Legacy United Titan Class Tidal Wave sold out on Hasbro Pulse almost the moment preorders opened.
JT Prime warns that Nemesis was made close to order, so Tidal Wave probably won’t see deep discounts either.
Leaks bring Studio Series Concept Art Sunstreaker, Legacy Gears stock photos and codenames for three new collaboratives.
The crew also reacts to Masterpiece MPG-07 Ginoh and early in-hand photos of MP-58 Hoist.

Transformers One Toyline Listings
The coded listings point to Prime Changers, Mega Changers, 2-in-1 masks, Bot Shots and more. Matt expects even less shelf space for Generations. The crew expects Ross to be loaded with it come Christmas. [Source: TFW2005]
Legacy Tidal Wave Preorders Sell Out on Hasbro Pulse
Tidal Wave went up Tuesday and sold out on Pulse almost immediately. Chris relays JT Prime’s word that Nemesis was made close to order, so grab a preorder now. Brian ordered his on Amazon during the show. The box also shows the Galvatron redeco of Armada Megatron. [Source: Hasbro Pulse]

What We Got This Week
Don
Don got the retro Blaster and Soundwave, which arrived with no packing material. Soundwave’s box got beat up, but the figure is fine. He also picked up Studio Series Scrapheap.
Matt
Matt got a second Toxitron Collection Cloudcover, one for his Seekers and one for his G2 shelf. His sister also sent him LEGO Optimus Prime with a lighting kit.
Diecast
Diecast got Core Class Bumblebee movie concept art Rumble and calls it his worst Core Class of the year so far. MMC sent a parts-free Megatron body for about $65, letting him build a second Megatron from leftover parts. He also got Fans Hobby Huntsman, Yolopark’s G1 Megatron kit from the crowdfunding, and the 40th anniversary Blaster.
Rob
Rob pointed listeners to Transformers Battlegrounds in a Humble Bundle at the $5 tier, available until the 23rd.
Chris
Chris had nothing in Transformers this week. Seven inches of snow kept the mail away.
Brian
Brian got the 40th anniversary retro Blaster. He loves the colors and the gold Steeljaw weapons, and Laserbeak really pops.
