Joining in on the love for the fossilizers. Maybe just because they are something all new but these are what I'm most excited for in Kingdom. I'm hoping to actually get 5 of these as Predacons (even if 2 are repaints into new characters) to create an all fossil combiner.

....Why are we not funding these???

I'd rather not, apparently they haven't succeeded in doing "proper" G1 Dinobots yet, let alone IDW organic ones, which honestly are not different than these except they are robotic instead of organic.

I would much rather see the original BM "Dinobot" faction done before we even touch this, and especially the original Dinobot Repaint as Grimlock, complete with gold, white, and headsculpt

I certainly say it can be done. In the right hands, of course.

We have our first look at Transformers Kingdom deluxe Ractonite, in package, along with the repacked Arcee. This is our second deluxe fossilizer.

But that is not all. We will be getting a deluxe Tracks figure in the Kingdom line, we can see him on the poster. One would hope for Roadrage and indeed, that figure is said to be coming in the Selects line. It comes from the same person who leaked other info, you can see a breakdown of said leaks here.The other redeco of note is a Transmutate coming. This would be a redeco of one of the fossilizers.

The images below were posted on the TFW boards, though the original source may come from elsewhere.

Yay if true on Tracks. He is at the top of my most wanted list.

I wonder if in addition to Roadrage the yellow Tracks could be a possibility? Even though I like the blue better, nods to Japanese releases are always nice. Back when I was collecting alternators. I'd get binaltechs of any variant Hasbro didn't release.

Can we name him Tiger Swipe since the yellow Sideswipe is called Tiger Tracks.

Still holding out hope for a Primal Prime or Rodimus Primal from generations selects.

I really hope they come out with primal prime, especially if they've confirmed packrat in generations selects already

There was no official confirmation, Hasbro can always choose to not release it.

I'd never seen these two pics before, are they just digibashes? I actually did a Rodimus Primal just like that by Frankensteining and recoloring those two Op-Op KOs sold at Big Lots over 10 years ago, but never got around to pics thanks to my bad luck with digital cameras. I'd better find the time soon.

And I guess I'll be waiting until Kingdom for that Arcee mold so I can get the cards. Or will Earthrise repacks not include them?

And while yellow Tracks would be nice, I'd be more excited for a Selects Loudpedal.

Yes to this too. I love the Neo characters and designs. I own all the neo original molds. The only one I don't have tooling-wise is Killerpunch, I have Guiledart, but not his retool

The figure will be the same either way. If you want the cards, then you will definitely want the Kingdom packaging, as the Earthrise package will just give you a star map piece.

LIES!! ALL LIES!! Since no store in my area has gotten anything beyond a handful of Siege bots, I declare all these supposed Earthrise and Kingdom releases as lies and fakes.

Damn you Hasbro. :-(

Hasbro has a mandate of having a "leader" Prime in every generations line. The toys sell, eventually, and now you'll have a cheaper option for parents who just want to buy an Optimus Prime for their kids and a more expensive option for birthday presents and the like. You'll let me know if there are still a ton of them on shelves come December 25th, there are usually 0 left.

I've only seen two of the leader class Primes, but then again most of my stores are still clogged with the leader class Shockwaves from Siege wave one.

If we get a Diaclone Tracks, I hope its the black one as Loud Pedal.

Line space allotment. And eith Tracks it would be 4.

Would have been nice if they had repainted Arcee's face on this release. It's so boring.
They did a nice job on painting lifeline's face.

Well, it'd be in Generation Selects which has a bit more space for the odd repaint, especially for Diaclone characters cause people seem to live those based on the Diaclone repaints selling fairly quickly, while G2 homages are still sitting in stock
