The listings keep piling on and these come from JT Prime17. Fellow Seibertronian Nemesis Primal reported these to us. It seems there will be two core class Shockwaves, one in each mainline that has collectors in mind (Legacy and Studio Series).

Nemesis Primal wrote:More new listings:
-Core Class Skywarp ($9.99)
-Core Class Shockwave ($9.99)
-Core Class Shockwave ($8.49)
-Core Class Iguanus ($9.99)
-Deluxe Class Energon Monster ($22.99)

So there's a Legacy AND an SS Core Shockwave, and a Core Iguanus


From the rumours we hear, the core class Iguanus figure would be an homage to the Pretender figure and not the Beast Wars character. for those unfamiliar with that design, we have a link to the gallery below.

The Energon Monster would be the gimmick for the next line, replacing Fossilisers and Weaponisers.

Also Deluxe Wild Rider and Voyager "Jhaxus" (Jhiaxus).

EDIT: THEY DON'T STOP.
-Deluxe Elita-1 ($22.99, leakers say it's a retool of a different figure who has a siren and NOT a Netflix rerelease)
-Deluxe Crankcase ($22.99, hooray for Scavengers fans and also Thew)
-Deluxe Pointblank ($22.99)

And to top it all off, one of the leakers accidentally outright said the Titan is Cybertron Metroplex.

JtPrime said it was a redeco of a figure with sirens. Whether that's Prowl, Minerva, or Red Alert, he didn't elaborate on IIRC.

Hopefully the leakers are right and it's a retool of a different figure instead, maybe the prime arcee

SS core Shockwave is really interesting. I was sure it was going to be for 86, but if there's a legacy one too then the SS one probably isn't G1 styled. . .

What if it's a core class DOTM Shockwave that will scale with an upcoming Driller? :-?

I sure hope not. As someone who was born after G1 and therefore missed it entirely, I'm a lot more interested in seeing these characters and their core gimmicks updated than merely referenced.
And if it is BW instead, I'll be able to satisfy my great regret of never buying its Transmetal II figure.

If they're slightly lower than the normal price ($8 for Core), they're Studio Series.

Exactly, Target appears to retail it's SS products for lower based on the listings that did specify line. If it helps to break it down more specifically:
Legacy: Core = $9.99, Deluxe = $22.99, Voyager = $29.99 (all of the Leaders leaked so far are Legacy so I'm stopping here)
Studio Series: Core = $8.49, Deluxe = $19.99, Voyager = $26.99

If all of this is correct, I currently plan to get:
Dragon Megatron
Laser Prime
Jhiaxus
Probably the Energon Monsters, but I'll need to see them first
Maybe Drag Strip
Tarantulus
Crankcase
Maybe Core Shockwave and Skywarp
Core Rumble if he's blue

And if rumors without listings count, Nightbeat and Minerva

For those who are interested in the G1 figures on that list that will have new molds,
does anyone think we’ll see little to no Siege greebling?
I’m hoping this is the case, & that we start seeing more figures with a cleaner look as with Cyclones, Scourge, Hot Rod, Wreck-gar, etc.
To be consistent it seems like the other 3 Dinobots will have greebling…
I’m just hoping that lessens (or completely goes away) with the other G1 characters
Imo it doesn’t add anything… It looks overly busy and unnecessary.

How can a legacy character ( as in the term and not the new toyline) be the "new" version of a fan made character from a few years ago?

That's like asking if Uhura is the new 7 of 9....it just makes no sense. Windblade got all kinds of exposure in Cyberverse. I'm actually glad newer characters like Drift and Windblade are getting a break. I personally never cared for them. I'm sure there will be new toys in some future line.

Metaphors, man. He means "Is Elita the new go-to main female Autobot?" Before Windblade it was Arcee, but Elita has been the new main since POTP.

I transformed both Grimlock and Slag today and didn't notice any greebling on them. We are far from the Siege Chromia levels of that.

I was thinking SHIP because the Nemesis is a space SHIP. And SINK because it sank in the ocean in G1. But he said it's not the Nemesis. :-x

You missed the listing for Legacy Deluxe Silverstreak as an exclusive that kicked this whole thing off (and you have Blaster and Inferno in a way that makes them look like one listing), but otherwise that's everything official so far, yeah.

...I don't know what clues you were looking at, but the clues I saw initially given when the individual talking about the Titan's identity began were "BUILD" and "GIANT", and that the Titan was 100% a Unicron Trilogy character.

Also everyone is saying that's what the Titan'll be not only because of those clues, but because the guy who gave the clues made a post recapping all the listings on one of the 4 or so leaked listing threads over there, accidentally said on that list that the Titan 100% is Cybertron Metroplex, and then edited that part out after the fact, which is pretty damning.

With it all laid out like that, it seems like Legacy won't have that many non-G1 characters after all. It's just Prime Arcee and Tarantulus in Deluxe, Bulkhead, Predacon Inferno, Armada Starscream and Jhiaxus in Voyager, and Transmetal 2 Megatron in Leader. I do hope Legacy continues beyond a year and we eventually get things like Knock Out or Fuzor Silverbolt.

