His overall shape and proportions remind me of Combiner Wars Rook. His chest even looks like he has a CW Combiner port in his belly (but he really doesn't, it just looks like he does).

He reminds me more of ER Airwave myself. Can't wait to see him next to his old pal Sixgun.

With some neat Repaint, he looks like Doomguy from Doom (since the head is too similar to doomguy)

Awesome been waiting for this. I can't wait to see how he interacts with T30 Metroplex. Airwave was my first thought as far as similarities as well. But I can see some CW likeness as well. This is the only wave 4 I am for sure getting. Can't wait to see better pics.

My first thought was a newer, tougher Autorooper. But I certainly get the Rook vibe, what with his only being able to hold weapons pegged onto the front of his non-fists.
My second thought was that we could possibly use a bigger, better Scamper than what came with our first Titan. Maybe.

Definitely want a new Scamper. I wasn't happy with the one that came with Metroplex to begin with, but when the rest of the Titans came with larger bots...
That hinge in his belly is promising since on the original that was how his tower folded out. Looking forward to seeing more, especially with his arms facing the right way.

Definitely liking Slammer, though with this leak, we now know what W4 looks like without any official confirmation. Leaks are super lame, they take away from official reveal events

Our first look at wave 4 (and slammer) was on Hasbro's official site.

Hasbro knows what's been leaked and they aren't doing a single thing to get ahead of them. This tells me they don't care and don't think of us as a significant enough group to be bothered by if we're "spoiled" and will do reveals for the wider audience at their leisure.

More interested in his tower/vehicle mode but at least he's looking nothing like a warpath reuse. Looks a bit generic in bot mode but that could be a good thing.

Hasbro usually, but not always, wants copies in-hand to show. They also want reveal events to lead into pre-orders. And they generally want to pace out reveals over an extended period of time. Do any of those factor into the decision? I don't know, but Hasbro controls their marketing programs but not leaks.
We've seen leaks from retailer inventory, from pre-production art, from early factory copies. I don't think it's realistic to expect them to "get ahead" of all of that. They could institute more controls like more aggressively investigating and punishing employee leakers, but even that has its limits.
I don't think Hasbro doesn't care about fans, I think fans don't care about leaks. If you don't want to see leaks before reveals, there's a simple fix: don't read leak sites. If that was a fan demand, more sites would hide images behind spoiler warnings or something. As it is, everyone is fighting to show it off, because what fans want more than no leaks is seeing everything as soon as they can.

Counterpoint: they revealed Perceptor way earlier then they normally would have, probably so they could show off a figure that hadn’t leaked yetEmerje wrote:Mindmaster wrote:Definitely liking Slammer, though with this leak, we now know what W4 looks like without any official confirmation.

Please no, I don't want him to be a Weaponizer. The Weaponizer format should really be left to new characters, drones, characters that don't have much in the way of established personalities and characters that were already partsformers in G1.

He's associated with Metroplex.. Does this hint more at a new or reissue Metroplex?
Re: First Look at Transformers Kingdom Deluxe Slammer

So far, nothing has come up other than Warden saying he wanted a go at the character a while back (then he left to take other Power Rangers). Rumours are we're getting Cybertron Metroplex though...if that's any consolidation.

Leakers said there were no plans for Metroplex, but they also said Titans were being retired, and now they say the next one is Cybertron Metroplex.
My answer? Who knows
