So there is hope for Hot Rod? Or Hooligan? Since those are the only two that come to mind when hearing deluxe. Also, that unknown voyager could possibly be Onslaught.

Grimlock, Bee, Slash, Berserker, and some one-steps on HobbyLink Japan.

 

Then by the process of elimination it has to be hot rod.

 

Where was Gas Giant confirmed as Barricade if I may just ask? Because I'm still baffled as to why deluxe Barricade was never shown at Toy Fair (why would Drift and others how up first if he is wave 1, considering the ones revealed at Toy Fair are later waves)... this is why I'm still convinced that Barricade is the third MPM

 

Hmmmmm.

 

Because Rodimus Prime?

 

I'm assuming you know something we don't?

I started going along the lines that as there are two deluxe Bumblebees, Saturn applies to the new mould and the MPM while Barricade is Mars in deluxe w1 and the MPM (there's nothing to suggest Mars is the first MPM to be released, we just assumed it was Bumblebee when we though there was only one deluxe). That leaves Gas Giant as the AOE repaint Bumblebee and the legion figure (also a repaint). The whole thing started unravelling after that so it's only the w2/3 voyagers that I have nothing definite for, other than Pluto being Hound or Megatron..

If we knew the product codes for the w1 code names it would be easier to put together; I've got the product codes for three of the figure, two from the video but Danh Le, one from the official pics.

 

From what we've seen so far it seems more like Bumblebee, Megatron and Sqweeks. Though the packaging seems to have Optimus, Bumblebee and Drift on it, which seems totally random. But I've no doubt they're saving Hot Rod to make a big thing about him.

 

Going by the back of Megatron's leader box, if he is a "hero" for this movie, he's probably just a hero on the surface, being the only one capable of stopping Prime. In reality maybe he's just using that as his way to finally get rid of him before taking out the humans once and for all.

 

AOE Hot Rod reminds me of G1 Tracks...anyway,I would say Hooligan.

 

well you do keep up the suspence     

 

Plot-Twist: Saturn is a second mold for barricade.

 

If MP Saturn is anything other then Barricade, then that's a disappointment and will almost definitely lead to me skipping it. I can't imagine another character from this movie who I'd want an MP of, right now. I guess the movie might change my mind, but it's unlikely. I mean, the movies didn't even make me like Barricade. That was the DS games, which is something they seem to have given up on.

 

And no Hot Rod figure? I riot.
I may be the only person, but I'll fucking one-man-riot in my loneliness if I have to.

 

Maybe hotrod will come with the mpm, and the last deluxe is either the van or the moto.

 

This is honestly the only thing that makes sense to me. If Bumblebee is based off his movie 1 design, and Prime, being the next figure we know for sure about, would presumably also be based on his movie 1 design, why would the third figure switch gears?
