    I *think* wreckgar said Core class will be continuing; we're getting BB Ravage in SS, I don't know about Generations.

    Core class combiners would be perfect for Monstructor/Dinoking, and Landcross.

    I'd go Voyager on Airachnid so you could leverage the helicopter mode to beef up her spider legs. And I'd absolutely go for the spider legs instead of a traditional bot mode.

    Also, since she's never been in G1, scale is irrelevant. She could be intimidating and tower over people.

    And many could leverage existing molds or be variations on them to save budget for new molds on guys like Slash/Scorn.

    Star Dasher from Siege Astrotrain.

    I'd love to see a Combiner Wars-compatible Grimstone so I have a use for those PotP Dinobots in my closet right now.

    And these.

    I actually think she could be done as a Deluxe. Blackarachnia is fairly good at that price point, even with her spider legs and Legion Airachnid already proved you can get the general look down on a lower budget. As for the spider mode, that should be doable by simply folding up the legs. If they don't go for total show accuracy, I don't see how they could mess it up, although I do hope they attempt show accuracy.

    Do you guys want an unfathomably cool leader class figure? Consoom when the time is right. I expect a listing in a year for The One who guides us on that Path.

    The clues:

    3A5F8C6D-EE24-459A-B281-3E4C3A6815DC.jpeg
    Leader size
    The One
    Path
    Possibly “Consoom”

    My guesses are either BW Neo Unicron or Metrotitan, since there’s talk of JG1 and no Titan Class in the future.

    I’m very likely wrong tho.

    Wasn’t Titan Class confirmed to be coming back? Honestly, I’m thinking it could be Deathsaurus or Star Saber considering they have CAD files from the POTP poll.

    It was never confirmed to be dead. That's the other problem with where we're heading with leaks.

    It's no longer just about toys, now we've got "leaks" about internal conversations at Hasbro. Which really could mean NOTHING since we've got no context for where, when, or among who the talks are happening.

    Internal conversations about ending certain pricepoints or speculation that "this is a reboot" just cause further overhype/speculation and unnecessary panic.

    Because "there's been talks of..." X or Y turned in to "this is what's happening."

    We don't know if Titans are dead, we don't know if there'll be two Commanders a year...the leaks are getting out of control and it's going to cause HasTak to clamp down hard.

    It happened this past year in Japan with BoJ/Toei. Leaks got way out of hand to such an extent it was causing fans to freak out and harass their various accounts/staff online. So they went the other direction and clamped down hard to stop the speculation train from going off the rails.

    While that'd be accurate to the G1 toys and how they were in the Marvel Comics . . . IDW Monstructor or bust.

    Landcross, though ....

    I'm guessing Longarm Prime. Leader class will allow a voyager with multiple modes including Longarm and, well, that'd be spoiling it, wouldn't it. ;) 
    Decade plus spoiler alert!
    Edit: if not, add that to my other era CHUG list.

    I'm just going to start "leaking" things suggesting I know the inside dealings of Hasbro. I'll never leak a figure, but I'll leak all kinds of chatter because it's just chatter so even if it never pans out it doesn't matter because it's all just internal. And if I actually hit on something, hey cool now I'll have credibility and can ride it.

    Hell, I should have done that back during the tail end of Combiner Wars. While everyone was freaking out about the standalone Voyager Scattershot I was sitting back going "They're going to make the rest." Never wavered.

    Sure enough, Botcon Ramhorn was revealed and then we had our first Weibo leaks of the box art for Computron.

    I should have ridden that train all the way to "leaker" stardom.

    Heavy retool of Siege Shockwave for the full homage.

    Who's playing? My sources say the reason there's been all this confusion over the Amazon sets is because originally it was going to be Nightprowler, but then they realized with Grimlock and Skywarp they could test the waters for a Maximal Council set that could make some use out of Tigatron and Rhinox. There's some concern about investing in that much retooling. But if all goes well phase 3 would be Big Convoy at retail with a Selects Ultra Mammoth.

    The references to time make me think Vector Prime.

    Your source wouldn’t have an among us themed email on a fake-sounding website, would he?
