If you mean the SS RotB figures, Optimus Prime is a maybe as it is a voyager iirc and there is only 1 Voyager reveal for the SS wave so far. As for Primal maybe. He is a Leader and it has been a couple years since they did two SS Leader in one wave but they might want to get him out before the film's release.
Yeah this is an interesting lineup. Hasbro made the interesting choice to make it a mixed wave to start the year at first, and then changed course when it became apparent it would make more sense to push movie product for a film coming out in a few months. Why this wasn’t the plan from the start, I don’t know. But the wave feels pretty gutted, especially now since they kicked Primal to wave 3. That one really makes no sense.
It could be due to the mainline Primal possibility dropping in wave 1 for mainline stuff, so they don’t want them out at the same time. He meant ROTB mainline.
Lol it is so hard to figure out what someone means by "mainline" on here as so many people consider Generations the mainline.
Probably gonna get even harder when we start seeing a character both in the ROTB mainline and SS like Cheetor or Airazor.
Maybe finally that Velocitron Hot Rod? I keep thinking more about custom ideas and now I really want him lol. Or would that only happen at a specific Walmart event?
- The Instagram post included #Legacy as a hashtag - Same instagram post had a Grimlock gif attached, and Core Grimlock is in wave 2 - Metalhawk and Twincast are definitely going up for preorder tomorrow, that's why we suddenly have official images - The last Wave 1 Studio Series ROTB guy, Scourge, was already revealed today
Yup, I wonder if the SS hashtag was just that they are gonna show off wave 1 of ROTB SS stuff again on stream or does it mean something for Buzzworthy also (Hound and Hatchet)?
There's non-ROTB SS stuff that can be revealed. I don't know the timetable of all of these, but there's a Core Frenzy and Core Ironhide coming, there's Deluxe Brawn, there's Voyager Ratchet, Snarl's in the wave after Scourge, and OH YEAH there's an entire range of War for Cybertron video game toys mixed in with these guys.
And it wouldn't surprise me if Metalhawk and Twincast/Rewind are going to be in-stock drops, considering BBTS had the listings noted for an early February date, I don't recall the exact date.
I hadn't seen the Instagram post, but yeah I agree that we're definitely seeing Legacy wave 2 tomorrow. Honestly though, at this point I've seen everything I'm going to buy.
