This friday at 11 am eastern, Hasbro will have another Transformers themed Fan First Friday. You will be getting more reveals but please remember that this will probably include toys we have seen before like T Wrecks, SS 86 Slag and SS 86 Wreck Gar. Other probable reveals would be the other Amazon exclusive duo for Kingdom featuring Sideswipe and BW Silverbolt/BWII Skywarp (the eagle), along with the upcoming SS Grindor, the Kingdom toys that we have not seen yet like Waspinator, Slammer, Tigatron and Shadowpanther and the remaining Shaterred Glass toys.

Will we get to see the rumored SS86 Coronation Starscream?
Waspinator and Tigatron are the ones I really want to see.
May be tempted by the Sideswipe and BW II Skywarp two pack.
Nothing else interests me much

They mentioned they were going to do this FFF a month ago during Pulsecon, so no, this was happening with or without leaks.Mindmaster wrote:I’m certain they’re doing this Fans Friday since Wreck-Gar got leaked and they don’t want any more cats out of the bag without their consent.

This one was preplanned. Slag was leaked a month ago and they did nothing.

JTPrime recently found that the next few SS Waves will be going all in on mixing 86 and live action (in terms of new figures anyway, the last live action SS wave did repack Hot Rod IIRC), here's what we're expecting:
So I'm hoping that first wave gets revealed with Jolt, BB Thrust, ROTF Bee, Grindor, and the accompanying 86 figures.
That being said, I am definitely prepared for nothing Bayverse to be revealed.

Wow, what a wet fart of a wave 14. We thought the most recent wave was bad with just 3 figures, but at least 2 of them were new molds. For wave 14, we have a deluxe retool/redeco and 3 repacks, and a voyager retool/redeco and a repack.

However there are a couple things going on here... Basically during the Prime Wars trilogy SS didn't exist (although the movie tie-ins for movies 4-6 did). But you have a combination of a lower budget overall 9whihc is why TFTM had to be split between Kingdom and SS), and *arguably* better toys being designed (QC issues aside)...
I guess the question is, would fans rather have fewer releases each year, if they were overall better designed toys, or more toys and slightly less complicated from a design standpoint(Going back to Prime Wars. T30 etc...). *I know you can argue the toys are for "Kids", btu basically that is Cyberverse, and whatever will follow it, I don't expect those toys to change much. I mean most of us in this forum are adults, and mostly adults will be watching the FFF. I'm pretty sure most kids don't even know it exists, or care.
I'm going to quote a phrase I hate, but it is unfortunately true. For Every Good and Service there are 3 buckets: Fast;Cheap;Good. You can only pick 2.
I can definitely see the increase in design, which, combined with the cost of materials has lead to the increase in price. I can also see a time soon where perhaps there will only be 3 waves per year instead of the 4/5 that has been the case for as long as I returned to collecting in 2015.

Lol, who do you think my source for only SS86 reveals is:

There were some serious international distribution issues with that original wave of SS 86 deluxes. I don't think all orders were filled worldwide as it was absent from some big retailers worldwide. I don't know for sure if there were production issues but that first wave was being produced at the worst part of the pandemic for manufacturers (2nd-3rd quarter 2020) and issues may have been anticipated, hence the many repacks. I personally welcome a chance to own Kup at retail prices.

I think it would be weird for them to only reveal the 86 parts of the wave, but not impossible I guess.
EDIT: Thinking about it, the silver lining to these repacks is that we could eventually see rereleases of some figures that were more difficult to find at retail, like Ironhide.

