    Airachnid? ... sounds random and ******ed.

    I suppose there's still the possibility that it could somehow be worthwhile, but it's not exactly one of those things that instantly jumps out at you as a brilliant idea.

    I'd prefer if it's something of little consequence, like maybe a repaint of the new scoutclass Insecticon mold.

    I think the first post and news story needs to be edited based upon S250's newest posts. This is more likely to be two toys, an update of Scorponok and Trypticon than anything related to Airachnid. That was a good guess based on his tweets, but further information has pretty much ruled out that possibility.

    Leader class Scorponok and Trypticon would be pretty cool.

    Though I'm not sure if Hasbro would release two Decepticon Leader class figures. Maybe one is Grimlock.

    If this turns out to be Scorponok and Trypticon this would be the greatest thing ever in the history of everything.

    Maybe they merge into Airachnid? Just a thought.

    Edit: Kinda hope the dino isn't Grimlock. Nothing against Grimmy by any means, but I personally would MUCH rather have a new Trypticon.

    I don't know your source, but if it's a production line source, is it possible that Hasbro's Masterpiece Grimlock figure could be mixed up in this? Someone who didn't know what it was might describe it as a leader class dinosaur figure.

    Similarly maybe Takara are working on an encore Scorponok reissue.

    Do you think your source would recognise these?

    good to know, it was just a possibility that had occurred to me.

    Would they know if it was from WFC, or is it definitely the new TF show? ...Do you expect to hear more about this in the immediate future?

    Scorponok? Leader class?

    Hope it looks closer to Classics than movieverse.

    Can you clarify that these are (potentially) TWO new Leader-Class figures, or two figures that're being sold as a leader-class set (round size of two voyagers, plus light/sound gimmicks).

    Would like to see it as Trypticon and Scorponok, but if TF:p  is following on from the films, it would not make sense to have Scorps, since he's dead.

    I can't clarify anything so far,2 new leader class what I heard.but sometimes rumor source not sure how to define class.about 8 months ago I heard about Leader class Bumblebee,but it's named cyber battle ops bumblebee eventrually.
    what I heard is
    Leader toy1,scorpion-like thing,sound & light
    Leader toy2,trypticon-like thing,sound & light
