So Star Saber is a Wrecker? Well, better than whatever the fuck he was last time at least.

Also, more Junkyard pics here

Eh it doesn’t matter, their time is done. I don’t know why Ruckus, Lockdown, random IDW slut and Moonracer are there and I don’t care.

Junkyard is really above and beyond for what is a background generic. Hope we get more Junkions, love me some space mongolian/viking ork robots.

They've regulated Shattered Glass to it's own line, I'm guessing that the Shattered Glass Junkions are happening since Hasbro has been going right down the list and remaking every Botcon SG guy and then some.

Technically they have more released than what Botcon had due to them also using Diaclone colors for stuff.

There's also the real possibility that Actionmasters are going to be covered in full and that you're going to need large enough figures to act as the ridable vehicles. Wreckgar can already have another figure ride him. Commander Jetfire is the same size as the Stratosonic Cruiser. They're not against releasing expensive molds for weird repaints since we already got SG Jetfire.

It's also a guess that the Red Cog coming with the accessory pack is going to be a reference to the Diaclone Dunebuggy that came with Powered Convoy. Accessory packs may also fill in the gaps with stuff like Bumblebee's helicopter pack, jazz's skateboard, and others.

The other thing is that they're going to have to grapple with is how they're going to want to do the Pretenders. They remain largely uncovered and lack the proper means of referencing their original figures.

Red Cog is a dual reference to Grand Maximus’s Cog and the generics from the Netflix series, curious about what it’s coming with.
 
While they don't transform , flame toys makes model kits of characters from transformers , i have their Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

1642286348212.png
PRIME: Prime is a decent kit and looks great once done , his chest opens to reveal the matrix chamber (no removable matrix) and he has a bunch of hands , his gun is removable and not locked in his trigger hand, He is really poseable and is a solid addition to a figure collection.

1642286678194.png
BUMBLEBEE: Shitty kit , the joints went together just barely and some of them will pop out of place at the slightest touch , for a snap kit it didn't snap together all that well and seems like it wasnt designed all that well given the fact his chest piece blocks alot of movement of his arms , he looks good on my shelf but i wouldn't recommend buying him.

Some of my issues with bumblebee may have just been my kit , maybe it was sitting for awhile or something , but overall i still can't recommend it.

I’m waiting on their Bludgeon and Banzaitron kits,

These licensed 3Ps are right to go in the direction of unique characters who can’t really be done traditionally by Hasbro.

Since they added Cyberverse Lockdown to that list maybe Hasbro will make figures/ make better figures of Cyberverse character designs.

Well “Cyberverse Lockdown” is Evergreen G1 Lockdown. I’d put more money on an updated ROTF Lockdown that’s G1-ized.

So sounds like the ROTB toys may still be releasing this year even though the actual movie got pushed to next June. That should be... interesting.

Oh god have you seen the listings? All that gimmick shit, the absolute garbage that chokes shelves for years on end.

There's rumors that the Studio Series versions are gonna come later, but yeah I am not looking forward to all the garbage gimmick toys clogging the shelves. Kids probably aren't gonna be buying it anyway because there won't be an actual movie to advertise the toys yet, so this whole thing seems like a recipe for disaster.

Also, this Windblade is probably gonna be the first one of these Flametoys things I get. Should be coming out this month.

This is gonna suck, if it goes bad (which it will) the ripple is gonna hurt the Generations line.

That Windblade looks kinda…… big
 
Some new Fan Toy's prototypes
Jester - Slingshot

Been waiting for a good Swerve but he needs a different face.

I'll probably repaint my Badcube Swerve as Smallfoot and Gears as the Brazil version of the G1 Gears.

Legacy Cores FINALLY revealed. I like Iguanus but Skywarp's lack of guns is really fucking stupid.

Transformers Legacy Core Iguanus and Skywarp Revealed - Transformers News - TFW2005

Hasbro have shared out new pics and details for Transformers Legacy Core Class figures - Iguanus and Skywarp. Skywarp looks to be a redeco of the Core

Holy shit, they've figured out a way for pretenders to work.

Just give me a whole line of figures that look like Iguanus. Some bullshit vehicle mode and some monster robot mode, that's all you need.

Like for a legends figure tthey gave him the right vehicle mode, the right robot mode. and it looks like the original figure.

So the Cores have small weapons (tuning forks) that are actually lightsaber handles for the “Energon weapon” gimmick?

Weird, thankfully Igaunus is fantastic.
 
Not a fan of Igaunus. I don't know why. He looks good in "bot" mode, his alt mod is okay. Maybe it's because I wanted a real pretenders. With the current level of toy engineering I know they could do a good job of it even if something like the legs would be a bit hollow but that's okay. I guess having voyager sized Pretenders wouldn't sell well, or be too expensive to produce.

This little bastard is potentially the herald of the Pretenders getting their day

Though, I can’t help but feel from a business standpoint that the Stormbringer route would’ve been the way to go

Inner robot mushed with shell features, maybe try weaponizer shells for the big guys. Apparently Bludgeon and Thunderwing are on “the list” so it’ll be interesting to see how they pan out.

You could have made the Pretender "shell" armour pieces since the figure has a tone of slots on it.
 
Fans Toys Viper (Fireflight) is looking good.

They have some kibble on the legs but it doesn't look as bad as Zeta Toys did.
