Mind you, he was mostly in shadow during the film. The raid at night, and in the shadow of building during the Mission City fight. Combined with low-vis paint, and the colours probably shift quite dramatically in shadow.
I’m more puzzled that there was an event where Has/Tak was obviously an exhibitor and displayed the upcoming line but nobody knows anything about it.
I'd be fine with that colour for the alt mode, and darker blues and blacks on the bot parts for contrast.
I found UPCs!!! Deluxe: 630609629008 630609629015 630609629022 630609629039 630609629046 630609629053 630609697694 630609697700 630609707577 630609707584 Voyager 630509628162 630509628179 630509628186 630509652204 630509652235 630509707560 630509715374 Leader: 630509627837 630509627844 630509627851
As do I, found em in the “product lookup” app. Starting to wonder if those are actually voyagers at all with the release date and everything...
The line is supposed to be in (rough) scale. If they stick with that, the size classes are defined by the size of the robots, not by whatever black magic Hasbro usually uses. Who's left that's even big enough to justify a leader? Jetfire?
This means there are 4 mystery Deluxes, 1 mystery Voyager and 1 mystery Leader. If I had hopes, I would say Deluxe Sideswipe, Barricade, Soundwave and the 4th I don't care, Voyager Bonecrusher and Leader Class Shockwave.
Hmm...so including the leaks, we have twelve figures revealed so far: 01: Stryker (Likely Wreckage) 02: Crowbar 03: Ratchet 04: Stinger 05: Jazz 06: Lockdown 07: Starscream 08: Optimus Prime 09: Megatron 10: Ironhide 11: Grimlock 12: Blackout 13: Brawl That leaves seven more characters left according to the UPC codes. Let's assign and predict, shall we? THESE ARE PREDICTIONS, NOT CONFIRMATIONS. PLEASE DO NO BE CONFUSED. Predictions for unrevealed guys in italics. Deluxe: 630609629008 - Stryker 630609629015 - Stinger 630609629022 - Ratchet 630609629039 - Crowbar 630609629046 - Jazz 630609629053 - Lockdown 630609697694 - Bumblebee 630609697700 - Scorponok 630609707577 - Barricade 630609707584 - Ravage Voyager 630509628162 - Starscream 630509628179 - Optimus Prime 630509628186 - Megatron 630509652204 - Brawl 630509652235 - Ironhide 630509707560 - Soundwave 630509715374 - Shockwave Leader: 630509627837 - Grimlock 630509627844 - Blackout 630509627851 - The Fallen I'm so fucking excited for this line. I hope this is the collector-friendly movie line we've been waiting for since DOTM.
If we get a new leader Jetfire we might get something close to that dreaded led "scale" in vehicle mode, without the voicebox that the Takara designer hated designing the figure around back in ROTF and possibly an easier way to form armor for voyager Prime. As for voyagers I bet a new Sentinel with swords is on the way. Maybe the unknown leader is Grindor.
Now that's intresting So 4 deluxes 1 voyager and 1 leader Sounds like the missing wave 3 figures I wonder if wave 3 gets 2 voyagers ? If this indeed means a wave 3 for deluxe I have higher hopes for a 4th deluxe wave.
