    That same list gave us "Deluxe Hardhead" and "Legends Brawn" mixed in with already-released toys, so it could be that they and Gnaw got to the planning phases but never actually happened. Or maybe they'll just release him later, who knows?

    If we end up getting a lot of Beast Wars stuff for next year, I could see him getting thrown in the mix there.

    Brawn was repainted into Gears. Gnaw was replaced by Acidstorm.

    And Hardhead seems to have been replaced by Chromia once Hasbro realised the fan built character would be a girl and thought it would be better to have three released at once instead of two. She shared an identifying code with Tankor, but Tankor actually saw release so Hardhead was probably his retool.

    Thats a thought I had as well...would be :cool: 

    Is there proof Brawn was supposedly repainted as Gears...and I remember (I think) reading Acid Storm was swapped in place of Thundercracker...due to not wanting alot of blue on the shelves with him and Gears in the same wave...now Thundercracker showed up eventually obviously...

    Thought Hardhead was shown to be a redecoed Warpath not a redecoed Fat Tankor...

    If that's not Brawn...

    Though in doing some more digging, I suppose that head would be fine if they'd thrown some paint apps into the grooves

    If we get either the seacons or terrorcons Gnaw could be in a wave with them or outside chance if they do the predacons.

    Yeah, Hardhead was shown to be a redecoed Warpath... the Warpath released in 2010, from before Generations existed as we knew it. That's four years before the new listing occoured. Clearly, Hasbro made two different versions of him and cancelled him twice.

    That was always an example of lacking paint apps more than any proof of being a redeco as you've said...alot of folks just took a red marker to it to fix the head...

    My problem with this email exchange is that the customer service folk at Hasbro are usually INSANE. They have no idea of what's going on, and they tend to answer things enthusiastically and without source. :/

    In other words, this exchange is nothing but hearsay and rumor, despite its official origin. I'd be more impressed if we got a job title behind the response, and if it was someone higher up. As such, as Hasbro has been pumping out MASSIVE quantities of toys lately, I doubt they'd ever commit to an answer of "yes, toy X will definitely be made in time for month Y" (look how badly the Arcee wave ended up, distribution-wise!).

    If Gnaw got thrown in with CW as an afterthought, I'd be really disappointed. Gnaw should be given attention, as a stand-alone figure. Here's hoping.
