Is this including or excluding the rumoured Onslaught and Scattershot?

Excluding those. The total count for 2015 is planned as 11 Legends, 16 Deluxes, 6 Voyagers and a ? amount of Leaders. The rumored figures are quite possibly for next years.

And I need to stop looking at Ultra Magnus before I run out of clean pants.

-edit-

I'd just like to put this out there. T-Macksimus, if you read this, forget Metroplex, get me CW Ultra Magnus.

If he's not reading this, anyone else ... I offer you Va'al's soul if you can get me a CW Ultra Magnus because I really don't want to wait for his release in Australia.

I don't want Va'al's soul, I want what gives him strength, gives him courage, gives him purpose; his marriage Alpha Bravo!

Va'al doesn't have a soul. That's what you get for being a News Admin. We consumed El Duque.

I already smacked him in the head with Alpha Bravo Blades' Biatch earlier, so it's not very minty any more.

Coneheads are coming to the US, others we asked about, including Trypticon, we got the standard "oh we'll see " kind of answer. This was the expected response, but these sets were conspicuously absent today.

We'll see, indeed!

Question we asked was specifically in regards to a US release. Reading between the lines, it tells me that these are probably exclusives to some retailer that isn't determined yet, or they're coming in the fall and they're saving the reveal for Botcon or SDCC. Just a guess though.
