Not with any kind of evidence or anything, but what if the Headmaster is Minerva again? I mean, they made her. She was a Headmaster, and she's the only repaintable deluxe that was a "G1 Headmaster."
I'm selling myself as I type.

As for the Headmaster - also glad they're still being made as well. It'll probably not have a removable head like Minerva's legacy figure, but a proper modern update for the ones that still don't even have a figure beyond their original ones would be appreciated.

Hopefully this means Ruckus will be updated too.

Windsweeper won't be a new mold

I'm betting Windsweeper will be from the Needlenose mold and doubtful it will have working "trigger" action considering Crankcase didn't. As for Ruckus... I'd say that's a strong possibility since we're getting a Deluxe Beachcomber this year and transformation and mold are basically the same. Of course it'll probably be an Amazon or Target Exclusive and also won't have "trigger" action either. And if we get Ruckus, let's hope Hasbro has plans to eventually give us the Triggerbots: Dogfight, Backstreet, and Override.

I am definitely not betting on it having trigger action, and personally I'm fine without it. (No hate towards the old toys I just think it'd have been unnecessary for the modern figure.)
I do hope we get the Triggerbots soon as well! They're likewise in dire need of a modern figure.

Diaclone Topspin would be great.
I would gladly get Medix, he looked neat.
Windsweeper will be a happy late G1 addition.
Excited for Antagony, now we need a Cheetor to use as Cataclysm.

Not bad for reuse of Crankcase and I'm tempted to get. That said I'm slightly unnerved they made him before First Aid. lol
I'm guessing he'll be able to take part in forming Defensor? I realize this is Rescue Bots release but Medix was a backup Protectobot.

And since we got Spinister from Siege and Needlenose in Legacy, with Selects Windsweeper apparently coming, all we need is Ruckus for Thunderwing's crew. And of course Thunderwing himself. And he better be a voyager or a leader if they somehow manage to add some half-assed Pretender shell to a voyager or deluxe sized figure.
I would love to have a Thunderwing update as well - though it seems that since they're not doing shells it's probably just going to be based on the outer shell only...and since that transformed, they probably wouldn't have any details referencing the inner bot...
Though I'd still be happy to have a new Thunderwing figure, and I'm hoping it's more accurate to the original toy or the comics (I have a strange feeling it'd be the latter thanks to Jhiaxus), I have the older Generations figure and I'm just not a big fan of its look.

Even if Topspin was cut from the Wreckers set it's still probably their exclusive, I doubt it'll end up in Selects. Not like Amazon isn't going to do another exclusive set this year.
I remember clearly that back around the time we first heard about Minerva, maybe even before, there was a leak that said we'd be getting Headmasters Juniors in Legacy. I think it was Nightbeat and Hosehead at retail and Siren in Selects and I believe there was mention of Goshooter as well.
Just checked and Nemesis Primal did a follow in March 2022:
Nemesis Primal wrote:The initial Legacy rumors also said we'd be getting Leader Straxus, Deluxe Nightbeat, Deluxe Hosehead, and Selects Deluxe Siren, and leakers have been hinting/indicating that those figures are still planned and just got pushed further down the pipeline, so there's that late G1 you ordered.
So a late 2023 Selects Siren followed by the other two in 2024 is still a possibility.

Re: Ruckus from Deluxe Beachcomber - great thought. That mold would also work as a Joyride & Sureshort re-tool & re-deco.
Posted by Nemesis Primal on February 8th, 2023 @ 3:31am CST
Indifferent on Windsweeper, undecided on Antagony (also her releasing here messes up my theory for that mystery Walmart capsule), and I can't make a decision based off just the description of "G1 Headmaster". Maybe people will stop talking about Selects dying now though!

