    I need devcon when it is officially revealed.
    Tigerhawk is nice, might get him.
    But That Leader is a must!

    I think they're talking about 86 dinobots.

    The reveals are nothing really new unfortunately thanks to previous leaks. Imo they need to do a better job trying to get ahead of some of these leaks. Metalhawk is probably a purchase and Scourge. Other than that I'm pretty meh on most of these. Maybe Prowl too depending on how it does in reviews.

    So are we finally gonna get a black repaint of Lio Convoy in Copy Convoy’s actual on-screen colors?

    Also (and I know this is wishful thinking), would anyone like a Diaclone pilot-sized figure of human Metalhawk as an accessory to the bot?

    If they start reacting to the leaks, then the leakers will just start revealing stuff even earlier. We already know most of the line for this year and some of the next.

    Do y'all reckon the spacebridge reveals are all wave 3? I mean you have two deluxes in Devcon n Beachcomber, as well as Axelgrease who has a 50/50 shot at being deluxe or voyager. Two voyagers in Nemesis Lio n Dirge, Megatron as a leader. Just missing one delxue n the cores n the commander + titan (which I'd guess they're keeping as they don't want to fully reveal the wave layout). Or do you think these're random figures from the rest of the line?

    Not both, G2 Dreadwing has a completely different gimmick of 2 jets becoming a single jet via internal docking whereas the Predators gimmick (in this context) is one small jet docking on top of a larger jet (or missile carrier). Besides, Skyquake is getting repainted into Prime Dreadwing anyway.

    These are almost becoming a waste of time. They \"Reveled\" what 5 new figures that we didn\'t already know about, and most of them were core class. And we knew they were going to do those, as well as more Deluxe Insecticons. I want to See the Rest of the Studio Series Leader Dinobots, or the Nemesis that we have gotten rumors on. Or Actual Mock-ups of Coneheads in the Recent Voyager Seeker Molds.......Something. Like, I havn\'t bothered wanting to watch these anymore, becuase it\'s not worth the 1 hr of seeing 90% of things that are either been shown on this site, seibertron.com......or had full out Hands on Reviews on Youtube....

    soooo if they're repacking Dirge, and if I remember we have listings for Ramjet that leaves Thrust. Repack Coneheads can they repack Runabout?

    When Beachcomber was shown off Ben made a point of saying that this doesn't mean he is coming out next or how they look in the pictures will be how the figures will look, just that he will in the future. My guess is that Aramda Megatron is definitely Wave 3 though as they will want to get out another Leader figure that isn't a PR or a redeco of the Leader that just came out.

    Wave 3 leaks has shocking been close to what was seen in the pipeline reveals. It's most likely going to be Wave 3, I mean if it were me there I wouldn't tease something that would be released near the end of the year (Wave 4) I would just tease it in the next reveal event as a pipeline reveals for that event.

    Shrapnel is absolutely perfect!!! Ok...what exactly is the Through the Space Bridge thing again? Is this another exclusive sub-line? (Didn't have time to go through the stream)

    If you don't want to be spoiled prior to official reveals, don't pay attention to leaks.

    Except had they "confirmed" him today like you're suggesting they should it would have been the exact same thing. A pic of Armada Optimus, likely from back during the UT days. Hell, it probably would've been the same pic they used in the key art but blown up.

    It's not a secret when he's on every box that goes out to retailers.

    Not really. The only way you'd know what wave was teased is if you had access to leaks. To an outsider these could come at any time between now and the end of Evolution.

    In the same vein, it's possible some of the names they didn't pipeline are because they may not be 1:1 recreations of the source material the character is most known for. So teasing any specific art from a past season may give people the wrong impression and teasing a name wouldn't be quite the same since the fun of "Axelgrease" is he's a new character so nobody really knows what he's gonna be (unless you know leaks and assume he's the next Junkion).

    I will say that if it’s just a rerelease “Dirge” with no change in deco just show the already established figure art not a jpeg rip of the cartoon.

    Crashbar: I'll be buying this one. I really like this approach to the junkions and it's good to finally flesh them out. I don't mind Junkion bikes at deluxe class since they're all weird anyways.

    Shrapnel:
    Skip. I prefer the Legends figure from T30, so I'll wait for Chop Shop and let them be different molds.

    Crosscut:
    Skip. Not bad, but I already have three versions of this mold so I'll keep my T30 Crosscut for mold diversity.

    Animated Prowl:
    Reluctant skip. It's tempting and I want to support Animated reps in Legacy, but I already have the Earthrise Prowl. If Animated Prowl were a core class bike in a similar vein to the og legends figure, I'd probably cave and buy it. A deluxe earth bike will never look good in alt mode next to everyone else.

    Twincast/Rewind:
    Definitely bought, but basically just for Rewind. I've been waiting since Siege for a Rewind at this scale, and I'm not missing out on my boy now. Purely because of the character this is my most anticipated reveal ever. I do still wish they would have just cast Twincast's chest in opaque black plastic so that Rewind doesn't have to be clear, but I'll take it either way.

    Metalhawk:
    Looks dope, bought.

    Skyquake:
    Looks REALLY dope, bought.

    Overall a good lineup of reveals today, but I'd probably be a lot less enthused if Rewind weren't there. Now that I can finally unclench, my next-most-anticipated reveal will be the Nemesis. I really hope the rumors pan out and they actually make her a female titan. Preferably with the chunks of the ship forming huge wings. Real Angel-of-Death-vibes.

    It's just pipeline reveals (basically confirming a specific character is going to get released in the near-ish future)
