It’s been a busy day for TF news, but we have one last bombshell to drop.
Thanks yet again to the detective work of TFW’s Jtprime17, we’ve received some very surprising info: It seems despite 2022 not even being over yet, we may already have some early first listings for the 2024 Legacy line!
These include…
• TRA GEN LEGACY UNI LEADER BW TIGERHAWK
• TRA GEN LEGACY UNI LEADER G1 SANDSTORM
• TRA GEN LEGACY UNI VOYAGER CYBER STARSCREAM
• TRA GEN LEGACY UNI VOYAGER PRIME THUNDERTRON
• TRA GEN LEGACY UNI VOYAGER ANIMATED OPTIMUS PRIME
• TRA GEN LEGACY UNI VOYAGER BW SILVERBOLT
• TRA GEN LEGACY EV LEADER OPTIMUS PRIME (possible package refresh)
• TRA GEN LEGACY CAPSULE LEADER G2 GRIMLOCK (may release in 2023, originally discovered in our last big set of leaks)
We recommend taking this as a rumor until we receive official confirmation, but for now you can sound off with your first impressions on the boards where EANs and product numbers are also listed!

You need to collect all the riddler trophies before seeing the other United wave 3 deluxes
NexMix
Yeah the other deluxes have been seen, it's just that the source of the leaks hasn't approved of them going public yet
TFfandude
From what I remember, Protoman said on a video/livestream 2 weeks ago that Sideburn was not the only figure whose photos appeared on the Chinese website, according to him there were other things there as well. I'm surprised we haven't seen them yet.
TF Hot Rod
That would be my guess yeah with retooling into him for Devastations more toon Optimus design.
Skreeonk
My hope is he's G1 toy based. And yeah that would make sense they use him for Devastation OP as well.
Keep forgetting about G2 Breakdown, but man am I happy to see that in mainline and not some exclusive nonsense. This is maybe weird, but I am actually enjoying the super slow once a year G2 Stunticon release? I don't know, I want them, but I'm in no big rush, but it will be a nice pay-off once they are all in hand. G2 Dragstrip and Dead End are so nice in hand, and IMO look so much better than the G1 versions.
Also very curious about Quake, and if we will be able to tell any pretool details…

NexMix
When was that? I scanned through and didn't see it
TFfandude
Maybe this G1 Prime will be based on the original toy? Then they could possibly make a cartoon version. I think this mold will be used for the deluxe Devastation Optimus, which we will see next year in studio series.
Papa Zoinks
nothing groundbreaking but in pvp’s review for magmatron he showed off the red key that presumably comes with hot shot so hopefully we will see it sooner than later in some capacity
Neko-bot77
I'm curious what this Deluxe Optimus is going to offer that the ss86 version doesn't… Best I can think of is a low-cost alternative during the 40th anniversary.*
*Maybe he's a pretool for one of the 2025 Primes…
Q Prime
I've still got to pick up Shard, Cheetor and Magmatron, but the rest of the year doesn't have much to offer me. Only definite from wave 3 is Vector, and the Rocks are 50/50 depending on if they look any good. Wave 4 isn't much better, with the only certain one being Quake, although OP, Slipstream and Soundwave are pending depending on what exactly they are and how they turn out. Wave 5 is technically next year, but the only sure one (heh) is Sureshot. Maybe Dinobot and Wheeljack.
Not really for this thread, but SS isn't faring much better for me. Swoop is a yes, Steeljaw is a yes, Springer is a maybe, and OP is likely unless they go too far in on toon accuracy. TFOne stuff is maybe depending on if I like the film.
Vanya
Thanks for that.
So my wave 4 & 5 is looking like this so far:
4 – ~Quake, ~Optimus, ~Slipstream (tho I seriously doubt it won't be more than a minor retool of Windblade)
5 – ~Sureshot, Wheeljack, Ramjet
Seeaich
But also don't count on it for definite!
Since there was mention of boosters/thrusters being a part of his gear, I've been thinking Nucleous might be sports car'ed up compared to Magneous, like Scraphook v. Axlegrease.
Foster
Most any toy shipping date listed is a worst case scenario anyway. Have your money ready to go at least 60 days prior!
Greeman
I hope Nucleous has like, a super blocky design theme. Like the remolded parts emphasise he's made of carved out cubes of limestone or something.
TFfandude
It's weird but I remember all the Legacy/Prime and SS waves from 2023-2025. That's why when someone asks about them, I always answer within a few seconds.
Seeaich
Great list from @TFfandude, I'd just note that an intended January wave *may* possibly start to propagate in the preceding December BUT there's no guarantee of that with the current state of Global Shipping, etc.
