I hadn't considered Omega Prime. I suppose he could work for the 40th anniversary. But it was said at some point that the next HasLab wouldn't be an Optimus, and Omega is made of an Optimus.

Conversely, Animated Omega checks the "not an Optimus" box, but doesn't really seem representative of the 40th anniversary, which the HasLab will be celebrating.

3rd Guess while doing some thinking: Omega = Omega Lock, which wakes up Primus AKA Cybertron, thus the Haslab will be a Titan G1-ified Cybertron Primus.

What price point do you think it will be?

Would they make Primus as big as Unicron?

I'd guess Unicron sized yep.

And ya know what else: I now feel confident in this answer, as Primus/Cybertron would fit the 40th anniversary celebration of the Transformers. I don't think Omega Prime or Supreme really fit the "brand celebration" deal

How big did you remember his hawk legs being?

We won't know until next year, but I don't find this logic convincing. If they wanted to tease Cybertron or Primus, there are dozens of better teases they could've done than a reference to Omega Lock, especially since Omega suggests multiple more plausible answers.

Outstanding stuff. Especially Thundertron and Tigerhawk.

This time, it's the Core class figures that are all full of wins!

Yes, those of us that guessed Tidal Wave's coming can brag!

There's not a bad figure in United so far.

Loving that Chase. It's cool that they included the Powered up and Energize weapon.

At this point I have to ask. Why is anyone who already collects transformers figures interested in these updated releases? The majority of sculpts are atrocious when compared to the originals. This Tigerhawk is a joke. I didn't think hasbro could put the bar lower than the new BW Megatron but they did.
I understand kids would like this, but you can get the original Tigerhwak on eBay for $40.

Except that animated Omega Supreme would be the Ark which would be very 40th anniversary since the first 5 minutes of the first episode is about powering up the Ark to escape Cybertron.

I would agree that Primus would be a good 40th anniversary, but it'd be another $800 haslab. I'd rather see a $250 Ark done better than what we got with the last autobot.

Lots of preorders have popped up at Amazon. I really LOVE the "Rock Lords" who transform into Flintsones vehicles.

Nothing worth preordering, which is fine by me. As for the other stuff even with GI joe being not for the masses outside of america/hasbro makes things easier on the wallet. Kinda weird that they promote and now sell super7 power rangers ultimates so maybe transformers ultimates and reaction will be available too (at least for american hasbro pulse).

I've managed to get my pre-orders in for Optimus, Thundertron, Bumblebee and Tasmania Kid, and also managed to buy Powerlinx Hot Shot, and I'm relieved I managed to get my order in before he sold out, that was a big anxiety I had for a while. At the moment Pulse UK is saying January for Bumblebee and Tasmania, and February for Optimus and Thundertron, which isn't too long to wait, especially as I got a shipping notice for Ultra Magnus today, and Ratchet isn't too far away either.

Fans can be interested in getting more accurate and more articulated figures.

Come on, reveal the 5th junkion!

United is a great line, especially Tigerhawk. Good to see the rock lords return.

Wow so much to unpack from this
First of all, MAGMATRONNN!!!!!! and as commander class so you know he's gonna come out fooking bada$$. That will be an instant buy, I love that character. I never got the original because the lack of articulation just wasn't worth it for me. DIVIDE AND CONQUER!!

Core class:
•don't care about Megatron but looks really good tbh
•bouldercrash looks cool. Won't consider getting the new armorizers until I see combined form, I've grown tired of them with fossilizers and junkions
•Tasmanian Kid looks better than I expected by a long shot, I love both modes. The tail gun kinda sucks but alt mode is awesome, head sculpt is cool as sh!t and the beefy hands in bot mode are cool. Instant buy.

Deluxe class:
•other rock guy is cool too, I like the weapon
•I don't care about chase but that mold is pretty good. Primevsprime speculated this would be reused as Prime Cliffjumper which would be an instant buy for me so fingers crossed
•still on the fence about Bumblebee
•Windblade's face is a little weird but I've been wanting to own the character so I'll be picking it up. I'll get the remold into slipstream too. Maybe I'll use her as a TF gamora with my TF guardians of the galaxy team along with Shadow Striker as Nebula

Voyager class:
•still on the fence about Prime
•Thundertron! Mixed bag for me. Robot mode shoulder pads are a little lame compared to the original having the claws there. Headsculpt is kinda derpy. The Prime figure had such a menacing face and this one looks too nice lol and the alt mode looks really good. But the lion front legs look a little skinny. Wondering if I should nab this one now or wait on the potential leader Walmart version? I'm gonna own that character one way or another though
Looks like tidal wave will be my first Titan class figure as well, my captain will need his ship!!

Leader class:
•PR prime: whatever who cares
•Tigerhawk: TIGERHAWK!!!!! I already pre-ordered him. I love tigerhawk, I still own the original and Tigatron/tigerhawk is a favorite character up there with depth charge and dinobot. Robot mode looks fantastic, I love love love love love the robot mode. And the asymmetrical head is a nice touch. Accurate colors, noice. Feather swords? That's a fun idea, kind of lazily executed though. Some molded blades on the feathers edges wouldve been nice
Lol not sure why people are surprised that the fuzor freak of nature with bird legs has skinny bird legs. That's what bird legs look like, they weren't beefy on the original toy as pointed out above and the cartoon model didn't have beefy legs either. If anything its a shame the front legs still have the robot feet visible. And that tiger head... looks like a fox or a Raccoon or something idk it looks weird. But I love him and I'm getting him

And to reiterate the sentiment of a fellow seibertronian, MAGMATRONNN!!!!!!

I like the idea of all my figures and characters interacting. The thrilling 30/reveal the shield line was the first taste of this that I can remember, which inspired my signature. Trying to mish mash toys like the original animated, with generations and movie style figures just doesn't work for me. They don't go together. And I want them to, having separate mini collections sucks, I want the interaction of my favorite characters. That's why I exclusively collect generations figures (and the studio series figures that can fit in with them) and why I hope we continue to see figures like this for a long time. I love what they're doing. It hurts my wallet but feeds my soul

Core Megs just looks cute.
Tiger hawk, definitely picking him up.
Chase has piqued my interest.

Thundertron…. Not sure….

So, Magmatron….. interesting Commander Class… more interesting.
Does that mean we can expect a Magnaboss at some point or. Tripredacus?

TFA Optimus was one of the only ones I wanted, but through a combination of delays, and high demand, it got sold out on Pulse before I could pre-order. I want to hope they'll restock - but this is Hasbro we're talking about. And they've had an annoying habit lately of making all the really good figures completely unavailable (coughcoughcoughVelocitronCosmoscoughcoughcoughLeaderSnarlcoughcoughcough)...

I sure hope so! I'd love a new Beast wars ironhide!
Hopefully a new Big Convoy too

Just wait and buy TFA Optimus from any number of other retailers. It's not an exclusive, it's a mass retail figure. It'll be available everywhere.
