Don't know where to say it (is there a Post-WFC thread?) but Wreck-Gar has stated that the Jr Headmasters (only Autobots so far :/ ) are coming to Legacy.
I think we're at the point to start coming to terms that we're not going back to Generations, we're going back to Generation 1 with three newer characters. If all the rumoured figures are in Evo, we already have over half the Deluxe slots filled out with G1 characters (8 by current counts), 1 BW (Tarantulas), and 2 Prime (Arcee and Knockout); no mention of Armada.

It's just a rerelase. meaning that they produced more for this new line.

It's amazing how they felt the need to reissue Wheeljack again but never felt the need to reissue Titans Return Misfire, Windblade or Twin Twist. Wheeljack was already in Earthrise AND Netflix. I can't believe they would go for a 3rd round.

But I gave up on trying to make sense out of Hasbro long ago.

Prime Wars Trilogy followed very specific play patterns: combiners, Titan Masters, combiners and Prime Masters. At the time rereleasing Titan Masters would have been a step backwards when they were focused on a story about Primes instead of Titans. War for Cybertron Trilogy has been a little more fluid since the play pattern is things like effect parts and Weaponizers (et al) and carries through the whole trilogy.

Doesn't Starscream only get mentioned as a character because of the Core figure? The only "leak" I could find was this one back in August, but I'm pretty sure it was actually Earthrise Starscream since the screen says there's 2 on the floor.

Earthrise Starscream's DPCI is 087-16-9987, though, while this one is different (like the other Kingdom repacks of ER figures were). The reason it says "2 on floor" is probably just the system looking at the entirety of the "WFC Voyager" assortment rather than the specific item.

Actually scratch what I said, it's probably the SS86 Starscream from when he was originally supposed to be a Voyager before getting bumped up to Leader. Starscream's numbers match up with SS86 Scourge while the Kingdom figures match each other.

Starscream 087 06 5839
Scourge 087 06 5839

Optimus Primal 087 16 9183
Tigatron 087 16 9183

And those Kingdom Voyager figures use the same 087 16 as Earthrise while both Scourge and Starscream show "2 on floor" since they carry the same DPCI through the line at Target.

That would make a lot more sense, yeah.

*starts planning the Fossilizer combiner* Now for a name...

My local stores still have Wave 1 figures on the shelves. I'm actually scared to even check anymore because it's been the same ones for about 2 months now.

just get her and swap the head for a repainted tracks head, slap some labels on it and call it SG Tracks like I'm doing

Fossilizer Combiner name: ( minus the r )

Ferberus!! (Fossil cerberus)
Ferb for short

Just a play on words. I figure if you took the "r" out it would remove any connection to the frozen/frost part. Though a "frozen fossil" would be kind of awesome.

Frostillicus sounds awesome, but evokes "cold", Fossilicus sounded too wimpy to me, so I took the median route.

It's kind of like Trypticon. the name really doesn't fit the character at all (*and yes before anyone asks, I know what a Triptych is )

When you make as many dollars as Hasbro does, you don’t worry so much about making sense.

Having watched many videos from the Spector Creative YouTube channel I've come to realize that the toy industry doesn't function with common sense, at least the common sense that most of us have to use in our day to day lives.

DorkSide Toys has Wave 3 Core-class figures in stock for $11.99. I got the radioactive Dino bones and Soundwave ordered.

Too bad Skeletor is taken. It would have been perfect.
