Transformers Kingdom Golden Disk Set 1 Revealed to be Puffer and Road Ranger

Thank you . But "coming soon" is a pretty generic name for the other chapters.

At least in the original Shattered Glass universe.

SG Huffer is Movie Armorhide colors.

Don't forget that SG Wheeljack is also rumored for the SG line, which would already be Slicer colored.

That is true, but Hasbro may choose to go a different way with Shattered Glass Wheeljack. The SG figures released so far tend to eschew the alt modes they had in the Fun Pub stories and toys and instead repaint the G1 character. SG Megatron is the exception so far with his extra kibble and alternate transformation scheme. SG Ratchet’s colors are very different too from that 2-pack last year. Who’s to say that Hasbro’s SG Wheeljack will or won’t be identical to G1 Slicer? Remember, we already have Kingdom Road Rage on the way soon. Will Hasbro skip SG Tracks altogether just because the colors have already been used or will they come up with something different? I figure Hasbro would be happy to give us new SG decos so as not to lock out other potential uses of any given mold.

Road Ranger after randomly being transported to prehistoric Earth:

Amazon and Pulse say there are 4 packs, and we had 4 listings (Terrorsaur, "Ranger/Puffer", Jackpot, & Tigatron) but this one was the only one to mention multiple figures in the listing, so if they are all multipacks then we only know at most half of each set's contents.

Actually, I think this reveal along with the packaging show us the other 3 may end up being single figures, or figures with extras. Look at the photo of the 4 packages making up the golden disc. This set is by far the largest box by area on the side they are using. I would expect the others to be single figures, but possibly with extras.

Unfortunately, looking at them altogether now I fear you may be correct. I've ordered many Selects, and the size of the deluxe box has been the same since the first 2 (Riccochet & red Swoop) in 2019. However with the Cenution Drone last year, and Tricranius this year, we see they can add a whole accessories pack, and still not change the size of the box. The box for deluxes could *technically* be smaller. I would not be surprised if we saw that change occur starting with any future Selects after WFC is done.

But the first box (bottom right) is defintely the biggest. The 2 on the left will be deluxes, and the one on top-right will be the Voyager. Oh well...so much for these all being multi-packs

Ratchet was a Selects though, not part of the proper Shattered Glass line. Everyone in the SG line has had accurate color schemes down to Blurr's lightning tats, just on the mold of their G1 self, so I'd be surprised if Wheeljack was the one deviation from that.

I think they're gonna skip SG Tracks because of not only that, but also the fact that SG was basically just a panel-filler goon for Magnus that never did anything notable or memorable. Wheeljack, Blurr, Ratchet, etc. at least got to do stuff within their various appearances that would drive interest in new ones, Tracks seems a bit too unimportant to be considered for this (especially when compared to some of their other remaining options like Grimlock, Rodimus, & Sideswipe).

It really comes down to which is more accurate, that picture (which could potentially be a placeholder like the Wheeljack pic) or the fact that all of the language in these set descriptions matches how they described the GO sets, which were all multiple figures.

We know from the Amazon AU listing that at some point Nightprowler was meant to be paired with Sideswipe and the price was originally the same as the Mirage and Grimlock until they corrected it meaning it was priced for one Deluxe and one Voyager so it's possible that Nightprowler was meant to be a Voyager Tigatron repaint instead of Deluxe Cheetor. And honestly I'd rather have a new character than an old character in different colors any day. I'm probably wrong, it'll probably be orange, but I really want to be right this time.

As someone who also wants you to be right: why would the listing just call it Tigatron then?

Name recognition? I mean they couldn't even let Puffer be his own character without a convoluted back story. Plus there's also the negative connotations of "night prowler" which is often synonymous with murder and rape.

Emerje

...but if they could use the Nightprowler name in the listing for the Sideswipe one, shouldn't that mean that connotations aren't an issue? And even though yeah, they came up with the fusion backstory for Puffer, it's not like that's on the box anywhere, you'd only get that info if you read that description. To the uninformed Amazon shopper who sees the listing, it's just a new character named Puffer. Having one of the exclusives be called "Nightprowler Tigatron" or something as it's name in the listing and on the box, on the other hand, would eliminate some of those potential customers who would see the listing and say "Whoever I'm buying this for already has a Tigatron, don't need this", as opposed to if they just named it Nightprowler and then had the product description say he used to be Tigatron or whatever.

In other news, someone figured out where the Wheeljack silhouette is from, and wouldn't you know it it's the same image the Bee and Sideswipe ones were from: So Wheeljack confirmed to be a placeholder, in case that was still in question.

Using Nightprowler on a listing so early the figure didn't even show up in the box doesn't necessarily mean they were going to keep the name to the end either, it just means the character was planned at some point. I'm not saying it'll happen, just saying don't be surprised if it does since everyone seems to think Tigatron will either be orange or pure white (or a Ravage repaint, but I don't think he alone fits the price point).

Emerje

I preordered the pair, they look neat! Road Ranger has sharp colors, and Puffer's story plus an IDW Pipes head just add icing to the cake. Puffer will gladly chill with Tigerhawk!
