The only new Wave 6 figure is Ironhide? Are you kidding me?

Though the Vehicon repack is nice. Or could it be Jet Vehicon? Hmmmm.

EDIT: Wait, Wave 5 Ironhide? Where's Kup?

Bountyan

Gonna get Arhnhyde

More Bumblebee...woo hoo! Lame. Curious to see what Rumble looks like.

We already know what he looks like.

Robogeek28

These waves of only one or two new characters per wave PLUS being shortpacked is really getting old.

Mechafire

Glad to see another Vehicon in there.

New packaging? That's interesting, I suppose.

Robogeek28

Preordered myself an Ironhide and Rumble.

Dirge121

Rumble is one to a case?
It never ends, this shit.

Well at least there's a good chance he'll be in a later wave.

Robogeek28

I just wish preorders for Dreadwing would go up while I'm home but I know when he finally does get listed it'll be while I'm at work and not having easy access to a computer. *sigh*

He's the one bot that I need....NEED I say!!

Arkitect76

and we will be bleeding yellow AGAIN on wave 6

Not the guy

I think i'll take my chances at retail for Ironhide and Rumble. Though i'm wondering when wave 6 would arrive at stores when we're just getting wave 3.

miscreant

Good catch. Thanks.

Edit: IF the packaging is changing, is that quite early? Wondering it if it's a sign the line isn't moving like Hasbro hoped?

SoundBlaster7

Have we gotten a pic of Deluxe Ironhide?
Don't remember seeing one...

I was just checking TFWiki and I saw Voyager Thundertron listed for future waves.
Can someone tell me who's Thundertron? I never heard of him before.

So is Bumblebee V2 a new mold or just another new deco? I would love to see another go at it but then again that just means 1000x more repaints of it.

I think they listed that when Wave 4 was solicited, in which case it's probably just that grey repaint of RId BB.

Galvanitro

The new packaging thing is not terribly odd.

In Cybertron, they changed from normal to "Primus Unleashed" starting with the 6th wave.

ROTF changed to NEST Alliance starting with the 7th wave.

I wouldn't take it (necessarily) as the toys not selling well.

.

Exact same sculpt as Kup, down to the head, reportedly. Just imagine the CV colorscheme on the DX, w/o the giant water bottles.

Roufuss

Wave 6 might correspond to a store-level reset, hence the new packaging so Hasbro ensures that all the old figures are removed and that these new figures will be set up in their place. This means there will be new DPCIs and everything.

If true, it's a really smart way to instantly clear the shelf of all shelfwarmers.

It also allows the stores to completely clearance out the old figures as well.

New packaging? Huh.

I suspect Hasbro's learned something from cramming so many Bumblebees in a case, looking at that assortment.

EDIT: Also, if it's a packaging refresh, it ups the odds international customers will get to see those new molds, too.

kaijuguy19

I'm happy that Ironhide's going to be in Wave 5 instead of Kup. Wasn't really excited for Kup anyway.

Bummer about no new figures for Wave 6 though good news for those who missed out of the preivous figures the first time around.

Fort Max

Re: Thundertron, He only exists in a book so far, namely Exiles.

Good to see more Vehicons, they should be plentiful at this rate.

From what I remember at Botcon... I think so? Where'd you find that image?

Google images

Spyne98

I'm kinda picky about who I'm buying. I'm trying to just buy people who are in the show. Are Kup, Ironhide, Deadend, or Rumble appearing in the show? I feel like I'm going to pass up a guy and 3 months later he'll be in the show and no longer around to buy.

Ironhide4

Ironhide's coming first? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It's from the Transformers Online game.

Fort Max

It certainly doesn't fit the description in the book, Hasbro already showed Botcon attendees what the toy looked like and what they said matched the book.

Nightrain

Rumble is awesome but not 20 + shipping awesome.

Hypershock

AWWWW haiilll yea

Ironhide, get in mah belleh!!!!

Fort Max

Not sure if Ironhide or Kup, Hasbro, you are confuse me.

AngryChad

All sold out

Rattrap Primal

Of course they're sold out in pre order

KnightHawkke

Well if recent history follows, we will never see these. So don't get your hopes up.

UltimusPrime

How the Prime and GI Joe Retaliation stuff sold out almost instantly is beyond me.

Or it ups the odds of Hasbro cherry picking new molds for a renewed push in the main market. It will probably be business as usual overseas.

Exodus

Dang sold out real fast...and yet another sea of Bee's. Great! Hopefully there'll be a case with Iron Hide, Rumble and Kup. That's the one I'll go for.

Yeah, but lately I never get there in time. Too many damn scalpers on this site anymore, I think. Everything ends up on eBay.

Tytus

Eh I'll wait for them to hit retail. I enjoy the hunt, and from the looks of things we'll get more than a fair shot at Ironhide, and a decent shot at Rumble. So long as the main retailers order them.

What's with all this "Oh no we're going to be overwhelmed with Bees!" talk? There are no Bees in wave 3, none in the wave 4 revision, one of the (cool looking) redecos in wave 5, and 2 in wave 6. There are 2 Ironhides in wave 5, so he has just as much a chance of peg-warming as the yellow Bees.
I think it's an appropriate amount to match the demand.

ShockaNdMagnus

Unfortunately... It seems they're still packing shit into boxes that won't sell for the next 7 years...

Timothy.R

if they're changing packaging for wave six.. i assume they'd do the same for the voyagers, and it looks like there's no new figures to be had in those waves.... well... wouldn't it have been SUPER easy to throw the first editions into that wave of voyagers and deluxes?..

Kaijumaster

really want to be excited about Rumble, but until They announce a corresponding Frenzy....not so much.

gothsaurus

I'm sure someone mentioned, but Rumble bears more resemblance to Gaiking from Shogun Warriors than Rumble. (staring at the big face-chest.)

Again, why we gotta pull from so many sources when the Transformer history and lore is so rich and strong? Why we gotta rip off other designs.
