Nah that was sixguns thing
Given how highly they placed in the ballot, I'd be shocked if we didn't get both Star Saber and Deathsaurus at some point in the trilogy (especially since we'll have already gotten Shockwave and Magnus).Nemesis Primal wrote:So the S is Not-Flywheels? Awesome. That gives me hope not only for more Decepticons/characters in-general in this line that aren't just 'the same G1 cast again', but also other figures/designs that were made for PotP that got cut getting used. That should make everyone who wanted Star Saber happy, and it makes me hopeful for Seacons again.
And here I thought Siege wasn't going to get my money when they showed the first three figures...
Autobot N wrote:Also, let me direct your attention back to this leak from Titans Return:
Now that Flywheels is (seemingly) confirmed, that checks another name off of the list of unconfirmed figures on here. Given that this leak clearly extended into POTP (given the presence of Abominus, Dreadwing Duo, Starscream, and others), it is possible that it could also have parts of the WFC trilogy in it (which the existence of this new Flywheels supports). Perhaps we could see the likes of Deathsaurus, Carnivac, and the others in Siege.
I believe it came out sometime 2016 (this TFW2005 thread dates back to September of that year). Given that we know that Transformers lines are planned 2-3 years in advance (backed up by John Warden saying that they have plans for Generations until 2021), it's not a stretch to say that Hasbro started working on some of these figures at around that time.Nemesis Primal wrote:...I have never seen this before, which doesn't surprise me since I've only read/used this site since PotP started, and this is...interesting. Did this come out during TR, or before?
but they also said all robot modes would be in scale with eachother, and it was a big priority in this lineSkritz wrote:Autobot N wrote:Maybe they'll do something similar to Magnus where he's a Voyager-size guy with armor (perhaps a re-use of the unused Shockwave Prime design from the POTP fan vote).Skritz wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Autobot N wrote:Courtesy of Nomad Vagabond on TFW2005, some new WFC listings have been found, which confirm Shockwave and reveal the identity of the mysterious Deluxe "S."
Blowpipe
Skytread!
Shockwave
Airstrike Patrol
Megatron
Sweet, though we also knew about megs and shocky...but it's still puzzling what angle they will go with on shock wave
My guess is he'd be a classically CHUG Shockwave who goes nicely with the Leader Seekers, CW Megatron and TR Soundwave.

Probably not since this line is supposed to have bot-scale the same way Studio Series does. Leader class is going to be reserved for figures that make sense at that size. I do agree that a Voyager Shockwave with a lot of armor is a strong possibility. Maybe a Star Saber pre-tool? A massive flying gun without a handle and a removable booster that turns into armor?

I've been theorizing this for a while now. Why put both Magnus and Shockwave in a poll for a new Leader class figure, and then release a completely different Leader figure for both of them in the next wave of Leaders (granted, in a new sub-line). Especially since Magnus has the armor gimmick, which is very similar to the Evolution gimmick. It wouldn't surprise me at all if these were re-used POTP designs, and if they are, we could possibly expect figures of the other poll options (particularly Star Saber and Deathsaurus) at some point in the trilogy.Skritz wrote:Unless you are right and this is some carry-over from POTP, which I'm still skeptical a bit until we see at least one other Leader mold.
That said, Magnus and Shockwave were both in the poll...

...alright, no spoilers of course but anyone who's up to date with IDW is surely hoping for exactly the same thing from the armoured-shockwave possibility. Long shot, but a man can dream
