    It seems that Commander class was forgotten in those leaks

    Not much jumping out for me. Interested in the WFC figures. And probably that one Junkion who's actually Lockdown.
    Curious to see what they do to Tarn to make him Bludgeon. I was debating picking up Tarn, but not too keen on buying the same mold twice. I have more attachment to Bludgeon (the ROTF figure rocks), so I think I'll hold out.

    Holy fish paste :eek:  please let Strongarm &
    Shadowstriker be real!!! Sad that Shadowstriker will probably be a generic Elita repaint, but if Strongarm’s a new mold… :D

    Who I'll be getting:

    Legacy Wave 3
    Axelgrease, Beachcomber

    Legacy Wave 4
    Junkion (and Bludgeon if he's good)

    Studio Series
    Not that much but might pick up Core Bumblebee and WFC Barricade (because I love Barricade so much I have no idea why).

    Unnecessary note:
    Yeah I don't really feel like collecting this year. Partly because of my new Gunpla hobby but mainly because of budget and studies and I just don't have motivation anymore. Life shall get tougher as time goes on and on, as it happens you'll slowly lose motivation to do shit.

    Looks like most of the things I'm interested in got moved from wave 3 to wave 4. That's fine, my wallet could use the break.

    Every iteration of Dreadwing brings us one step closer (in my delusionally hopeful mind) to a gimmick-accurate G2 Dreadwing. :lol 

    This sounds like a cool lineup. Armada Megs will be neat I suspect.

    Oh hey, a PR of core starscream. I just missed that guy when I started tf collecting.

    Let me see if I can find a skywarp online still, and I'll make a core class seekers collection

    Most of these are maybes for me, probably won't preorder them unless they turn out to be amazing when finally revealed. The core Dinobots prioritized their combining feature over their individual bot & dino modes, but I would like a teeny pteranodon and ankylosaurus. I'm eager to see Devcon and Axelgrease, will probably preorder both unless Devcon is just a mediocre Blurr retool. I want Dirge and Armada Megs, but I don't know if I can budget for them, especially with:

    This wave will break me. Shadowstriker, Strongarm, Bombshell, the voyager Junkion, and Dreadwing are all must have preorders, and I'd love to have second copies of the first three for future customs unless they are objectively terrible (like Universe Galvatron levels of terrible). I'd love to have Detritus and Bludgeon too, but I don't know if I can swing them. If previous years are an indication, the final Evolution wave will be difficult to find on retail shelves and even preorders aren't a guarantee.

    All that and trying to find the money to squeeze in the titans Omega Sentinel and Nemesis, commanders of Armada Prime and 86 Magnus, the WfC stuff in Studio Series, and whatever yet unrevealed stuff from Walmart's capsule and Target's Buzzworthy... ouch.

    Edit:
    I figured as much, but thank goodness for the confirmation. Hopefully she'll be excellent so it'll tempt Universe Shadow Striker fans to pick her up too... and thus Hasbro would be in¢entivi$ed to give us her sister Roulette down the road too.

    Unless we have more info I'm waiting on Strongarm until we know if it's RiD2015 or UT. Either feels viable as there's a multitude of molds that could turn in to either.

    Not much to leak. We know who the Commander is and he isn't coming in an assortment.

    I hope someone can ask him if Axelgrease is a muscle car or not.

    Medix is not a selects figure, and honestly I still don’t know where he’s releasing at the moment.

    I'm guessing he's releasing at Walgreens, seems likely with all that medic stuff going on.
    A more far-fetched theory I have would be that Medix is one of the capsule line Deluxes.

    And EVEN MORE unlikely theory I have is that Medix is cancelled and whatever that figure is, it's just some factory sample that popped up in lucky collector's hands.
