Generations 2027: No More Primes! It is the Age of Evolution!

So is the walmart MR:R capsule the same leaked/rumored 'Energon' walmart subline brought up a month or so ago?

While the upcoming Rook is probably a Windcharger retool, I'm hoping against hope it's a Siege Refractor recolor. Hell, they could recolor practically everyone from "Siege" into G2 White/Teal and it's work. The Weaponizers, the Tetrajet, the Cyclonus/Metalhawk/Ferak (especially Ferak!) mold(s)

Supposedly it's very Villain forward. Collapse is apparently our 3rd Nexus limb.

Interesting. If they're still sticking to the original FunPub dudes, then Landquake would seem to be the obvious one here... but Brawl is a voyager, not a deluxe. So, new tank limb mold? Scaled-down Brawl somehow? Or something completely else?

We also don’t know for sure if Hasbro will cycle in any PR figures either.

I think Playmates has Power Rangers on lockdown for the moment. But sure, that's a Collaborative that's long overdue!

Landquake was also an arm for Nexus while Brawl can only be a leg for Bruticus.

No, the Energon capsule is slated for this fall. Megatron Rising Resistence will be next spring (and maybe longer given the naming, maybe a Speedia type extended capsule?)

Energon Scorponok being on that list REALLY makes me wish we'd get an Energon Landmine redo, though I doubt they could do better than the original, other than maybe better joints. The original looks great standing with my Legacy Junkions!

It sounds like we know more about the 2027 capsule line than the one that should be coming out later tis year.

According to jt

The Energon Capsule is

Siege Optimus in Blue
Miner Megatron in Black and Purple
Cybertronic: Sixgun Retool.
Cybertread: Slammer Retool

Transparent energon parts abound.

Edit: Might wanna update the thread title now that we know the line is called Age of Evolution

Edit 2: Jt has verified that the Sky fire in the Walmart capsule is RID2001 Skyfire, from the 2 Pack with Towline.

CONFIRMED by Hasbro that 2027's Titan release will be another AOE Dinobot

That is bit of a disappointment for me. But at least I will save on the expense and space of getting it.

Early look at how they'll do Machine Wars Skywarp/Thundercracker?

Oh good call, that will be the second MW figure along with the leader Starscream. Maybe they'll repaint the junkion Towline into MW Hubcap, down the line.

I would have waited an eternity for this.

Okay, you got me. I'm totally blanking on what you mean by "PR" figures, then. Because the only other thing my mind defaults to right now is "public relations," and as interesting as those kinds of figures might be, I'm thinking that probably ain't it, either.

Not sure if serious…

But if serious: PR= “Package Refresh”. When we see listings for figures unchanged from prior releases aside from packaging, the listings usually indicate “Character PR”. With only 3 figures in wave 1 of a new mainstream line, I view it highly probable Hasbro will stick a package refresh of someone (probably an Autobot) to better round out the launch wave.

Given the leader/commander heavy nature of what the first wave appears to be (thus far), I think the Legacy United Deluxe G1 Optimus Prime would be a solid candidate to cycle in.

LBD "Nytetrayn" · Apr 20, 2026

OH, gotcha. Thanks!

I've heard of package refreshes, just never by the initials, so I guess that's why I failed to make the connection?

So not 2004 Transformers: Energon as a theme but rather an energon superpowers thingy, eh?

Steamed Hams · Apr 21, 2026

I've seen POTP Optimus pop up in some places, any chance they'll do a POTP Rodimus reissue?

lastmaximal · Apr 22, 2026

Intrigued about the future.

I wonder if they'll do a Bruticus giftset? Menasor got one in the next Legacy leg. IDK if I can afford to play catch-up on Bruticus now that three limbs are out and Onslaught is due soon.
The title and theme for the next leg are pretty interesting, but all that's meaningless if it doesn't get any media or fiction. C'mon, guys.
That character list.
I was hoping Skyfire would be RID2001 Skyfire, and that this would be a new flipchanger-jet mold. The former seems likely now, and I hope the latter is too. I'll be disappointed if this is yet another Needlenose base.
New (likely) takes on Nightbird and Slipstream are interesting. (If the former is an Arcee, please be SS86, not WFC.)
G2 Megatron is LONG overdue. I may get a Hero colors one, but I'll likely get a white/cancelled Hero colors one and/or Reverse Convoy.
Lugnut will be good to see, and maybe I'll replace the RTS one if this straddles the aesthetics well enough.
Energon Scorponok I am intrigued by, but will likely have to pass on. Okay, if they do Dark Scorponok...
Also, if they have the name Skyfire (or Sky Fire) back, can they do a Void Rivals-esque Siege Jetfire redeco at regular retail named Skyfire (or Sky Fire)?
The Energon, Not THAT Energon capsule still leaves me meh, but I'd like to see pictures of the Weaponizers now.
The Resistance capsule, on the other hand, wow. Need more info on all of those.

But...I already started a thread

Generations 2027: No More Primes!

It's that time of year! The usual cadre of leakers have started to get word of next spring's Generations refresh, following the "expansion wave" of Age of the Primes. I've gathered some of the scattered "bits" from the TFW thread, but keep in mind that we're nearly a year out from release...