-Yes, rumors and listings of Minerva came well after the rumors for rest of the Headmaster JRs, leading us to all assume she'd be a Nightbeat retool when her listing showed up and then be confused when no Nightbeat appeared in the store leaks
-The initial rumors of the Headmaster Jrs specified that the Selects Siren would be a retool of Nightbeat (much to the chagrin of the accuracy-valuing portion of the community at the time), so if Siren is that mystery listing then either it'd be the first time a Selects figure preceded the original mold, or Siren is no longer based off of that mold
-Goshooter was never at any point rumored like those others, just speculated, because people went "Siren-from-Nightbeat doesn't make sense, maybe there's a retail Goshooter that'll actually be the basis for it"

Still, if we go way back at Combiners Wars, the box sets always came with a legends/scout figure. G2 Superion came with Powerglide, Computron came with a new "Cosmos", and so on. So I wonder what T30 Legends would have come with a Defensor box set? That little guy could have been Medix. Maybe as a T30 Legends Swerve/Gears repaint?

We already know the legends for Defensor from Hasbro. A G2 Defensor would have had Groove as the legends figure and Rook as the leg since deluxe Groove was a Takara thing.

Yeah, a Selects figure getting the jump on the retail use is the only thing that holds that theory back. If it does happen maybe we can just credit it to the timing of things being pushed back? Yeah, it's starting to feel less likely, BUT I still don't think it'll be Topspin, I think Amazon still has the rights to that figure.

There's a ton of them listed on TFWiki, but most of those are either more obscure than even Medix, too hard to translate into figures, or evil.Nemesis Primal wrote:Few things to remember about this:Emerje wrote:I remember clearly that back around the time we first heard about Minerva, maybe even before, there was a leak that said we'd be getting Headmasters Juniors in Legacy.

Of course, they strayed from that with Bluestreak after Ratchet started the trend, so maybe they don't have to be emergency vehicles, but that's their preference.
Heck, I'm just geeked we're still getting any exclusives because Walgreens was supposedly getting out of that game.

They would just have temporary ownership of the specific figure, not the mold or anything like we saw with Netflix Bee and Soundwave. This is assuming of course that Hasbro actually offered it to Amazon in the first place, but I know there was speculation that he was held back for a series 2 after Twintwist ended up being the only single packed Deluxe.

That was entirely on Scott Neitlich once again becoming highly reactionary to small changes in the industry. He basically said because this one guy he knows that worked on getting exclusives for Walgreens left that Walgreens was definitely done with them and used the lack of of them in stores in 2021 as proof, entirely ignoring that we were over two years into a pandemic that had distribution screwed up everywhere when he said that and that Marvel Legends exclusives WERE in stores in 2021 (saw them myself).
And yes, I totally forgot about Bluestreak at Walgreens.
o.supreme wrote:^Wiki is your friend. Windsweeper was late Original Series. I have the TFCC CW version ( from an aerialbot) so I'm good. I only know about Antagony because she was the Botcon exclusive at the first convention I attended back in 1998. That was an awesome show. Lots of BW actors and creators. I remember the script reading being especially fun that year.
Windsweeper
Antagony
The actual Walgreens Medix figure that was leaked a in December.
Incidentally, Deluxe Wreck-Gar still holds the record on longest time we've known about a Walgreens exclusive. He was found in a computer listing in July 2017 and not found in stores until October 2018 (he was found in Asia in July 2018)

Is there any chance it's a reissue of Arcee or Grotusque? Admittedly it's not labeled PR, which has me leaning towards "no", but OTOH they were Hasbro exclusives so maybe they wouldn't get that label.

In selects, I don't think Horri-bull would work since they have all been just redecos without new tooling (aside from Black Zarak).
However a re-release of Arcee or Grotesque without the die cast headmaster would indeed be a new package and not a refresh, so one of those could work.

If only... Grotusque more than Arcee, but I'll take either.
Regarding Black Zarak, I wouldn't be surprised if his new parts were already built into the Scorponok tooling, making an easy switchout.

Because it would be nice if it's the proper voyager Pointblank, the one the designers wanted to make from the start.
