Rotorstorm is one that I’ve been hoping for ever since Spinister’s release. My guess is that Sandstorm is basically the cancelled G2 Seeker. Hothouse sounds like a firehouse Micromaster base, and Greasepit sounds like a machine shop guy. Hubcap is fine. The clone set hopefully includes Cloudraker and Pounce. The Coneheads are cool, but I would rather have Bitstream and Nacelle (The other members of the “Welcoming Committee”) The rest, I don’t care about.

My guess is that Sandstorm is basically the cancelled G2 Seeker.

Good guess, with the Coneheads coming out, but Sandstorm is at a deluxe price point, so it can't be that.

Wrong picture obviously.

Tra WFC Alternate Universe Optimus Prime

EAN: 5010993719952
Product Number: E7462

The Nerf darts pictured EAN is Actually 501099334261.

Hmm... Shattered Glass maybe?

[ZeroWolf]

Wasn't there supposed to be some rumours of a prime painted up as shattered glass? Also there's no mention of Siege or Earthrise there

I would guess this is a redeco of ER Prime. They already set that precedent with the Masterpiece. Only issue with that theory is the price. It's about $42. Too cheap to be a leader class, too expensive for a voyager.

What about a Voyager with Battlemasters thrown in?

Exactly what I was thinking. Good opportunity to finally reuse the Smashdown mold (maybe in orange and black Tantrum colors or dark red and gold Longhorn colors, or both).

I can think of one Twincast Podcast-er that must be super happy about Rotorstorm getting a new figure.

UK online retailer Zavvi has listings for two new Earthrise Deluxes: Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker. No photos though, unfortunately.

The pre-orders are amongst the other 'NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM NEW YORK TOY FAIR - HASBRO REPLICAS & MORE!' products.

Both have a release date of 30 October 2020 (the same date given for Fasttrack and Runamuck).

Sunstreaker can be found here: https://www.zavvi.com/merch-action-figu ... 90548.html
And Trailbreaker here: https://www.zavvi.com/merch-action-figu ... 90547.html

These could possibly be Secret Figure #1 and #2 mentioned in Big Bad Toy Store's Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Deluxe Wave 3 Set of 4 Figures.

Meh. Could still happen.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I really hope that alternate universe Prime is Shattered Glass, that would be awesome to see.

But I would hope he would use the Earthrise and not Siege design, I already have Siege and don't intend to get the retail Prime

Ok, so Amazon Australia just put up a bunch of new listings. Some we already saw before or knew were coming, like Terrorsaur and Artfire, but there are some new ones like Goldbug. There are also some real puzzling ones like a "Unicron Galvatron" which is a seperate and pricier listing that the Kingdom Leader Galvatron. We put some highlights below but the full list can be found at the Amazon Austrailia page.

You'll let us know what you think. That Project Bat one is particularly intriguing. The image below is just a fan made digibash for Nightprowler made from the Kingdom Cheetor toy by Trent Troop on Twitter.

Goldbug
Another Blurr
Sideswipe with Nightprowler
Golden Jackpot
Golden Tigatron
Golden Terrorsaur
Unicron Galvatron
Project Bat Action Figure
Studio Series DOTM Sideswipe
Studio Series 86 King Starscream
Selects Artfire

[bacem]

I am more intrigued by "another blurr". Like, what? Is it a repaint of SS blurr in different color scheme? Or a new mold for blurr out of nowhere?

[Emerje]

It'd be amazing if it's Armada Blurr, maybe a retool of Punch/Counterpunch? Whatever the case we'll probably find out Thursday.

Emerje

[blackeyedprime]

Well, so much for sideswipe coming with grimlock. I might end up with a crappy cheetor figure after all

Blurrs probably target master at voyager price point jackpot is definitely interesting for me and goldbug (if it's a new mold rather than a repaint).

[Lore Keeper]

These listings are really intriguing. I especially wonder about the Blurr, Unicron Galvatron, and Bat Project. For the latter, I'm thinking either something related to the GI Joe B.A.T.s or Nyx from the comics.

[Lunatic Prime]

And that Project Park sounds very intriguing, too. Might be that Jurassic Park/World crossover redeco of K Leader Megatron.
Those listings with the prefix "Golden" might be from a subline called Golden Disc. Because Golden (Lagoon) versions of these characters wouldn't make that much sense.

[Lunatic Prime]

Yea, I would have preferred Grimlock, too. But you can always sell.

Blurrs probably target master at voyager price point

Has a Deluxe class price point so far.

jackpot is definitely interesting for me

Might be an SS-86 Jazz redeco with hopefully a Targetmaster due to the price point.

and goldbug (if it's a new mold rather than a repaint).

