With Prime, Megatron and now Brawl done, are there any KNOWN future Leader Class figures coming? Any rumors that are floating around the boards?

I'd like to see Blackout and Bonecrusher done before they pull the plug on this assortment. Everything else seems to be realitivley in scale except for those 2.

Thoughts?

a leader ironhide would kick all kinds of ass!!!

Nightwatch Optimus Prime and Brawl redeco for sure. Probably a Megatron redeco.

How about a leader class Frenzy?

After Botcon the guys said they were going to get together and talk what else could be done for the leader class... Everyone then replied a Leader Class Blackout... So we might just get that one!!! I hope so as he needs to be bigger.. Ironhide would als be awsome too!!!

I hope its an autobot.... Prime is all alone as a leader class, with 3 decepts, megs brawl and someone else. Then once again, the autobots will have a miracle in order to win. They are outsized and outnumbered, so I hope its an autobot. A blackout would kick ass though and an ironhide!

Star.

Scream.

Bonecrusher. :3 It is a must!

I can Actually see blackout as the next, I mean we get a tank, why not a big helicopter with flashing lights and sound

And Yes, leader Ironhide would be kick ass. Rubber wheels like leader Optimus, big smoke stacks, and you could be able to put his cannons in his back for storage in vehicle mode. he'd be out of scale, but still kickass!

I personally don't think that they will make new Leader Class toys. Scale size has always been a huge problem for a discriminating Transformers collector and if we get a Blackout Leader, he will still be too small for a Leader class (if he has his backpack). So he should be Supreme Class and have more gimmicks to play around with. I'd rather have a really good, playable, awesome supreme figure and no more pointless repaints and redecos. Desert Attack Brawl is the final LEader repaint I'm liking. Whats next - 'Las Vegas Bling Optimus Prime' with a full gold repaint (can't imagine how lame his bio will be)?

Also, it's true that the autobots are unfairly outsized and outgunned. If I had my way, all the Decepticons except Frenzy, Scorponok, and Barricade would be Leader class (because that's how big they are) - but no way Hasbro will do this, financially senseless especially for kids. I would like them to make a new mold for a Leader Autobot, like Jetfire - but this will not happen.

Hopefully starscream with working hands,etc.

leader ironhide wouldnt hurt.

I think Bonecrusher would do as a voyager class, and Blackout should atleast be a leader class. If we are gonna go on a strickly scale thing here none of the autobots in the movie besides Optimus could get a leader class.

Ironhide, now that would be an awesome toy! Blackout would make a LOT of people happy as well.


My vote goes to Ironhide though.

with most of the pointless gimmicks Like desert attack Brawl, and Night watch optimus, it seem finacially Habro likes mixing it up. There biggest mistake is making these pointless repaints while more profit can be made on more Accurate toys. Blackout, Starscream, are great for the mandatory light ans sounds the Leader classes require, while Bonecrusher is just a mine clearing machine.

Hopefully in the comming year or so they can make these figures happen, but if they dont there is still hope for new characters from the sequel they can make accurate.

They aren't even cool gimmicks; I would give Nightwatch Prime thumbs down if it wasn't for the fact that he does look pretty cool.

I think they need to make better movie deluxes and Voyagers. Leader Prime and Megatron are here and I don't think they will make more - and if they do I think they're making a mistake. Also, the deluxes of this line, by and large, have been frustrating. The only ones I like with a passion art 08 Bumblebee, Arcee, and Wreckage. The rest have been mediocre, and the lens Transformers like Swindle and Dreadwing are just ridiculous. We need more like Longarm and Dropkick.

Cybertron had awesome deluxes by and large. I don't see why the movie line can't.
