Why do I have the feeling Hasbro are in that same mindset they were in after G1 finished airing and every sub-group needed a more and more stupid gimmick?

We have some alleged Takara solicitation material that has leaked. If real, then the next two ML toys will be Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. Apparently we'll see on the 8th of May.

Those two were waaaaaaay down the list of likely candidates, due to the intricate engineering required to give them articulation.

Images have already been leaked, although there is a 8/5 embargo date on reproducing/distributing them. Here's a deliberately modified version (or you can go and Google the original leaked images yourself).

But even through the "censorship," you can still see the articulated arms and legs, as well as fist holes that allow them to hold pistols. They also have wrist swivels, although the front wheels are attached to the base of the fists, so turning the fists also rotates the wheels. e.g. if the fists are upright, then the wheels are turned 90 degrees from the shoulder wheels etc.

If you remember when they leaked the Star Raiders subline, they mentioned there would be a leader class Thundertron. Seeing as it was most likely gonna be a redeco of the Voyager legacy toy, people wondered what would be included. Well, pics show him (slightyl redecoed and retooled) with a redeco of Ratbat and Magneous
