All of this sounds extremely promising! Trying not to get my hopes up too high.

That's because the original has no real base mode. I think this is really the only reason but so like I said, a mold in between would be awesome.

Good luck
For me it's already too late.
