- Core Volcanicus. Yeah, I'm interested, even if the last Volcanicus combiner was kinda weak. - Scraphook looks awesome and more Junkions that aren't just Wreck-Gar with a different head are welcome. - Armada Hot Shot looking pretty slick - Needlenose, just when I got my Tracks fixed up. - Leo Prime off making my imported TR Alpha Trion moved to the storage racks. - Tarn, another final First Party toy that I already got a 3rd party one of, but he does look pretty good - SG Soundwave, never got the original mold as Soundwave, but this one is slick for the collection. If it's actually the Nemesis as a Titan I'm gonna run out of space. Also, the poster seems to indicate at least two more Junkion molds coming (a hot rod car and a bike with side-car), Bombshell and Shrapnel to round out the Insecticons, and an Armada Prime. Could we be seeing a Commander Armada Prime this time around, or just leader?

I'm really loving Scraphook. I'm also intrigued that the Legacy Evolution Junkions are going to be the new weaponizers for the series.
Leo Prime looks really nice. I never had one before so this is a must buy. I'm also happy they are keeping the beast mode more realistic looking instead of the cartoony style of BWII. Also finally...FINALLY...we are getting a Tarn and a great looking one at that. Now I can dump the Super 7 pre-order. I had all but figured since Hasbro was parting ways with IDW, the window to get IDW themed characters had shrunk.
I don't think I'll be getting the Core Class Dinobots but I am interested to see who the 6th Dinobot might be. I'm hoping for Paddles or Scorn. One of those two and I might be tempted enough to get these.

Honestly, I've seen some compelling arguments that the final Dinobot will be Slapper. If only because that would match up with Dinoking. 6 Dinobot combiner, with a Triceratops for a torso, same as in Dinoking where Kakuryu forms the torso and Goryu, the T-Rex, forms a leg. And Dinoking has the same dinos as the classic Dinobots, plus an Ankylosaurus.

I am seeing a lot of people on twitter taking bets that Tarn will be retooled into Bludgeon. art by Alex Milne

Sludge is the first Core Class it seems like I might not like. I dunno if it's just that he's compromised due to being a combiner, but it doesn't seem to be that much of a problem for Slag. I'll still get him because missing one of the set, especially for a combiner, will drive me insane. But damn, that kibble.

Galaxy Shuttle. Yes, it's just a retool, but it was that or a Titan. What the hell?!

Galaxy Shuttle was out of left field. Especially for a race themed sub line (except for Cosmos). But he will look good with Star Saber.

news.tfw2005.com/2022/11/08/hasbro-transformers-team-interview-with-ben-maccrae-and-evan-brooks-469808Various details from the interview, but things I found interesting. "Deathsaurus was originally planned for the Transformers 2023 main line (Legacy) but it was then changed for Haslab due to the success of Victory Saber. More features could be achieved as a Haslab like a bigger and more appropriate size for the character. Deathsaurus chest animals were originally planned to be sold as separate Core class toys if they would have stayed in the main line." An interesting look at the comparison between a Commander and a Haslab project. "Pretender shells were out of the price point in the main line definitively. It would have been like paying a Deluxe class price for a small Core with a Pretender shell. So they preferred to make a full deluxe or core character. If fans want Pretender shells, it still may happen. Let Hasbro know you want them in their social media channels. They are still open to the idea." This kind of makes sense overall. Either the shells are crap or the inner robots are crap, so mainline just isn't workable. But maybe a Haslab thing down the line? "Decepticon Monster Pretenders" with actual shells is something that could be interesting.
