Fellow Seibertronian Sentinel_Primal posted an image they found online giving us our very first look at Transformers Kingdom deluxe Slammer. This does indeed seem to be a completely new mold. It also looks like a weaponizer, which was the gimmick of the Siege line. While this toy (and the entirety of wave 4) has yet to be revealed, these will be appearing at retail in the next few months. With this photo, we now know what all the toys in wave 4 look like. For a quick recap, that wave includes deluxe Waspinator, Shadow Panther, Slammer and Pipes along with voyager Tigatron.

His overall shape and proportions remind me of Combiner Wars Rook. His chest even looks like he has a CW Combiner port in his belly (but he really doesn't, it just looks like he does).

He reminds me more of ER Airwave myself. Can't wait to see him next to his old pal Sixgun.

With some neat Repaint, he looks like Doomguy from Doom (since the head is too similar to doomguy)

Awesome been waiting for this. I can't wait to see how he interacts with T30 Metroplex. Airwave was my first thought as far as similarities as well. But I can see some CW likeness as well. This is the only wave 4 I am for sure getting. Can't wait to see better pics.

My first thought was a newer, tougher Autorooper. But I certainly get the Rook vibe, what with his only being able to hold weapons pegged onto the front of his non-fists.
My second thought was that we could possibly use a bigger, better Scamper than what came with our first Titan. Maybe.

Definitely want a new Scamper. I wasn't happy with the one that came with Metroplex to begin with, but when the rest of the Titans came with larger bots...
That hinge in his belly is promising since on the original that was how his tower folded out. Looking forward to seeing more, especially with his arms facing the right way.

Hasbro knows what's been leaked and they aren't doing a single thing to get ahead of them. This tells me they don't care and don't think of us as a significant enough group to be bothered by if we're "spoiled" and will do reveals for the wider audience at their leisure.

More interested in his tower/vehicle mode but at least he's looking nothing like a warpath reuse. Looks a bit generic in bot mode but that could be a good thing.

Hasbro usually, but not always, wants copies in-hand to show. They also want reveal events to lead into pre-orders. And they generally want to pace out reveals over an extended period of time. Do any of those factor into the decision? I don't know, but Hasbro controls their marketing programs but not leaks.
We've seen leaks from retailer inventory, from pre-production art, from early factory copies. I don't think it's realistic to expect them to "get ahead" of all of that. They could institute more controls like more aggressively investigating and punishing employee leakers, but even that has its limits.
I don't think Hasbro doesn't care about fans, I think fans don't care about leaks. If you don't want to see leaks before reveals, there's a simple fix: don't read leak sites. If that was a fan demand, more sites would hide images behind spoiler warnings or something. As it is, everyone is fighting to show it off, because what fans want more than no leaks is seeing everything as soon as they can.

Please no, I don't want him to be a Weaponizer. The Weaponizer format should really be left to new characters, drones, characters that don't have much in the way of established personalities and characters that were already partsformers in G1.

So far, nothing has come up other than Warden saying he wanted a go at the character a while back (then he left to take other Power Rangers). Rumours are we're getting Cybertron Metroplex though...if that's any consolidation.

Leakers said there were no plans for Metroplex, but they also said Titans were being retired, and now they say the next one is Cybertron Metroplex.

Although it goes back to 2013, I do believe it was stated somewhere that Slammer will have some way to interact or connect with T30 Metroplex correct? Again, it's not one of those things that had to be done (like putting TR connections on Siege Omega Supreme), but it was a nice little bonus.

I think you are overthinking things. Metroplex has plenty of 5mm ports available. Slammer should have plenty of 5mm pegs. It should be that simple.

Which is why Hasbro can easily make that statement without blinking. I'd be very surprised if T30 Metroplex actually appeared in Slammer's instructions, now that would be a sign of things to come.

^^^This, there is no way there would be anything official in the instructions referencing a 2013 toy.
However, oddly enough, Metroplex is the best for using the weaponizers despite being developed and sold before they were even a concept. Most/all of his screw holes are 5mm and he has the most of any titan, and more importantly in more usable places than any of the others.

