Super 7, via their Twitter account, have just revealed their Transformers Ultimates Wave 2 & 3 line up and pre-order schedule.
Super 7 surprised us in the end of January with the reveal of the first wave of their Transformers Ultimates line of non-transforming Transformers figures. Following the upcoming release of Optimus Prime, Ghost of Starscream, Bombshell (Action Master design) and Banzaitron (Action Master design) now we can confirm that two more waves are in the works. Read on for the full line up and pre-order details.
- Transformers Ultimates Wave 2 – Pre-orders in Summer 2021.
- G1 Megatron
- G1 Grimlock (dino mode)
- G1 Bludgeon (Pretender)
- G1 Tracks
- Transformers Ultimates Wave 3 – Pre-orders in Fall 2021.
- IDW Tarn
- G2 Megatron
- G1 Alligatorcon
- G1 Wreck-Gar
It seems the Transformers franchise is now expanding even more in the non-transforming action figure market. Images of the figures are yet to be revealed, but you can share your impressions on the 2005 Board.

I would kill for an Andrew Wildman Artist's Collection Series. Give me Scorponok, Bludgeon, Prowl, and Fangry all in his style and I'd be a VERY happy man.

A Marvel style Fangry could work well as an Ultimate, possibly with a removable Grimlock’s fist shaped hole in his chest to recreate his death!

oh!

Because that other guy started in on me, so I had to provide sources on Emiliano's career, to somehow prove I don't hate his designs, or him. Yeah it's stupid. Damn stupid, and I'm an idiot for getting involved. Note I'm not arguing whether he's a 'true fan'. Just that his first love is He-Man, and the other guy has the sequence of events wrong. Then the other guy bit my face off and made up shit I'd never said.
But yeah like I said, I'm the fool here, to be honest.

…What does any of this have to do with whether or not he's a Transformers fan? He can be very into He-Man, and have it as his first love, and still be very into Transformers.
This whole discussion of trying to "prove" he's not """a true fan""" or whatever is really weird.

I just got reminded of something rather important about Emiliano. Remember, I said He-Man is his first love, and I've seen fan art of his from as far back as 1989. You've obviously seen reams of Transformers fan art he supposedly did all the time before joining Hasbro, could you please post links, I'm sure we'd all love to see them. As an Emiliano fan, I'd genuinely like to see his early takes on them.
But Transformers was absolutely NOT his long-term plan, and here's proof that I'd forgotten about. Circa 2009, he and some of the other guys from his previous defunct comics company (which produced He-Man comics, naturally) worked extensively on a new bible for an all-new comic series for He-Man. It of course featured a tonne of drawings and all-new redesigns by Emiliano, a hell of a lot of work. It was presented to Mattel, but was rejected, it was simply not the direction they had in mind.
Emiliano went on to talk about all this in Toyfare magazine (magazines, remember those?) and Mattel gave him a shiny reward for that. Wanna guess what it was? It was a Cease And Desist notice. So that embittered him slightly, though to my knowledge he still kept buying the toys, so still remained/remains a He-Man fan.
Had his comics pitch been approved back then, things could have turned out very differently, and he may never have ended up at Hasbro. In some alternate universe he's probably designing He-Man toys as we speak. So yes, I think that adds to the story, and tells us exactly where he wants to be, but that he's probably also quite happy where he is too. We all have dreams of the grass on the other side.

I guess Kamen Riders originally being cyborgs somehow makes them qualify.

Shogun Warriors was called Jumbo Machinder in Japan and featured Super Robots from different properties within the line.

Just found out how much this is going to cost. Never mind.

It is, 25 dollar deposit I think.
Q Prime
There were Shogun Warriors Kamen Riders in Japan?!
OriginalFire
They did make an Optimus Prime. He might be on BBTS

I'm excited to see that t-Rex mode Grimlock!

Non transforming? Pass

Plus a flower and his firearm/small pistol of course. Maybe even a small pool of golden lagoon electrum with a swap out hand that's inside it. Oh also thanks! Yeah I know that episode. I watched it as a 9 year old quite memorable on my 3 channel TV back in day. It's the amalgam I was unsure of.
No not "confirmed" @SmokePants unfortunately, your not wrong. Unwaivering as it is to think they'd keep the mattel level of engineering your not wrong. However I bet they will surprise us & they'll be a upgrade in development. I got Prime, I'll be in for Tracks possiby Wreck Gar, Megs, & I'm thinking about Screamer. Pretenders are definitely cool. For Action Masters I'll stick with smaller phones.

Where did they say this?
I completely agree. I was wondering if they were using CGI magic, which in the collector world for solicitations is definitely frowned upon in many cases. I'm kinda annoyed tbh. I just don't think Brian really gets being a collector like a big fan besides his job & his own interests possibly. Which is fine, he's a nice guy imo, but it shows.

Yeah, I only realised after the video that the pics can’t be showing actual articulation. Doesn’t seem a wise thing to do from their POV, given how many articulation questions they’ve had.
