...alright, no spoilers of course but anyone who's up to date with IDW is surely hoping for exactly the same thing from the armoured-shockwave possibility. Long shot, but a man can dream

We just had a legends 2 pack at walgreens, how much was it?

We've been over this: IDW is ending. Hasbro won't be putting anymore IDW-inspired material. At least not stuff that isn't part of the reboot. The old timeline is over, finished.

Same price as the deluxes at walgreens, which was 17.99 or 19.99 depending on the walgreens.

Oh well, finger crossed we get pics of what they look like at the Canadian convention that I can't remember the name of

Hopefully we get pictures at that convention in Canada of the complete wave 1 for all classes so we can lay the shockwave issue to rest

it could be that leader Shockwave would be a voyager Shockwave with armour pieces for an ultimate form.

Why horror

A lot of people weren't happy with his character shift in IDW. He had become a mass-murdering religious zealot. Quite a difference from how he was presented in Victory.

still
his bot mode and altmode seem quite awesome.
was there an issue there?
use your imagination and assign any persona you wish.
right?

ZeroWolf wrote:A nice idea and homage to his Animated self but if the comments about robot mode scale are to be believed, the other way round might be more interesting. A voyager shockwave hides in armour to pretend to be Leader class bot Longarm. It would also be a nice nod to IDW comics

Considering that was 2 $10 figures that made up one deluxe side robot and this is one deluxe robots at a $15.99 price point it’ll be like cog.

WFC increased the price points for all figures by like $5 though

2 things here. First, the clones at Walgreens were 2 legends at a deluxe price point, so it can still be a possibility. Second, don't confuse the actual price stores charge with MSRP. MSRP is just that, Hasbro's suggested price. The stores are still free to charge what they feel is right for their market. I also don't recall if they are raising MSRP for deluxes to $20 with the WFC line or if they already did this for PotP. Again, the prices we see and pay are the store's choice, not Hasbro's suggested price.

All that being said, I can still see Flywheels being a weaponizer as it should be a cheaper option and would match the theme with the other deluxe weaponizers. A double legends package would stand out against the rest of the line.

Edit: I'll gladly be wrong on this, I'd love for Flywheels to be a 2 bot shirt and pants combo like Battletrap.

The 20$ deluxe MSRP was first done for the TLK line, followed by POTP and SS. And Voyagers being $30 too, and some retailers (such as Amazon and HTS) are indeed selling at these prices.

But we shouldnt confuse price with price point. The idea is that if a legends calss 2 pack sold at the deluxe price point once, it can do so again.

As far as Decepticons for Wave 2, I think we will see Soundwave and Thundercracker before the other seekers.

The question though, are we sure all the Seekers will be voyager?

But that’s not what flywheels is going to be. He’s going to be like Cog so you can have a decepticon to transform and make armor or he will be a deluxe that separates into two vehicles.

If he was like Battletrap than it would be two legends in their own separate packagings that combine and can be sold as two figures just Battletrap was. But it’s not going to be that because we’re done with combiners.

I know it’s fun to hope and speculate but be realistic guys.

Well, when it comes to Soundwave, we might not get another for quite a while, mainly due to this coming out sometime later:


And when it comes to the seekers, I believe it was confirmed they'd be voyager. Not only that, but it would match up with cartoon scale.
