The only thing we know is that these toys exist.

And the only things that exist, are things that we know.

The product pages on the sites say end of year/Jan, but both ID and Kapow have said via FB that they're expecting the first figures end of Nov for shipping first week Dec. Amazon's dates are always a few months behind them. Traditionally, we would be expecting the first wave of the year to be shipping first week of Dec. That's usual. Not a usual year though...

Hmmm. Do I pre-order now then, rather than wait until the New Year? Just in case they never appear anywhere..?

They will, they're retail. Also, no one has been specific about which size classes they're expecting; we never get them all at once. It's usually the bigguns first. Deluxes seem to have trailed behind this year.

Exvee on RFC this week was saying there are some retailers (unspecified where, presumably Asia) selling the core class now and he's bought wave one. He's doing galleries: www.playwithphotography.com/ |

OK.... Warpath, Cheetor, Blackarachnia and Paleotrex - not listed above - have been revealed as Kingdom deluxe w1. Arcee and Ractonite have been leaked so they look like two of the w2 deluxe. Which leaves us with DELUXE
Huffer
Pipes
Wheeljack
Tracks
Slammer
Shadow Panther
Waspinator
Airrazor
Scorponok
DELUXE - FOSSILIZERS
Wingfinger - Pteranodon
Catbone What are the other two w2 deluxe then? Well it won't be a Fossiliser - we can cross them off the list thanks to Ractonite being in the wave anyway - there's also rumours that Catbone has been canned like (allegedly) Gears and Polar Claw were. It's unlikely to be Wheeljack, two Earthrise re releases would turn the wave into retail poison. It's unlikely to be Airazor, as I suspect the female releases will be spread out. So now we're left with DELUXE
Huffer
Pipes
Tracks
Slammer
Shadow Panther
Waspinator
Scorponok Given there's two uses of the mould I'd suggest one of Huffer or Pipes is likely to be one of the toys. We'll say Huffer, as he's the original. I'd say a third car in the wave is unlikely, which leaves one of the Predacon beasts. Shadow Panther I think will come later, Cheetor repaint. Neither Siege or Earthrise has gone repaint as early as w2. One of Waspinator or Scorponok...... I'd put my money on Waspinator. More recognisable and an easy pickings Selects repaint. So....w2 Arcee (Earthrise rerelease)
Ractonite
Huffer
Waspinator leaving us with the following for waves 3 & 4 (& 5?) Pipes
Wheeljack
Tracks
Slammer
Shadow Panther
Airrazor
Scorponok
DELUXE - FOSSILIZERS
Wingfinger - Pteranodon
Catbone A quick countup says 9 figures there. If there are only 2 more waves that would lend credence to the "Catbone is cancelled" rumours reducing the deluxe to 8 and 2 waves of 4 |

It'll be interesting to see if we get enough Fossils to make the idea worthwhile.

When you look at representation in the show, there were only two fuzors (silverbolt and quickstrike), seven transmetals (optimus, rattrap, cheetor, megatron, tarantulas, rampage, depth charge), and five transmetal 2s (cheetor, blackarachnia, dinobot II, megatron, tigerhawk).
And one Optimal Optimus, because that's all the Optimal we deserved.
Back then we couldn't have handled more than three fossilizers.

THAT'S the Studio Series Grimlock?!?!
My Godfathers I thought it was the Masterpiece!
At least the Dinobot Road will be paved with gold.

So which one's bigger? Both? Neither? It's a scale comparison between two things and I have a frame of reference for neither of them!

That's looking to be a pretty decent sized figure - maybe even worth the "leader" tag.
