Desert Tracker Ratchet

Are we sure that's the Hasbro name for the Voyager? Takara also calls the EZ Collection toy that, whereas Hasbro call their Legends version simply "Autobot Ratchet". Likewise, Takara slaps "Autobot" in front of Breakaway and Knock Out and "Decepticon" in front of Rampage, none of whom need those modifiers in the Hasbro version.--Nevermore 06:33, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Is it just me or would it make more sense for links from this toyline page to take you to the toy in question? While generally it makes sense for a link to take you to the character; the focus of this page is the toys, so it would seem that those are what people want to see when they click on the links.

FYI: Walmart.com took down all those nice links. Oops. Also, were Ramjet and Skywarp officially announced? - Starfield 11:46, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

I wish you hadn't put all those damn links in our pages to begin with! I removed what I could yesterday, but now the ones that remain are apparently dead. Listing when and where a toy was first "announced" is not a necessary thing. --ItsWalky 12:35, 6 May 2009 (EDT)
OK. I was blindly following someone's lead. I was just hoping they still count as officially announced even though it has been taken down. - Starfield 12:44, 6 May 2009 (EDT)
I was the one who initially put all those citation links up, on the off-chance somebody would be all "HEY WHERE IS THE PROOF THAT THIS IS OFFICIAL? BLARGH BLARGH" before I uploaded the official pics, because several of the new molds were first seen some time ago via leaks. Shows what I get for being thorough. --FFN 13:13, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

Human Alliance

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but has hasbro actually confirmed the third human alliance set? The fact that it was added by an unregistered user sent alarm bells ringing, and I'm certain I'd have heard about it if it were true.Thelastallosaur 11:19, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

As I recall, Skids with Mikeala were listed on Amazon. --FFN 11:24, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

Legends Devastator

Shouldn't we list this under the Japanese version for the time being? A Hasbro version hasn't been announced yet to my knowledge.--Nevermore 06:28, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

Whirl and Bludgeon

Aren't they Walmart exclusives? --206.253.51.107 13:57, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

Leader Starscream

Is this official at all? I believe it's just fan speculation, not official words from Hasbro. 68.148.133.58 21:09, 2 June 2009 (EDT)

Nevermind... looks like there is.. 68.148.133.58 22:00, 2 June 2009 (EDT)

Usually when an established member of this wiki adds something to this list, it has been officially confirmed in some manner, usually by statement by the official parties or official images. --FFN 06:35, 3 June 2009 (EDT)

Toys only confirmed for Japan for the time being

Before, it was the Legends Constructicons. Now, it's Buster Optimus Prime.

I'm wondering if we should be really thorough and list them under "Currently only confirmed for Japan" until we see evidence to the contrary, or whether we should jump the gun and just assume that Hasbro will release them eventually. As the Constructicons example shows, that can be a little presumptuous, and the venue might turn out to be wrong. They were originally listed under "Legends", and then Hasbro said they will be a store exclusive.

Now, Buster Optimus Prime is slated by Takara for a higher price than the original ROTF Leader Prime. Either Hasbro will gut a lot of the accessories, or they will release him as an exclusive, or... Anyway, any of that is pure speculation, and I'd prefer to have the toy list reflect information that is actually known (i.e. "only confirmed for Japan"), not speculation.--Nevermore 03:45, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

Thrust

Enough articles have appeared on sites like Seibertron.com showing that Thrust (Breakaway redeco) is coming. Can we add him to the list of Future Waves? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.140.233.16 (talkcontribs) 13:09, July 21, 2009.
