How about Leader Class Elita One?

How about Leader Class Elita One?

Another cool idea.

Though, that-which-we-weren't-supposed-to-have-seen-before showed her to be a reuse of the Voyager Starscream mold.

Not in this line, she is coming as a voyager in wave 2.

I am pretty sure we will be getting a Star Sabre though. Armada Prime wouldnt be likely since they already have a big Optimus for this leader class that they will be rereleasing throughout the line.

What I would want, and I dont think we will get it, would be a Megatron that turns into Galvatron to oppose Rodimus.

The more I see of the Dinobots the more disappointed I get. The deluxes only come with one of their weapons, they should come with a sword AND blaster at least. Grimlock doesn't look like he comes with anything besides the combiner feet.

I thought we saw all the leaders and it's only going to be Prime, Rodimus, Repaint Rodimus, and Primal.

[mordhelm]

Did no one else notice that the official release from hasbro said all the dinobots will be available fall 2017? Sounds contradictory to the release schedules we have seen. If true I am pleasantly surprised.

Yeah Grimlock only comes with his combiner feet. And we only know the leaders of the first 3 waves, Power of the Primes will likely comntinue into mid 2018, we have no clue what comes out for the last 3 waves.

I think I saw Snarl at least with a little removable gun on his dino mode? I'm not too sure. But even so, by this point I'm so used to updated toys not getting all of their 'proper' weapons (or any at all) that it hardly bothers me any more.

Grimlock though, I hadn't noticed that. Not that you point it out, I'm glad I still have FoC Grimmy's weapons (plus that gun that came with the IF Dino-Armor) to give to this one! Not that that helps anyone else, but still.


Those Leaders are all we saw in the leaks, yes, but those leaks only show what was "planned" for the first four (three? I'd trust Will on this one) waves. Since at this point we can be fairly certain PotP will be 6 waves, that leaves at least two waves' worth of Leaders (and every other class too) that we haven't yet seen. Plus on top of that, this:

that mordhelm observed (and I think I've noticed it too) seems to suggest that the wave plans we saw in the leaks weren't actually final. If they're reordering things between waves, there's also the potential (which seems likely to me) that some of the slots taken by re-released figures from earlier in the line might be replaced by new toys, or retools, or something. It's nothing concrete I suppose, but it's enough to encourage me not to give up hope, at least

Thanks to a leak from a Weibo user, we now have several more examples of artwork from the upcoming Transformers Power of the Primes line! The pieces, mirrored down below, all feature variations on similar designs/poses for each character. They feature Grimlock, Starscream, Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, Jazz and Optimus Primal. Since almost all of them contain several characters at once, it's unlikely they are art from any collector's cards packaged with the soon-to-be-released toys, or from the packaging itself, so it's unknown at this time what the art will be used for. Check out the pieces below, and then check out the real-life figures for yourself with our galleries from Hascon!

Slight deviation ... there's a picture floating around that shows Megatron who can turn into a gun, but that gun then combines with a green tank (ala G2) which then transforms into a combined mode.

Wait, what? I hadn't heard about that at all!

Although Megatron turning into a gun automatically makes me suspicious.

That sounds awesome.

I don't suppose you're able to share that pic?

It wasn't official, guessing it was a fan art thing. Can't even find it now, knew I should have saved it.

[noctorro]

The thing I am a bit shocked by is that there were a ton of repaint/retool possibilities in TR that would have made sense, and hasbro chose not to overload us this time.

WHAAATTTTT!!!!

Somebody actually complaining about not enough repaints?

[Gearslide]

I wonder if Takara would consider a box set with PotP Starscream, and then 4 repaints of the "Ghost Starscream" Unite Warriors mold as Thundercracker, Skywarp, Sunstorm, and Acid Storm.

[ArmadaPrime]

That artwork im is very cool!
With the odd dimensions and multiple variations on roughly the same thing, im gonna gues they're for point of sale displays in stores and the like

[ExciKaiser]

As long they're pertinent, I have no issue.

I'll continue to insist on the next ten years about this missed opportunity in CW :

Blue chest swoop is an animation error.
It should be red.

[Burn]

So to the best of my knowledge THIS IS FAN ART. Recent too judging by the date, and the fact they've drawn in how a Prime Master would work.

Once again.
FAN ART

[Insurgent]

That FAN ART is a frikkin awesome design.

[Rodimus Knight]

So basically you get a prime master, when a pretender, head master, target master and power master all get together and have a baby.

3 waves of Prime Masters, Legends, Voyagers and Leaders, and 4 waves of Deluxes, were revealed in the leak, so its both the first 3 and 4 waves dependant on size class, that we know about.

Thanks for your trust Yeah, it was 3 waves of leaders. And while 6 waves hasnt been confirmed yet, I have a feeling it will be something around those lines, but with repacks scattered throughout (something already confirmed). Then again, the amount of waves isnt really much on an indicator anymore. We can say Titans return had 6 waves but the last one only has 1 new figure.

Our best indicator is what has been confirmed for power masters coming out, we know there will be 12 coming out in that class. And we know they are releasing them 2-3 at a time with 8 different ones released by wave 3. So there would be 4 left after that, enough for 2 more waves of new toys. That at least means to me we will be getting at least 2 more leaders from what we have seen. And one would probably be Star Sabre based on the interview we just had, along with how he makes sense in the play pattern.

[Kurona]

Talking of said interview, I unfortunately don't think we can expect a new-mold Decepticon Leader-class either We did get a ton in TR though so oh well.

Way to completely misunderstand my post.
