Psst, yellow leg not arm

As a Jazz fan, the Special Ops Jazz is good, but my biggest want right now is a new Jazz with modern engineering and ankle tilts, so I'm really excited for this (if it's actually a G1 Jazz and not just a new movie one).

It's pretty weird that I may very well get new versions of two of my most wanted G1 characters (Jazz and Grimlock) through Studio Series.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:But you're right that this could just be a repack of movie Jazz (I don't think they'd do a new figure of him; what would be the impetus?) instead.

LinaNui wrote:What is up with all the hidden text? Not like any of this stuff has spoilers.

As for the new listings, this is giving my theory more hope. My theory is that the 86 guys are going to be there own sub line in SS, so they do not take away from the real SS figures. This would work how ER and Netflix siege figures are released now. There have been 5 real SS deluxes and 4 (possibly 5) 86 deluxes now leaked. With one 86 leader leaked, now we just need the two voyager figures and it will match up with how wave 1 of the Netflix figures were released. This is just my theory and hopes.

Evidently, Apollux on TFW2005 has seen concept art and promotional images (not dissimilar to the POTP leaks) of WFC 3, and called it "Kingdom" before that word started appearing on all of the Netflix posters. In addition to the stuff I said in my last comment, he also said that Micro/Battlemasters are being replaced by a new Legends-ish class, and the new Weaponizers are skeletal dinosaurs called Fossilizers.

Take it with a grain of salt as always, but similar leaks have been true in the past, like Catz leaking half of Earthrise.

HOW?
WHEN?

Did they cameo'd for half a second in the intro of the Bee Movie, or is it a preview for the next movie?

Studio Series is getting some of the characters from the animated 86 movie.

The last time they released the five Dinobots in POTP they all had a "Dinobot" prefix in their names on the packaging (e.g. - "Dinobot Snarl", "Dinobot Swoop", "Dinobot Grimlock", even "Dinobot Slash"). It would make sense for new listings to reflect that.

And it wasn't just a combiner subgroup thing since, while four of the five Terrorcons likewise had a "Terrorcon" prefix in their package names, Sinnertwin did not.

Fair argument, my counter is that there is enough room in the listing to type out "Dinobot" instead of just "Dino" if this was the case. After all, they fit "Dlx Kup" on there. Same amount of space as "Dinobot" They also wrote out "Bumblebee" which is more letters than "Dinobot" as well, so I think it's Dino for sure.

I wonder how faithful the Studio Series will be in representing The Movie roster though IE Four Dinobots and one Gestalt.

This, I did link to the past article which confirmed Grimlock and Wheelie. I thought you'd commented on the talk about the 86 movie being incorporated then Kanrabat?

Nemesis Primal wrote:Speaking of Apollux, and more on-topic for this thread, from a post a half-hour ago they have apparently seen in terms of SS 86 stuff:
Voyager Scourge
Voyager Hot Rod, with saw and possibly flip-down visor
Kup with Energon goodies, presumably the Deluxe one in those earlier listings
Potential Leader Slag with Daniel

And given how much of the prominent movie cast is now here between various leaks, I'm assuming that that Cyclonus we saw a bit ago with ER Thrust is probably for SS 86 too.

-Kanrabat- wrote:But the 1986 cast? Huh? I thought the Generations WFC trilogy was basically that? Will the SS '86 Movie figures be G1/Bayverse hybrids like for the Cybertron part of the Bee Movie, or will the SS line become Generations 2.0? As in, having TWO Generations lines at the same time on shelves?

'86 is still A Transformers Movie. Which would still fall within the idea of the SS line. That said, to only include active cast members. The line would be relatively small.

Forget all the corpses Season one and two Autobots and the off camera/non-speaking Decepticons. Now look at your roster...

-Kanrabat- wrote:Interesting.
And even more so if they create a brand new Arcee mold right after the ER version.

So, Wheelie would be the '86 version? If Kup is there as well, I'll be looking forward them for this display.

-2021 is also an anniversary for Beast Wars.They should do something big,since we didn't have an celebration last time.

-An entire wave for Transformers Armada 20th anniversary for 2022.

-A new movie in between.

Day 193 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I'm living in an ideal world as far as Hasbro is concerned, for the most part.

Still, 86 movie toys are my whole thing, so I may be all-in on this. Despite having so many recent good movie-based toys. Titans Blur and Kup are alright.

This move is still baffling, though. An 86 movie line should probably include Prime and .... that'd be Earthrise Prime. And then there's Alicon, Arcee, Springer, and Ultra Magnus too.
