    Going back through last years calendar of drops, notably Studio series 86 got public airings with Starscream and Sludge. So I am leaning towards the revealing of Snarl, Brawn and Ratchet, unless he is chosen as an exclusive which is common in Hasbro\'s fan first as it helps to promote a particular store on advertising too. Which is also why I think movie retro toys next wave will get shown. They like to make collectors feel the nostalgia. Reissueing G1 toys in cartoon deco is something they want us to lock onto. Could be the reason the designers chose to do their latest interview with toys are russ on youtube, due to his fabulous old school collection. They\'ve made the first quite difficult to get to hype the anxiety. They\'ll no doubt be making loads and they\'ll be half price by Christmas. Not expecting to see Legacy Evolution wave 2 until next month, but maybe early like in a couple of weeks.

    *spins the wheel*

    *lands on G2 Grimlock*

    Well, that’s just random enough to be revealed.

    That’s not Wreck-Gar; that’s Hasbro’s original character Breck-Gar.

    They’re the same thing. Comics and manga.

    Manga is just Japanese comics, just like how anime is nothing more than Japanese cartoons. In all practical sense, they're the same medium.

    Yes.
    Please Hasbro, some genuine and especially, coherent "Masterforce" love.

    And just because a part of the fandom lost interest after the 86 movie and thus isn't invested in late 80's TF designs,
    please, do the aesthetic of the Pretender Inner bots justice. Compared to the original G1 cast, the Pretenders featured nimble ninja-like proportions;
    maybe take that as a foundation concept; hyper articulated inner robots.

    They have Grimlock on the front which can mean 1 of three things: they reveal SS86 Snarl, they tease SG Grimlock, or the reveal Walmart exclusive velocitron leader G2 Grimlock.

    We've gotten so much ROTB stuff lately, hopefully this will be Evolution wave 2 or at least proper reveals of those Buzzworthy figures or something.

    Maybe or he wanted a gif of something TF's and that's the first thing that popped up on IG or that he liked.

    I'm not gonna read into it.

    This means nothing. They never give hints like this. Last year in the February fan stream it used a picture of Megatron just like this announcement and quoted Megatron as well. People started believing that this meant we would see Legacy Wave 2 since it was mostly made up of Decepticons and all the "hints" pointed that way. The only time they ever gave a hint about an upcoming stream was when they announced what would be the Victory Saber HasLab reveal by ending the announcement with "Lets Say GO!"

    While SG or G2 Grimlock would be awesome, its most likely just pointing to Core Grimlock.

    I don't think they'll be revealed together, I think Hound will be revealed after Detritus since Detritus is a mainline figure and Hound is exclusive.

    Curious to see Core Grimlock, with him and the others not having to be a torso I think they will turn out a bit better.

    Pictures of Hound have already leaked online though. It would make more sense for the figure to be leaked first is the one that will release first. Also Detritus looks to be Evo Wave 4 based on product listings so it will be extremely weird if G1 Hound got leaked in late 2022 but then doesn’t release until late 2023 or even early 2024.

    That is a reason I wouldn’t be suprised because of that he’s revealed on this steam, like how kast year they revealed Buzzworthy Cliff, Kup and B-127.
