More Listings for Upcoming Toys Include lots of Smaller Shockwave figures and Iguanus

The listings keep piling on and these come from JT Prime17. Fellow Seibertronian Nemesis Primal reported these to us. It seems there will be two core class Shockwaves, one in each mainline that has collectors in mind (Legacy and Studio Series).

-Core Class Skywarp ($9.99)
-Core Class Shockwave ($9.99)
-Core Class Shockwave ($8.49)
-Core Class Iguanus ($9.99)
-Deluxe Class Energon Monster ($22.99)

So there's a Legacy AND an SS Core Shockwave, and a Core Iguanus


From the rumours we hear, the core class Iguanus figure would be an homage to the Pretender figure and not the Beast Wars character. for those unfamiliar with that design, we have a link to the gallery below.

The Energon Monster would be the gimmick for the next line, replacing Fossilisers and Weaponisers.

Also Deluxe Wild Rider and Voyager "Jhaxus" (Jhiaxus).

EDIT: THEY DON'T STOP.
-Deluxe Elita-1 ($22.99, leakers say it's a retool of a different figure who has a siren and NOT a Netflix rerelease)
-Deluxe Crankcase ($22.99, hooray for Scavengers fans and also Thew)
-Deluxe Pointblank ($22.99)

And to top it all off, one of the leakers accidentally outright said the Titan is Cybertron Metroplex.

Specifically, it's the the shell as the robot mode and the inner figure's motorcycle mode as the vehicle.

Excited for Elita 1 since I didn't want the one from wfc trilogy
Crankcase should be interesting

Could just be a reissue of that one, like Soundwave.

JtPrime said it was a redeco of a figure with sirens. Whether that's Prowl, Minerva, or Red Alert, he didn't elaborate on IIRC.

Hopefully the leakers are right and it's a retool of a different figure instead, maybe the prime arcee

SS core Shockwave is really interesting. I was sure it was going to be for 86, but if there's a legacy one too then the SS one probably isn't G1 styled. . .

What if it's a core class DOTM Shockwave that will scale with an upcoming Driller? :-?

But then, what would the Driller transform into?

I sure hope not. As someone who was born after G1 and therefore missed it entirely, I'm a lot more interested in seeing these characters and their core gimmicks updated than merely referenced.
And if it is BW instead, I'll be able to satisfy my great regret of never buying its Transmetal II figure.

These listings are a bit all over the place. From all the ones I wrote above (which I think is complete for now), which are from Legacy?

If they're slightly lower than the normal price ($8 for Core), they're Studio Series.

That's a good question! I'm really not sure, maybe it folds out into some kind of base mode?

Is Elita-1 the new Windblade? I miss when Windblade was Windblade. I have and appreciate the TR version, but I was really expecting one in WfC.

Exactly, Target appears to retail it's SS products for lower based on the listings that did specify line. If it helps to break it down more specifically:
Legacy: Core = $9.99, Deluxe = $22.99, Voyager = $29.99 (all of the Leaders leaked so far are Legacy so I'm stopping here)
Studio Series: Core = $8.49, Deluxe = $19.99, Voyager = $26.99

If all of this is correct, I currently plan to get:
Dragon Megatron
Laser Prime
Jhiaxus
Probably the Energon Monsters, but I'll need to see them first
Maybe Drag Strip
Tarantulus
Crankcase
Maybe Core Shockwave and Skywarp
Core Rumble if he's blue

And if rumors without listings count, Nightbeat and Minerva

For those who are interested in the G1 figures on that list that will have new molds,
does anyone think we’ll see little to no Siege greebling?
I’m hoping this is the case, & that we start seeing more figures with a cleaner look as with Cyclones, Scourge, Hot Rod, Wreck-gar, etc.
To be consistent it seems like the other 3 Dinobots will have greebling…
I’m just hoping that lessens (or completely goes away) with the other G1 characters
Imo it doesn’t add anything… It looks overly busy and unnecessary.

How can a legacy character ( as in the term and not the new toyline) be the "new" version of a fan made character from a few years ago?

That's like asking if Uhura is the new 7 of 9....it just makes no sense. Windblade got all kinds of exposure in Cyberverse. I'm actually glad newer characters like Drift and Windblade are getting a break. I personally never cared for them. I'm sure there will be new toys in some future line.
