Even more rumors have arrived! TFW2005 boards member Mr. Chaos reports that his friend had gone digging through a list of items in the product information database at his store (a large supercenter), and came across some new Generations Combiner Wars figure names.
First off, it appears as though we will be getting a Voyager Cyclonus! It seems he will be the wave-mate of Protectobot Hot Spot, as both have similar coding (Hot Spot is B2397, and Cyclonus is B2398), and are one digit off in UPC (Hot Spot is 63050929832, and Cyclonus is 63050929833). Secondly, the previously-reported white Voyager Optimus Prime redeco will be named Optimus Maximus, and will be in wave 4 (his code is B2727, with the UPC 63050932502).
Mr. Chaos also reports having the UPCs for some of the upcoming Deluxe and Legends figures, though it is nothing that we haven’t heard of before. The wave 3 Deluxes will consist of the Protectobots. Their codes and UPCs are as follows:
Blades – B2393, UPC 63050929828
Streetwise – B2394, UPC 63050929829
First Aid – B2395, UPC 63050929830
Rook – B2396, UPC 63050929831
Wave 4 will be the Autobot “Masquerade homage” figures – those being Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Prowl, and Mirage. While we have no definite word on wave numbers, Legends Blackjack, Huffer, Groove, Warpath, Viper, Rodimus, and Skywarp are also coming up.
Start getting prepared for New York Toy Fair, as it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of stuff there.

The wings need a remold. He needs Cyclonus' forward-swept wings.

I'm perfectly happy with the older deluxe Cyclonus.
SpinalCord
Forgot about that mold, which I already have Nemesis Now Huffed and Pipes make sense. Thanks!
Rakzo
Yeah, Roberts was just announcing that fan of Cyclonus and Magnus would be able to get them now.
Still damn happy with my Deluxe Cyclonus though.
Shin Densetsu
I don't know if he deleted one of his tweets but the only tweet I saw by him was just saying
He's not implying they'll look like the current IDW designs. Just a heads up, they might not. We've seen in generations that when it comes to generations homages, G1 usually gets priority while IDW doesn't. Of course there are exceptions. Figures like Whirl however, turned out largely G1 with some IDW influence(ability to go chicken legged).

Primus if it's got darn Minibus or whatever the heck is name is…
Shin Densetsu
It'd be nice but we need a great sword for Cyclonus at the very least
Transfotaku
Legends class figures. Nemesis Prime came out in the same wave with Cliffjumper. Came with a Spinister.

Anyone see what Roberts tweeted earlier? Mentioned Cyclonus and Ultra Magnus toys coming up as a good fit for your Lost Light display. Hoping that means Cyclonus will have his MTMTE head.
artiepants
they are talking about the legends mold not the Voyager
SpinalCord
Nemesis? Do you mean Motormaster, or is there a Scourge coming as well?
kaijuguy19
I know that but I meant in the regular robot mode the mold has.
payres
Combined mode head looks the same in the pictures.
3P manufacturers: I have money for an Ultra Magnus combined mode head and chest shield (shield for the single robot mode/mount on truck) to go on Optimus Maximus

4th… optimus, nemesis, huffer… then pipes

Those sentiments I can easily agree with, and I won't flat out write off a figure I haven't seen yet, since a) it's our best educated guess that Cyclonus would be derived from Silverbolt, but not confirmed, and b) even if that's what it is, some heavy retools like Springer/Sandstorm could give a lot of people hope.
Of course because of the layout of Silverbolt's combined mode, Cyclonus would most probably have quite a bit of backpack, just for one thing. Just for the sake of countering your point, another toy that got a lot of good mentions -and again I think rightfully so – was Jazz, but that doesn't mean lots of fans were too crazy to see Nightbeat derived from his mold. The transformation(s) to combined mode for Silverbolt are by and large (thigh hands aside) really fresh and quite well done to me. I think after fliers like United Scourge and Lugnut, fans were interested to see the usual plane kibble – wings and other flight surfaces – incorporated into the main robot anatomy or at least have a function. Or indeed that all the robot parts fit flush into an aircraft that looks passable from almost any angle.
So of course in a perfect world it would have been great to see those principles used on Silverbolt, but I am fine with how that turned out. As for the other Aerialbots, those mid Cold War fighters that these designs still tip the hat to, had such thin wings, by and large, that they'd only ever be kibble.

I've heard that Optimus Maximus will have a new head. If that's true does that mean it may have other retooled parts on the mold?
SpinalCord
Um, I AM a TransFormers fan, hince why I’m a member here…
The fuck?
Since RID doesn’t have any voyager class figures (as of now), I took it that CW’s is Hasbro’s current mainline?
I’m sensing none of that… just people making casual discussion about what could better a toy. You really do white knight Hasbro, don’t you
HereticalHeresy
Well, he seems to be made from Silverbolt, who is getting a lot if good mentions, so Cyclonus should still be good. I am just not interested because I like my Universe mold so much.
