I don’t know anything specific this time around. But the following are on distributors lists for pre-orders in the 1st/2nd quarter. Legacy evo wave 2: Core Thundercracker Core Nemesis Prime Core Grimlock Deluxe Shrapnel Deluxe Animated Prowl Deluxe Crosscut Deluxe Junkion 2 Voyager Metalhawk Voyager Twincast Leader Prime Skyquake Leader Laser Optimus Prime PR Studio series 2023 wave 1: Leader ROTB Scourge Studio series 2023 wave 2: Core 86 Ironhide Deluxe WFC Barricade Deluxe WFC Bumblebee Voyager WFC Optimus Prime Leader 86 Snarl Selects: Titan Guardian Robot Collab: Project bear. So it could be anything from there or what ever store exclusives they have planned for the first half of the year.
I really want the new WFC figures to be revealed already. Voyager WFC Optimus is a dream come true. I also need to know what Project Bear is (Please tell me is a revived Polar Claw).
ROTB stuff is excluded because they have "revealed" it and put on preorder right? i feel like they might go over them again formally
While it most likely won't happen, I lowkey really want Project Bear to be Freddy Fazbear just to see how ridiculous that'll be lol
I am curious to know if we are anywhere near being offered the new Capsule lines yet, though that may be much later in the year. I guess they could "reveal" Retro G1 Hound or something like that or the couple of Beast Wars reissues that just came out. They are quite capable of revealing a bunch of stuff we have already seen, but I don't mind if they show off that Core Freezer a bit more as it's supposed to do things not shown in the pictures. In terms of what i'd like them to show, well other than some new capsule lines from Walmart, Target and Amazon. Some of the Rise of the Beasts stuff we have not seen yet might be nice, I supposed it's "barely possible" they might show something from Earthspark, but they usually pretend that sort of things doesn't exist accept when showing off an entirely new line, so I'd be very surprised if they mentioned Earth Spark or Botbots ever again. I am not expecting much as rumours seem to suggest with wave four being so early they might need to spin their wheels for a while yet. But then there is stuff that has been produced they will have to own up to eventually like Medix, Crosscut and so on. I'll be happy if we get at least one thing worth talking about (not Cheetor) I'd be pleased to see another Core Class Dinobot or maybe another Studio Series... we are supposed to be due a Core Class Ironhide and a Voyager Class Ratchet after all. (Not that I can find Rumble or Ironhide yet).
I feel like anyone expecting an official reveal of Hound is setting themselves up for disappointment. Hasbro barely acknowledges the Buzzworthy line, and rarely announces anything in it. It's not impossible, just rare/unlikely.
Prediction time! I bet it’ll be Legacy Evo wave 2. Pretty much the entirety of it has leaked out, excluding Voyagers, the 4rth deluxe, and the (presumably) other 2 cores. And maybe RotB wave 1, plus Scourge! Or perhaps that project bear… please be something dumb, please be something dumb! Anyways I really hope it’s Evo wave 2, I need me Prowl, Junkion2, and Skyquake!
Really want to see the WFC figures, but won’t get my hopes up. Expecting the only fresh reveals to be the Core figures, Crosscut, Shrapnel, Junk2’s name, and Metalhawk.
Im hoping to see awful recolors of characters we want, at inflated prices! With clip on wheels, and windowless boxes!
Anybody else feel like there's less time between official reveal/POs up and estimated ship dates this year? It's only a little over 2 months until most of the wave 1 ship dates (seeing April 1st a lot) and Scourge hasn't had an official reveal. My memory isnt perfect, but it feels like a year or two ago preorders were up 5 or 6 months before the estimated ship date. Just a thought. Seems SS Leader Scourge HAS to be revealed, I'll tell myself that wave 2 won't be revealed so I can be pleased if it is. 2023, for me, is countdown to SS86 Snarl.
It's probably just a reveal of Legacy Evolution Wave 2. We've seen everything except for Core Grimlock, Core Nemesis Prime, Deluxe Shrapnel and the Voyager Class figures Metalhawk and Twincast. But finally we will get to know the true identity of the motorcycle Junkion, and we'll get to know how Metalhawk will look like.
i'm betting we'll see: legacy evo wave 2 SS scourge maybe the Guardian sentinel thats really the lot, cause even then that's over 10 figures if they reveal the wave 2 cores
I'm not going to assume anything, and I won't be disappointed by whatever they show. Lessons learned. That said, in the event of Evo Wave 2, I'm very curious to see Metalhawk. I want a badass Metalhawk so bad. The TR one is good, but something better is certainly possible. That said, I'm not getting my hopes up for a new mold. Probably a retool/shared engineering type figure. If I absolutely had to guess, I suspect from Armada Starscream. Though G2 Jhiaxus wouldn't surprise me either. Just please don't suck! Any thoughts on what they might call the new Junkion?
On the off chance that Metalhawk has the stupid fucking person face i will be extremely annoyed and then buy as many as I can because it’d be too fucking funny
