Speculation threads are always fun. Let's see what we can all come up with.

Here's a list of confirmed releases for Generations '13:

1-Starscream
2-Ultra Magnus
3-Kickback
4-Sideswipe
5-Fireflight
6-Soundwave w/ Laserbeak
7-Soundblaster w/ Buzzsaw
8-Ravage & Rumble
9-Frenzy & Ratbat
10-Impactor
11-Roadbuster
12-Whirl
13-Topspin
14-Twintwist
15-Grimlock
16-Blaster w/ Steeljaw
17-Eject & Ramhorn
18-Rewind & Sundor
19-?
20-?
21-?
22-?
23-?
24-?
25-?
26-?
27-?
28-?
29-?
30-?
31-?
32-?
33-?
34-?
35-?
36-?
37-?
38-?
39-?
40-?

Blue is wave 1, red is wave 2. The question marks are wild cards that haven't been announced yet.

Keep in mind that Optimus Prime, Jazz, Shockwave, and the Combaticons are scheduled for release this year, so they wouldn't count toward the 40 for next year. Same goes for the previously Asian exclusives.

Whoever guesses correctly gets bragging rights and a shiny new internet cookie. :KREMZEEK:

Those figures are from Fall of Cybertron,i think the 40 Generations figures,are those imported from China.

EDIT:Just now i read this part:

OK then, i think we can count on more FoC figures that havent been made yet with some repaints(like the seekers) an Megatron,possibly more Dinobots,maybe an Bumblebee/Cliffjumper,maybe and deluxe Arcee and others.(An G2 repaint of Grimlock now that i think about,would be cool).

Maybe we could get those movie figures that havent made to US.(Would be really cool :michaelbay:

)

I hope we get deluxe Dino,and DOTM Leader Megatron.

Maybe more combiners.

I've already pointed out, those Chinese figures don't count. They're being released this year. The 40 Hasbro told us about is for 2013.

Is Metroplex too much to ask? 8-}

Also, I'll like to see them do more Classics Generations, not FOC Generations... I'm pretty happy with the number of FOCs as it is...

Okay so for the Classics:
-Reflector (Perceptor repaint)Hasbro said it themselves 2 comic cons ago...
-Trailbreaker
-Hoist
-Magnus
-Skids
-Ironfist (Hound repaint)
-Impactor (Warpath repaint)
-Rotorstorm (Tomahawk repaint)

I know the wreckers are all unlikely...

FOC:
-Ironhide (Blaster retool... just add a curved window... it's so obvious right now!)
-Ratchet
-Skywarp
-Thundercracker
-Sunstreaker (Did he appear in any of the games? New mold please, not another Jazz retool)

Where/when was it confirmed that the 2012 Generations figures are not included in the "40 figures"? I was under the impression that they are.

Well logically, the "40 figures for 2013" wouldn't include figures from 2012.

hehe. You think Hasbro is logical?

I think they'd be stupid not to release a Trailbreaker this time 'round, and I'm really hoping for the rest of the Dinobots (unlikely) and the other two Insecticons (also unlikely).

PS. In no way do I believe Hasbro is NOT stupid.

Chromedome
NIGHTBEAT
Brainstorm
Apeface
Jhiaxus
Armada Starscream
Sharkticons
Vehicon Generals & Drone repaints
Cannonball

More wishful thinking than speculation really.

by **Screamfleet** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 7:56 pm

I think we'll see at least 3 more recolors of that starscream mold. Ideally we'd see the 6 seekers we know, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

I feel the line will be about 50% repaints anyway, would be nice to get the ones the fans want.

I dunno, a redeco of FoC Starscream into this would be kinda sweet.

News Credits: 13 · by **grimdragon2001** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 8:37 pm

the rest of the dinobots, arcee, skids (G1 style), trailbreaker, combining stunticons, combining protectobots, all other combiner groups as a plus so many more

by **STINGRAY749** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:18 pm

I want a FoC Devastator in all deluxe size. Heck The rest of the combiners in Foc style.
None of this seems likely though, so I think it will be all repaints.

If they do Skywarp, I'll be a happy camper...not so much otherwise. I know it's weird, but I like my seekers all having different aesthetics; Classics Starscream, 07 Thundercracker, and an FoC Skywarp would round out a nice trio.

I'm not the first in this thread to think the 2012 figures were included in the 40. I don't recall the specification of "40 in 2013". So how about providing us a helpful link and quote, rather than posting a snarky reply?

It wasn't "snarky", I was simply stating something.

"With 40 figures that are planned for release next year"

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:09 am

maybe they were planned for release at the time they made that statement, and their plans have since changed?

News Credits: 2 · by **Banjo-Tron** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 4:16 am

I hope that we're going to see some more 'classics' releases too. We're not that far away so it would seem a shame for Hasbro not to complete the collection. I would love to see all the following available as deluxes

Blitzwing (criminally overlooked thus far, and why did they do Octane first, who had less screentime?)
Skids
Trailbreaker
Hoist

Website · by **RK_Striker_JK_5** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 7:16 am

A Trailbreaker. Everything else would just be gravy.

by **STINGRAY749** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 12:30 am

Changed my mind after playing the foc demo. I want a foc menasor. We will be able use deadend, dragstrip, and breakdown in multiplayer so it only makes sense just to to add wildrider and motormaster.

Crap hasbro doesn't know how to use common sense.

Well there's already a WFC design for Motormaster(from the DS version). Wildrider I believe would be the only one that don't have an Aligned design yet. It's more than possible.

As much as I like what I see from the FoC line so far, if this is all there is, I'll be sorely disappointed. Stunticons AND Aerialbots make sense IMO. Though of course, one Aerialbot is already made for wave 2, and he unfortunately don't have combining ability. Maybe it'll turn out like RoTF Dead End where there's 2 guys that have the name, but only one of them is a true member of his sub-group? It's definitely a far fetched idea, but not impossible.

Eh, who am I kidding... with all the fan backlash from Bruticus, I'll be surprised if we ever get another combiner.

In all fairness, the "backlash" was them selling out very very quickly. So if anything, Hasbro knows the interest is there. But any future combiner had better be much MUCH better than this Bruticus.

So I got the latest TFCC magazine today. In the interview with Director of the Transformers brand team Jerry Jivoin, JJ says that he hopes that the rest of the Dinobots makes it to the Voyager scale. I'm not sure if his word carries that much weight to it, but I haven't been as optimistic about anything before in my life.

If the Director is willing to put it into a written statement, then at least there are drawings and 3D models of these mythical Voyager Dinobots within Hasbro's design departments. Whether they'll make it past that stage... we shall see.

Well TCC only asked what figures he'd like to personally see made. But it still gives me hope. Lots and lots of delicious hope.
