Well, Hasbro has now revealed what they say are the final 3 toys from the Kingdom line: Deluxe Autobot Slammer, Deluxe Autobot Pipes, and Voyager Autobot Blaster

These do not have preorders but Blaster's release in Legacy can be preordered on various sites since he is part of the wave 1 voyagers and comes packed with Bulkhead when purchasing the 2 voyagers option.

Here is what Hasbro stated along with official photos:

Things are ramping up over here on Transformers! We missed #TransformersTuesday, so Transformers THURSDAY it is! Check out the last 3 toy reveals for War for Cybertron: Kingdom – Deluxe Autobot Slammer, Deluxe Autobot Pipes, and Voyager Autobot Blaster and Autobot Eject. All figures COMING SOON to retail, so keep your (eyes emoji) peeled.

Autobot Pipes is a partial tool of Huffer and is based on his G1 animation appearance featuring all-new head, waist, chest, tires, forearms, shoulders, and accessories. This figure converts to mini truck mode and comes with 2 pipe blaster accessories and a newly tooled cartoon-accurate head. The back cab even allows you to show off his Autobot emblem.
Autobot Slammer is a heavy partial of Ironworks, featuring 5 new tools! This figure is based off the original 1986 Slammer toy that came with G1 Metroplex and converts to his classic tank mode. Autobot Slammer is also a weaponizer! Break the figure apart to equip other figures with missile launcher, chainsaw, and turret blaster accessories.
Autobot Blaster is inspired by his animated appearance in the G1 series and comes with his cassette tape, Autobot Eject. Autobot Blaster converts to boombox mode. The figure features detailed sculpt on the speakers, mini jetpack sculpt on its back, and side-to-side articulation on the front shin speakers. The Autobot Blaster figure’s finger is extended to press his spring-loaded eject button and automatically pop open his tape deck! Autobot Blaster comes with his classic electro scrambler blaster that Autobot Eject can hold.

SS fans, you no longer have to feel alone in that the highly anticipated next/last wave of your favorite toys is just dumped randomly on Social Media, now Kingdom gets the same treatment (although to be fair Blaster was revealed a few weeks ago on a privileged fans call).

So these being the "Last" of Kingdom meaning I guess there is no WFC-K36, or WFC-K43.

I know the Reformatted Galvatron doesn't have Kingdom Branding (It is just WFC "Unicron Companion Pack"), but it could unofficially have been one of the missing numbers.

It is even more odd that they are claiming Slammer is a heavy retool Ironworks. I don't see a single part they chare in common and they definitely don't transform/assemble in the same way.

Could Hasbro be trolling us?

Rodimus Prime wrote:Blaster and Pipes are a most likely buy, I'm probably going to pass on Slammer, maybe pick him up later if there is an updated or brand new Metroplex coming in the next few years.

That Eject is going to be smaller than the Prime Wars Rewind was, right?

Wolfman Jake wrote:One of those might turn out to be the Earthrise Starscream repack we heard about all the way back when most of the retail Kingdom listings were leaked. We still don’t know who is shipping with Blaster in Voyager Wave 5 yet. Or, those numbers were set aside for Gears and Polar Claw before they were canceled.

Yup, way smaller

It's the theme of the line, everyone except Dragstrip comes with a clear accessory.

An accessory is one thing, this is an entire clear character.

I wish they would have just done a normal looking one and a different clear item.

Do you mean Titans Return? All Cassettes released during TR were for the TR Leader Blaster & Soundwave.

All Cassettes (included as "micromasters") in the WFC Trilogy have been smaller and compatible with the various voyager Soundwaves/Soundblaster. * And Doubledealer as well. Eject will be the same size as all the others to accommodate Kingdom (and the Legacy repack) Voyager Blaster.

BUT, what if I told you Hasbro was releasing a new Rodimus Prime in a line called Gen MP, which was a line of toys made to fit a Chug scale but with MP level engineering. And he came with a trailer, turret platform, accessories (matrix, sword of Primus, effect parts) and was only 80$!!!!

Because that's what this Rodimus Prime toy is, truly. More complex than MP-10 with similar number of accessories. And since he's chug scale, he's 80$ instead of 150$ (hell, this released these days in MP scale and MP quality, we'd be looking at $250).

I for one thank our Hasbro overlords for trusting me to understand what I am getting in this 80$ package.

This really makes me hope we'll get Optimal Optimus and Armada Optimus Prime in commander class, eventually.

I'd be willing to stab an old lady to get a Commander Class Armada Optimus for sure.

Hasbro loves their big optimus prime toys, and Armada Prime hasn't been revisited. They are doing G2 Prime for 2022 so we won't see him next year but I am sure he is at some stage of development. And anniversaries don't really count for much, they are more of a coincidence, even if they are mentionned. Beast Wars is a bigger phenomenon within the TF franchise and nothing happened in it's 20th anniversary.

True, but here we are in its 25th and we got a pretty full line of BW figures.

Ok, so then just wait 5 more years

In a sense, but it was more to promote the Beast Wars: Uprising story.

Wolfman Jake wrote:I just put in a safety preorder for Pipes, Slammer, and Blaster through BBTS. TFSource has them listed too, but as of now, only Blaster is still available to preorder there. I don't have a lot of confidence that we'll see Kingdom Wave 5 in stores on time, but I'll happily cancel my preorders if I'm proven wrong. I don't understand why Hasbro Pulse isn't offering preorders on these guys. Very strange.
