More leaks. Looks like the follow-up to Legacy will be Transformers Generations Prime. Highlights for me:
Air Raid, Fireflight, Sky Dive, Slingshot, Swindle, and Venom! That's right, along with the previous leaks for the end of Legacy, it looks like not only are we getting Devastator but we're looking at Superion and Bruticus too! Along with the completion of the Deluxe Insecticons!!
I can't believe we're getting all those combiners. Devastator I'm sure will be impressive, but I wonder how they'll handle the torsos of Superion and Bruticus. Are they going to make Onslaught and Silverbolt huge? If they'll be leader sized, how will they fill out the extra parts/limbs that Motormaster's trailer becomes? Will they be some kind of commander class versions? Really curious as to how they'll pull this off.
Yeah, no mention of Silverbolt or Onslaught makes me think they'll be crazy big.
Sorry, forgot to post the link:
And, yes, no mention of Silverbolt or Onslaught, while the limb-bots are all Deluxe.
There's a lot here - but Sureshot, Barrage, Venom and a redone Chop Shop have been on top of my list for a while.
I'll wait and see on the combiners; Menasor's re-do is great but I'm not too keen on having to buy all those characters again.
Do we have any idea what's going on with the redone G1 Swoop? I feel like it's been quite a while, and haven't seen any leaks/rumors.
Along with the completion of the Deluxe Insecticons!!*antennae perk up in interest*
Venom is on this leak:
Chopshop and Barrage are on this one:
And Ransack was already released in the Buzzworthy 4-Pack.
I assume 'Rock 2/3' are placeholder names for the RockLord homages yet to come?
Along with the completion of the Deluxe Insecticons!!
Who are the remaining Insecticons? I'm only familiar with the original three, so they're essentially complete for me.
Also, I'm sure a single Hound will be released shortly down the road. Probably right after this 5pk ships.
@ashtalon There was a second group that was never in the cartoon...I think it was a rights issue or something, but anyway there were four: Chop Shop, Venom, Ransack and Barrage. Totally different color schemes from the main Insecticons.
I always think of them as the counterparts to the Omnibots, Whirl, Roadbuster, Topspin and Twin Twist.....the 'off camera gang'. 😀
And yes, I'll be stunned if a single carded Hound doesn't show up at some point.

From the Wiki. As I understand it, some of the toy molds used by Hasbro (from multiple different companies) could not be shown in the cartoon due to licensing. Hence Jetfire becoming Skyfire and looking different. I remember getting a Converter branded toy that was the Barrage mold.
I went ahead and POed the 5pk at Pulse. There's enough different there that I'll appreciate having. I'd love a consistent set of the Ark crew with opaque windows. Hoping for redos of Sideswipe, Mirage, Bluestreak as well. I think Ratchet and Brawn are already coming in a 2pk ala Ironhide and Prowl. Guess I'd also take a Huffer? Maybe they'll do another 2pk with him and Gears.

I'd shit bricks to get the Deluxes in the 'Basics' black/purple/silver colorway; but alas and alack the Multiverse hates me more than everyone else and it'll never happen.
Me seeing an Earth-mode Hound locked in a 5PK with 4 Animation-style repaints I don't want:
