We still don’t have any images yet, but this opens up many possibilities for the Studio Series line. Some name from the classic G1 1986 Transformers movie may be more than a coincidence with the 35th anniversary movie just on the horizon.

Not that nitty-gritty. But I think they have to demonstrate, to some extent, a level of variety in the planned waves so that the shelves don't look stagnant.
LoneDragon
I hope not. I really really would like a good Perceptor.
Do all retailers hire Transformers fans for these meetings? I doubt your average executive or whatever knows who is not obscure beyond Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, maybe Starscream…
Hopefully it has at least battlemaster level articulation though?
He was in the assortment for the 35th ann display though. I regret not snagging a second one as it was the only time I saw him in a store. I got my Springer online.
Shin Densetsu
Blitzwing?
Laser_Optimus
Well, I don't think you'll have to worry about Springer seeing as there's no Studio Series listing for him. At most I think if he did see a re-release they might recolor him without the battle damage. I'd probably replace my Siege one for a clean one. Not a fan of the battle damage but the figure itself is fantastic.
Fenrys
Yea, and it didn’t help that he wasn’t repacked in wave 4 or 5
mx-01 archon
Ah, yes, I misremembered. I do recall distribution of that assortment being rather spotty, though.
Fenrys
Springer wasn’t a tail ender, he was in wave 3 of 5
mx-01 archon
If anything, maybe just re-release him, just as they did Astrotrain, Rung, and the Micromaster Combiner pack in Earthrise, because he was a tail-ender and hard to find.
Skycutter
i feel like there not going to be a replacement for siege springer
Zeke1
They'd have to be something hella special for me to replace my TR Legends LG25 Blurr or Siege Springer. But I'm still holding out for a worthy Hot Rod so bring it on!
ZeroBG82
I am so hyped for some of these listings. TFtM is the one element of G1 I genuinely, truly adore.
Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime are bought on issue. Hot Rod is my favorite TF of all time, and I have every official Hot Rod ever released. Not about to break that streak now.
I'm hoping Kup and Blur are good. I liked the CHUG releases, particularly Kup. And the TR versions are both decent. The Kup figure has some clever engineering as well.
But Cyclonus and Galvatron are where all my hype lives right now. My two favorite Decepticons deserve amazing figures. The CHUG Cyclonus is good, but not great. And Galvatron hasn't had a worthy release since his original G1 toy. Come on Hasbro, blow me away with these two. I am ready.
Robogeek28
And that's great that you do.
I however would like to see one without the gimmick at some point. Hopefully soon, but probably not, still… I remain hopeful.
BB Shockwave
I like the TR ones better. I got the Legends Hot Rod and Kup for the Targetmasters, but frankly I likely gonna end up selling both.
If I wanted cartoon colors Kup, there is the Generations picKUP truck version.
The new Hot Rod has to be really good for me to get, since I already have the first Masterpiece, Classics and TR versions, not to mention G1.
Also iffy on Cyclonus. I am fine with the Universe toy (or rather his Hot Rod/Galvy three pack version) and I have CW Cyclonus for toy accuracy.

I'm a little disappointed with this and would prefer a transforming one, but as long as he looks like he should onscreen. As much as his character is irritating as I always liked how he looked.
Subdurmal
Yeah I agree. I only bought the TR one because the alt mode was close enough. But everything else is a disappointment.
I'll probably repaint mine when I replace it with hopefully this better version.
Thundershot
TR Kup’s deco was based on the original toy (and Marvel comic).. Legends was based on the cartoon.
darqen
That would be wonderful – the Titans Return one especially the Hasbro version was a total headscratcher – the colors and look etc. When i first saw the preview pics i genuinely didn't realise who it was meant to be until i read the description. The Takara version was a bit better but that mold just wasn't great.
Thundershot
I love the Headmaster aspect of him.
Robogeek28
Maybe if you could transform him without removing his head…
Mercutio
Makes sense; I'll go with that.
