Take this one with a grain of salt please. It has been stated by someone in the know that we could be getting an Alpha Trion and Orion Pax two pack next year. It was said to be the SDCC exclusive. While that's all that was said, it can be easy to guess what molds could be used if this did come to pass. With a nice new Kup mold in the SS86 line, an Orion Pax redeco should be right around the corner. As for Alpha Trion, some have guessed the Scourge mold which would fit. We really don't know more than this, but we wanted to share this rumour with you. To give you an idea of what the colour placement would be on the SS 86 Kup figure, here is a digi bash from Cryptic on Twitter.

When are you guys gonna stop posting these garbage digibashes. Every time you do people freak out thinking it’s what it is (because apparently reading is hard)even though it states in the article it’s not and you remove it from the article due to confusion. Literally every time.

I'd be down for a new Alpha Trion, and I've never owned a version of the Scourge mould but have heard great things about it. Orion I can take or leave, he would probably end up on the "Didn't really want it but it was in a twin-pack with someone I did want" pile with Lifeline and Maximal Skywarp.

Remolding/repainting SS86 Scourge and Kup would be pretty smart. Only thing that would need fixing for Pax is to skip the removable arms gimmick. Those would be pointless and make no sense.

Now if that's an "exclusive" that will be as easy to get as the Siege Refraktor trio boxset, that would be great.

Not their fault if all people do is read the headline and look at the pretty pictures, but skip the article itself. >:oP

Alpha Trion out of Scourge has precedence, really:

Head may need retooling (if there isn't an alternate head already). Orion out of Kup has been done quite a few times:

- G1 Kup into e-Hobby Orion Pax
- TR Kup into Movie Tribute Orion Pax
- T30 Orion Pax into unreleased Kup (alternate head confirmed to be Kup)

I can make it make sense easily. He got destroyed and rebuilt into Optimus Prime in at least one iteration of the story.

Plus, there is no way to easily adjust a mold to turn a 2 part bicep or thigh into a single part. It would basically require new arm and leg molds.

Of course there is a really easy way to make each limb a single piece on your own. That would be called super glue.

I have the Generations mold (which the digibash took the head out of) and it's much better than SS86 Kup -- look, articulation & plastic quality. So Orion Pax is a big miss for me, that mold is just not worth double dipping on.

I have the triple changing Alpha Trion and while it's a fun toy, it's nowhere near accurate in the looks department, so I look forward to seeing actual reveal of this anouncement. If it's much better, I'll bite the 2-pack price.

I can't speak re: articulation, but you're flat-out wrong about the look.

This is G1 Orion Pax. SS86 Kup comes decidedly closer to that look than the old deluxe (which was an Aligned toy labeled as the G1 incarnation), as far as existing toys go.

The digibash should have used the PotP head, tho.

Now on this front, you're just plain delusional. :lol:

I hope we get some official data on this line soon.

I get that the original Kup toy being repainted was the way they found to give us a Orion Pax toy,but Orion Pax got two molds for himself after that(Thrilling 30 and Power of the Primes),so why keep repainting Kup in him?

Thrilling 30 doesn't count IMO, ESPECIALLY if you're going for the G1 cartoon. And PotP... while that would be ideal since it's the actual cartoon Orion Pax robot mode, I don't know that they'd be able to sell the Orion Pax part standalone. And I somehow doubt they'd do either a full Leader or a brand-new standalone Orion mold as part of a 2-pack like this.

Side note, both Aligned (IIRC) and 2019 IDW "Orion Pax" feel more like Optronix mislabeled.

I don't disagree that SS86 Kup got a closer body type & styling to the toon look than the Generations Orion Pax, like, by miles. But the Generations toy is an original take on Orion Pax, not a repaint/redeco, and I love it for the originality. The transformation's fun and quite unique too. I thought that Generations Orion Pax's alt mode is conceptually closer to Optimus Prime's (Cybertron OR Earth) truck than Kup's alt mode as well. So I was like "Yes! Finally Hasbro got (retcon?) Orion Pax right!" when it came out.

So if you let me have only one Orion Pax figure out to the existing ones + this rumored SS86 Kup redeco, I'd STILL pick the 1st Generations version.

I would add the plastic quality, too. To the point that I laughed out loud at just that. Having gone back to Prime Wars figures in several cases, none of them have the level of 'plastic quality' as anything in WFC save for perhaps Fangry, who's a floppy a mess as anything I have from any of those previous lines.

I guess we all have our preferences, but I don't even see how the plastic quality is arguable.

