    I was really looking forward to Kup and I would have still bought the Arms Micron Ironhide. Hopefully it's an error and we are indeed getting Kup.

    Of course, they're all sold out already, so we gotta wait...

    Ah, they're all available for preorder again.

    Ordered Ironhide and Rumble and canceled AM Ironhide.

    We're already getting wave 6 preorders with new packaging? Hasbro, the packaging isn't what's keeping all those Bumblebees from selling, you know.

    BBTS listing now says promo packaging for wave six.

    Maybe if you buy a buy a Bumblebee, you get a free Bumblebee.

    Promo is probably cross-promotion for FoC/generations.
    Probably replacing that large tfprime ad on back of card.
    Also adding FoC sticker on front.

    Pre-orders are up.
    Article front paged again.
    2-pack preordered.
    Hopefully we'll see voyager pre-orders soon.

    ^A bigger version of the Cyberverse toy pretty much. Preordered these and cancelled AM Ironhide since I like paint apps. :D

    Probably CV Ironhides deco on the DX Kup we've seen promo shots of.

    Assuming it IS Ironhide, and not just a mistake?

    So, no new figures in Wave 6 huh....? This does NOT bode well for us getting any more new characters in Season 2 of TFP.

    It's Kup. One of those Ironhides has to be Kup though. He was supposed to come out before IH last we heard and with Rumble in wave 5. IH was in wave 6. It has to be a mistake.

    hooookay now its back lolz, and i'd definitely want Ironhide more than Kup, not just cuz i like the character better, but theres more variety of color on 'Hide's model than Kup's

    Are we sure this is actually Ironhide and not mislabeled? I thought Kup was supposed to be in this wave.

    stoked about the vehicon re-pack, if i see him at retail i will buy another couple of him. Might pre-order the Kup and Rumble pack. The other sets are kinda doing nothign for me, especially with the in-hand images we've seen of Airachnid courtesy of Full Metal Hero. All i have to say about her is "those hands bro, those hands." Seriously her hands just take me out of the figure. As such, i'm not pre-ordering anything with her in it, i'll wait to see her at retail.

    It's not that. It's that we were told we were getting Kup in wave 5, and with Tomy doing an AM Ironhide, we could have had both characters. Now with a Hasbro Ironhide instead of Kup in wave 5, we might not ever get a Kup...

    And... the preorders are back up. Preordered Ironhide and Rumble. Thank GOD it isn't Kup. Seriously, why release the repaint before the main figure? In any case I was going to pass on Kup, because I don't think the Ironhide mold fits Kup AT ALL. Very happy to get Ironhide first... as we should.

    The Season break of Prime left everyone crying for more, Hasbro took advantage of it. They will have Ironhide in the next episode and by that time Kup would be out and not and everyone wants ironhide because he will be in the show.

    This design would've been better in the Generations line under a obscure Decepticon's name instead.

    No door handle kibble and with a choice of hands on it wouldve been nice as well. I've also noticed that most of the Alt modes in the Shrek-formers line are too cartoonish. Go figure though.