Most likely a redeco of Netflix Bumblebee. I mean WHY should they already make a new mold?

Also intriguing is that Golden Tigatron is cheaper than regular Tigatron.

[Nemesis Primal]

....well, I was really hoping we'd get a Nightprowler, but he comes with Sideswipe now? Ugh...I mean I didn't actually buy Siege Sideswipe, so it's not like it's a duplicate for me, but that doesn't make me actually interested in Sideswipe at all. But it's not like we'll ever get a frickin Nightprowler again, so I guess I'll wait to see them and see if he makes it worth it.

Things to keep in mind:
-Every recent figure that's had a recent listing called Project ____ has been a crossover figure, meaning Project Park is probably the Rexy from Kingdom Megs we heard about before, and Project Bat is...something. One of the credible leakers is already specifically saying it isn't Batman-related, so who knows.
-The prices probably aren't accurate, since the product descriptions in the listings definitely aren't (and considering the fluctuations of non-retail pricing amongst the already released figures).
-If "Prime Optimus Prime" isn't a typo...interesting that that would be the first TF: Prime design to get a Generations figure, considering that design was really only different from regular G1 Prime due to the artstyle.
-Goldbug, Blurr, and Jetfire are allegedly parts of the Shattered Glass repaints subline (according to EAN numbers posted on TFW combined with pre-existing rumors for SG Goldbug & SG Jetfire), which would also explain the extra Megatron and Starscream listings as well.
-Further proof that "Golden Disc Collection" or whatever it's actually called is likely gonna be a full mini-line of exclusives like Galactic Odyssey, considering the now second appearance of Terrorsaur alongside these new additions. I guess Golden Tigatron is gonna be prototype orange? I don't think he's ever had any other repaints historically, and the listing still specifically calls him Tigatron as opposed to a separate character name.
-Whoever made the Studio Series listings can't keep track of movies 2 and 3, evidently, since I thought DotM Sideswipe was the one that already came out and Jolt definitely wasn't in DotM.
-"Unicron Galvatron" is probably the rumored mid-reformatting Galvatron repaint.

Very curious to see what comes of these listings overall.

A mid reformatting Galvatron would be very interesting to see,

And if It's an Earth mode Sideswipe?

Maybe Dracula. Or something baseball related

-If "Prime Optimus Prime" isn't a typo...interesting that that would be the first TF: Prime design to get a Generations figure, considering that design was really only different from regular G1 Prime due to the artstyle.

And alt mode. And weapons. It's kind of in between G1 and Bayverse Optimus Prime.
I really hope they rerelease Gaia Unicron after they did Breakdown and Vehicon. Might be that Galvatron Unicron somehow (just wishful thinking).

-Goldbug, Blurr, and Jetfire are allegedly parts of the Shattered Glass repaints subline (according to EAN numbers posted on TFW combined with pre-existing rumors for SG Goldbug & SG Jetfire), which would also explain the extra Megatron and Starscream listings as well.

I wonder which molds that Megatron and Starscream will be...

Maybe green with orange stripes (just wishful thinking again).

-Whoever made the Studio Series listings can't keep track of movies 2 and 3, evidently, since I thought DotM Sideswipe was the one that already came out and Jolt definitely wasn't in DotM.

And as the listing doesn't say DotM but Tf3. So it's either a typo or what you said.

-"Unicron Galvatron" is probably the rumored mid-reformatting Galvatron repaint.

The WHAT
That's a new rumor to me. What does that version of the character look like?

[Emerje]

I guess Golden Tigatron is gonna be prototype orange? I don't think he's ever had any other repaints historically, and the listing still specifically calls him Tigatron as opposed to a separate character name.

Depending on how the retail version turns out, if this one isn't orange then it could just be in boring cream or white.

-Whoever made the Studio Series listings can't keep track of movies 2 and 3, evidently, since I thought DotM Sideswipe was the one that already came out and Jolt definitely wasn't in DotM.

The first Sideswipe was indeed DotM and we're getting a presumably ROTF Jolt at regular retail. But these two could be exclusive repaints based on their various DotM toy line designs, like these two.

Just read the Kingdom topic and realized "Galvatron Unicron" may actually be referring to Unicron Trilogy and this is the Galvatron with extra parts to look like Energon Galvatron that was mentioned by leakers a while back. Guess that explains the higher than normal Leader price point ($110AUD compared to $85AUD or whatever).

Yeah, that is an odd listing. Unless it's just like the netflix series and just him in a slightly different deco.
