Toys Early to Rise. Possible Leaked Pics of Megatron Rising Wave 1

Posted by MexiPrime on Facebook, the first possible photos have leaked of Megatron Rising Wave 1. Now, this should be taken with a heaping spoonful of salt as:

Caveat #1 - Blurry "leaked" photos are very easy to fake in this day and age

Caveat #2 - It has been reported that Hasbro now uses placeholder AI-generated concept images in early "to retailer only" marketing material that does not represent the final product

But! With that out of the way, here are the POSSIBLE leaked pics showing Barricade, Nightbird, Collapse, Machine Wars Megatron, Mirage, Hydraulic, Gobots Megatron, Transmetal 1 Megatron, Scorponok, and Lugnut.

If real, this is the best leak since POTP.

 

[The Predaking]

It certainly looks like what they have described, but the image quality definitely makes it suspect.

 

[Platypus Prime]

It can't be real, there's no bald man in front of it with weird black censor bars in awkward spots.

 

[Terrorcon]

Why is there a blurry image when we get leaks like this like why Hasbro and Takara Tomy. Like what's the point in not showing it to us fully like we will eventually see it later on like how come we can't see the full image.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Probably because whoever did the pics wasn't allowed to do it, so they only had low-res screenshots at best.

Has HasTak ever retooled a combiner component from a non-combiner figure?

(I mean, aside from an add-on piece like Ultra Magnus and even then, I don't think the core figure was actually retooled.)

I think everyone's focusing on the WTFness of retooling pre-TM Megatron into the TM one that we're glossing over a different crazy thing.

Allegedly, may or may not be real, products and colors may vary, yes, yea.

Why are there two MW Megatrons in the first pic?

And don't say "one is Megaplex".

I just want to point out if you look at combiner megs... TM Megs can't ber part of that... Nor can Machine wars nor Gobot Megs.

Especially since the front of Gobot Megs doesn't match the foot, and I'm pretty sure the "combined" Machine wars Megatron can't be put in that position from the looks of the Machine Wars Megs.

Apparently the majority of these are just quick AI placeholders. Hasbro makes these to give retailers a very rough idea of what figures are in the upcoming waves.

Just showing how the wave will be packed? Two Megatrons and one of everyone else?

That was my assumption, but there's a lot here that doesn't quite add up.

I can hand wave most of it with the AI business, but I'm still skeptical.

(I was skeptical of the Kranix and Sideways listings, and those were real, so who knows.)

I'm aware of that.

Which is why I'm curious as to why people are treating things like Tm Megs as set in stone, and my point with the Megatron Combiner is that there is no way the toys we see, can fit into that. So either the combination is completely fake, or some of the other mockups are.

Finally I can look forward to a decent Mirage to replace my Siege mold. The other 2 I'm interested in are Nightbird & Scorponok. I really want Hasbro to redo all Titans in fun-sized Commander budget that's around 12" tall. They can live in their separate shelf away form CHUG scale.

The Megatron Combiner & the Constructions are interesting. but w/ maxed-out shelf space I doubt I'll get them.
