Calling it

And I'm calling store exclusives at that.

The FOC Wreckers were recolors with retools and those were not store exclusives.

Hoping they are Walmart store exclusives. Just so they don't sit on pegs at all retail stores and prevent new CW sculpts from getting stocked everywhere.

If I had to pick a dream team of 16 new CW deluxes and 4 new CW Voyagers. It would be Predaking, Superion, Computron and 1985 Bruticus.

Normally I'd pick Menasor and Devastator but I already have FP Menasor and MT Green Giant.
Yes I'm aware there will be a CW Menasor. Also read the rumors of a CW Titan class Devastator. Even though I have the 3rd party toys, Still plan to buy the HasTak CW versions. due to the low USA retail toy prices.

If HasTak ever decides to recolor the FOC Combaticons in 1985 toy colors. I'll buy them and won't have a need for CW Combaticons. If HasTak increased the TFP Terrorcons to all deluxe toys that formed a 10 to 12 inch Abonimus, I Won't need a CW Abonimus.

What little doubt I had of Silverbolt has completely been erased. It's going to be a very, very, very long wait to get my grubby little hands on him, the Aerialbots, and the Stunticons.

I like Optimus Prime much more than when he was first announced, but if I'm to get this, it won't be as Optimus Prime. Though I do wish the slots for the tabs on those panels on his legs that give him the appearance of beef were located where it would have the legs appear closer to the crotch (if that makes any sense). It would look more streamlined and less squat.

That said, this is the one time I actually want a cheeky Ultra Magnus redeco of this fella. That, or throw some black on him, darken the red and blue, and call it an update to Energon Optimus Prime. I've already got a Classics Optimus, so me getting this guy as is would be redundant for me.

If we believe the insane speculation and poorly re-colored/edited cg pics, then EVERY combiner besides the Aerialbots will have a main body based on the Prime/Motor-Master mold, including Prowl and his team and that combination wouldn't make for a Titan class figure. Certainly not with Prowl as a proper head even with 5 Constructicons making the body parts, which the speculation pics don't even allow for. I'm calling complete and total b.s. on all of those rumors. Hasbro JUST pulled off something cool here being in collaboration with IDW and making cool toys that coincide with the upcoming comic arc (or vice-versa) and I would hope and pray that they aren't actually stupid enough to reuse a mold that many times for the core gimmick of this new line. That's marketing suicide and I'll straight up tell them to take all their CW figures and shove them up their *** right now if that's what they are going to do.
I wan't that Voyager Prime in the worst way right now and it's going to suck if, 6 months from now, I see it... IN THE WORST WAY: recolored 7 different times with a cheaply re-tooled head each time.

Now as for those Terrorcons you mentioned, I'm right there with you. It's what they should have done during the TFP line and it would have been so easy for them to do it. They pulled it off, poorly, with the Legends class figures so I don't see why they couldn't have done it with the Deluxe class. They still have the molds so I won't consider it cheating if they go back and re-tool those molds and re-release the figures instead of giving us new molds of the figures. I'd be quite happy with that.

You could use him for Ginrai, or rename him "Grand Convoy" in honor of the Energon guy ('specially with that homage in his chest).

DAMMIT, DON'T TELL ME THAT! It'll give me an excuse!

The toy's combiner chest actually does appear to be a dual homage to both of those guys:

Watch Takara take advantage of the dual-homage by coloring the entire combiner chest, both inside and out, in solid silver chrome.

I'm just happy that the recent in-hand combined image shows Skydive with his legs collapsed. Gets rid of the one major issue I had with these.

Oh Hasbro, you crazy kids and your GI Joe homages.

Someone did mention that a few pages back and it was completely ignored

Everything else, while potentially pretty, I'm really not that fussed about.

Hahaha, it is very easy to read the mind of this certain comic book fan. But wouldnt he have to be Voyager size for that, if the rumour circulating is correct?

Yea, especially if the Titan Class Devastator 6-figure voyager gift set rumor is true...

Folks tell me I'm wrong but I got a bad feeling. The last time a new line first appeared overseas was Prime First Editions, if you remember they then showed up in Canada which is around the time we found out the wave 2 FE figures (Cliffjumper) wouldn't be released in the US. Is it possible that there's little to no interest in CW from US retailers and this line will end up an overseas exclusive?
