It’s Speculation Time again. This time it’s for Transformers: Prime.
S250 posted a Twitter update stating that he “just heard some rumor about [a] Giant character of coming transformers series”.
This was then followed by the tweet/twit…
“something like giant arachnida and dinosaur……”.
Now, some of you may remember that towards the end of last year with the help from “Transformers @ The Moon”, we brought you a news that Hasbro had submitted a Trademark Application to the USPTO for the name Airachnid.
Could this be the name of this giant character S250 has heard about?

I can't clarify anything so far,2 new leader class what I heard.but sometimes rumor source not sure how to define class.about 8 months ago I heard about Leader class Bumblebee,but it's named cyber battle ops bumblebee eventrually.
what I heard is
Leader toy1,scorpion-like thing,sound & light
Leader toy2,trypticon-like thing,sound & light

Can you clarify that these are (potentially) TWO new Leader-Class figures, or two figures that're being sold as a leader-class set (round size of two voyagers, plus light/sound gimmicks).
Would like to see it as Trypticon and Scorponok, but if TF is following on from the films, it would not make sense to have Scorps, since he's dead.

Trypticon plzkthnx.

*ears perk up*
Scorponok? Leader class?
Hope it looks closer to Classics than movieverse.
Bumblethumper
good to know, it was just a possibility that had occurred to me.
Would they know if it was from WFC, or is it definitely the new TF show? …Do you expect to hear more about this in the immediate future?
rikkuluverx2
this.
S250
no,both are new mold developing,sound and light effects
if they are only reproduct or reissue,we would know.
Bumblethumper
I don't know your source, but if it's a production line source, is it possible that Hasbro's Masterpiece Grimlock figure could be mixed up in this? Someone who didn't know what it was might describe it as a leader class dinosaur figure.
Similarly maybe Takara are working on an encore Scorponok reissue.
Do you think your source would recognise these?
hupla
If trypticon gets a toy better come with full-tilt! Full-tilt needs some love ;_;
S250
it's still rumor,maybe something fake or something incorrect

If this turns out to be Scorponok and Trypticon this would be the greatest thing ever in the history of everything.
Maybe they merge into Airachnid? Just a thought.
Edit: Kinda hope the dino isn't Grimlock. Nothing against Grimmy by any means, but I personally would MUCH rather have a new Trypticon.
Bumblethumper
Leader class Scorponok and Trypticon would be pretty cool.
Though I'm not sure if Hasbro would release two Decepticon Leader class figures. Maybe one is Grimlock.
S250
a scorpion,a dinosaur,they are separate characters not triplechanger….leader class….

Ya know I'm really more interested on the Humans who will be taking up 2/3's of the film
but they should just spring out and make it a psuedo movieverse Blackarachnia

I think the first post and news story needs to be edited based upon S250's newest posts. This is more likely to be two toys, an update of Scorponok and Trypticon than anything related to Airachnid. That was a good guess based on his tweets, but further information has pretty much ruled out that possibility.
Bumblethumper
Airachnid? … sounds random and ******ed.
I suppose there's still the possibility that it could somehow be worthwhile, but it's not exactly one of those things that instantly jumps out at you as a brilliant idea.
I'd prefer if it's something of little consequence, like maybe a repaint of the new scoutclass Insecticon mold.

That would be…