Looks like the Titan will be non-G1 then, where sales that good then that they nixed the plans to drop Titan for 2 Commander classes?

I'm trying to figure out how many slots are now filled for the mainline so Silverstreak was excluded.

People said that Prime and Bulkhead share a mold but are we talking about Prime from the Prime series or are we talking about the Leader Prime mold we are getting in Legacy?

The core class looks like that's what we are getting for the whole year. Are we 100% certain we are getting all the stunticons in 2022 or would the final two be in the next line? Because if we add them and the rumoured Nightbeat and Minerva, then I think we have too many deluxes. Unless Nightbeat or Minerva are exclusives.

For what class?

Voyager class. Sorry, thought I included that, but I was also just waking up so I guess I forgot that important part :lol:


We'll see if that lasts. With the voyager class getting a price bump in 2022 (we already see it for SS86 Sweep), that $26 for a voyager at Target is nearing their wholesale purchase price.

It'll last as long as Walmart keeps selling them at the same price.


Since the lower prices are only for Studio series, does that mean that Walmart sells the Kingdom deluxes and voyagers at the new higher price points?

I think we've had this disagreement before. We have different priorities and opinions, which is fine. Hasbro has to strike a balance between servicing long-term collectors and people new to the hobby. Getting into 30 year old Japanese exclusive characters is a pretty deep cut. Personally, I take a "why not both?" vote view, though of course they can only make so many toys at once.

True, however that is moot in this instance. As they are simply doing something new with the Metroplex name. Which is interesting. They haven't done that for a while.

Not exactly "new" since it's still an existing Metroplex from 2005.

...I don't know what clues you were looking at, but the clues I saw initially given when the individual talking about the Titan's identity began were "BUILD" and "GIANT", and that the Titan was 100% a Unicron Trilogy character.

Also everyone is saying that's what the Titan'll be not only because of those clues, but because the guy who gave the clues made a post recapping all the listings on one of the 4 or so leaked listing threads over there, accidentally said on that list that the Titan 100% is Cybertron Metroplex, and then edited that part out after the fact, which is pretty damning.


Yeah "BUILD" was also a clue. Somebody replied & said jokingly "you want us to build a giant sink"? So sink was a clue too. I was trying to think of something that sinks & is water based. At first I was positive it was the Nemesis. But then they said it was UT based so I thought Tidal Wave but he doesn't sink or submerge. Then I gave up.

Well, I totally hate this news but there's nothing I can do about it. I give up trying to make sense out of Hasbro. The Nemesis is a no-brainer & the obvious choice to come right after the Ark. I bet if the Ark was the titan for Earthrise we would definitely be getting the Nemesis for Kingdom. We needed the Nemesis to go with the Ark & the next titan should be a Decepticon. But I guess now the UT overrides everything else. (see what I did there? lol)

Transformers:Cybertron is my favorite series so I should be thrilled but I'm not. Metroplex was the 1 toy from the line that I hated. Does anybody really want a $200 toy of this thing? :roll:

I'll wait & see how the actual toy looks but if they really wanted to make a UT titan, Tidal Wave is a much better choice. Cybertron Metroplex was easily one of the worst toys from the line. Cool robot mode but is there anybody that actually likes his crappy alt mode? :SICK:

I guess I'm the exact opposite. Really nothing has me excited so far. I'm glad some more obscure original series characters are getting a release, although they don't interest me, and the rest just isn't for me. The Energon Monster I'll take a look at when some pictures are revealed.

Honestly in Kingdom all I have purchased are the Fossilizes, the CC (pending), and The Ark. Slammer is on my pre-order list.

But if the rumors about next years CC and Titan hold true, I can cross those off my list for the first time. Looks like I can save my money next year for (Hopefully) MP Raiden, and any intriguing Selects which may come out.

im most interested in iguanus.

i know they kinda touched on updating pretenders with prime masters but as a gimmick the pretender process is pretty much one of the few left that hasnt got a proper update.

unless your talking mega pretender stuff i dont think the shell works anymore- unless your doing amazing engeineering on it- so the idea of a vehicle to "shell look" sits well with me.

i mean hell can ya IMAGINE the bludgeon we'd get out of it?

i'd love a IDW style one of him.

theres also the fact that iguanus bugly and finback were among the figs that never got sold this side of the atlantic either, so its got a bit of a "GRAIL" factor going on.

and hey on the "neglected character" front a line of these lads would prob mean a retool of titans return SKY SHADOW to finally get us that Thunderwing update.

I don't think we're ever going to get Pretenders done right. I would want the Classic Pretenders as the model, with action figure style humanformers containing small, simplified classic characters in the torso. That would be much more interesting to me than yet another samurai Bludgeon who turns into a tank.

According to Hasbro, they already did a Titan class Nemesis:

I'd love to see this Iguanus.

Or the other redesign, Figueroa had during Stormbringer. A cross between BW and G1.
