    Leadfoot is defiantly a new mold exclusive, but the only reason they did that is because Leadfoot has the Target logo, but with the past times they released Exclusives that are not new molds why should there be hope that there will be new mold exclusives for AOE?

    Because we are optimistic lol! In all seriousness, I wonder if they would be able to remold the Sonic into a semi-decent Trax.

    Did everyone ignore my post stating that Slog and Snarl could be Junkheap and the Vehicon?

    The problem with that theory is that the Junkheap figure isn't a Voyager class figure. It's not even a Generations AoE figure for that matter. It's one of the Power Battlers, aka these:

    AOE Power Battlers Toys - Transformers Movie 4 Age of Extinction - TFW2005

    There's also the Takara listings for an unknown Voyager Dinobot and an unknown Deluxe Dinobot. Both of which are most likely the Takara versions of the Slog and Snarl figures from Hasbro's listings.

    What gives you the impression that they'll be making a Voyager figure for Junkheap? By the sounds of it, I'm sure that the Power Battler will be the only figure they do of him.

    I'd like to agree with HeroicC300, mostly 'cause I'm feeling optimistic. :D

    If it's any consolation I thought the same thing early on, not that many hopped on that bandwagon. I can't help but buy into it given they're screen characters and Hasbro explicitly told us all the onscreen characters would get the Generations treatment. Takara's listing doesn't necessarily discount that.

    Why would you be sure of that? They're pushing the gimmicky lines hard because they know we'll buy the Generations product. Hardly anything for Generations has been pushed into the limelight as they know collectors do half their advertising for them in that regard. Further, see above: Hasbro outright stated we'd get Generations treatment for all movie characters when they were interviewed at Toy Fair. The fact that the guy is even named says something, considering we don't have a name for certain guys like the Sonic and we all know full well Bumblebee's new mode is getting a toy too. It's very possible.

    So that's his head in the purple section, he looks like the Sinanju.

    Because the way this was announced makes it sound, to me at least, that this is a one-off thing.
    What does that have to do with any of this?
    Did they? The closest thing to that statement that I ever saw come out of all the Toy Fair coverage was that all the Dinobots in he movie would be getting figures in the AoE Generations line. That said, I'm not convinced that this guy will even be in the new movie.
    Of course he's named. They're not going to release a toy without a name.
    We still don't even know if the Sonic is even a Transformer, and as for Bumblebee, him getting more than one Deluxe figure in this line was inevitable.
    I honestly don't think it is. That said, let's just wait and see.

    The other un-named voyager has already been confirmed by Takara as a Dinobot so that eliminates it from being Scapheap. The voyager Dinobot is more than likely Slog.

    For Earth Day, sure. Time will tell.

    The fact that they're pushing more gimmick lines means that showcasing him as a gimmick line character isn't the same thing as saying "this is the only version of him that will be released".

    Toy Fair 2014 - Hasbro Transformers Panel - Transformers News - TFW2005

    Look down where it says "Generations Wave 2" - it explicitly says Hasbro plans everyone in the film to get the Generations treatment. So if they don't get a toy at all, fair enough, but if they do, it's logical to consider they might get the toy in various forms, not just one thing that is explicitly not Generations.

    What I meant was that when seemingly more important characters like the Sonic aren't named, and it took forever to get Galvatron's name even though he's an obvious major player (same with Stinger), plus the legion of unnamed or pointlessly random Decepticons, him getting a name and a toy as opposed to just a name is a bigger deal. I didn't literally mean they'd release a nameless toy.

    True, we don't. I would be hard pressed to think it isn't, though, given the way it keeps getting marketed and some of the filming sequences.

    And you are totally entitled to your opinion, and this is what I was gonna say - waiting and seeing is pretty much the only way any of us will be right about anything, haha.

    Not necessarily, tony. Don't forget that Takara also has a number of exclusive redecos and in one or two cases fairly notable retools like Dispensor and Dino/Mirage. Just because they indicated it was a Dinobot doesn't necessarily mean the US Voyager is one. There's also the possibility that in some ungodly strange way Junkheap becomes a Dinobot, but that would just be silly.

    Advertising this as an exclusive partnership, however, does.

    All the other reports I've read have stated that it was just the Dinobots. No offence to the TFW news team, but they aren't infallible. That said, even if that statement is correct, there is still no proof that this guy will be in the movie.
    I honestly don't see how it's a big deal at all. For Hasbro this announcement is more about the pertnership than the toy itself. They gave him a name because it would be odd for them to be revealling a toy without one.
    Am I though? I'm not speaking to this situation when I say this, but there have been several times, even on this site, when I get the impression that I'm not entitled to have my own opinions. Though this is a disscussion for another time, and probably for a more private form of communication...
    It's not about being right, it's about finding out the truth.
    I'll have to go back and re-read the listings, but weren't they said to be all-new molds? I want to say there was something that definitively linked them to the Hasbro listings for Slog and Snarl...

    I was wondering about this myself. I guess we can finally get another Garbage Truck Transformer. :)

    Doubt it will. It's been available at Entertainment Earth and on eBay through the Seibertron.com store, but those are the only two sources so far. There are none on eBay, even from Asian sources and he's packed one per case.

    Chances are, unless you buy the case for $100.00+ you're not likely to get one. At least not right now.
