Sorry @mikeszekely.  Just confirming the date.

You didn't do anything wrong, amigo. I'm just tying together the official fan stream announcement with my earlier unconfirmed date for preorders. Because yes, they're gonna talk Studio Series, and yes, you're gonna be able to preorder Megatron on Tuesday.😁

The moment he's up for preorder I'm in.

I managed to successfully find a Slingshot at the local target, last one, both it and the walmart are just crawling with SS86 and SSOne Bee's and Que's and Devestation Optimus. 

I rather like Slingshot....his vehicle mode cleans up really well but then in robot mode he's got big legs that'll take up a great amount of space in the cabinet until the rest of the figures are released. So that's 2 down, 3 to go.

Yay! And this time I don't have an appointment!

Hey @Scyla I wanted to give you a heads up. This year's Pulsecon exclusive is Commander-class Armada Nemesis Prime.

I already heard about it, but I don’t know when Pulsecon is or how to purchase any of the exclusives.

The official date hasn't been set, but it's traditionally September. Whatever day it is, you just have to order from Habro Pulse (the EU version does ship to Germany). I just don't remember if you have to be a Pulse Premium member or not.

Ooh, some interesting ones in there. Deluxe Smokescreen has my attention, but I wonder if it's G1 or some other version of the character. I'm still quite happy with my ER version. Deluxe Powerglide, if G1, sounds promising, as well as Animated Wreck-Gar and Ratchet. Glad to see the rest of the Combaticons on that list; I'll be happy to have another Bruticus, and one that's not as floppy as the CW version.

Still waiting for them to do BW Polar Claw. He was my first BW toy, so I have an affinity for him.

Then there's this (not sure if anyone reported on this yet; searched MW forums and found nothing):

Just rumors so far (like Magnus and Grimlock)...

The list tracks pretty well with what I've heard. Powerglide's a bit of a surprise, but not unwelcome; I think it's their intention to replace all minibots with Deluxes, and with Seaspray and Windcharger supposedly I the way it doesn't leave too many left to do. 

Swerve is also one I wasn't aware of, but that's another easy Gears repaint. His cartoon presence was minimal, but he was popular in IDW. I expect we'll see Tailgate, too, at some point after Windcharger.

AFAIK it's Prime Smokescreen.

I don't know how far along in development it got, but he was planned and I think even appeared in some Kingdom artwork. He was shelved indefinitely, though.

Big if true. I've always found the G1 toys fascinating; so far from the animation, then learned later it's because they were original cool mech suits.
