    I think he's the Cyclonus of the line. A stand alone torso that has no affiliated team.

    Does anyone else have any issues with the ratchet joints on Grimlocks shoulders? Mine is rather loose and unsockets somewhat easily. It doesn’t look to be a sign of breakage, but I noticed that the metal pin holding the ratchet in place is loose. Any thoughts?

    Yeah, that’s what I thought. In hindsight, I just don’t see anyone that can exclusively combine with Starscream. Maybe the combaticons?

    Couldn't agree more. A voyager Soundwave and Shockwave would be nice. Probably best that we most likely wont get them in this line. I don't need combiner torsos that compromise voyager sized versions of Soundwave or Shockwave.

    I have to say i'm feeling the same way. I could see Shockwave turning out alright, but thus far every POTP Voyager has some serious issues. I'd rather just wait till the next line and(possibly) have them done justice.

    I'm getting POTP Starscream (lack of better alternatives) so I'll give my opinions on that later, but I really hope we see a better Voyager Seeker mold in the future. I guess that's ungrateful, but the figure really suffers for the combiner gimmick....and the stickers.

    I saw a pretty cool digibash of a Shockwave remolded from Onslaught. Retool it into a more Shockwave exclusive chest, give the gun arm something to do and maybe retool the front end and I would be absolutely thrilled with such a toy.

    I think Soundwave might turn out unfortunate, however. A flat radio/tape deck seems fairly difficult to translate into a torso and a robot simultaneously. Then there's the idea of it coming from CW Optimus, which I am sure would at least cause a few complaints (personally, I think a "trailer armored" Magnus would be the better reuse.)

    That would be a definite skip for me. If POTP Starscream's proportions are a mess, CW Optimus proportions are a house explosion.

    ok so far we KNOW we are getting Elita, Moonracer, and Firestar. Are they any rumors for the other girls yet?

    Besides Unicronus, do you hope there will be more Leader Class Decepticons?

    Aside from the fact that Cindersaur may use Slash's mold and thus may get a gender change to match? No.

    In fact Firestar is the furthest away POTP toy we know of.

    I actually had hope TT was going to fix the whole missing 2 fembots situation ...But now seeing as they will more than likely release Hasbro`s versions it`s looking dim. :(  But you never know ...We don`t know for sure that what TT said does in fact mean that`s whats going to happen ... Fingers crossed guys and gals .

    Well, there’s likely:

    2+ waves beyond what we know.
    Store exclusives. (Wreck-Gar and Thundercracker rumored.)
    Tribute releases. (Maybe 2 or so a year?)
    Hascon/TRU releases.
    Box sets. Maybe.
    Comic-Con, maybe.
    Platinum sets if those are still a thing.

    My wishlist of sorts by the end of this line:

    -Legends Outback (virtually confirmed)
    -Legends Frenzy (blue boi)
    -Legends Eject
    -Legends Ratbat
    -Legends Slugfest (or titan master thing)
    -Legends Steeljaw
    -Legends Grand Slam/Raindance (though it would need the cassette gimmick as well, given the recent duocons is not super unlikely)
    -Legends Cliffjumper
    -Legends Goldbug (make him a beetle)
    -Legends Bumblebee (from above Goldbug)

    -Deluxe Firestar
    -Deluxe Lancer
    -Deluxe Greenlight
    -Deluxe Bluestreak (from Dead End with Prowl head/chest)
    -Voyager Shockwave (G1 lasergun mode doesn’t seem unlikely lately)

    -Leader Twincast
    -Leader Soundblaster

    -Titan Omega Supreme
    -Titan Unicron

    There are (probably) two more (full ish) waves from Hasbro that we don't know about (plus exclusives, etc). It's recently common for Hasbro to release 9 deluxe figures over the the winter/spring waves. That could pretty easily work out to, among other options:
    1. 2 Fembots, 3 Autobot cars, 4 for a new combiner (e.g. Seacons)
    2. 4 for new combiner 1 (e.g. Seacons), 4 for new combiner 2 (e.g. Monstructor), 1 rando (Sideswipe?)
    3. 4 for a new combiner, 5 randos
    Et cetera, et cetera
    I think it's far too early to presume we definitely will not see Greenlight and Lancer from Hasbro

    As to Takara, we'll probably get the June solicitations leaked in the next week or so, and those should be illuminating (unless they're just Bumblebee toys). Given what was announced for May and what was not, given what was said in the Figure King article and what was not, there's plenty of wiggle room for a smaller scale version of UW 2.0 to be announced. We'll see, of course*, but I think Takara had too much success w/the UW line (by their own admission) to drop it completely.

    *One alternative could be that Takara wants to release single packs of their combiner teams all at once (e.g. June has all the Dinobots in it), and Hasbro asked them to wait to do that until after the figures hit the US
