On the one hand, good for Hasbro for finally realizing that the final wave of a toyline is barely ordered by brick & mortar stores. On the other, WTF???? Why put Slugslinger all by himself???? There was a perfect spot in Wave 5 for him! Now online retailers that buy a case to sell SS are going to be stuck with piles of repacks. Unless they only sell SS as part of a 4-pack with his wavemates (Entertainment Earth does this a lot), which leaves die-hard collectors stuck with duplicates.
Nevermore
Co-sells were seen at BotCon IIRC.

I don't think there are any other wave 6 figures.
Last leader – wv5 overlord
Last voyager – wv5 octane & blitzwing
Last legends – wv5 seaspray & cosmos
Last titan master – wv5 ramhorn
No other wv6's were ever announced.
Since hasbro has already announced Power of the Primes, it's safe to assume that titans return is done.
The co-sell's will probably be misfire, blitzwing & overlord

Okay…so what's the co-sell on the back of Slugslinger? Do we finally have some insight into what the Wave "6" figures will be beyond the Deluxe case?

Just a note on the frontpage news story: It's "on a roll" not "on a role"

I got you bro

I notice his 4 circles on the chest match most vintage ones…..no paint!

One more to the jet collection \"yes\" hope I find him.

We are so behind on everything here

We're still getting our Walgreens Wreck-Gar, so that's something to look forward to.
I wouldn't be surprised if this wave had one new legends figure or something and Hasbro was being technical and only meant Slugs was the only deluxe.
trence5
Yep. The 3 part rebirth series, which end the US cartoon.

The real problem with Slugslinger and Arcee is they both seem to be "on their own" for general release whenever they do happen. They could've delayed one of the wave 5 deluxes, or cooked up a quick repaint to go with Slugslinger and it would've been a slightly more appealing case for retailers to order. We still don't know exactly how the "wide release" for Arcee will happen, maybe the Ultra Magnus TM could be dropped but they don't seem to be planning to change her deco. She would be fine at general retail, but she would go well with Slugslinger, and both will probably release at the same general time. Different distribution for two (basically) new toys that are both deluxe seems overly complicated.

I think slugslinger will complete my Titans Return collection for good, so I can move on to POTP.

At least it's THREE Slugslingers in there, but FFS Hasbro could have dropped the Hardhead and just thrown at least one more in. Slugslinger is still gonna be a bitch to find at retail even with 3 per case.

Yeah, it really would have been nice to have gotten the Horrorcons and maybe at least Frenzy and Eject in Wave 6. Two easy-as-hell repaints that I'm assuming would sell okay because they are classic characters, and not even a word on them yet. But if Slugslinger is the only new figure in the entire wave, then that really stinks.
Megasquared
Ehh, not impressed. I'll just wait for the Takara version.
YoungPrime
Slugslinger looks so Generic to me. Guess it's because I've never had any attachment to the character.
Was he even in the Sunbow cartoon?

She may end up being the first offering of a new fan club.
Hence why they refer to the set as early access.
One source I saw said announcement is coming at Hascon.
Same source said that arcee & the ultra magnus titan master came from the apparently cancelled 'intellegence' box set.
Omegax80
Arcee will be accessible to collectors, etc… After the convention. Probably in regular non-convention packaging.
Haha.
bagofshhh
I'm sure those extra Hot Rod's will fly off the shelves since there won't be a new version of the character available in wave 1 of the PotP line.
