We have some strange Titans Return related news for you. Hasbro seems aware of the lack of Generations deluxe figures in stores and is employing different case strategies to ensure that there is product on the shelves. For isntance, there is a revision case currently found across he US which includes the wave 1 delues as well as Highbrow and Chromedome. That means that Wolfwire and Mindwipe wouldn't be as readily available right? Well Hasbro has an asnwer for that: solid cases. This means cases filled with the same figure. This was more common in the 80s, when Hasbro would constantly rerelease G1 toys throughout the years (like the seekers/coneheads) but it has been found recently as well like RID Drift in Europe last year. Well, solid cases are back for Titans Return and this solid case of Mindwipes was found in Canada at a freshly restocked Toysrus. Let us know if you find other solid cases in your neck of the woods, it only makes sense that there would be one for Wolfwire too.

Or maybe they'll name it Chromia or Metro or Plex.
But, thinking about this: if this is true, her Titan master would be small enough to actually go inside Metroplex's head and speak to his brain like she does in the comics

Maybe they'll give her a cool, creative name like Nadeshiko or Naginata. Or maybe we'll just get Xindxlade.

It explains this pic I took the other day too:
I couldnt tell though if it was just Mindwipe being unpopular though, like 2 cases on the shelf and the 4 mindwipes left, but now that there are 16 (!!!!) on a shelf that explains it.
Where are you located?
16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is what I was talking about earlier
Beam me up!
By the way, this new info goes agains the previous rumours which were allaccurate so far. The next wave was supposed to be the following:
Needlenose
Crosshairs
Slugslinger
Misfire
Only Missfire is getting released out fo those. I guess the rest will be kept for the final wave of Titans Return.

If Windblade is true at least it's an easy pass. I really don't like the Highbrow/Scourge mold. That plus zero attachment to the character means it's money I can spend elsewhere since TR is getting a little tight for me.

Fellow Seibertronian Autobot N has found some probable spoilers for the next wave of deluxes as part of Titans Return. The owner of Canadian collectibles site Canucktables, Hoffman, has heard from his distributor of the next wave of figures. Now please remember that distributers are not Hasbro and do not know all the facts so there can always be something lost in the translation (like when a distributer said there would be an MP Tank Megatron after misinterpreting the image of Legends Tank Megatron shaking MP 10's hand). Here are Hoffman's quote below for you to interpret as you wish:
Wolfwire being rereleased makes sense since he is the only figure from the first 2 waves to not be rereleased yet. Let us know what you think! We will see it this is all true next week at Toy Fair 2016!
In any case, for those keeping track, this is how Wave 5 is shaping up to be:
So this is Wave 5 then and what they will show us at Toyfair:
Titan Master
C2389 Optimus Prime
C2390 Toraizer
C2391 Ramhorn
Legends
C2398 Cosmos
C2399 Seaspray
Deluxe
Misfire
Topsin
Windblade
Voyager
C2396 Octane
C2397 Blitzwing
Leader
C2388 Overlord
Hoffman wrote:I run a toy store an TFs are a small part of what we sell. This info came from a solicitation from a distributor. I was told the info was ok to share, however with how strict Hasbro has been with their solicitations, I'm still wary about how much info I should divulge.
Hoffman wrote:I have no idea if this info came out and got buried in speculation threads or something, but I have some info on the next wave of TR Deluxes.
The new figures in this wave are Misfire, Twintwist, and Windblade. All retools.
The other figure listed in the assortment is Wolfwire. No packout details.

Twintwist - Topspin

A Windblade from Highbrow? I'm intrigued. I can already imagine what it'll look like, but I want to see what it'll actually be.

Usually a case has different figures in it. Deluxes cases have 8. So if your store restocks with a case, you will have 2 of each deluxe from that wave on a shelf. But with a solid case, you will just have 8 of the same toy on the shelf. So instead of your store getting a case of different figures, it will just get the same figure 8 times.

I think that the Windblade isn't correct. Yes, a retool of Highbrow would be simple enough- just change the cockpit, wings on the arms instead of rotors, retool the legs to be less chunky, and maybe redo the chest- be there's zero reason to have her in the lineup. She's getting a retooled RID figure, and that one makes her third figure in four years (Generations, RID, retooled RID), and that's not counting the straight up recolors. Hasbro isn't that dumb to make a fourth.

