    With toy fair in a couple weeks, I thought it would be a good time to see what people thought might be revealed by Hasbro.

    Probably Trypticon and Overlord for generations alongside a few other reveals from the upcoming waves, then some Lost Knight stuff; beyond that I don't expect too many surprises. Hasbro likes to like to spread out their reveals, though we haven't gotten many leaks this year so there could be more surprises.

    1. Movie Toys
    2. RID Combiners
    3. Overlord
    4. Blitzwing/Octane
    5. Headmaster Arcee as a repaint of Blurr or Brainstorm?

    Hopefully there are some more surprises than that, like TR Dinobots or preview of Power of the Primes figures.

    With tf5 on the horizon, I'm going to guess anything that has to do with the movie. So planet cybetron.

    A pipe dream for me would be reveal of Slapdash for Titans Return
    But
    1. Trypticon
    2. Wave 5 of Titans Return
    3. Overlord
    4. What the PoTP will be about perhaps

    I'm gonna be a little risky with this prediction, as we all know Hasbro likes to take bold creative risks, I believe that hasbro is gonna give us all something we've wanted for a long time, somthing I never thought was even remotely possible, dare I say unfathomable!!!!!.....optimus prime, and bumblebee! Gasp!

    I'm getting increasingly pessimistic about Apeface and Snapdragon. I hope I'm wrong, but I think we may only get two more Voyagers and they'll be Octane and Blitzwing.

    these!

    and yeah, Trypticon, Wave 5 TR's, bunch of RID and Movie stuff that won't mean much to me.

    I'm mainly in it for the Titans Return stuff. Predictions/hopes on Wave 5.
    TM: Ranger, Hosehead, Grotusque, Battletrap
    Lg: Seaspray, Beachcomber, Freeway
    D: Wingspan, Cyclonus (or maybe Misfire or Slugslinger), Cloudraker, Arcee
    V: Octane, Blitzwing
    L: Overlord

    I expect A LOT of movie stuff.

    As for Generations... Back in September TFW posted this: RUMOR: Possible upcoming Titans Return toys - Transformers News - TFW2005

    The rumors that were considered unlikely at the time were:
    • Deathsaurus, Starscream, Abominus, Dinobot
    • Huffer, Windcharger, Seaspray, Grotusque
    • Flywheels, Battletrap, Snapdragon, Godbomber
    • Blood, Darkwing, Dreadwind, Black Zarak, Landcross, Carnivac

    However with Godbomber already revealed and Deathsaurus being teased in the Prime vote this list suddenly becomes a lot more plausible.

    I'm betting we get a few things from this list for Toyfair.

    At the risk of sounding like a joyless misery I think this actually just referred to the wave 4 repack, what with these being store inventory computer listings.

    Eh, we have two more waves (at least, I suppose) of voyagers after Broadside. CW introduced Sky Lynx (new mold) in the last wave. T30 introduced Roadbuster, Sky-Byte and Brainstorm in the last two waves (all single use new molds). I think we'll get at least one more voyager after Octane and Blitzwing that's a new mold. Maybe it'll be the Horrorcons, maybe it'll be something entirely whackadoodle (e.g. Silas Breakdown), but I bet we'll see something

    I hope some PotP teases. I'm hoping that the whole line is about each figure having a third "Prime" mode activated by a matrix type thingy.

    I don't know if this is a popular opinion or not, but I LOVED the planet key gimmick in Cybertron, and would be all in favor of a similar play pattern.

    Aside from Trypticon and PotP reveal:

    1) RiD and TLK Combiners revealed. I don't think they'll be compatible, but I feel like this is where Hasbro talks about making Combiners a more regular part of the line following feedback from Combiner Wars.

    2) Official announcement of Titans Wave 4. This would include Broadside's casemate. Likely the tease for Overlord/Star Saber (regardless of PotP outcome). They'll wait until later in the year to show off Wave 5.

    3) Heavy heavy focus on TLK. Complete first wave of toys revealed. Likely the reveal of that "Cybertron" figure that we're all speculating is either a Primus/Unicron repaint.

    4) At least one new CW-Format Combiner. I think they're hearing fans getting anxious about stuff like Predaking and Abominus and this is where they address that. Even if it's in teasers more than reveals.

    5) Along with the PotP winner, we'll get our first tease of the gimmick. My money is on that old "Titans Unite" rumor playing out (maybe not literally...but related to the gimmick)