The plastic type they used for Gen (T30) Orion Pax was pretty bad. very light with breakage points at the some hinges. I liked the look (especially in car mode) but that toy will not be missed by me.

Why do you keep calling the Thrilling 30 Orion Pax toy an Aligned toy?

It was based on Guido Guidi's Orion Pax design from Spotlight: Blurr, first published by IDW in 2008, two whole years before the first pieces of Aligned media ever saw release (heck, even before ROTF came out).

Faulty memory, that's why; I was getting it mixed up with the WFC Optimus from 2010. My bad. :oops: #-o Feel free to smack me. I blame overload and the fact that FoC toys were lingering at the same time T30 came out. The point that it doesn't really work for resembling cartoon Orion still stands tho.

However, the side note isn't talking about the toys but rather the characters. If memory served Aligned "Orion Pax" recycled the archivist backstory that came from Optronix, the original G1 comics' version of "Optimus Prime before he was Optimus Prime," and I knew for certain 2019 IDW had done the same. Double-checking the wiki, I was right about the Aligned version.

Optronix was from Dreamwave, but yes, he was the archivist. They merged the Orion Pax name from the cartoon with the archivist job from Dreamwave, "aligning" the two together. Apparently, most preferred the "Orion Pax" name anyway since "Optronix" never caught on outside of Dreamwave and a few other very obscure things from the 2000s. IDW 2019 probably went with "Orion Pax as an archivist" too because it's his standard backstory now.

When you say "probably" do you mean that's "probably" his backstory, or that's "probably why" they went with it as his backstory?

If it's the former, it indeed is his backstory. He was just a beefy damn archivist.

That's why I asked, because it wasn't clear to me which you meant based on your wording. I can understand that sentence in two different ways, as I laid out.

Had I written what you said I would have said "IDW went with 'Orion Pax as an archivist' too probably because it's his standard backstory now" emphasizing that they are using that backstory, with the conjecture secondary to the idea. And mind you, I'm not criticizing, just seeking clarity based on how a sentence can be interpreted more than one way in the English language.

1. Oops, got mixed up again.
2. Ah, so just like "Megatron was a miner and gladiator" (which was originally planned for Dreamwave) it's the backstory Furman is married to and so nobody bothers to try telling an interesting story with the cartoon's angle or something fresh. :roll: :-x :BANG_HEAD:

Megatron as a gladiator was from Marvel UK (where Optimus and Sunstreaker were gladiators too). Dreamwave reiterated it, and then IDW added the miner bit. Aligned merged it all together and now it's his standard backstory.

Recent years have shown Hasbro wanting a sense of consistency across the board (Cyberverse season 1 having Bumblebee amnesiac and radio-speaking to align with the Bumblebee movie, the Allspark being launched from Cybertron in both it and the Netflix WFCT cartoon, other elements from the movies and Aligned in both cartoons and the recent comics) in order to give Transformers a more definitive identity like other properties over the years have had (e.g. - the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents spur him to become Batman, the guilt over Uncle Ben's murder spurs Peter Parker to become Spider-Man, the baby Kal-El is sent to Earth from a dying Krypton to become Superman, Steve Rogers becomes Captain America in WWII and awakens in the modern day after being frozen in ice for years, etc.).

Of course, each medium is still free to choose their own direction and details that greatly differ from each other (Ascenticons are IDW2-original, Maximals and Predacons ruled by Galvatron and Optimus-turned-evil Nemesis Prime in an alternate "bad ending" future is Netflix-original, Quintessons as multiversal judges is Cyberverse-original, etc.) so long as the broad strokes remain the same (Optimus was Orion Pax the archivist, Megatron was a miner-turned-gladiator-turned-political revolutionary, etc.).

This news is especially good timing since I'm currently in the midst of giving a full overhaul to the Wiki's Beast Era timeline page, which includes all of the 3H BotCon stories that these characters starred in.[/shamelessplug]

I only quoted you because I couldn't read the tiny text. I have no opinion on your opinion.

My opinion is, other than Cosmos, we couldn't get any other minibots?? Not even Gears?

I'll be playing pick and choose with this lineup, but there are some I'll be picking up.

No hate here. I understand the frustration with the lineup. But I could kind of see it coming. Hasbro needs to get their money's worth from the new BW molds and recreating previous Botcon exclusives is a way to do it. None of these really interest me, I'll just patiently await some news of something I am interested in.

What I find odd is that they are doing even more retailer exclusives as opposed to Selects. I guess one can never tell anymore how something is going to get released.