The amount of SS figures being released this year aren't notably less than any prior year though, it only looks that way here because they took the same amount of content and split it into 4 waves for the year instead of SS's usual 3 waves. Year 1 of SS had 4 waves, but 2 of the Voyager waves were a single figure and a repack exactly like these listings (first Ironhide, then the RotF Screamer), and half of it's Deluxe waves were 2 new figures and then repacks. If we count the individual figures per year:o.supreme wrote:The reveals will be interesting however, I think this reveals a bigger issue. Although I do not collect SS, I don't recall there ever being any repacks, or at least very few. Now not only does SS have to share with TF:TM, but fewer overall toys are being produced, thus slowing things down even more. I mean in Generations mainline, repacks are to be expected.
Year 1: 11 Deluxes, 6 Voyagers, & 2 Leaders across 4 waves
Year 2: 11 Deluxes, 6 Voyagers, & 3 Leaders across 3 waves
Year 3: 10 Deluxes, 6 Voyagers, & 3 Leaders across 3 waves
Year 4 (this year): 9 Deluxes, 6 Voyagers, & 3 Leaders across 4 waves
It's only 1 less Deluxe than last year, but with it being spread across 4 waves again and the SS86 figures feeling significantly more like WFC figures than SS, it gives the illusion of less than there is.

Thanks for the breakdown. It reminds me that this will probably be the first year I don't get all the SS Leaders (don't need Grindor). It also made me realize that we started with a Bayverse Dino but are now looking way past that.
Posted by o.supreme on May 19th, 2021 @ 11:54am CDT
We have had 10 (??) (guesstimating) SS releases so far this year , so yeah, I guess it's about right. If SS86 is throwing off a lot of things, not only the numbering system, but perception I guess...

There will be 3 additional exclusive seekers based on the Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Starscream mold and they will all be exclusive:
Thundercracker is Amazon exclusive
Skywarp is Walmart exclusive
Thrust is Target Exclusive

That info is from a legit source, multiple people here have seen the same thing, but it's months old and having actual store listings for Thrust at this point means that's what should be gone off of as the most accurate. I'm pretty sure the guy who first mentioned these said there's more Seekers than that planned as exclusives at this point anyway.Nemesis Reformatted wrote:alekese wrote:IIRC, TF6 skywarp and thundercracker are the amazon and target exclusives, but I don't recall which is which.

Old news, new leaks have said this is no longer the case. Everything is subject to change hence why its not announced yet.
As of right now, Thrust is not an exclusive.

Also as of right now, I have him on pre-order from Amazon from the wishlist trick, so we can at least expect him to be available there.

It's a nice touch that the sweep has slightly brighter blue
And that coronation starscream, wow! So worth the wait! I like that his hands open and close now. The cape is pretty cool, and that throne is better than I expected
Posted by o.supreme on August 13th, 2021 @ 10:30am CDT
...oh wow, so that was a total waste of time, those 3 SS reveals were in the first 10 minutes. No Kingdom, no Haslab... August 27th come back for "Something special"
Posted by william-james88 on August 13th, 2021 @ 10:37am CDT
SS86 voyager Sweep, is a brighter blue than Scourge. And has different Blast effect.
SS86 deluxe Perceptor coming in 2022, triple changer with official tank mode.
SS86 leader Coronation Starscream, partial of earthrise Starscream with new extra bits and comes with a purple throne. Deco is more plain for a more movie accurate look.
Leaders will be closed box like MPs from here on out.
Next we have a look at the programable Optimus Prime. New preorders will be available at 1 pm with other preorders, since the previous ones sold out.
They then showed all the Shaterred glass toys and comics we are getting.
After that, we got not one but TWO trailers for mobile games featuring Transformers crossovers. One is the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

Obviously they are not, because they chose to take the pile of cash sent to them by the 2 mobile game companies to showcase their commercials instead of showing figures fans will be buying anyways.

The only thing new here is Perceptor & I don't need another Perceptor. My TR figure is just fine. I'm done with that character. I already checked him off my list. I'm trying to get 1 good updated version of every G1 character (That's why I'm always bitching about the deluxe Insecticons). I'm trying not to keep wasting money on the same characters over & over again. So once a character is checked off my list I'm not buying it again. I want to be finished with my collection someday. I don't want to collect forever.

And while having a Coronation Starscream would be funny, the bigger leader price tag is totally UN-funny.
