Ironhide has a new head and a pelvic region that closely resembles the animation models. While there were some issues with panel fitting on my copy, overall, Ironhide is a decent figure that complements the other G1 Core Class figures.

Core 86 Ironhide, Deluxe WFC Bee & Barricade, Voyager WFC Optimus, & Leader 86 Snarl is Wave 2, the current wave. Then according to the store listings:Till-all-R1 wrote:Yes, but when? I don't even know what the current wave is. lol

-Wave 3 is Core DotM Bee, Deluxe WFC Cliffjumper, Deluxe 86 Brawn, Voyager RotB Rhinox, and Voyager WFC Megatron, which should be revealed & put up for preorder within the month considering the pipeline reveals from last month, those recent leaks of Megs & Rhinox in-package, and the Entertainment Earth drop zone teasing WFC figures going up for order Tuesday of next week.
-Wave 4 is I believe Core 86 Frenzy, some currently codenamed/unknown Core RotB characters (unless those got silently scrapped/shifted), Deluxe RotB Mirage (who we saw a render for from a Porsche event I think?), Wheeljack, & Nightbird, Voyager 86 Ratchet, and Leader RotB Primal.

Naturally. G1 Ultra Magnus was a thick and chunky boi.Till-all-R1 wrote:I realized it the other day when looking at Kingdom's side profile and how thick/chunky it is with the trailer attachments. Particularly the legs,

Commander Optimus for 2024 is a distinct possibility, especially considering that Hasbro already confirmed that the next HasLab for the 40th anniversary will not be an Optimus, gun Megatron, or another Victory character.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:Realized while out of the house that I forgot the most important one for this thread in my release schedule reminder: based off last time we heard anything about him from JTPrime/anyone credible, SS86 Commander Ultra Magnus is slotted for an October release, so he'll probably be revealed alongside Wave 4 assuming nothing has changed.
What do we think, Commander Magnus in 2023, Commander Optimus Prime in 2024 for the 40th (take a deep breath), and finally Commander Power Master Optimus Prime in 2025? Plenty of room for repaints along the way too.
Well Powermaster OP wouldn't exactly fit in SS86, so he'd have to be the Commander release for whatever-line-follows-Legacy (and I would hate to see effectively 3 straight years of Commander Optimus's across Generations lines), but I would be absolutely shocked if an SS86 Commander Optimus DOESN'T happen next year, it seems like the lowest-hanging fruit possible.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:Realized while out of the house that I forgot the most important one for this thread in my release schedule reminder: based off last time we heard anything about him from JTPrime/anyone credible, SS86 Commander Ultra Magnus is slotted for an October release, so he'll probably be revealed alongside Wave 4 assuming nothing has changed.
