I agree. I think something changed last year rather than because of the virus. However as late as the end of April the official TF Facebook page posted that image of the Earthrise map that had four waves shown on it. But then, keeping the packaging gimmick in line with the actual toys has been a problem for Hasbro for years.
ID's release list says August/Sept for wave 2 deluxes, which is probably out by a month from July/August based on the original release dates with some places getting an earlier supply in June, but Wave 3 October being three months later is about right for what it would always have been.

I never even saw the map in with Cliffjumper. No idea about it, so in the bin it went, unheeded and unheralded...

If the map thing isn't mentioned on the outside box then many buyers won't know it's there! The same sillyness happened with the Teletraan bits with Netflix deluxes.

I don't mind so much, but I did go through a bit of a thing keeping all the little cards that came with the Prime Wars toys. If I was still in that mindset, I'd be annoyed.

Looking forward to seeing what they have come up with on the BW front!
Suspect a lot of the BW Masterpieces might have been them trying out some ideas for later.

If Megatron is a Leader then hopefully a scaled down MP Megatron is feasible.
After finally seeing what they managed to do with ER Prime Im raising my expectations.
Hoping the rumour of Titan Ark or Metroplex is true. Especially the companion figure being an Action Master (now with exciting transforming feature) which Im hoping will be Mainframe.

Ark or Metroplex are my two top choices for the next Titan. I'd be happy with either.
Well, I wouldn't, obviously. I'm a Transformers fan so there's always going to be something wrong, but those are the two I'd like to see.
Glad to see Inferno in there. Blaster, Wreck-Gar and maybe an update to Blitzwing to bring the TR one up to the standard of Siege Astrotrain are what I'd like to see as Voyagers but that doesn't look likely as six new ones is probably about it for a line.
I'm interested to see the Beast stuff, but hesitant about buying in. They'll have to go some to beat T30 Rhinox.

Kingdom/SS '86 is the perfect time for Hasbro to *finally* make a Megatron that can be somehow changed into Galvatron! They won't do it, of course. But I can dream... Also possible commander class Rodimus that makes no sense, unless thats the only way to get the robot mode to scale with a Leader class Galvatron. If the Galvatron was to have fewer add ons to allow for a larger robot mode, it would be hard to ake a Rodimus the same size in robot mode that also had the full size trailer too. Even so it would have to come with a tonne of add ons to bring him up to Commander class. |

Deluxe Warpath!
Interesting... We may get Shockprowl buying more toys yet.
Core Prime should be the bat one?

Lets face it though, CW warpath sucks, so there is really no choice but to get Kingdom Deluxe Warpath.

Unless one already has Generations Warpath, which was already perfect and cannot be improved upon.
(My CW warpath got repurposed into pre-beast Razorbeast and thus achieved perfection in itçs own right)

The Generations deluxe was a nightmare to find. I could never find one so gave up. So the chance of a new Warpath I might be able to get is of considerable interest to me.

i guess the question is is this deluxe Warpath or “deluxe” Warpath? Would they start working through the minibots again so they fit in better with Cliffjumper et al?

It'll need to be good to top the Generations one, but a more accurate tank mode would do that. Slightly smaller robot too.

Core - the new Legends/Basic class So Legend becomes Micromaster becomes Core. This is all the $9.99 price point isn't it? So given they haven't gone back to using Legend, does that tell us Core is abitsmallerthanlegend class? Hmm. I already miss Micromasters and we haven't had the last pair yet. |
