Hmm, now that I think about it, with all these listings being for next year's toys, then that means... So much for next year being Armada-heavy.

thats great! I found skywarp in walmart last week, thundercraker is a must have!

Detritus, Bombshell, Strongarm, and Frenzy are all instant grabs.
Shadow Striker (please be Cyberverse), the Junkions (including Scraphook), Devcon, and "ROBO WLD RDR" (please be X-Brawn) will all depend.
Everything else is a pass for me.

Scraphook has the exact same product code as prior leak's "Junkion 1", so a new character Junkion.

It could be a renamed version of this character:

...wouldn't Scrapheap be another Voyager Wreck-Gar remold though, not a new mold Deluxe?

I would think so. Is the new figure definitely a deluxe and/or a new mold? I suppose it could be an Arcee remold?

Anyway, I'm up for some new molds/vehicles for Junkion characters, like Detrius had. Might be cool to have an Animated homage with a dustbin van mode, or a bulldozer or two to shovel all the scrap.

Man, as much as I look forward to Detritus (and Siege mold is the way to go, never liked that he had a normal Earth vehicle mode) how many eHobby repaints are we going to get before they finally give us Sunstorm?

I was thinking about Sunstorm too...
I guess HasTak might be saving that for Gen Selects...hopefully.
Would be nice getting more Seekers but I wonder if they're trying to slowly pad their releases out, I am hoping they give us a new Nacelle figure.

I would like to see an official, and original mold, of Dion. Same for Alpha Trion and Orion Pax. Not retools etc. Those characters deserve good and original molds IMO

We already got 2 Orion Pax toys with original molds.

Scraphook is definitely a deluxe.

Sorry. We're already getting Alpha Trion and Orion Pax as Scourge and Kup retools.

Thanks to Chuckdawg, we have an early review of Transformers Legacy core class Bomb-Burst. A few listings of this toy in package appeared on e-bay and this is how this one was procured. If any of you find it in stores, let us know.

Not to mention the Titans Return Alpha Trion was its own mold before it was retooled into Broadside later.

A caffeinated review from a stalwart coffee-granuled YouTuber! CD's reviews always keep me going!

I'm aware of the thrilling 30 Orion we got which was quite small and titan master Trion as well as POP Orion which isn't that good as well as the Scourge/Trion and Kup/Orion. I would like to see a Legacy version where the characters are done right. Not retool, not a gimmick characterization like Alpha was done in POP as a lion and an ugly ship mode, but one where he's done right. The Scourge retool as Trion is good but I really wish they would've retooled the Alt mode more for him. The Kup retool as Orion is good too and I'm ok with it. Would just would've like to see him done a new original mold. Would love to see Dion made and would like to see them make figures of the primes including Nova, Sentinel, and the originals like Prima, alchemist etc

Stoked to hear about Bombshell, & I’ll probably pick-up Beachcomber as well.
These Junkions kind of depend on whether or not I end up getting Junkheap; with him, these new deluxes are more likely to be “wants” for me, unless they just look horrible.
But Hastak has done so well with G1 characters that that doesn’t seem likely.

I never liked Powerglide, but it will be interesting to see if I’m still in the game if & when Seaspray is released.

I have this weird feeling that the "Energon Monsters" we've seen listed will be recolored into Junkions.

The Energon Monsters were dropped from the line. Skullgrin and (most likely) Bomb-Burst replaced them.

This one clearly does NOT count.
It was the obvious Lio Convoy pretool and by some extent, Broadside's and Tidalwave's as well.
It was also the case with Optimus for OctOne, and Megatron for Blitzwing.

Lio Convoy was all Takara's idea made later. Hasbro were the ones who designed the figure to be Alpha Trion first and foremost.

And its robot mode was clearly designed with Vector Prime in mind, but that never happened at all. That coupled with the lion altmode made it based on the two BotCon toys of A3 (the Vector Prime retool and the lion Thundertron redeco).

.....y'know, looking back over the listings with the addition of today's news, do we have too many Voyagers?
-Tarn
-Leo Prime
-Metalhawk
-Twincast
-Bludgeon
-Ramjet PR
-Junkion
-Nemesis Leo
-Dirge PR
Either we're getting a wave with 3 Voyagers all 1 to the case, or someone here isn't gonna be retail next year....right?

Hasbro please let me finish my tetrajet rainbow.

So it seems Legacy year 2 will still mostly be G1 heavy, though we don't know anything about the Commander or Titan yet so perhaps they'll both be Multiverse. Armada Optimus would work as a Commander, and surely it can't just be Starscream, Megatron and Hot Shot in Armada's anniversary years, can it? (Hasbro have said they count both 2002 and 2003 as Armada's anniversry).
Either way, I'll definitely be getting Deluxe Shadowstriker, but the rest I'm not all that interested in. As for Studio Series, I'm definitely getting Core Frenzy and Voyager Ratchet, I still need to see if I can get Rumble anywhere, and I'll wait to see how Brawn looks before I commit to getting one.

This list is great news. I'm also inclined to think "Robo WLD RDR" might actually be X-Brawn, either a heavy retool or a new mold. But, most likely the next G2 Stunticon.

I'm glad people are getting another shot at the coneheads, Thrust is sure to follow. I have and love the ER versions.

For me, the definite pickups will be the deluxified minibots, Brawn and Beachcomber. That leaves only Powerglide and Seaspray left. If he wasn't the SS86 version, I thought we might have gotten Outback from Brawn.

Hopefully in further leaks/reveals we get some updates of Armada figures. So far it's only Starscream and Megatron. We need a new Demolishor and Cyclonus. And Thrust from Jhiaxus is so easy, of course Hasbro won't do it.

Personally, I think we're way overdue for Nightbeat, Siren and Hosehead.

The thing is, X-Brawn's Japanese name was Wild Ride, not Rider.

Looking at it, the tr alpha trion mold looks like it would be better suited for Lio Convoy.