I wouldnt count different classes, they serve different purposes. If we do then Thunderhoof has as many toys as her, so it get ridiculous to compare when the real deal here is that we have bering rbought to the foreground again in another line.
The only logic I see to this is that Hasbro wants to cross market their Prime Wars web series of which she is the main character and thus wants her on the shelves for 10 year old kids who watch any 5 min clip on their I pad to notice as they go through a store with their parents.

Yeah, it's five with the two consecutive SDCC exclusives. I really hope somebody lost their mind and it's actually Spinister being repainted from Highbrow.
Seems really strange that we'd get an entire wave of remolds/repaints and a single re-release.

That would make BlastWave, Stormshot and ROTF Breakaway the only deluxe Autobots that are not Titanmasters in said collection.

About 4 Wolfwire's there too.

Windblade from Highbrow... just... doesn't... work. At all.
I kinda miss when Hasbro would re-issue figures from a line or two back with a few changes to inflate the latter waves without resorting to redecoes. Like Blurr and Longrack and Runamuck and all that in Cybertron. That way we could get a somewhat better Windblade without resorting to making her a recolour of a mold that doesn't work for her at all.
It's a shame, really, because between her being okay in RiD and incredible in IDW I really like her. But all this incessant pushing by Hasbro to such ridiculous degrees is gonna make her the fandom's new Hot Rod. ... who I also like when everyone hated him.

Right because Combiner Wars didnt give us 2 entire waves of just retools/redecos
And anyways, wave 4 has 5 deluxes so we can all assume any sense or pattern is non existent.

While I would love a Grand Max or Brave Max... there are a couple factors to consider:
1. Only TT would do this, most likely, not Hasbro
2. Because it would be a straight up "repaint" It will likely not happen (thought there were some exceptions for Unite Warriors)...
Come to think of it though, imagine if back in 2014, Hasbro had instead of releaseing a "special edition" Metroplex for SDCC, it would have been Metrotitan...that thing would be insanely expensive now.(even more than it already is) or for SDCC this past year, release a Grand Max repaint (There would be no Brave Max because in the English dub of RiD he is known as FM, unless it would have been released as RID Fortress Maximus...)

I dont have hands on experience with that toy, so I feel less sick about it.
Ha! Did you hear the story? Someone asked that to Hasbro back when Metroplex came out and Hasbro's response was "Who?". We were never gonna get Metrotitan if no one at that company even knows he exists.

Know I can just skip Triggerhappy because of Misfire. Spinister out of Highbrow would have been a MUCH better idea than Windblade. We already have two decent Windblade figures and now a retool. I might also want Spinister because of Scavengers. Who am I kidding I definitely do. 
Oh and Twintwist is neat.

Aha! So that's how they're going to put Windblade in the next cartoon where she wants to kill everyone!
She'll go on a decapitation spree... and that's how Titan Masters were made!

Ok, here's what I think. If the information about the retools is correct, which I doubt a bit since I don't know how savvy Hoffman is with TF toys, no offense, then we could expect this:
Misfire: full body retool
Twintwist: full body retool
Windblade: partial body and/or head retool (like Brainstorm out of Blurr, or Quake out of Hardhead). I know Will will count that as a redeco
Remember, Highbrow was fully retooled from Scourge, it would make no sense adding a third to that series.

The new figures in this wave are Misfire, Twintwist, and Windblade. All retools.
The other figure listed in the assortment is Wolfwire. No packout details.

WHAT?

You do NOT skip Triggerhappy just because of a rumour. You go out and you search, and I don't care how long it takes you, just report into your family every now and then so they don't file a missing persons report, you go out and you find yourself a Triggerhappy right now!
I won't have any more talk like this!
Skipping over Triggerhappy. sheesh! That's just wrong.

I fail to see what difference the size class makes when counting the official figure releases of a character.
And lets be honest, we should be in awe of the great Kospego, and be glad he has equal (or more) figure releases than Hasbro's latest Mary-Sue.

I stand corrected. Forgot about that one.
I wouldnt count different classes, they serve different purposes. If we do then Thunderhoof has as many toys as her, so it get ridiculous to compare when the real deal here is that we have bering rbought to the foreground again in another line.

Of course if I see him in person I'll probably break and and buy him but if I don't I won't worry about ordering him. And in just a week it might not just be a rumor.

If he's a straight up repaint, it'll be a disappointment. But if there's slight remolding ... you're still going to have to get both.

Agreed. They've already released a ton of Windblade figures, and RiD Windblade keeps getting rereleased enough as is.
