That's not too bad. Sure, you can see Blurr in there, but apart from the fact there's only one fin on the back instead of two that's pretty good I think.

It looks like Blurr cosplaying as Brainstorm.

Well at least now we know who was responsible for the Prime Vehicons' far-from-distinctive air and land modes. Brainstorm, you mad, mad genius...

I find it interesting to note that other news sites have been getting pissed off at this guy doing all this leaking. Apparently the news site all have access to these images, but are keeping to the embargo placed upon their scheduled release.

I'd just as soon wait for the official reveals, myself. I think the anticipation makes things better. This guy can do one.
I didn't realise it was the same dude because it's a whole image...

I look forward to The Fandom imploding when we hit the point of US Toy Fair etc having no 'new' reveals because arseholes have already leaked it all and web sites pursue all 'news' without thinking about where it comes from.

I'm going out to dinner shortly. Expect massive Toy Fair reveals while I'm gone.

BTW, I'm secretly hoping that the Skullcruncher and Mindwipe will be remoulded as some kind of wacky homage to the Beast Wars bat Optimus Primal and crocodile Megatron two-pack.

I strongly suspect there will be no surprises from US Toy Fair due to the leaky twats who have spoiled things.

More importantly, what's for dinner? Thai Starters, tom yum soup, chicken red curry, duck in tamarind sauce, prawns in garlic and black pepper sauce, rice and Pad Thai. |

The suggestion was made some time ago upthread. That's got club exclusive all over it. There's aGenerations Wishlist thread for any wild and wacky repaint suggestions! |

Oh I think they'll be some surprises alright!
I've seen it suggested that one of the leaks is deliberately misleading!

Yes, this show is a big event. There'll be something new. Besides, ask these leaked images are art of things we already knew were coming. We need to see the toys!
Decent high resolution images of Fort Max are almost here, and we've known that you was coming since the Titan Wars display boards at Botcon last year.
Plenty to be excited about.
Have we got a Toy Fair thread yet? I am hoping to see Computron and Lio Kaiser in the flesh. I am fully converted to Phil's view on that now. I'm sure it's Hasbro doing it. Takara have been absolutely meticulous in getting the special teams right. I can't see them doing a Lio Kaiser one man short and with Dezarus as the body. It's not their style to compromise.

I personally only want BW repaints of TR, if presented as some alternate universe where maximals and predacons use drone bodies like headmasters, to interact with autobots and decepticons.
Otherwise, they don't really make any kind of sense.

I doubt there will be any big surprises.
Toyfair is not a fan event. It's to show and sell wares to retailers.
We'll see Fort Max for the first time. We'll see a lot of TR we've been told about for the first time (remember, a lot of what Hasbro has shown us have only been CG renders), like Optimus, and Skullcruncher.
We'll likely see all the CW box sets, including Computron. I'm still not convinced Liokaiser is a hasbro thing.
If there are any surprises, they'll be small, like legends and Titanmasters.
Any real big things that would genuinely excite the fan base gets held onto until Botcon, SDCC, or NYCC. (With botcon gradually becoming nothing but a tease for the later less important TF events)
The only big surprise I can think of that's a genuine possibility, but has no rumor around it, is the reveal of a G2 Defensor set.

Skullcruncher we saw at NYCC. Links upthread and in the UK release thread to pictures.
We've not clearly seen Scourge from Wave 1 and could do with better Blurr pictures too.
We've not seen any wave 2 Legends, Wheelie, Rumble or Ravage, or Titanmasters, bar Chromedome, and we've not seen his vehicle.
There's possible two wave 2 deluxe to be revealed alongside Brainstorm and Mindwipe neither of which we've seen all of clearly. Astrotain we haven't seen in colour, Alpha Trion we've not seen clearly and not seen his other two modes.

It's possible, if what they shared was cropped the right way. For example, Chromedome as a deluxe but crop the image down to just his head and you can get away with saying he'll just be a Titan master.

There's been lots of official stuff today: the Deluxe art and the clear max picture.
