    This is totally wrong.

    We’ve already seen a lot of these figures, and heard from a reliable source that MOST of the line is new molds.

    Ratchet: could well be a repaint, but we don’t know.

    Bumblebee: listed on the leak as being from tf6, so this’ll be our first crack at the VW Version.

    Stinger: could be a repaint, but fingers crossed. Though his alt. mode is correct on the leak (even if it is a placeholder)

    Crowbar: berserker remold

    Optimus and starscream: optimus at least looks like a new mold, don’t know about screamer.

    Grimlock: new mold, FAR more accurate

    Only ones I'm truly interested in are MPM05 and Blackout ( maybe Grimlock).

    Deluxe Decepticon Stinger - going by the leaks, hopefully it really is the Pagani alt-mode version.

    Deluxe Decepticon Crowbar - remold of Berserker? Though I also want a toy of that four-legged Dread.

    Leader Blackout - All these years, finally.

    I wish the Voyager Optimus Prime was a better
    version of the TLK one, but it looks like it's his original Earth mode. Perhaps, later.

    I'm looking forward to more details on these guys. I'll probably avoid most of the repaints, in favour of the remolds and completely new figures, though.

    With our luck most of these guys will just be repaints.  Except for Blackout and MPM-05 of course.

    Ohhhh yeeeahhhhh :p 

    This might beat the ROTF movie line, they just need to push out as many new molds as possible. Even what we've seen so far is awesome. But I still don't want to make a wish list because I did that for TLK, and, you know, what happened with the TLK line :mad: :(

    I need to see pics first, of what these things look like.
    I'm getting MPM05 Barricade, regardless.
    If it's a decent render, I'll also get Blackout.

    The new chug movie line will have both Hasbro and Takara logo like the MPMs. So their release dates will be very close.

    There’s a bunch of new TF product dropping on April 20th. I’d be willing to be that this line will be part of it.

    Sweet. Wasn't collecting when the first movie came out, so never really got those character. But a leader Blackout would be cool. Nice to see it confirmed.

    Ditto with Grimlock. The leak already got me plenty hyped for him.

    This listing is more exciting than the entirety of Hasbro's presence at SDCC, NYCC, and all of Hascon

    So I’m confused. Are these only going to released by Takara, or are Hasbro themselves a part of this as well (in other words, will these be released at all retailers worldwide)?

    These are my assumptions for the Sizes based on prices.
    Also going from the prices, I'm assuming in a way these are like a cheaper counterparts to the MPM figures.
    (To Be Fair, Generations is technically is the cheaper counterpart to the Masterpiece Line.)

    Bumblebee - $25
    Deluxe Class
    Decepticon Stinger - $25
    Deluxe Class
    Decepticon Crowbar - $25
    Deluxe Class
    Ratchet - $25
    Voyager Class
    Optimus Prime - $40
    Voyager Class
    Starscream - $40
    Voyager Class
    Grimlock - $60
    Voyager Class
    Blackout - $60
    Voyager Class

    It is really happening.
    Leader Blackout, Deluxe Stinger and Crowbar, what a great surprise.
    Well, Stinger and Crowbar should be just remold, but who knows.

    Ratchet is a deluxe figure in the leaks. The fourth deluxe is Lockdown.
