Shattered Glass Wheeljack, Ultra Magnus, Blaster and Soundwave Coming in 2022

Magnus is definitely going to be a Siege/Kingdom repaint (as he appears in issue#1). Hopefully he'll have a face ripped off somewhere, but I might have to get two to turn one into Delta Magnus/Powered Convoy.

There is a rumored Laser Optimus Prime so it's equally likely he could use that mold too.

Possibly, but I'm going to stick with what's on the printed page.

They are not equally likely.

Shaterred Glass magnus with his Siege body already appeared in the Shaterred glass comic made to accompany these new toys.

So the odds skew in one's favour.

If they didn't do the more obviously accurate mold for Megatron, they're not gonna do it for Ultra Magnus

Plus, looking just at the logistics of everything, using a mold they are currently done with is a hell of a lot easier than one they still need to use for the main intended release that already has a second use planned.

That's what I think.

I have no attachment to SG Magnus as a Laser Optimus repaint. None. Laser Optimus and Black Convoy, though, are a different story. The reason SG Ultra Magnus was a repaint of Laser Optimus back then is because that's what the then recent Optimus was. Just like Blurr is nothing like his 'old' SG self, Magnus doesn't need to be his old SG self. I would prefer that he isn't, personally. None of the SG figures released with WFC molds are, yet we're battling against logic for Ultra Magnus to be and he's been 'seen', even if only in shadow to this point in the comic. We all know whatever IDW is doing with this is coordinated heavily with whatever Hasbro is doing. We know Hasbro / Takara needs to get the most mileage out of these molds. If SG UM is the Kingdom version of the mold, that will be the second use of that mold which hasn't been repainted for any reason as yet.

Seems like a lay up to me. :/

Considering I never got a version of the Magnus or Soundwave mold, and I don't intend to get Blaster, the SG repaints work out for me here. I hope wheeljack ends up looking nice to justify the 3rd use of that mold for my shelves

At this point I'd say it can go either way regarding choice of mold. We'll find out soon enough though, no doubt a leaker will get eyes on them, then we'll have more information to go on.

They'll surprise us by making it a Delta Magnus-colored Siege/Kingdom Ultra Magnus whose cab robot, when his armor is removed, is revealed to also be a skull-faced Delta Magnus-colored Laser OP underneath the armor. They'll make the Laser OP mold backwards-compatible with the Magnus Armor. Everyone wins!

I know you're joking, but if that actually happened...it would have many eating their hats

All but the people complaining about Delta Magnus having the wrong type of truck form.

Pretty much the same email they sent on Transmutate. Same thing happened on the order and Pulse Listing, no changes for a couple days until they actually started shipping. My guess is they ship out Friday/Saturday.
