Chalk this up as a rumor for now as these might just be placeholders, but the Wal-Mart computer systems have a few new names down against the Transformers Generations Deluxe Assortment.
The four names are:
RattrapNightbeat
Crosscut
Tankor
What lends credibility to the rumor is that Rattrap was name-dropped by Dark Cybertron co-writer James Roberts in an interview with Fullmetal Hero. As the current assortment of Generations are based on IDW comics characters, Nightbeat makes sense given his importance in previous story arcs. Crosscut in the past was the name of a redeco / remold of the Autobot, Skids – could this be a potential Skids remold? Tankor though we have no idea on – but that’s the fun of speculation!
Watch this space for more news and future updates.

If we get a repaint of Scoop as Earthquake then I'm okay with this.

It is too bad we are getting two fairly accurate Tankor toys and one is a Basic and the other a Deluxe. :/
Mechafire
I'm… pretty sure that's what it's going to be, duder.
BScorpinok75
eagerly want to see what mold this Tankor is…..

Given we've got an Armada homage, and three Beast Wars figures, it's entirely possible that this indeed a BM homage. If so, I want a new Jetstorm, Obsidian and Strika.

It'd be awesome if they pulled a bait-and-switch and it turns out to be BM Tankor.
PredaconElder
Probably so they could remold it for something else. Perhaps an Armada Demolishor?

waiting for cosmos…..c'mon when

I'm sorta hoping that the "Tankor" They're talking about is Octane.
Yggdrasil
It makes sence that this is wave 5.
.
Crosscut will be a Skids re-paint so he's probably the repain character for that wave which leaver Rattrap, Tankor and Nightbeat as new molds.

Thanks for the headsup!
These were found in the Wal-Mart computers back in August. Can't wait for pics thought!

Assortment; that's a case. That's why it says 8.0.
worldsgreatest
Yeah. Fireflight and Sideswipe are on there too.

NotRamjet97
FOC bro
Shatterpoint
The FOC remold.
Yggdrasil
Ultra Magnus…as a deluxe?
WUT?
EDIT: No wait I'm guessing that's the FOC Ultra Magnus not Generations Ultra Magnus?

IDW Wave 5?
Found this rollback listing at my local Walmart. It identifies Tankor, Crosscut, Nightbeat, and Rattrap as deluxes in the Generations line. This could be the IDW wave 5.

See, I don't care if Nightbeat is a Headmaster or not. Sure, he had the most awesome Nebulon in Muzzle, but he was never a Headmaster in the US Marvel, Dreamwave, or IDW comics. Only the UK Marvel comics and profiles that never really made it into the fiction.
