More Listings for Upcoming Toys Include lots of Smaller Shockwave figures and Iguanus

william-james88 wrote:The listings keep piling on and these come from JT Prime17. Fellow Seibertronian Nemesis Primal reported these to us. It seems there will be two core class Shockwaves, one in each mainline that has collectors in mind (Legacy and Studio Series).

Nemesis Primal wrote:More new listings:
-Core Class Skywarp ($9.99)
-Core Class Shockwave ($9.99)
-Core Class Shockwave ($8.49)
-Core Class Iguanus ($9.99)
-Deluxe Class Energon Monster ($22.99)

So there's a Legacy AND an SS Core Shockwave, and a Core Iguanus

From the rumours we hear, the core class Iguanus figure would be an homage to the Pretender figure and not the Beast Wars character. for those unfamiliar with that design, we have a link to the gallery below.

The Energon Monster would be the gimmick for the next line, replacing Fossilisers and Weaponisers.

Could just be a reissue of that one, like Soundwave.

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:SS core Shockwave is really interesting. I was sure it was going to be for 86, but if there's a legacy one too then the SS one probably isn't G1 styled. . .

What if it's a core class DOTM Shockwave that will scale with an upcoming Driller?

Specifically, it's the the shell as the robot mode and the inner figure's motorcycle mode as the vehicle.

If they're slightly lower than the normal price ($8 for Core), they're Studio Series.

How can a legacy character ( as in the term and not the new toyline) be the "new" version of a fan made character from a few years ago?

You forgot Sureshot.

does anyone think we’ll see little to no Siege greebling?
I’m hoping this is the case, & that we start seeing more figures with a cleaner look as with Cyclones, Scourge, Hot Rod, Wreck-gar, etc.
To be consistent it seems like the other 3 Dinobots will have greebling…
I’m just hoping that lessens (or completely goes away) with the other G1 characters
Imo it doesn’t add anything… It looks overly busy and unnecessary.

With it all laid out like that, it seems like Legacy won't have that many non-G1 characters after all. It's just Prime Arcee and Tarantulus in Deluxe, Bulkhead, Predacon Inferno, Armada Starscream and Jhiaxus in Voyager, and Transmetal 2 Megatron in Leader. I do hope Legacy continues beyond a year and we eventually get things like Knock Out or Fuzor Silverbolt.

I believe the $26 one will be because that's what Target in the US charges for SS figures

For what class?

Voyager class. Sorry, thought I included that, but I was also just waking up so I guess I forgot that important part

We'll see if that lasts. With the voyager class getting a price bump in 2022 (we already see it for SS86 Sweep), that $26 for a voyager at Target is nearing their wholesale purchase price.

It'll last as long as Walmart keeps selling them at the same price.

I was thinking SHIP because the Nemesis is a space SHIP. And SINK because it sank in the ocean in G1. But he said it's not the Nemesis.

Not the same Metroplex

I dunno. Until the other neglected characters in the line have been updated IE the last combiners, Blue Bacchus etc Updating updates seems a bit wasteful.

AllNewSuperRobot wrote:True, however that is moot in this instance. As they are simply doing something new with the Metroplex name. Which is interesting. They haven't done that for a while.

Not exactly "new" since it's still an existing Metroplex from 2005.

...I don't know what clues you were looking at, but the clues I saw initially given when the individual talking about the Titan's identity began were "BUILD" and "GIANT", and that the Titan was 100% a Unicron Trilogy character.

Also everyone is saying that's what the Titan'll be not only because of those clues, but because the guy who gave the clues made a post recapping all the listings on one of the 4 or so leaked listing threads over there, accidentally said on that list that the Titan 100% is Cybertron Metroplex, and then edited that part out after the fact, which is pretty damning.

Mr.MicroMaster wrote:All these rumors have me very excited.

Nemesis Reformatted wrote:Yeah "BUILD" was also a clue. Somebody replied & said jokingly "you want us to build a giant sink"? So sink was a clue too. I was trying to think of something that sinks & is water based. At first I was positive it was the Nemesis. But then they said it was UT based so I thought Tidal Wave but he doesn't sink or submerge. Then I gave up.

Well, I totally hate this news but there's nothing I can do about it. I give up trying to make sense out of Hasbro. The Nemesis is a no-brainer & the obvious choice to come right after the Ark. I bet if the Ark was the titan for Earthrise we would definitely be getting the Nemesis for Kingdom. We needed the Nemesis to go with the Ark & the next titan should be a Decepticon. But I guess now the UT overrides everything else. (see what I did there? lol)
