UPC Codes for Upcoming 2018 Transformers Movie Toyline Hints at Another Leader Figure and More Toys

The Fallen perhaps? Or maybe finally give us that Leader Bonecrusher we've always wanted?

Emerje

Hmm, maybe components for Devastator?

I would see it as another Barricade, Bonecrusher, Sideswipe, better scaled Twins, screen accurate Soundwave, AOE Hound retool from the TLK version.

Would love a leader bonecrusher! Long Haul could also definitely be cool, but Bonecrusher or Blackout are who I'd like to see stand alongside Leader brawl.

Having not saw TFTLK, I am not sure of the fate of Hot Rod , who was introduced in the film. If he ultimately becomes Rodimus Prime that(not blowing the surprise of that event on screen too soon)would be a practical reason to keep a future Rodimus Prime Leader Class toy a secret for now. JMO, and pure speculation.

Thanks for having me here!

Decepticons, Forever!!!

Hot Rod isn't like his original form, but then again, neither were Energon Rodimus or half of Animated Rodimus. While I would like to seem more influences in him, I'm glad he's not a copy and paste of the original guy just for nostalgia. But if he does become a Prime, maybe it'd happen in an animated film. But back to this line, I would love to see a more exclusive mold of him!

Maybe it could be onslaught, we never did get a figure of him in the last knight line, though I would really like to see a new long haul figure, I love his design and I never could get my hands on that original revenge of the fallen voyager one.

Imagine this: remember that Cybertron's most wanted botcon set with the movie Megatron? Well, in his universe, he killed both Optimus and Sentinel in DotM, took over Earth, and eventually fell at the hands of Rodimus Prime, which is how he ended up with the CMW crew.

Now think about that again: in that universe, he may possibly have been facing off against a French-accented Prime.

Hasbro welcomed a few chinese fans, those who won this contest, to their Shanghai offices to handle the upcoming 2018 toys. One particular fan, Iamnofire shared his thoughts on weibo concerning these new toys.

Firstly, it seems the leaders, Grimlock and Blackout, will look a lot like their on screen apparances but have very easy transformations. This was hinted at with the bigger panels present on leader Blackout in the leaked images with his feet resembling Leader Ironihide's. The transformation might be on par with that release in terms of complexity. The fan comments on the great deco and paint on Grimlock but says that the weapon (hammer) can not be removed due to transformation. Grimlock's T-Rex mode is said to be about 40 cm long but hollowed out at the bottom. Blackout will come with a small Scorponok (pictured below).

Voyager Optimus Prime has a similar Transformation and design to MPM-4 (and thus Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime) with good poseability. Starscream will come with his rotor blade (also pictured below) and the design of the toy is similar to the Dark of the Moon deluxe.

Keep in mind, these points are translated from Chinese so some parts may be lost or misinterpreted.

BOUGHT!