It's already been officially mentioned in his product description that it interacts with a toy that may no longer be available. Not a big stretch to think it will be noted in the instructions even if it is weird.

So I've been spending time with Rodimus and have noticed a few things. The cannon IS meant to store in the trailer, there's a notch on the inside of the front of the trailer that allows the back hinge of the cannon to fit. It's still a bit of a pain to close but it will. Unfortunately every time I slide Rodimus into or out of the trailer the force required causes everything to pop open. Again, after massaging the sides the trailer will stay closed but it is a pain. Any tips to make my life easier?

That Rodimus thing is SS '07 Jazz all over again. People call the toy "crap" because they miss tabbing things in the right way.
Guess the usually unclear instructions don't help.
BTW, I "preordered" my Rodimus at Amazon.ca at 96$CAN instead of 120$CAN (all prices + taxes, of course) while it was "out of stock".
My purchase is now confirmed and the delivery date is set to be around September 13th. I'm looking forward experiencing Rodimus for myself to see what the hoopla is all about.

Road Rage looks pretty good. Although I thought they would re-mould a small something else than just the head for a more traditional feminine look, but I dont know what. On the MP figure they did the head and thighs correct?
I always loved Tracks, but his figure has problems. Now mines looseness is fixed and I am way happier. I applied Future Wax to every joint in his legs and tightened the outer shin leg pin(thanks to everyone involved getting that info out there). So much better now and can hold any pose, plus everything holds together perfectly. Only problem I have with it now is all the clear plastic and the worry of snapping something. Please
, stop using clear plastic. I mean anywhere on figures. Paint on the windows, it looks much better and I dont want to see a bunch of robot parts mashed/jumbled up inside anyway. At the very least no clear plastic on joints and stress areas.

There is a do it yourself fix that was posted a few pages back in this thread. Basically the pins holding the legs together weren't pushed in far enough leaving the gap. You can use a pair of channel locks or pliers and a towel or pot holder (something to keep from gouging the plastic) and push them in the rest of the way.

Wonder if he'll be as crappy as Tracks?

Even the product samples have the crack where the pin in the legs was driven through that Tracks had. Dang.

Thanks. I'm doing all that, guess I just have to massage the parts. Although I just separated Rodimus from the trailer now and nothing happened so it's just one of those things.

I just separated both G1 and Kingdom Rodimus and they're both a bit scary to do. They both require (IMO) excessive force, which I believe is bad design. A simple clip and/or button (on the side?) could be depressed to "unlock" the coupling, making it far easier, and intuitive for users to understand the process.

I’m not obvious to the Engineering flaws on this, but I actually really like the bit and carmodes on Tracks and I really like the colors of Road Rage on this. My reminder is set, I will be ordering this as soon as I can
I hope we get a Loud Pedal at least, and I think this mold could actually look really good as Prime-seque Vehicons.
I think I got lucky on Tracks, mine had lids together and stands fairly well. I wish there was a better way to get the foot over the thigh and I wish the arms pegged into something for flight mode instead of just hanging there

Well the catch is on a spring so that's good. I don't see it breaking but who knows.

Might pick up roadrage first and see if I want to pick up tracks after. I'm liking how the car panels colors all match, the wings showing isn't as noticeable as tracks in car mode.

Looks neat, more in Bot mod than alt as it's busy with lines and looks too blocky. IMO

Finally, My Kingdom Tracks has arrived! 
Along with a substantial haul of other stuff.
Roddy has been shipped and is in transit, hopefully should be here some time next week.

I finally got Kingdom Tracks to replace my old RTS one. I don't mind the ankles, but ...
Is it just me or is the vehicle mode just very small compared to the old one? But I want to know .... is the Corvette just a small car overall? I know it's weird, but the vehicle mode scale matters to me a bit. Not overwhelmingly so, but a bit, so it'd be helpful to know.

Okay, so it is a small car. That does make me feel better about it, thanks.
