Transmissions rumour from the last episode: Brainstorm will be a new mould, not a reissue of the T30 one. They're also now saying the Headmasters are Deluxe scale, but they neglected to talk about what 'Deluxe' means given they were saying two weeks ago that the scales are being renamed. Mindwipe and Weirdwolf are also now being mentioned as well as Skullcruncher for the Decepticons.
Also that G2 CW Bruticus is a definite.

It would. They seem to be getting more and more confident about their information, but at the same time it seems to be getting more and more unlikely.

All this 'info' is coming from only one 'source' in dribs and drabs. I smell something.

Yeah. It's all conjecture until it's proven, but the main presenter of that podcast is pretty much staking his credibility on this and he seems pretty confident what he's being told is right. Who knows.

Yes, no, maybe, I don't know, can you repeat the- FUCKING SILHOUETTES!
Although this time I'm not so cross - because at least we know when the proper reveal's going to be. And we're all speculating anyway, so this is just a little extra fuel. This is, I am cautious to suggest, the one time that silhouettes are allowed.
But yes, that's clearly Blaster. And... who else? I want to say Weirdwolf on the right, because of the claws. On the left, my first thought was Hardhead, because of the shoulder cannon, but there's also the rather pointy drill-shoes, which seems more Technobot to me. And then, at the bottom, on the right is some Headmaster, clearly, and on the left... er... Rattrap. It probably isn't. It's probably another Grimlock, or a Monstercon or something. But for some reason I see the silhouette as a rat on its hind legs for now...

This time the silhouettes are fun, because we don't know what they are (unlike showing off MP shockwave's silhouette and saying "here's a sneak peek at mp shockwave!"), so it's a genuine tease. Also, there's more than one. Which adds to the tease.

That's definately Hardhead on the left. The handgun matches Hardhead's. Too many similarities.
The one on the right I'd guess at Weirdwolf or Skullcruncher. They seem much more likely, and align with all the rumors, given how deadset against dinobots hasbro is. Plus, Grimlock is in NuRID, and hasbro doesn't like to cross pollenate characters outside of the big four.

If those aren't to scale I would be thinking that odd beast thing at the bottom left could be one of the monsterbots or possibly a terrorcon. That would make the drill thing next to them nosecone and theres another figure in front of Blasters leg.
If they are cassettes the dino thing could be Noise, Dial or Overkill, but the drill doesnt fit anything else I can think of in a smaller size unless they are bring back powerdashers.

There's something a bit Grotusque-y about the dino thing, if you take the bit sticking up behind the head as a wing viewed edge-on. Maybe wishful thinking, I'd love a Grotusque...
I'm with Jetty, this is one of the cases where the silhouette is kind of fun!

Thanks for confirming that CJ - I'm pretty sure that that is Hardhead now. The drill thing I guess is either a bit of explosive kibble, or it's a new, separate Minicon-thing. Especially given that other Minicon that I didn't notice at first, but as bogatan points out is stood by Blaster's right leg. From the shape of what I'm assuming is its arm my money is that it's some sort of beast-former. But it could be anything. That's all I have for now.
Oh. But just one more thing...

Going to make the end of the week fun! Think I remember hearing on RFC last week that the Hasbro panel for this is on Thursday night as they're doing their podcast record a day later than usual to cover it as soon as Diecast is out of it.

I think the drill looking foot is actually something blacked out that's in front of his foot. I actually think there are a couple things in the picture that are separate items, that make the silhouettes look kinda funky, like that foot. |

Lower left does look a bit Terrorconish, as someone's already said.
F*@#ing silhouettes.

Given Soundwave/Blaster and Tape Legends Overkill is more likely.

Interesting... so Titan Wars is going into the autumn slot, ie the one this year we've just had occupied by the fourth CW wave. That leaves a hole where the May wave usually goes, because CW's sixth, and as far as we know last, wave will hit in March.
