Hurrah! I knew there'd be no danger of actually seeing anything new on Tuesday! Glad to see my faith upheld. Or something. On the Shattered Glass front I was worried last night we'd have to buy it for Rewind, but it looks to be that Rewind's in SG colours (unsurprisingly) so it looks like I'm safe. Until Twincast. Or until the Conjunx decides she likes those colours. Of course, I am assuming there that they'll actually sell a correct colours Rewind at some point. *looks at SG Goldbug* I'm not entirely sure that's a safe assumption... Black figure in a black box!

These angled boxes aren't so good without the windows. They just look like they've done ten rounds in a Hermes van.

I've seen someone suggesting that this was just a photoshop. I can't find proof either way at the moment. (Not that I've looked particularly hard, mind you.)

Jess pointed it out on twitter - it's the tip of Rewind's left fist, it's the same colour as Blaster's leg.

This is on the rumour list though isn't it, along with Soundwave, wheeljack and Magnus. Even if it is a Photoshop the real thing will look like this.

Isn't that the base of the leg peaking out behind it?
There's something about the tape door chest that doesn't look 100% right to me

I think it's a genuine picture, it just looks photoshopped because it's been badly cut off whatever background was behind it.

Regardless, it's terrible. It looks like a dead 'sleep mode' Blaster.

The turquoise will go with the other shattered turquoise bots and will look fabulous.

Other turquoise bots? Are there any?

In shattered glass land there are. Ratchet, G2 Ramjet, Blurr has some similar blues.
This is my feeble justification flag here!

Yep yep. Definitely in for that.
Second series of the comic too I see, which if this is an autumn release as they say will finish past IDW's license expiring?

There's something about this not sitting right for me. I think there's not enough white on him.
Or I could be looking for reasons to not buy anymore TF's than I have to.

So we know Magnus, Wheeljack, Blaster and Soundwave from the rumours, but now we know this is coming with a comic series again, is there likely to be a fifth toy we don't know about to make it a five part run like the last one?

Possibly because colour-wise it's slightly off from what it should be?

Possibly because colour-wise it's slightly off from what it should be? the colors are muted. Itcs not just one or two. They're the opposite of vibrant. It's not that they look bad. It's a pretty deco. It's just very muted. I can't remember if I've said this here, but I'm not feeling the new head sculpt, either. I mean it's awesome, but it doesn't work for this mold, these colors, or this character. It kinda misses what the original was- severe battle damage. The original was partially melted (because I fully believe it was intended for Toxitron). It also worked with the more organic movie inspired shapes of the RtS mold. This one is just flat out a human skull with a "monster knight" helmet. T just doesn't work on the extremely blocky sunbow inspired body. It would look better on a SS86 Grimlock or Kingdom Megatron redeco. So I am EXTREMELY glad for the first time they give us a choice of heads, and I hope this is the start of a trend |

Actually, slap that deco on the SS86 toy and we're talking.

Phil doesn't have proof! There is hope for pinwig's wallet yet!
Although it does make complete sense given the mould does need reusing and we had the pottop one. I'd rather they did Sky Lynx. Where's that mould going to get reused?
