According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, Hasbro has filed for fourteen new trademark applications for Transformers. This is typically done when Hasbro wants to exclusively secure a new for present or future use. Some of the fourteen names are being used for obvious reasons (already announced Animated and Universe figures), but several of these names are being trademarked for unknown and unannounced use.

Autobot Camshaft – Autobot Wheelie – Scrapper – Autobot Cosmos – Autobot Blades – Decepticon Bludgeon – Decepticon Heavy Load – Mudflap – Brawn – Oil Slick – Mixmaster – Blitzwing – Lugnut – Warpath

Err…. yeeeah, not gonna happen. The best we can hope for for Cosmos is a deluxe, though he's more likely a Legends class figure.

VOTE FOR LEADER CLASS COSMOS!!!!
So much sweetness in that list.

Cosmos=Win! I love my little G1 minibot to this day.
Katamari Prime
Warpath, ooh kay.
SPLIT LIP
Ah yes, thank you.
Ah, it was Heavytread.
TriBlurr
^Heavy Load is the Universe redeco of Cybertron Quickmix
When was Warpath confirmed for Universe? Closest I've seen is the Red K-mart Mini-con Named Heavytread
SPLIT LIP
Agreed, Universe isn't the most visualy appealing line we've had…
An Icecream bowl? I agree, Animated is sweet and delicious.
Nice!
We know Brawn (legends), Cosmos and Blades (Evac repaint) are for Universe. Hasbro has confirmed that. I hope Bludgeon is in Animated. Wheelie… stick the little prick in Universe and spare Animated from his horridness. Animated has been perfect so far so lets not screw it up now.
Scrapper and Mixmaster we know, but where's Heavy Load go? Could he be another Constructicon that shows up after the first two?

Hooray for Cosmos!!
optimus major

optimus major
WHEELIE!!!!!!!!!!! OH YEA BRING ON TWIN TWIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling that Bludgeon is just going to be a repaint, either one of the deluxe sized tanks, or Legends G2 Megs, or maybe that Minicon tank.
I just hope that if it's one of the deluxe tanks that it is ANYBODY other than that Cyb. Unicron figure. Would be sweet as hell if he got a new mold (in either line) but I just don't think he's high-profile enough for it.
I'm thinking Wheelie will probably either be a repaint or another Legends figure… same with Warpath too.
Then again, that's assuming they'll have anything more than RH figurines.

After the revelation that we're getting new mold Legends toys in Universe, I could see some of the names connected to that class. We know Legends Brawn and Beachcomber will be on the way there, so perhaps Cosmos, Wheelie, and Warpath will be too. I wouldn't be surprised if Warpath was a repaint or maybe remold of the legends-class G2 Megatron, for example.
Laser_Optimus
Yeah, the KB Exclusive back during the begining of Armada… so 2004 was the last time they used it. I'm not sure how long the trademarks last, but I know they have to keep reusing them every couple of years so they don't loose them. I'd say four years is enough time for them to possibly have lost it if that's the reason they're using Decepticon in front of his name, but I always thought that they had to do that because the name was too generic to trademark on it's own or something?
…wish Nevermore would pop in here with his wealth of trademark knowledge…

Cool trandmarks
Thundershot
Sometimes these things don't crop up until after the toy is already out… with that in mind:
Autobot Camshaft (Movie)
Autobot Wheelie (NEW – Animated or Classics)
Scrapper (Animated)
Autobot Cosmos (NEW – Probably Classics)
Autobot Blades (Classics)
Decepticon Bludgeon (NEW – Animated or Classics)
Decepticon Heavy Load (Classics)
Mudflap (Movie)
Brawn (Classics)
Oilslick (Animated)
Mixmaster (Animated)
Blitzwing (Animated)
Lugnut (Animated)
Warpath (Movie)
So really, only three new ones. Bludgeon is weird that they have to use "Decepticon" because they just did one a few years ago. They lost it that fast…

Fort Max
That depends on what you think they are.
Autovolt 127
Cosmos and bludgeon are these what we think they are?
Fort Max
I aggree with a lot of otehr posters here that Bludgeon coudl really work well in TF:A his design is suited to something mor eoutlandish to begin with, and prowl is getting some samurai armour…
Runamuck
God, I hope not.
ROCK_LEE
bet bludgeon will be a cyb unicron repaint.
