Next Hasbro Pulse Premium Member Live Stream Scheduled for 10 / 27

For the sake of keeping expectations reasonable, options we know of for what could potentially be shown here, based on the scope of what they showed before:
-Mystery Selects figures (we know at least a Deluxe and Titan should be happening next year, but not who)
-Legacy Minerva (still hasn't been officially revealed or put up for official US orders, despite being available in several other countries already)
-Legacy? Magnificus (we know it exists and is already in production but only have rumors of how it's releasing)
-BB SS Hatchet & Hound (about half of the BB stuff that's part of Legacy or SS have received official announcements/preorders, so it's a real coin flip here)
-Legacy Evolution Prime Skyquake (notably absent from the Pulsecon reveals)
-Whatever the "secret" of Legacy Evolution Needlenose's mold is (they've teased that there is a secret to that mold twice now between Pulsecon and a recent BTS post)

I would expect only one of these if any, maybe two of them if they're just individual figures.

They also said that about Tarn.

Normally it's at NYCC (which has come and gone) that the next Titan is teased so we're due for that reveal as well. Hopefully they aren't going to continue to do them really late like they did with Metroplex (April of the same release year) so it can be leaked by store buyers first.

We're also due for the next Collaborative announcement.

There's also the rumored remaster of the WFC/FOC games, but they probably wont announce that (if it's happening) until they announce the figures.

...this is the first I've heard of the games getting remastered and now I'm gonna be sad if it doesn't happen.

This is my first time hearing about the games being remastered too, and I really hope it's true. Maybe they're gonna do some "trilogy" release to have WfC, FoC, and RotDS all in one package.

I feel like it'd make sense to rerelease them or even remaster them to help sell some toys from some old games that people mayyyyy not remember. (Not that that is really necessary but I'm taking whatever excuse I can get!)

I don't think either of these are likely, Armada Prime seems like he would be saved for a bigger stream with the rest of Wave 2 and we still have to see Prime Skyquake before Armada Megatron.

He also did not make the poster, which is concerning, and we got a previously unknown Prime instead.

Wonder why he hasn’t yet been shown at all.

Is it really that odd?
Last year's Pulsecon showed Wave 1 of Legacy minus the Core Class, and the poster only featured G1 Optimus and Megatron (despite Optimus only getting a Core repack and Megs not even being in the line) and Legacy Wave 1 minus the Leader class.
This year's Pulsecon gave us Wave 1 of Legacy Evolution minus the Leader Class (which was said to be due to some sort of delay, and even if it hadn't been delayed it likely would have only been Skyquake), and the poster showed characters from 3 different waves of LE plus 3 characters from last year, with likely teases of the Commander and Titan figures no less.
Seems pretty equivalent to me in terms of reveals, almost skewing more in favor of this year due to the content of the poster. Why would Armada Megs not being in there make it concerning? I don't remember people being concerned about Blitzwing when he wasn't present at Pulsecon in any way.

They did? I remembered them saying that about the Tarn-looking face on the Evolution poster, but not Tarn himself.

It's hard to say because they started talking about the poster by saying they're officially confirming that's Tarn's face and then quickly shifted to saying maybe not. But it would be would for them to leave Tarn off the poster all together so it's easy to conclude that Tarn has something to do with that face even if it isn't actually his.

BTW, rewatching the PulseCon presentation they specifically say they didn't reveal a leader because the pandemic is preventing them from doing a new Leader figure until wave 2 and that there would be plenty of Dragon Megatrons still on the shelves. Judging from the poster they're just going to repack Laser Prime and maybe someone else and call it good.

I believe they said they're doing a "big reveal" at MCM London, which is the day after this stream, so I would think the Titan would be there at the con rather than on the limited-access livestream.

That's entirely possible, though in years past it was literally just a tease rather than a full reveal. We got Predaking's wings, Trypticons leg, and a gray model of Lord Zarak in past years, I wouldn't expect anything more than that this early.

I can't remember exactly where the rumor came from, it might qualify more as wild fan speculation. High Moon is still around so it isn't entirely impossible.

Makes sense.

Its really odd, though, its taken so long to see Megatron. We’ve gotten things from the same listings and things we never even knew about and still Megs is a mystery.

Nothing is concerning, the answer to all your questions is because he's wave 2 and not wave 1. They revealed Legacy wave 2 in April 2022. So only start getting concerned if you don't see Armada Megatron after April 2023.

O.k. I’ll wait to be concerned until then. I guess i can be mildly annoyed that we have not seen him yet, for now.

Not that I know of, wave 1 is all rereleases of the previous year.

Yes, since then I posted, "BTW, rewatching the PulseCon presentation they specifically say they didn't reveal a leader because the pandemic is preventing them from doing a new Leader figure until wave 2 and that there would be plenty of Dragon Megatrons still on the shelves."

The stream premiere is up on Youtube but hasn't started yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-tJqD8UECc
Stream should be accessible to anyone, but the preorders will still be behind Premium at least initially.
EDIT: They put up a schedule, Transformers are second-to-last.

Wow!!!!!!! Loving that Haslab Deathsaururs with breast… errr chest-masters.

$180 is not terrible. Will go well with Star Saber.
