Onslaught is almost certainly a Long Haul retool, Hot Rod reminds me of Roadbuster from DOTM, maybe Nitro IS a Shockwave retool as well.

Most likely these versions of Hotrod, Onslaught, and Nitro are repaints of figures that will be available in the main line. The rest, probably not. That's a pretty unusual thing for Hasbro to do.

its unusual, i will give you that. it was unusual for RID Starscream which was TRU exclusive at first. But he was eventually released wide (months later).
but here, what is odd is that we all know the rundown of all mianline figures (in code names) and that list has been confirmed by multiple sources around the planet. Its the same breakdown everytime and the only one left unknown is one deluxe. and that list doesnt include these exclusives. So it really seems like they wont get a wide release. Could be worse, all AOE deluxe toys were TRU exclusives in England

It's amazing that they haven't repainted Generations Springer into Drift yet.

As far as I know we don't know how many waves we're getting, so there's a chance of them being released later on. It isn't like the main TLK line is any stranger to repaints and remolds.

I thought about that also, but it seems to me that would be very difficult as they would have to make the vehicle look like that of his movie counterpart. They're two different aesthetics that I would be very interested to see combined but I can also imagine being a very difficult task.Emerje wrote:Kurona wrote:So is there not gonna be a Helicopter Drift?
