This is some Richochet/Stepper levels of confusing nonsense.

As far as I'm concerned the Wiki jumped the gun with that entry, he doesn't have an official name and the presenters were just calling him that as an example of what we can call him because he happens to turn into a red spear. He'll be SG Fasttrack to me unless something official comes along.

As for release dates keep in mind that's their worst case release date that they've been using since Covid. Just look at how many figures they've dated for November 1st.

The Wheeljack SG repaint as Slicer dos look pretty cool, probably my favorite deco so far.

o.supreme 1 of the last 2 is rumored to be Prowl. But it's just mainly speculation at this point.

And based on the cover I just saw, we can bet that Sir Soundwave is the other...and he looks to be a redeco of the Walgreens Earthmode Soundwave to boot! EDIT: Actually, based on Laserbeak I have to recant. It's Siege.

I am still hoping the last one is a Titan Metroplex

Yes, how could I forget. It would make sense, to go with Blaster.

The 1st wave had 3 'Bots and 2 'Cons

Blurr
Megatron
Starscream
Goldbug
Jetfire

This wave so far has 2 'Bots and 1 'Con (technically)

Magnus
Blaster
Slicer

so shouldn't we be getting 2 more 'Cons to even things out?

Assuming the exclusives like the Prime/Ratchet set don't count.

You would like it to be the titan for next year? A redeco of the newest one?

I do want a SG Titan yes. It would be a subline one, much like Black Zarak this year, so we could have 2 next year.

I am also still praying for an Animated Omega Supreme from the Ark, or a new mold one

You mean Walmart exclusive Soundwave right

Had you said this earlier, before the goldbug reveal, I would have dismissed it and said they'd just reuse siege SW...again, now though

Yeah, well...maybe BECAUSE of Goldbug I had more hope than was necessary or prudent, because that Laserbeak is demonstrably the Siege one.

*squints at lazerbeak* I see what you mean

Store Exclusivity doesn't usually last too long so I'm sure they could utilize that version of Soundwave for a SG repaint if they wanted, even if it included the same Lazerbeak. Because technically it is still different. Goldbug too is slightly different Walmart from Bee even though the core alt mode is still is a VW Beetle. Problem with it is that it simply traded Excusive partners for which I'll still have difficulty in locating it because I've not had the best of luck with those Buzzworthy 4-pks to date. So if he's not too spendy on secondary market I may just get Goldbug there and forgo the process of unloading the other three.

True...I agree it's possible, but the use of Cybertronian Laserbeak just colors it. I'll wait and see what it ends up being like everybody else. I would wager that if the exclusivity period for Bumblebee is up, then so is Soundwave with Walmart (not Walgreens).

Yeah, that page was created by one of the more "OMG!! To the Wiki!!" users.

Officially, he's Slicer's Action Master Exo-Suit given a robot mode, like what happened to the Micromaster Bases in Earthrise.

Though, not "rumored" in the same way that Blaster, Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, and Slicer were "rumored". Prowl is just a guess more than anything.

Which also still gives me hope that we will see a titan Metroplex, keeping that one a secret seems to make more sense than Prowl to me at least.

Let me keep hoping, I want this

Well, they're keeping them all a secret, but I get your meaning. LOL

*squints at lazerbeak* I see what you mean

So you're both just going to ignore Walmart Ravage on the same cover?

I agree it's muddy. I'm not ignoring him. I'll be getting it either way, but I'd be more excited for Earthmode.

Yeah, it's fine. And looking back at the two versions of Ravage they aren't as different as I remember them so that's not actually a clue at all. But still, I wouldn't speculate too much based on the tapes, this takes place on Cybertron, but the tapes aren't gangmolded with Soundwave so they can mix it up however they want.

It's good to know the tapes aren't gang molded, but that only increases my ire that there's no Buzzsaw.

The story does take place on Cybertron but the non-flashbacks are after they went to Earth and destroyed it *even though Prime is still depicted as Earthrise in the flashbacks.

Well, according to Hasbro Pulse, the subtitle of the Shattered Glass II comic story is "War on Titan" so you might actually get your wish.

I might be the weird one here, but I'd like the SG Metroplex to use the Cybertron Metroplex mold. Would make a nice homage to how SG started.

I agree. Plus it would be way more appropriate. And if the colors are interesting enough, I may be buying this instead of the normal one.

How? The guy's a city.

As for the colors, it's just Metrotitan colors.

Well the original SG figures mostly used Unicron Trilogy molds, so using Cybertron Metroplex would be a nice nod to that.
