By the fact that you said that, it would seem like you're also implying that the rest of them, Bumblebee, Optimus, Megatron, and the rest of the movie cast are all movie 3 figures. It would mostly make sense, but why would they be in the system this early? Ironhide would also be blatantly missing. I don't know, not much of this is making sense. I'll just pretend that my assumption that you were implying something was false.

No it's not. Rumble and Frenzy are Voyager sized and they're listed with the rest of these Deluxes.

I also thought that that was the case, but didn't have a link to back it up so I didn't bother.
e-hobby listed Rumble and Frenzy at their Voyager price point. That seems conclusive enough.

One more thing, "two pack twin" is something we've seen before. Heres a hint: we first saw it in United.

And to think I thought it would be a Shattered Glass Skids & Mudflap Chilli van!

EDIT: Voyager Soundwave is for movie 3.




I shouldn't have said that, I shouldn't have said that...

Ah ok so now I have confirmed my suspicions as to who the "two pack twin" is.

And I already figured Soundwave was for movie 3. Wouldn't make sense to release him before the movie line. But thanks for saying that SwindleBot! Now where's Ultra Magnus?

[WarGraver]

It would seem out of place, but I hope Apelinq is (again) just Optimus Primal by another name.

Hate to be the pessimist here but why exactly should we believe what you have to say? Are you a Hasbro employee? Am I missing something here?

Also, what's up guys, it's been awhile I guess.

I think only Soundwave is DOTM. I am thinking he is preview wave. I don't know what wave any of these are, I just know what class they are. Blurzz, it probably was a error unless Hasbro is planning on making toys for the TF Prime Drones. Again, I only know about AT and Soundwave. Apelinq and the others:

I'd like to call shenanegans because my inside sources haven't heard what you've heard. But that's the thing with sources, they could be right or dead wrong. Though if what you're saying is true, you're being rather out front about it, which means there's a good chance you're either falsely misleading us, or you've sealed your source permanetly because HasTak is usually pretty good at locking leaks down.

Either way, it should be fun to see what happens.

[sabrigami]

I know they cost as much as a voyager, but they've been confirmed as voyager size too? I thought they were 2 deluxe or scout size or something. Guess they're going to be bigger than I thought

Alright, ya caught me. The only fakes on here are Voyager Soundwave, Leader Alpha Trion, and Apelinq. Skyhammer (not the same guy on these boards) told me that if this was ever proven to be fake that everyone should not be angry at me, but have a good laugh about this and actually, get someone here to send an Email to HasTak and tell them why they should make these figs. Please don't ban me or whatever. We should try to be civil about this. And who knows? Maybe there ARE some plans about what to do with these characters....


I am in no part involved with HasTak, so please take that last remark with a grain of salt.

Isn't it nice to tell the truth. Something seemed fishy from the top, but I won't dwell on it. However, this is kind of a speculation thread so doing so is perfectly fine, but when you choose to deem things as fact to mislead others, that should not be done.

On another note, what did you mean by "The only fakes on here are Voyager Soundwave, Leader Alpha Trion, and Apelinq." though? Are you saying that some of the list is fake? And if you were, and this Skyhammer who isn't the same one from these boards told you this, when it is the Skyhammer from these boards that reported the list, why would you believe him.

[Dai_Ceefax]

Lol, I thought I remembered Hasbro having said they weren't making toys of those Original Thirteen designs. Oh well, it was fun to hope, even just for a while!

What I am saying is that Voyager Bulkhead is the Animated one, Ratchet, Starscream, Arcee, Optimus, and Megatron are ROTF, and Bumblebee and "two pack twin" are the Reissued Classics one and the Rumble/Frenzy Pack.

Also, the Skyhammer on these boards had absolutely NO involvement whatsoever. Another person named Skyhammer did this.

A one-toy Animated wave seems a little ...odd.

[Megazarak]

So basically the info you had on those Trion, SW and Ape were false, but for some reason what you know about the others is sound?

To say that Bulkhead is Animated seems highly unlikely, as, though we've seen a repaint of him, if they were going to release another Animated figure it would be one that people haven't had a chance to get, like Wingblade Prime or Hydrodive Bee.

Then there's the fact that those are all from RotF. We already have 2 versions of Leader Optimus and Megatron each, so I don't think they're going to go for a third. Why make another Arcee if no one wanted the first one? Ratchet's Voyager mold was just repainted and his deluxe mold is also getting a repaint. Starscream just got a leader mold and his voyager mold was recently used in a 2-pack with Mudflap.

Bumblebee could happen, if he were in RtS or Generations. But as for Rumble and Frenzy, wasn't it just established that they would be sold at a Voyager price? Similar to Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm?

Moral of the story, everything on this topic should be taken as speculation until information is confirmed.

[WeatherManNX01]

I think we're reading a lot into nothing. With a new movie coming out, and thus a new toyline, it would make the most sense for these to be for the new movie. Movies sell Leader class toys, Alpha Trion leader class toy. Check. Soundwave is in the movies, and there's a new Soundwave coming out. Check. Apelinq...well, the movies aren't made using all retread characters. Maybe he's in the movie or movie-verse. Check.

I'm not going to read any more into this until someone can tell me where it says that these are Prime or Classics toys. Past evidence would indicate that DotM toys will be pretty much the only line sold for the year around the movie. I have a feeling we've pretty much run through the entirety of the Generations/classics-esque figures for the current lines.

Didn't they already announce BB was going to be re-released for RTS?

Everything on here (besides BB and F/R Pack) has already been released. There is no plans for re-releasing these figures.

[Blurrz]

This is freaking stupid. Now I have to go around the Transformers community and do damage control. I've had enough of this ****.

[Mkall]

Seibertron.com wishes to apologize to all those that fell for this story. It has since been retracted.

[Counterpunch]

If it is confirmed that false news was intentionally reported, I will advocate for an IP ban of the person who misled the boards on this.
