Hopefully he'll pair up well with Studio Series Scourge ('cause I don't have the other one).

Hopefully he will pair up with the new Ultra Magnus

- or the Siege version with the extra height from the third party legs. Sadly he's got no chance of standing head to head with CW Magnus.

The person who found these listings confirmed that the Astrotrain one is just ER Astrotrain, not a new figure or new listing, and that Scourge is SS, not Kingdom (although you guys already jumped on that bit, it looks like).

Kingdom has Walmart listings now too, including I believe our first semi-official confirmation of the existence of Core Class and a size class confirmation for another main BW cast member!

https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/walmart-wfc-kingdom-listings.1198957/#post-18223867

In addition, leakers provided more Core Class details, as multiple of them have now seen Rattrap:
-Core figures do come with at least 1 accessory, Rattrap has his gun
-Roughly Legends height, Rattrap was compared to the Autobot clones
-Core class Starscream was accidentally confirmed by leaker (called out Screamer's null rays when talking about accessories), meaning we now know have the full breakdown of the 6 Core figures Target says we're getting (Rattrap, OP, Megatron, Starscream, 2 Fossilizers)
-Articulation is slightly better than Legends class figures in bot mode, but leaker feels Rattrap is missing paint and rat mode has less articulation that T30 Deluxe
-Core G1 Megatron is still a tank, but comes with a pistol based on his G1 alt mode that forms the front part of his tank cannon
-G1 Prime has "his weapon", wasn't specified what it is (gun vs ax)

Also Warpath apparently has a shield of some kind, everyone's favorite.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Nemesis Primal, has dropped us a line to tell us that listings for next years Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom lime have been found on Walmart computers! The listings originate from TFW2005 user, Jtprime17. The listing confirms several rumours that we've heard, like a version of Optimus Prime and Megatron being released in the new Core Class (the size class that's replacing Siege and Earthrise's Micromaster price point) but that Rattrap is confirmed to be part of this range as well
We have listings for three Deluxes as well, Cheetor, Warpath and Blackarachnia.

There was also several notes, like Warpath having a shield made up of part of his alt mode, and that Core Class will at least come with one accessory.

Also, Nemesis Primal rounded up several other rumours related to these:

One thing I realized: has anyone found it odd that Jazz didn't get a WFC figure yet while everyone else from the Ark crew did? I guess that justifies having him in the SS86 line even though he did very little in that film.

News Credits: 10 · Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:18 pm

I'm certainly on track to get the main Beast Wars guys, but Deluxe Warpath is definitely the one I'm looking most forward to, and not even for G1 reasons (even that would be enough). I'm really curious to see how he's going to scale with the rest of the line.

Warpath?!

Hm, interesting. I wonder if Meg's gun is the same mold that comes in the Centurion pack

If memory serves, Jazz was also the only member of the Ark crew who got a figure in the line immediately preceding WfC, PotP. I'm not including Inferno, who didn't resemble the G1 design ... and also wasn't on the Ark. Minibots also excluded, since most of those haven't been in WfC.

Okay. I know I said back when this thing started that I didn't need a new CHUG Sideswipe, or Hound, or Wheeljack. And I bought all of those.

But it's going to take a borderline miracle for them to top Generations Warpath.

My feelings exactly.

News Credits: 8 · Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:39 pm

I gotta see pictures before I decide anything, but I just don't have the love for the Beast Wars to say I NEED them, so its gonna have to come down to "how fun do the toys look"?

I suspect Warpath is going to be another one like Cliffjumper. In fact, the Transformations could be very similar. That will probably be a fun toy, but so far, just as Cliffjumper has not replaced his GDO figure on my shelf despite me liking it, I doubt Warpath will take the place of his Generations self.

Oh God, imagine if Core Starscream is repainted into all of the Seekers...

News Credits: 17 · Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:42 pm

I want a minibot-scale G1 Warpath, so I think the Kingdom one will be perfect for me. Generations Warpath is too big, the CW one is too small, and neither of them have the right tank or robot design.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:48 pm

I can't believe we're finally getting more generations Beast Wars! And the leaks are pointing to us getting the whole season one cast in Kingdom! I'm so hyped! wohoo!

Hauler didnt get a figure either tho I can always use ER Grapple as one and the Classics as the other, unless selects gets a green version at some point.

I doubt that's what you'll be getting here. WfC going for cartoon bot scale means a normal sized bot mode for Warpath like on the cartoon. I imagine the mentioned shield is to fill out the front of the tank mode between his feet.

Greetings Seibertronians! Hot on the heels of the last listing reveals, fellow Seibertron user, Autobot N, has let us know that Jtprime17, over at TFW2005, has dropped even more listings for next years concluding part to the Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy, Kingdom.

The reveals this time are based around the Voyager and Leader Class figures. As well as confirming that we're getting Optimus Primal in Voyager, we're also set to get a repack of Leader Class Optimus Prime (presumably Earthrise version). More excitingly though, is the confirmation of Leader Class Beast Wars Megatron!

Here is the listings as revealed by Jtprime17:

TRA Gen WFC K Core AST
EAN: 5010993767038

TRA Gen WFC K Voyager AST
EAN: 5010993767052

TRA Gen WFC K Leader AST
EAN: 5010993767076

Tra Gen WFC K leader Optimus Prime PR
EAN: 5010993767021
(note “PR” stands for package refresh so this is most likely Earthrise Optimus in Kingdom Packaging)

Tra Gen WFC K voyager Cyclonus
EAN:5010993767014

Tra Gen WFC K voyager Optimus Primal
EAN: 5010993766987

Tra Gen WFC K leader Trex Megatron
EAN: 5010993766970

What do you think of this set of listings? Want to see a new Generation of Primal and BW Megs to square off? Let us knlw in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Great point...
I can understand if anyone thinks the Datsun bros, Trailbreaker, Bumblebee, Grapple, etc. are better versions... I think most of the ER versions are better in some ways then what we've previously had in the CHUG lines.
But Generations Warpath is really an excellent figure... And for those who hate the parts-forming,
I don't see how this version can be better.

Thu Aug 20, 2020 4:57 pm

Beast Wars Megs!!! The greatest Meg of them all! Can't wait!

Yessssssss!

News Credits: 462 · Thu Aug 20, 2020 5:01 pm

You know, I'd be fine if they were to take the old RobotMasters mold of BW Megatron and just upsize it to Leader class. Maybe give his arms some more articulation, but that old Deluxe-sized figure was just perfect, especially in its Telemocha Series deco.
