We have received a list of UK releases for Transformers for January and April 2017 as well as various other products which currently do not have a confirmed release month. The list include items previously announced as well as others which have not from the Transformers Robots in Disguise, Transformers Rescue Bots, Transformers Titans Return and Transformers The Last Knight line. The list confirms that Trypticon is set for a UK release as well as listing some more unusual items like an RC Earth and Transformers Rubiks (under games). You can see the list here (http://bit.ly/2ji6IDa)
I wonder if "Team Combiners" are going to be articulated versions of the crash combiner characters. Maybe the individual figures will be at the battle pack scale? It would be nice to have slightly better versions of them.
Awesome list. Posted with thanks. Pretty interesting stuff in there. Looks like the Transformers 5 Turbo line is a possible rename of the One/Three Step Changers or Activators. That Power Cube toyline also makes an appearance once again. Rescue Bots stuff are slowly appearing nowadays including various Team packs. These are unlisted. No idea what line they are for: Transformers Collector 7 Pck Transformers Character N Vehicle Assorted Transformers Optimus Peek A Bot Rollin Rig (assuming Rescue Bots) Transformers Rubiks Transformers Minicon Battle Pack Assorted (assuming RID) Transformers Movie 5 RC Earth - Could this be the previously mentioned $150 Planet Cybertron? Update: I forgot there was a Deluxe Class "Earth" listed previously. So, I'm guessing this is a Remote Controlled character like Crosshairs, Hot Rod or Drift. My best guess is Drift.
I did uncover several trademarks for Hasbro Games recently, but noting of a Rubik's Cube or anything related to Transformers. I guess it's a generic term and Hasbro is manufacturing a Rubik's Cube with Transformers faces instead of colors.
.....This list doesn't really tell us anything. "Assortment" here, "Movie crap" there, and we already knew about Trypticon, which sadly only means for a lot fans and collectors that the end of March will be their jumping off point/ break from collecting Generations due to the inevitable take over of a certain line. So I guess thanks for that. Hopefully the Toy fair info next month will shine some needed light.
Movie line? Nope. If I recall correctly, Hasbro stated on their last conference call that they will not be flooding pegs with Movie line this time, thus allowing other lines to shine as well. Forbes Magazine Interview - Future Of The Transformers Toyline - Transformers News - TFW2005
I'm guessing they're going to be more like the 'traditional' 5/6 member combiner teams. Even though most of it is stuff I probably won't want to buy, I'm still excited to see what it's all going to be at NY Toy Fair next month.
Yeah, I remember them saying at another time that TR will keep running without taking a break for the movie. I'm guessing they're calling the movie deluxe/voyager/leader figures 'Premier Edition' rather than Generations to keep them totally separate (the deluxes and voyagers listed as such on Amazon.ca, so it looks like it's not necessarily 'first edition' or 'movie preview' like before).
Been SIX MONTHS since the last RiD warrior case refresh here! EDIT: The Secret of Comedy: Timing RID Warrior Wave 9 (Combiner Force Wave 1) found in the UK!
"Transformers 5 3-Step Turbo Charger" Oh...well darn. They're still doing those shelfwarming 3-step figures.
I was hoping more R.I.D Activator/deluxe-sized figures that give use of CW's scramble city ports my self. Remember that the Autobots are about to face a Large Combiner that consist of 5 Cons? "Hey folks, The 3-step changers are back!" "Are they Better Articulated now?" "I Don't Know!" "Not interested."
Seeing as how there's a "starter kit" for them, I wonder if the Power Cube figures are supposed to be some kind of Skylanders-esque thing?
So are the TR Deluxes referred to for Jan wave 4 then? Or are they just saying they're going to refresh wave 3? The leader must be Sixshot I'm guessing so they wouldn't release the wave 3 leader with the wave 4 deluxes. Would they? I am hoping this also means I can get a Ptero and Fangry in the next two weeks and with any luck even the Warrior Ratchet that I keep on asking everyone about.
