[quote="Autobot N"]Found something interesting on TFW2005. Take with many grains of salt.[code][/code]

Yeah, I saw that. But this one has really no tangible source. I still wouldnt be surprised if they all happen though and i will have a ton of fun right now breaking it down to see how they could all be issued within next year in the model we currently have.

Deluxes
•Getaway
•Hot Rod
•Doublecross
•Triggerhappy
•Quake
•Croc
•Topspin
•Kup
•Perceptor
•Crosshairs
•Slugslinger
•Misfire
•Needlenose
•Nightbeat

Only 14 out of 16 possible, it could be that those I listed in the titan master section would be here instead.

Legends
•Sharkticon
•Cliffjumper
•Beachcomber
•Huffer
•Seaspray
•Cosmos
•Hubcap
•Chase
•Freeway
•Searchlight

Voyagers
•Megatron
•Optimus
•Broadside
•Bliztwing
•Octane
•Snapdragon
•Apeface

If there is any chance for another voyager, it would be in a boxset unless Snapdragon and Apeface are not voyagers, which would suck. It could be battletrap and flywheels instead but that would mean 3 mainline relases of the Blitzwing voyager mold, which strikes me as odd (but not unheard of, CW rleasd the Optimus voyager mold 3 times that year)

Leaders
•Sixshot ¸
•Sky Shadow
•Overlord
•Deathasaurus

If this is how it plays out, this could be the best yearfor Leaders since ROTF.

Boxsets (2 sets)
•Fastlane
•Cloudraker
•Tidal Wave
•Pounce
•Wingspan
•Quickswitch
•Godbomber
•Nautica
•Tidalwave

Two titan masters, A blue redeco of the Magnus/PMOP mold and a redeco of the Voyager Optimus mold would be here as well.

Titan Master
•Ptero
•Sawback
•Fanrgy
•Overboard
•Grotusque
•Ranger
•Hosehead
•Arcee
•Battletrap
•Repugnus
•Shuffler
•Toraizer
•Optimus Prime

Only 13 out of possible 16


Titan Class
•Trypticon

Really Not Sure Where
•Flywheels
•Shockwave
•Abominus

This would be pretty awesome.

If this is legit, then it's going to be a busy year...!

Shockwave could be the Galvatron mold reuse.

Pretty sure we knew about Cloudraker and Fastlane from a podcast leak too. And I think Searchlight was already rumoured but it might have been Chase; the throttlebots always blend into each to me. Can never tell them apart.

Yeah,but this is just an extra source reiterating those so it adds validity. Just like this second mention of Predaking adds validity.

All I need from this line is a deluxe or larger, well executed pair of Horrorcons. That's all. I'm really hoping that their names here mean that my wish will come true.

It's kind of weird how it's seems like everything the fans have been asking for is coming out according to these rumors. Except the Dinobots of course. But please let the Leader rumors be true.

The Nightbeat and Flywheels rumors are interesting, since we've already gotten both as Titan Masters.

I wonder if the full Nightbeat will come with a comic-inspired head, so that you can switch between the two depending on personal inclination?

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.

Flywheels would make some sense as a Blitzwing repaint (or very slight remould) [well a new head at least].

Hoping for Shockwave to be either a Voyager or a Leader-class. Leaning more towards Leader due to the recent releases of Starscream and Soundwave.

Wow...I'm gonna have to get a job.

Overlord's next tech spec motto: "Choom Choom de party starter!"

That would make sense given the homage to him in the Platinum Triple Changers set.

I said the same thing a few months ago. Basically where Galvatron's legs connect during transformation could be the barrel of Shockwave's gun mode. Galvatron's mold could also make a decent Straxus/Darkmount figure as well.

Normally I usually see any year where there's a Bay-formers movie releasing as a wash for decent CHUGS figures but next year could end up being the best year out of the last 3 (we'll likely have to get most of them online though).

I'm having a hard time believing a lot of this as well. If this were true, that means in September of 2016 we would know almost every Generations Transformer coming out in 2017.

I'm keeping a very wary eye on this list.

We knew everything coming out in 2016 at around the end of 2015, things just snowballed. We still have no official confirmation nor images or anything. Thats a big difference from last year where offically, we had already seen everything coming out for half of next year plus the G2 sets and VIctorion by this time. But this year, we still havent even seen the complete set of deluxes coming out in January 2017.

EDIT: I went to check and we knew of Soundwave in July 2015:

July 2nd, 2015, episode 114

1. There will be a new Soundwave figure that will work with the Legends Buzzsaw we saw Hasbro reveal.

So yeah, it was even earlier than that last year.

I hate rumours with "my friend works at "insert company" and got me this" they always sound fake. I'll just wait for official announcements or possible prototype images. Just a list isn't much good

Wave 2 deluxes came in the post today, if you are in UK and want the Wave 2 deluxes, order them from The Entertainer, though I think some are out of stock! I am not incredibly impressed with Highbrow, his head is not very secure, just turning it causes it to pop right out of the port, and I don't know how to keep it this way, and can also get a bit of a bobblehead. Aside from this, they are all great!

The really strange thing about this new rumor is the fact that all the leader class figures are Decepticons. I'd expect at least one of them to be an Autobot. What ever happened to the rumor of Sixshot being remolded/redecoed into Greatshot?

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

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