Okay, I'm going to get straight to the point. I'm sure everyone has heard the rumors following the announcement of leader starscream that there will be a fifth leader class figure: leader class "Grindor." following such rumors have been supposed announcements and news reports that there will be a "voyager scrapper," a "deluxe hightower" an other dubious claims of similar nature.
Over the past few months, I have been cruising many shadier, less reputable boards that are chock full of said claims, simply to collect evidence.
I for one think this is wonderful, but likely horseshit.
anybody who has any info or opinions to share, please do. |

I dont think this belongs as a news topic, it's been hashed out to death.
That beind said, Hightower would make the worst Transformer ever, and any "blackout" or "Grindor" is a hideously bad idea because nobody's paying $45 for a one-off character just because he's supposed to be big. Same reason nobody would buy a $45 Animated Lugnut, he's a side character at best. Collectors would love it, but the other 85% of the market would never go for it. (See RotF Devastator)

Okay, I agree with Omegus. We fans are like th 40 or 50% of hasbro's sells. Whilst the other percent of general consumers are the ones paying.
Which do you think Hasbro is going to with, the one who puts the most money in their pockets. I would love all of what you said. SS is being made, I'm happy.
Sure I want a Grindor/Blackout but I have my doubts highly that Hasbro will answer to us, the ones who don't pay as much as the General Public. | |

Collection Count: 112, I had a sale. | well, yeah valid points, but these guys are all pretty damn persistent that "It's gonna happen, It's gotta." like I said, I just needed some clarity as to how other people percieve these. also, what wave is Flareup/ Elita 1 supposed to be part of? maybe people got the wrong Idea, going off the upcoming waves and announced figures. this could just be a huge confusion. | |

We know some of the figures, but we don't know exaclty what wave. | |
