OH, GOD, PLEASE DON'T LET MY JOKE BE TRUTH!!!

We know it will be a CW deluxe, and have an all-new head sculpt. That's about all we know.

Wouldn't it be awesome if it was that unused Demolishor version of Onslaught?

Actually, just for reference; anyone got that list of currently unused CW headsculpts? Lookin' at you, Jelze...

Man I love that mold. I'm expecting another dead end or prowl.

They didn't say an all new head sculpt but a head sculpt not used by Hasbro.

Thank goodness. I was starting to worry a little.

...I didn't get an email. is that bad?

Kurona wrote:UW Blast Off as Spacewarp?

Leaving aside that someone's mentioned how they wouldn't have known about the mold, there's already a little Spacewarp included with double pretender Megs.

Why do I get the feeling it's probably the Starscream head?

Demolisher Onslaught
Starscream Cyclonus
Inferno Hotspot
Starscream Skydive
Thrust Air Raid
Ironclad Rook
Hoist Trailbreaker

Ones that exist that Hasbro hasn't used but were not on the table when the TCC was planning their figures.

Deluxe Groove / Afterburner
UW Blast Off / Strafe
UW Lightspeed
UW Scattershot
uW Nosecone
CW Strafe (changes were made later)
Victorion limbs & torso

I thought it was said that Ironclad wasn't made known until after the TFSS 5.0 figures were finalized.

"Ironclad" was supposedly built-in, so the club should have been aware of its existence when they made Impactor and Tarantulas with the mold plans. It just lacked a proper name I think.

Fracture/Crasher, maybe even Leadfoot out of the Dragstrip mould? That's been used for what? 2.5 characters so far?

prjkt wrote:Fracture/Crasher, maybe even Leadfoot out of the Dragstrip mould? That's been used for what? 2.5 characters so far?

I'm sure that such choices (especially Fracture/Crasher, but if Leadfoot maintains the tradition of having the Blackrock name written on him, I'm of course all for that) would be quite popular.

The problem is that we have no knowledge of a pre-existing (but heretofore unused in the US) head for that mold.

While the language used could technically mean a new (not previously existing) head, they wouldn't have referred to it the way they did if it were so. They've have simply said "new head."

So, unless there is a pre-existing head for that mold we simply haven't ever known about, I'm afraid it's just not going to happen.

(All clues point to Sunstorm... I'm not thrilled with this option, but figure I hit the jackpot with Bluestreak, and so have no right to complain.)

Wait, where is this coming from?

Beats me.

The only recent Fun Pub fiction I know of that had a Sunstorm in it was either the last SG story (but which used the old Universe Sunstorm that was a redeco of Armada Thrust) or the Beast Wars: Uprising finale (which had no visual description or illustration of Sunstorm, and who would have most likely been built into the wall of the church he was the minister of, being a Macromaster Builder and all).

If the rumor is true, then I hope it's G1 Sunstorm and not Universe Sunstorm, as the cone head looks kinda dumb.

A new Sunstorm figure...
Kind of hoping it's made out of Cyclonus.

I'd like to see it out of Skydive/Starscream.

I'm totally with you on that.

The main clue I'm aware of was a comment about the mystery figure brightening our days (or something like that. I can't find the original source at present). That would seem to argue Sunstorm, but I don't see any real clue that specifies Starscream-mold vs. Armada Thrust-mold.

I'd rather it be a different mold/character anyway, but of those two, I definitely prefer the Starscream mold.

It's a Deluxe mold.

The TFWiki tweeted it was Sunstorm. Don't know why they did.

I can't find that Tweet.

Where/when do they say that? I can't find it in a Twitter search.

It's a possibility. Though, I would have figured that if they were to do any Seeker, Red Wing would be worth doing to finally give him a figure after all the commotion that previously made about him, even if it wouldn't be from the Classics Seeker mold.
