Mine is ss86 figure using his secret vehicle holes for a trailer to bulk him up to leader class and being priced at commander class.

Will be very happy to be wrong.

Kidding, I'm thinking Voyager figure with Doubledealer sized trailer and accessory pack. Every weapon item he ever used while as Rodimus Prime.

This makes sense.

The only viable options I see are:

Voyager sized Rodimus with a trailer with accessories. Rodimus will be a new mold with his legs sticking behind him like G1 and his Winnebago trailer with accessories and a large gun.

SS86 Hot Rod with a trailer that breaks apart, parts combine with him to make him Rodimus while other parts make his Winnebago gun station.

You want a crazy off the wall idea of Rodimus? Voyager + trailer but the trailer splits apart into.. three other hotrods...one being his Animated self, then his Cyberverse self and lastly, The Last Knight Hot Rod...How's that for crazy

In order to get that we would need to have a "Hot Bod" to make it work.

Indeed. Still one of my favorite Rodimii.

What if, hear me out, what if.... Energon Rodimus is the smaller $30 figure, and he can powerlinx with his trailer sort of like Towline to form a larger bot, and then you can attach the rest of the trailer as armor to form his Rodimus Prime mode!

That would be decisive all right

Imagine just a re-release of the PotP leader but in a Commander box at Commander price... :HEADHURTS:

I wasn't particularly interested in the Ark Titan at first, but that artwork is spectacular. If the final result looks anything like that, count me in.

Just a couple thoughts about the packaging. I was very skeptical about how cutting down on the plastic would look, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Removing the tray and making the window smaller leaves a lot of room for more art that can show off the character in both forms, something I think Transformers figures should always feature right on the front, but rarely is.

The layout of the boxes remind me of a lot of different '80s line, particularly Centurions. It's a great throwback and I love it!

Also has anyone else pointed out that the backdrop of the figures in the box is the Golden Disc and there's multiple versions? I wonder if it's possible to actually collect them to make a full sized disc (albeit with holes in it from the ties).

So far it looks like Warpath, Cheetor, and Paleotrex have the same backdrops, but that could change at release.

Not sure what is going on in the background of Blackarachnia's box, but it's interesting to see Dinobot on the Predacon side. Also a better look at Scorponok.

Since Earthrise and Kingdom are part of the same story, I wonder if the 2 Scorponoks will somehow encounter each other in the show. Yeah, never happen. But it would be fun. Titan Scorpy stepping on BW Scorpy like a bug. :lol:

I've pre-ordered Megatron and Cheetor from In Demand Toys, but sadly I can't really afford to pre-order anything else from Wave 1 for a few more weeks. Smyths Toys have wave 1 up fro pre-order on their website, and there's a new branch opening in my region in November, so I'm going to see if I can hold off on pre-ordering and get the rest of the line at this new store.

Seriously, these boxes are PERFECT. More Art, less plastics. Much more appealing.

I know these are new and exciting figures but I don't understand the rush to preorder them, at least if you live in the US. They'll show up at retail sooner or later.

Yup. Especially because they are FIRST WAVE toys.

The only ones I want to pre-order are Rattrap and Cyclonus. Rattrap because many retailers in my area don't get the 'smaller' figures. Cyclonus because I just want that guarantee. The others, I want too, but I can wait until they are in the stores.

The only things from this weekend that I rushed to order were Prime exclusives. Everything else was a no rush pre-order from Amazon and wait and see if a sale pops up between now and Feb.

I'm not necessarily in a rush to pre-order, but doing so allows me to put it in my budget app and plan accordingly. Or at least it used to until Target and Pulse decided to just start shipping stuff at random. Plus I've had a few Amazon pre-orders drop in price by a couple of bucks which I would have missed if I paid full retail in a store.
