*sigh*

 

So another Ultra Magnus with car trailer armor is possibly in the works? Because I would be down for something in Generations and not Masterpiece.

 

It's in Kingdom, I'm told that its... mediocre looking? It's a retooled Siege Magnus but more G1, and he looks "clunky, yet smooth" like the MP toy.

 

I'm happy that Titan Devy and Titans Return Blaster and Preceptor are perfectly decent in my book.

-ZacWilliam, not Studio Series screen accurate but very good toys enough that I can wait for future years without issue.

 

Well, the WFC versions of those characters are already better versions than the Prime Wars versions, so I doubt those were what they meant with that statement.

 

i agree, but i think the blaster is to tall now, and kinad sad we won't have a voyager size(unless blaster is actually pretty tall)

 

so all 5 of the original g1 dinobots are on the table instead of 4?

 

If I remember correctly (I was beyond tired when he said this, memory was really fuzzy that night) he said Slash isn't making the cut

 

No Slash is fine as she's not among the original 5, but I'd love a do over of Red Swoop (always liked the red color better for him).

 

Seems like everyone was upset about nothing, then. That seems like a given, though. I love Slash, but why would she be in an 86 movie line if she didn't exist until 2018 (or 2014, if you count AOE)?

 

nice. all i care about are grimlock, slag, sludge, snarl, and swoop  

 

well that good, kinda upset about no new blaster next year but oh well

 

Thanks for sharing all this. Much appreciated.

Incredibly disappointing that Blaster and Perceptor aren't on the cards (I'd already made peace with Devastator). I wonder if we'll get new versions of the Insecticons and the Junkions. I've already heard convincing talk of an SS:86 Wreck-Gar. Be nice for him to have some friends (though it'd be so odd if they were prioritised over someone like Perceptor). I imagine proper versions of Kranix and Arbulus would be too much to hope for.

 

I hope they get around to them down the road.

 

Ugh. I don't think I've ever been so desperate for a TF figure as I am for a new Blaster w/ his cassettes. Accepting that won't happen will suck. Do you know why those figures in particular aren't planned?

 

Nice to hear that it now seems all of the 5 original Dinobots are planned.
I don't mind the exclusions, too much, as I have Soundmixer and the existing Perceptor is pretty great.
Does this mean Blitzwing is on the "remake menu" now?
And the Insecticons?

 

Thanks again for sharing Pixelmaster!

Is there anything else you learned in your new intel today?

 

Well it seems that Blitzwing is in the back burner for now (nothing planned, but it was floating around in Hasbro HQ) and even if hasbro does do him it would at least take 3 years time.

my new source is super cryptic and knows pretty much everything till 2022, including pretty detailed things about how COVID is screwing around with budget, but he’s secretive and even if he tells us stuff it’s always vague as hell and is in riddles. He literally gave me the name of the final ER exclusive today but it’s coded. I’m currently trying to decrypt it but nothing seems to work

 

Thanks for the info!

Good to know that they are at least thinking about Blitzwing.
"Back burner" is still better than "wrapped up and put back in the freezer" or "dropped on the floor and thrown in the trash". LOL

Too bad the Covid is messing with Hasbro so badly.
Good luck with your decryption!

 

I really hope that the plans change, particularly Blaster.