Not gonna lie, I'm surprised that the biggest critique people have of this list is that the characters aren't higher profile? Like, the biggest complaint from Earthrise was that allegedly high-profile G1 characters were exclusives and therefore hard-to-get, and early in this thread people weren't happy about Cosmos being exclusive, so people now wanting more Minibots and characters that require new molds as exclusives confuses me.

More details:
-Sandstorm allegedly has the mutant mask
-Nightprowler allegedly does NOT have the mutant mask, and is listed as a Deluxe so he will be from the Cheetor mold as opposed to Tigatron
-One of the accessories in the pack with the Red Cog is the arm blade Jetfire had in the WFC cartoon

I don't know who "people" are, but I don't care how we get minibots, exclusive or otherwise so long as we get them. Whoever the people complaining were, aren't me.

I think there is by a difference. I enjoy obscure Japanese characters, and late Original series 1988-1992. However while some might consider Botcon characters also obscure, some consider them little more than fan fiction characters.

Wonder if they'll mention the Zodiac in BW Sandstorm's bio.

...Heck, wonder if they'll make figures of the rest of the Zodiac at some point; they've been picking more obscure characters and alternate iterations each time. If anything, at least there's variety for the collectors.

Though hopefully not before proper Thirteen figures.

I'll probably get most of the things from the list, might pass on some of the simpler repaints like BB Terrorsaur and Walmart Blurr if they aren't that much different from the original releases.

Cosmos is believed to be a retooled (or shared tool) Origins Bumblebee, right? Not sure how well that'll work...

Finally a proper red Cog to go with Grand Maximus! Now we just need a new Deluxe Scamper to finish off the city bots the right way.

All these Botcon repaints make me really wish we got Polar Claw in Kingdom, then we'd be hearing about Grizzly-1 and Survive repaints about now. I'd prefer PC and G-1 with the mutant head and Survive with the regular bot head.

Grizzly-1's whole gimmick is that he uses both faces for each of his split-personalities, so ideally the mold should have one head with two faces front-and-back like the original, letting fans choose which face they'd like to use for each redeco while also keeping Grizzly-1's original character quirk intact.

Indeed. And by that logic, anything that is not the OG G1 Sunbow english cartoon is "fanfiction".

Not much on that list really interests me other than Alpha Trion, I've always wanted a version that wasn't overly sized and goofy looking, specifically one that looked like his G1 appearance. Though I can see how it might be trouble to transform. What I don't care for is him being in a 2-pk with Orion Pax who I don't really care for. I don't know what molds they plan to utilize for these two figures but it has my interest piqued.

Also interested in the Buzzworthy multipack Goldbug and hope that it's the Walmart version painted gold!

So Cosmos is coming then? I'm not sure hw that would work either because those two are drastically different but I guess as long as he looks accurate a new version would be nice and keep me from paying over $30 for the Legends figure. The only issue is that he'll be out of scale with the other minibots I already have such as Seaspray, Beachcomber and potentially Powerglyde. If I ever pull the trigger on that purchase.
Unfortunately he's a Walmart Exclusive and I'm 1/whatever for actually getting it from Walmart, Elita-1 was that one and was easy. The others I had to get from ebay or Mercari.

Fair enough.

Yeah I'm also interested in hearing what logic has led to this statement.

To be clear, Velocitron Blurr is supposed to be Armada Blurr, not a repaint/rerelease of the existing G1 Blurr, so people are speculating/assuming he'll share a mold with Legacy Pointblank.

SS86 Kup for Orion and SS86 Scourge for Trion.

Actually the leakers have been insinuating that Cosmos will be a new mold that gets released as an exclusive LIKE Origins Bee, the Origins-Bee-retool idea is unfounded speculation so far solely based on "they're both UFOs".

Out of what is listed here, the only thing I'll definitely get is the Alpha Trion and Orion Pax twin pack and maybe Black Convoy and Minerva. I'll wait to see how Amazon's Springer and Bulkhead turn out before I decide to get them, if their decos are a HUGE improvement over the originals then I will, but if they're not that different I'll skip them.

Prepare to be disappointed as it'll probably be had Worlds Collide Bumblebee mold redecoed gold with a recoloured Shattered Glass Goldbug head....

Actually it'll just be a redecoed Shattered Glass Goldbug :lol:

If you're asking about the source, there isn't really any straight from Hasbro. It's more a "the most likely" kind of thing given there are two main versions of the original BW Terrorsaur toy: the show-colored Takara variant, and the original release.

If it is that, it'll fit nicely with the World Collide Blackarachnia.
