    No clue, unfortunately. Probably early next year, but people who have access to case assortment info like @Jtprime17 would know more than me.

    form the ones revealed i want dotm laserbeak if its real i still down know why would they make it with the scale they are using and the accesory that comes with dotm ss soundwave
    depending on how they design it, tf7 wheelie might interest me, , probably dragon megatron, skybyte core and voyager starscream, not interested in anyone else
    ok, maybe core bumblebee movie ravage, but that is just maybe

    all i want is hasbro to make, core ROTF ravage(i know the one on the listing is bumblebee movie)
    tlk onslaught, tlk trench (remolded from scrapper, not from scrapmetal)
    rotf buckethead(just because)
    dotm devcon, and 2007 arcee, but lets be honest that wont happen

    1) Motormaster doesn't necessarily have more mass inherently. He has the potential to have way more shit that he needs to do compared to the others that could require a higher budget and more plastic. He has the cab and trailer main body, a possible second trailer depending on how Sunbow accurate they want to go, potential car drone which although non-transforming is still a factor, a sword for Motormaster, a sword for Menasor (which could be the same sword with attachments. Still a factor), a gun or two, and if speculation is true, all the combiner hands and feet. All of that would require more actual plastic (which is literally more mass) to get done.

    Silverbolt, Hot Spot, and Onslaught, are just a concord jet, a firetruck, and an artillery truck without much artillery respectively. The only other stuff they have to worry about are possibly the combiner hands and feet if they aren't packed with the limbs, and weapons.

    And 2) Jetfire was scaled based on his alt mode. There's presedent for it, it may be an exception rather than the rule, but there is presedent. And either way, that was just speculation as the only way I could see Commander price being justifiable for Silverbolt. NOT a serious suggestion as to what I would want to see.

    A thought has crossed my mind.

    We are getting a core class TF3 Laserbeak… but we already got Laserbeak packed with DotM Soundwave.

    This got me thinking. What would they do to justify an entire new figure? What form of DotM Laserbeak would be different enough while simultaneously fitting the Core Class price point?

    And then it hit me.

    Hope this is the case, just for everyone who didn't get the Walmart exclusive. I was able to grab one for myself, but everyone needs a chance at him.

    If it is him, I'm happy to see it's not tied to Walmart in any way. Here's hoping we get a Selects Soundblaster (& Twincast).

    Yeah, that's the argument that I tend to use. So we're in agreement and pretty much on the same page here.

    We also must consider that Hasbro probably wants to keep each combiner about the same size, and keep the component bots roughly in scale with the rest of modern Generations(about 1:35)

    If Motormaster has extra parts that contribute to Menasor that the other Scramble city combiners don't have corresponding parts to themselves, then Menasor might be larger than the others, and I don't think that Hasbro would want that.

    Nope, Jetfire was 100% scaled according to robot mode. His alt mode would be a LOT larger if he were scaled according to that. But his bot mode is approximately 2 Ironhides tall or about 3 Bumblebees tall.

    See scale chart:

    And yes, I did just use "Bumblebee" as a unit of measurement :lol

    With the remour that Eject (I believe) is coming with Blaster at a voyager price point there’s a possibility that this Soundwave will come with buzzsaw.

    I wouldn't mind them redoing the combiners but I'd MUCH rather they do it in 1 box set (Titan price) rather than using a commander and taking 1/4 of the deluxe slots we usually get. In all honesty, most that are going to buy part of any combiner are going to buy ALL the combiner...I'd much prefer those 4 slots go to characters like Horri-Bull, Squeezeplay, Siren and Needlenose

    I actually don't think it'd be too unlikely. CW Devastator may have been reissued recently but the mold was still done like 5 years ago and doesn't really scale with everything else even from then. As much as we can joke about proper scale and such the WFC Trilogy actually seemed to put effort into that to a higher degree than previous lines with the sole exception of the Studio Series line which did the same thing for the movies. Just knowing that and the fact that Menasor actually wasn't that far off from Devstator from Menasor in CW it'd make a ton of sense to redo him as well.

    I'm not saying it won't EVER happen, but they JUST reissued it so it's not going to be for a LONG long time

    I understood what you meant. I just don't see a reissue stopping them from doing a new one within a year anyway.

    We'll have to wait how Motormaster works, as he could easily be commander while still not being massive in torso mode. Meanwhile Hot Spot/Silverbolt/Onslaught could be Leaders and stay roughly the same size as they have alot less to do.

    Then why would they bother reissuing it?

    To milk cash from that mold right before a new one? Takara did the Selects Dinobots right around when SS86 started doing Dinobots, so could be the case.

    Devastator is up there with the most popular ones of all time, and they are construction vehicles which in my experience kids like.

    I hope they don’t use the TR Constructicons again. First off, the individual robot modes are way too big. Second, they’re very flimsy. Also, while it’s great to have a giant Devastator, I’d rather have one robot the wrong size than six.

    They already did just use them again, with that reissue a few months ago. If they DO ever get around to the G1 Constructicons again I do expect new molds, but again given the reissue so recently I'm not expecting it to happen soon.
