TFW2005 member Monzo has sleuthed out some of Hasbro’s recent trademark filing applications at the United States Trademark and Patent Office.
Autobot HoundKickback
Blight
Nemesis Strika
Scattorshot
Wing Saber
Vector Prime
While all these names have previously been registered to Hasbro, this round of filings could possibly indicate a return of these characters in upcoming Transformer media. Check out the thread on the message boards for links to each application.

Wing Saber could be a Prime character.

Wouldn't Nemesis Strika actually be an Autobot? If Strika was a bad character, the Nemesis would reverse it to make it a good character.

Wing Saber is probably a repaint of Vector Prime.
Atomatron
more botshots or kreo, nothing to get too excited about
Stepper
Am not ready as yet,must give my wallet some time to recover

I dunno. That's all pretty much wishful thinking. More than likely they're all mostly Bot Shots or— HOLY CRAP YOUR SIG PIC! I CAN'T UNSEE THE CAMEL TOE AND BOOBS!!!

Modern Deluxe insecticons would be lovely and the japanese really like beetles and such – but as they were not on the Tv show and because of Beetras I suppose it's not possible unless Takara/Tomy has the rights to Beetras too. Even straight reissues of the Deluxe insecticons would be nice especially if they can also make the 5th ladybird/ladybug fembot one too.

If they don't one of the third parties should.

deathsheadII
wasn't it hinted at in the mp speculation thread ( first thread that got closed ) that we would be getting new g1 looking insecticons? as part of the new line that tcracker hinted at? or am i just dreaming this? pretty sure i am not imagining it!
"EDIT" no i didn't dream it

Incoming generations and maybe a prime hound and insecticon?

So they did Scattorshot off of the Cybertron version?
Anguirus
^ Sadly, WfC Scattorshot was based on a different version of the character.
Maybe it doesn't matter…but Brawl looks EXACTLY like his WfC design.

Oh Lord, if they wind up with FOC Computron, I may indeed need to be resuscitated.

As far as Kickback goes this is gonna be what alot of people looking at this post expect, so it seems the juicer questions that follow that are if it will be Classics, WFC/FOC or Prime styled. Then again that could be said for all of these . That said, Autobot Hound reappearing seems to indicate that they won't all be Classicsverse at any rate lol. The other point is, where people see one Insecticon, they might want to find three, and at a pinch I could see Blight and maybe Nemesis Strika as last resort names. That said I wouldn't hold my break, and particularly for the latter, my hopes are for something that lives up to the name. Maybe the Deluxe Straxus could see another retool as Strika? So long as it's cool I'm not fussed about the continuity/series/range etc it belongs to.
Yeah I wonder if there's any link between these TM updates and the fairly recent news that Transformers: Prime is getting a third season. As a general question to anyone who knows or can make an educated guess, is there a timeframe or ballpark figure on when we might see some fruits to these Trademark investments? That is, some prototypes or indeed other substantial news on figures?

=0 Easily the most receptive post of yours I've bumped into this week haha. I will be keen to see if the toy – or sticking 'Nemesis' on the front of the name will make this release as diabolically good as it sounds!
