If that leak we saw before is right, I think these are voyagers. But if that leak is right that means we'll be getting a leader class Blackout, and if that's the case. . .

Will is using Photoshop as a verb which is very common in English to mean a photo has been edited.
On the leak from a while back these were listed as wave 2 so if we're already getting leaks of these guys in a more final form then we should be seeing wave 1, TF1 Starscream and ROTF Optimus, pretty soon. Interesting that they'd put two tanks in the same wave.

Also YES to the backdrops. Love that sort of thing. Simple, cheap but really adds some extra atmosphere and scenery to a boring shelf.
These say 12 and 13. Who were the first 11? Are they Movie the Best?

There was a whole movie line leaked on the same day as the potp leaks.
There were a lot including Blackout Grimlock Crowbar Stinger Lockdown and even one called "Tf6 Stryker"

Funnily enough, Megatron and Brawl were listed as the second wave of voyagers in that leak, with a new Starscream and Optimus Prime listed as the first wave of that line. Weird that these are the ones that leaked first.
At least this lends more credence to the original leak, which, oh baby, if we get a better leader Grimlock and a leader Blackout,

Yeah, I still have a hunch (especially with the announcement that there'll only be 4 Transformers in the Bumblebee movie) that the figures for the bee movie will be integrated into this movie edition line.

Not necessarily. I was thinking characters that actually got screen time, but hey why not.

I haven't seen that listing for Crowbar, Stinger, Lockdown, and Stryker. If those are all Deluxe class then the numbers work.
Wave 1: Deluxe x4, Voyager x2, Leader x1
Wave 2: Deluxe x4, Voyager x2, Leader x1
By the time you get back to Wave 2 Voyagers Megatron and Brawl you're at 12 and 13.
Checking out TFWiki I'm reminded that Stryker was Wreckage's working name for the first move until he was cut. Maybe they're using his unused movie assets in the Bee movie?

Just leaks, but what we can assume from those leaks is that there are 6 Voyagers, across 4 waves. Then 2 Leaders. I'm unable to locate the leaks for the rest.

Right, I've got the pictures from the Voyager and Leader leaks, it's just the Deluxe (?) that I somehow missed and can't seem to find listed anywhere. How many waves of that were leaked?

It looks like the Deluxe ones were taken down before anyone could archive them. At any rate, from what I've seen people have made videos of those leaks... That's all I'm gonna say.

OK, I've seen the deluxe photos now thanks to a certain someone that may not want to be named. Looks like Stinger and "TF6 Stryker2" are in both waves 1 and 2 so that throws off my theory about the numbering.
Wave 1: Deluxe 1, 2, 3, 4 - Voyager 5, 6, - Leader 7
Wave 2: Deluxe 8, 9 - Voyager 10, 11 - Leader 12
Based on what we know of wave one and two that would make Brawl and Megatron figures 10 and 11, not 12 and 13.
Only way I can make it work is if they count backwards from Leader class and there are Legends or Legions that we haven't seen leaked yet. Three of those in wave one would fix the count.
Wave 1: Leader 1 - Voyager 2, 3 - Deluxe 4, 5, 6, 7 - Legends 8, 9, 10
Wave 2: Leader 11 - Voyager 12, 13 - Deluxe 14, 15 - Legends ?
That would work and it would give us a place for smaller figures like Wheelie, Brains, Scalpel, and Sqweeks.

Except no Legends have been leaked so far... Eh, wait and see I guess. For all we know there's a third wave.

It's a fair question when we've only gotten ONE figure of Bonecrusher in that time, and it's a deluxe that's way out of proportion to the other figures.

And we could compare this to Decepticon Beserker who now has 4 toys to his name and only appeared for literally 5 seconds in a movie.

Brawl though? Hell yeah! I still kinda fancy the original deluxe (yes I am aware you need to modify his shoulders) and the leader looks incredible too, but this looks amazing and if I can, I'll get it. Brawl is a seriously underrated movie design IMO.

