    Aw, just checked Amazon. Looks like they just put the wrong photos on the listing (scroll way down, they have the correct photos for the item) :(

    Good morning Threadizens! Drunkleak guy in Leaks thread 2.0 claims Legacy will feature Headmaster Jrs - Nightbeat, Selects Siren, and Hosehead. Exciting if true!

    Edit: and Studio Series Grindor w/Ravage for sale on eBay, apparently:

    HASBRO TRANSFORMERS STUDIO SERIES #73 GRINDOR & RAVAGE ACTION FIGURE | eBay

    Not sure what to make of that! Except obvs it's the same size as Blackout and the character is supposed to be bigger, but the days of upscaled KOs may be over (at least for now).
    Certainly I no longer have mine....except for BMB's OSKO of MPM BeeBee, as he's the perfect size to go with BTalts.

    Definitely down for these if they happen! Only one thing missing to recreate The Big Shutdown... ;) 

    Shame, would have been a hell of a bargain!

    I've had a look and can't find the email, checked suppliers and I think I've confused myself along the way. It might be something I saw from a supplier on Facebook who I wouldn't trust as far as I can spit a piano but I follow them because they usually announce these things about 3 days before they are anywhere else.


    Cheers dude, glad it finally got to you!

    Here's hoping they get their unique chestplates at least if they're the mould-share that implies, I wonder if we're looking at a new buck, or a possible reuse of the Chromedome/Breakaway bod for the car lads? If Hosehead has the proper Fire truck alt., I may just upgrade!

    I suspect this was your Hasbaiting Voodoo at work! :)  My Siren is TR "Loudmouth" on truckplane Optimus' body, which merely shows that human facial recognition is a useful thing. :) 

    I'd expect new deer (not nude ear), to fit with the NuScale? Ankle-tilts and so on. That would make the heads too small to swap with TR though. And Studio Series Cogman is a straight repaint of the TLK (ie TR) figure. Hmmm. Fingas cross't for the correct alts! :cool:

    I'd imagine everyone has everything already but I've reduced almost all my Kingdom stock and SS86 Jazz is now £18.99. Might do Star Wars Black next if anyone is after particular figures?

    Fair point. Though kind of surprising X-Panse didn't get the axe if Disney were really against it... if we're lucky Disney doesn't consider Hasbro and/or IDW too big direct competition and might be open to more cross promotions in the future :) 
    Now, if Transformers comics were done by DC and/or Hasbro was owned by Warner Bros it'd be a very different story :lol 
    I forget, are Warner connected at all to the Transformers movies?

    Pffft, if I'd been drinking at the time I think I would have done a spittake! :lolol 

    Fun! Reminds me of how movie novelisations are often a bit different because they're generally based off slightly earlier versions of the script. Wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened here. I'm almost certain I've seen a scan of an earlier version of the Movie script which had similar dialogue to this page but can't for the life of me remember where. :confused: 

    :lol Well, at least it's red!

    Thanks for having a look but that's fine :)  I did a general search yesterday and based on the price on TFSource and doing a google currency conversion it looks like it'd probably be around £120 ish which might be a bit much for me for a character I've no real connection to... and I say that while eyeing an almost £200 figure of 2b from Nier Automata with a bunch of accessories :lol  but then I have got quite attached to her!

    Absolutely! Can't imagine she won't happen.

    One Omnibot in the main Generations line and the other two as exclusives, reckon that too shall come to pass. **Gandalf looks up from his pipe**

    Also this is a thing, not a thing I intend to buy, but a thing nonetheless:

    I think the Omnibots are a little like Needlenose and Star Saber - they failed to win a poll and so got sent to the back of the queue for their troubles.

    If you find the answer I'd love to know! I only looked at these (honest!) because I couldn't see the difference. There's a picture on each one that has the accessories that's probably a bit different. You'd probably need a side-by-side though, and I can't do that on my phone

    Edit: convinced myself to check, and what I said above is correct, it's the weapons

    Viacom own Paramount who own TF and are half-heartedly trying to launch their own mini content empire but that's a problem when you've previously let Michael Bay, Jar Jar Abrahms and other clowns near TFs, TMNT, Star Trek and whatever else. Most of their big IPs have gone to IDW from memory.

    Yeah, I believe the Ladybird TFTM book is based on an early script draft from something I read years ago. It's why I love movie novels especially, I realised I knew what the deleted scenes were in Aliens before I actually saw that version, and Highlander has some fantastic little details about Kurgan's ascendancy.

    I've heard excellent things about the Ratbat KO, but nothing about the others unfortunately
