Odd... Let's do a little head count:

Earthrise
Ironworks/Greasepit/ Botropolis Ironworks
Airwave/Hot House/Overair
Fasttrack/Black Roritchi (or "Lorricci". Could be Italian...)
Kingdom
Paleotrex/Transmutate/Skelivore
Ractonite/Tricranius
Wingfinger
3 Weaponizer-type molds in each line... I'm very skeptical about a fourth. Then there's the fact a Brunt redeco as Metrotank, originally a redeco of Slammer, appeared in one of the mangas, so grasping at straws if anything else.
The listing currently shows the big bot as "Coming Soon", though a little more digging into the listing reveals that RedCard holders get early access to preorder through 24 July, and that all guests (not just RedCard holders) will be able to order him on July 25th
I dunno, the leaks were pretty specific. The guy in question leaked Slammer before the Walmart listing (I think he got to look at the instructions), and specifically called out his status as a Weaponizer and the fact that he had some sort of cool chainsaw/shield weapon.

Re - Slammer: I thought the same [reference to him potentially being a Warpath retool] til I saw his engineering prototype pics, he looks very different almost more like airwave.
I'm picking him up for his cool chainsaw tank tread shield weapon alone.
Slammer:
Not super interested in this one, but he looks much more accurate than I expected. Appears to be almost completely a new mold. No obvious signs of shared engineering with Warpath, apart from the fact they both have treads and are tanks.
Neither did any of the Weaponizers/Modulators except for SixgunBounti76 wrote:The only thing G1 Slammer ever transformed into besides its tank mode was a tower in Metroplex's city mode, so he doesn't really have any history as a Weaponizer style figure

So has anyone with a Redcard actually been able to figure out how to order? I have one, but can't seem to find a way to pre-order.

I have a RedCard, but he's not available for me to pre-order, even when I'm logged in. I think it's just a case of the listing being put up, but not yet active.

There were some leaked listings a month or so ago with a Kingdom Voyager Blaster. A couple of leakers said afterwards that some of the next trilogy's figures were being shuffled into a Kingdom Wave 5 a la Siege and Earthrise, but I don't remember if there were any others besides Blaster.william-james88 wrote:Autobot N wrote:For me, it's Blaster, Slammer, and Pipes, in that orderwilliam-james88 wrote:Of the toys yet to be shown for Kingdom, which are you most excited to see?

Man, sometimes I lose sight of things, how is Blaster coming within the kingdom line?

There is no head retooling. There was supposed to be, but Hasbro goofed and used the same head as Megatron instead of the new one they made for T-Wrecks. As such, this is a straight redeco.DeathReviews wrote:Not sure I understand the appeal for this one. Different colors and a slight head remolding hardly seems to make this figure worth all the anticipation. Sure we all love tyrannosaurs, but they're treating T-Wrecks with as much buzz as if they were making the Centurion Drone accessories pack available again.....
I believe he also mentioned Slammer's tank cannon being able to be arm-mounted in robot mode like a Megatron fusion cannon, which would be absolutely impossible for the Warpath mold.Autobot N wrote:I dunno, the leaks were pretty specific.

Surprisingly, Tigatron is a Voyager instead of a Deluxe, so it will be a new mold, not a remold of Cheetor.

basically those who remember the toy from 2000, as he was portrayed in fiction as the leader of the Beast Machines Maximal/Dinobots Sub-Group

Oddly enough, I recall that Magmatron was an exclusive to Target at that time, but I think the original T-Wrecks was regular retail correct? - He was the only one I never wanted. I wanted all the others because it was a less expensive way to get several of the BW Neo Destrons' (albeit colored different)
Kinda hard to tell, but the detailing didn't really match up with what's on the Instructions (the part glossary for the Weapon Modes), turns out the shins were switched going by the curvature of the knees.william-james88 wrote:Man, so glad I chose to skip this Rhinox and just stick to my T30 one