I swear there was another post showing actual Pictures that showed a New Grimlock and a New Blackout, But I can't find it anywhere. even outside of Seibertron.

Wait a minute..
From the Pics I can make out being so blurry.. It looks like these bots are going to be very movie accurate, Brawl looks like he's got tons of great sculpting on the mold, and has more range of movement from his stance and the arms placement.
Megatron looks like his arms are actually more robust and movie accurate as well. Look at that Fusion Cannon silhouette, it's marvelous!
Here's my question..with the accessories and bases..
Is this a sort of Definitive production of the TFCU (Transformers Cinematic Universe)? I mean, well.. if it is, premium sculpting, premium paint apps, and accurate engineered bots, I may have to finalize my G-1 MP collection, and shelve MPM-04, and hold off on MPM-03 and just go this route! I would love to have backdrops and displays for the Best of the TFCU on my shelf dedicated to Bayformers.
It seems like they decided to do all the characters in Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class by actual and accurate movie height. Judging by the crappy pics, the sculpts look really really good.
If this is meant to be the definitive movie toyline.. and done right.. I may jump on board and collect them all!
But before I have a Veritable "Nerdgasm" I need more pics! More Information!!
Looks exciting so far..

With how good Marvel Legends got, it's high time,for that level of attention paid to TFCU fans and their figures.

Yesterday, we were given listings for upcoming toys that match perfectly with the previous rumours of what could be included in the 2018 movie line, here are the listings:
Now this lines up very well with the previously rumoured toys, even those that had odd dates, confirming that this is the same line as the one that will include the Megatron and Brawl we previously saw. These listings are also our very best bet at determining the class/scale of the previously rumoured toys.
By looking at the clear distinctions in price points, we have 3 classes which for the sake of this article we will call Deluxe, Voyager and Leader. This is not definitive because for some reason these prices are all lower price points than what we usually get from this same source. But they are all consistently and proportionally lower so at least the toys will scale that way in correspondence to one another.
Using that and all the info we previously saw, we end up with this as the contents of the 2018 Movie Toyline (known so far):
Deluxe
Bumblebee
Decepticon Stinger
Decepticon Crowbar
Ratchet
Jazz
Lockdown
Voyager
Starscream
Optimus
Megatron
Brawl
Ironhide
Starscream (different deco)
Leader
Blackout
Grimlock
Please remember that the class names are not confirmed, only the scale from one toy to the next. It could be that this entire line is done on a smaller scale, explaining the lower Yen SRP on these toys. Also, from what we now know, the toys in this line should come with bases and backdrops.

The lower price point is a little concerning, because it would imply they cheaped out somewhere to lower it. Smaller molds, less paint apps, less complex, etc. The Brawl and Megatron we've seen so far didn't seem very simplistic, so I'm going to assume the sizes shrunk AGAIN, but maybe they'll surprise me.

And and we were suppose to get two more box sets from titans return and the final wave of animated was always gonna find release or the final line of dark of the moon would get put out.
I’ll wait and see. Things change and leaks aren’t always true.
Remember the leak about the beast wars box sets someone who claimed to work at amazon and “saw everything” like Optimus form apeface and Megatron from snapdragon only for POTP to reveal none of that was true because the headmaster gimmick has been replaced by combiners again. God that was an amazing amount of trolling.

Ok but... we've literally seen images of the packaging style for the Hasbro side of this line. That's how we know, at least for the Hasbro releases, that they'll come with display bases and backgrounds. This isn't some baseless rumor.

I looked more into it and I think we are in the clear for it being the normal sizes we are used to. My comparison to previous listings was to the MB line and that line has a waaaay higher SRP. Which is odd since I bought Voyager Megs and Soundwave from the MB line for the same price as Voyager LG Lio Convoy. But the voyagers are priced the same as the voyagers in Takara's TLK line and the leaders are priced the same as the SRP for the standard TLK leaders in Japan (like Dragonstorm) so its basically the same quality as TLK that we can expect.
I changed my article accordingly.
