Seeing as those are in stores now, that should give some indication. As you stated, June is all about GI Joe, I anticipate/hope for quite a bit of focus on Transformers in July for all lines.

With June focusing on GIJoe, I'm expecting the only TF reveals I'm June to be SG Goldbug, and maybe one other selects on a random Tuesday. July should be quite TF focused, which will be nice. SDCC isn't happening, so there is a LOT to reveal in lieu of that.

There was a botcon in 2018 - 2020? Which I think more was what Will meant.

I agree, Topspin is one of the rare few that didn't live up to the original, that is still a fantastically fun toy

But as I looked for the positive side, I might actually get him if they fix the loose panels that are his shoulders and make everything properly click into place better.
I can't help but dream about how cool it would've been if they had upscaled this guy and released him as a SS Commander scale to match the proper movie scale, cause after rewatching ROTF yesterday, he is a freaking HUGE mofo, definitely worthy of the commander scale. He would need to be a bit shorter than the generations commanders, but with the added bulk and some upgraded hands/beefed up legs, that would be worth it for me all the way. But I do realize that's a dream upon dream upon dream of many things that will never be lol. One can dream.

Man was SS Blackout a shelfwarmer outside the UK? I remember never seeing the figure available anywhere (be it brick and mortar stores or online retailers) except for hugely jacked-up prices. I was always kinda bummed I couldn't get my hands on one. I'll probably snap up this guy now that I'm in the US.
For scale alone this figure is destined to be a better Blackout than Grindor, regardless of the minor paint changes.

It's so cool to have a full set of armored Wreckers in the same scale - they look really good together!

I'm in the US, and definitely don't recall SS Blackout shelfwarming. Grimlock was usually selling out first, and was clearly the more popular leader of the wave, but Blackouts were usually gone a week or two later in my area.
