The only thing that would excite me is a Studio Series Megatron that can be turned into Galvatron. That's what I want. And have been after since 1986. I'm not getting it. That would actually be a really clever work around. Neither particularly used their alt modes, we have a Galvatron that's perfectly serviceable, and the only really iconic thing about megatron in this movie is turning into galvatron. |

2025 Generations listings (United wave 5) www.tfw2005.com/boards/forums/transformers-news-and-rumors.318/Well people were asking where a certain 2 went. From what I can tell, this is where Note: some things are always subject to change, PR = Package Refresh. Tra Gen legacy UNI Core BW Dinobot Product Number: F8519 Tra Gen Legacy UNI Dlx G1 Sureshot Product Number: F8531 Sureshot & Dinobot - I did say. Aside from that, only Sureshot is really interesting me. But knowing my luck, it'll be a repaint of the Volvo Prime. Volvo Prime is not a deluxe like Sureshot. Those in the know say it's the Targetmaster |

Yeah I'm trying to get enthusiastic about these and failing Odds are Galvatron will be the Kingdom version, so don't need that. Megatron at least has a class size bump but not many recent leaders have been that much bigger than Voyagers. And I have a fair few grey G1 tank Megatrons now. Gun would be nice but that ain't gonna happen. Now a Leader, or Commander, G2 Tank Megatron with the proper G2 chest is a completely different story..... Clever the engineering to give you the option of a G1 chest by reversing the torso. Start with green, go purple for Archforce, Blue for Reverse Convoy and even a grey version. That I have money for, even though it's beyond the purview of SS86 Surely this time, Megs will HAVE to have his Walther P38 gun mode? How can he be a proper Studio Series '86 figure without it - he never transformed into a tank in the '86 Movie. How may times have we seen Masterpiece and Third-Party Megatron with his gun mode, and they seem to get away with it. I really don't understand the logic behind the ban in this day and age. A REAL Walther P38 doesn't even look like Megatron. It has a brown stock, an all black barrel and no sign of a Decepticon Insignia anywhere  |

It won't happen - Megatron's gun mode may not look like a real Walther P38 but it does look enough like a real gun, and thus is prohibited under US toy gun safety laws.
3P stuff is not available at US retail, that's how they get round it. That and by not giving a flying fig about what the various laws say abut a great many things

Having seen Legacy United Wave 5 - tmukhub.proboards.com/post/515023/thread - with it's PRs and cheap repaints, I wonder if the PRs here are similarly grouped in one wave, possibly with the long sat on the shelf Hatchet and/or Gamer jet repaints? Tra Gen Studio series Deluxe 86 Perceptor PR Product Number: G0565 Tra Gen Studio series Deluxe 86 Jazz PR Product Number: G0569 Tra Gen Studio series Voy TF7 Optimus Prime PR Product Number: G0536 Tra Gen Studio series Ldr TF3 Shockwave PR Product Number: G0483 Tra Gen Studio series Ldr 86 Grimlock PR Product Number: G0485 |

I'd buy a missing link Huffer. Missing Link throttlebots... what the public is crying out for.... It still annoys me that not all the Throttlebots have had updates! But then they wouldn't pull-back-and-go so maybe it's for the best. We've had Goldbug and Chase/Roadburn redone. I think that's it? -Ralph |

Yes This has been on my mind a bit the last few days since the leak of the deluxe Insecticons, hence the extraction of the Throttlebot posts from the Missing Link thread I *THINK* That leaves Venom and the Omnibots as the only 84/5 toys not to have a Generations Update though Buzzsaw really could do with a WFC style tape. Is Ramhorn the only non redone 86 toy? Or do we count his Titanmaster as "good enough" even though there's no tape mode? (The FoC Datadisc definitely isn't good enough!) After That Rollbar, Wideload, Searchlight and Freeway are the earliest characters I can think of with no decent Generations update. |

Weaponizers or not, I'm genuinely surprised the friggin' POWERDASHERS got updates before the Omnibots. |

No TorsosThe missing deluxe Insecticon:Possibly his repaint/retoola crowd pleasing PRTwo obvious early 2000s remakesA Rescue BotOne I didn't knowAnd a questionYellow PR - but no PR marking? - or one of the blue coloured ones? |

But even if they haven't, that doesn't mean they can't start. They also don't consider the core class entries like vertibreak and bouldercrash to be -izers, even though they're totally apart of the sets. So, I wonder if the 13 are the newest -izers? |

Wasp is Animated, so he'll be the Bumblebee repainted, no?
<edit>Oh, and Flatline is a Decepticon medic, a virtual retool from IDW Trailbreaker/Hoist. Not sure what that means here.

Post by Toph on Feb 24, 2024 10:00:38 GMT
Correct
Wasp was also about the most coveted cancelled Animated toy there was, too.
It still befuddles me that between Hasbro slipping things out as TRU exclusives, Takara picking up some cancelled stuff, and FP in general, no one ever slipped Wasp in.

He will 100% be a Armada Red Alert repaint. There's another version of him that's a near 1:1 match for Legacy Bulkhead. But between Heatwave being a hood match for a Bulkhead retool, and the G1 version of Flatline being a great match for Red Alert, I seriously doubt there'll be two retail released Bulkhead retools in the same year. |

So this'll be exciting to see. In year's time... |

Then we've a complete set of Aerialbot limbs plus, I assume, a Combaticon. No Torsos Weird we don't have a Silverbolt listing, but not without precedent either. The big question is: Is he going to be like Motormaster, with a massive Concorde alt-mode, but with the Silverbolt robot mode only being the cockpit area, with the rest of the plane body forming into a skeleton to plug the planes into? That would certainly be... interesting. |

So this'll be exciting to see. In a year's time... Also, will Onyx Prime have a special reveal feature, as in the comics? I do hope so... I am, being one of only three people on the planet who find the idea of the Primes interesting, actually looking forwards to this one. Good luck to the rest of the buying public, though... |
