but those parts either side of his head look very much like the Sentinel Prime/Astrotrain ones! can anyone else see parts that look like it may be retooled from previous TR figs?

Voyager Class. All Triple Changers are Voyager Class, while Leader Class has the base modes and helmets. That's the main distinction.
Those pylons on either side of the head are for "beefing" it up, Alpha Trion uses the same principle.

I think the pylons are actually his legs(the TM's) as Immortal Starscream & Bumblebee 21 pointed out, so i guess i was wrong there(as well as the class size)

Sorry friend, the legs I was pointing out are the thighs that make up the top of his dome there. The side bits are the spring loaded pylons that pop up just like sentinel/astrotrain and alpha trion

Ah right, ok, thanks
so i was right about that after all
oh btw....about class size.....wasn't it speculated early on that Broadside may be Leader Class i could've sworn that i read something about that ages ago! yeah yeah....regardless....granted that we now know for sure! that he's Voyager Class.

Emerje wrote:Yeah, all I see in that head is Broadside, not Tidal Wave. As for why they'd do him first rather than as a pre-tool like Astrotrain, Octane, and Blitzwing is simple: They've had CHUG figures before, Broadside hasn't.

Back during Universe 2.0, I always wanted Roughstuff and Overload redecos of Classics Octane/Tankor. I'd love those to be done from Titans Return Laser Prime/Octane as well. Poor Erector though, he get's no love.

If you'd like a CHUG Erector, Movie Mudflap (the one that happened before ROTF's... thing) is decoed in reference to him. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Movie_Mudfl ... _modes.jpg
I agree though, I'd like some random Micromaster redecoes in there. Looking back at the Universe 2.0 line it's kind of one of my favourite things about it; all these amazing Cybertron molds stuffed into CHUG by making them into random Micromasters. It's so cool.

But, more importantly, does this confirm that there will be a 5th wave of tr figures? I mean 1st wave of next year is o/p and megs, 2nd (I would presume) will be blitzy and octane. So will broadside be appearing alongside tidalwave, or will they split it up, like 2nd wave: blitzwing/broadside and 3rd wave: octane/ tidalwave
If so, does that mean they will happen after the movie figures hit stores, or will they be competing for shelf space...

There's no doubt in my mind there'd be a fifth wave. They need to get some easy redecoes/retools out of these molds - as is Hasbro's modus operandi - and the rumours don't seem to pan out for just one more wave.
