Uh? Are these people dumb or trolling?
We only ever saw the front of the box too.

Surely they would have to be trolling, there's no way anyone would believe that motormaster wouldn't have an individual robot mode.

I don't know, they set a precedence with Stealth Force and that one movie Devastator so it's possible! Let me go write an article about it, I hear it's the type of thing we'd do.

They have a very big user base for their forums, so al it takes is one or two people to be paranoid about a particular aspect and the rest start piling on them.

But yes, these days online, you never know what's legit or what's made to instigate something.

Don't forget to include a lot of digibashed images!

Surprise! First wave 2 Shattered glass figure is Ultra Magnus, not Blaster. He's the G1 style Delta Magnus style body, but he DOES come with a Delta Magnus head so I guess I'm buying two if I can get an order in...

What a twist! Blaster leaks, but Magnus gets the reveal. Really nice that they included the Diaclone head even if it's a hardware change and not a simple accessory swap.

He's also THREE characters in one! Not just SG Ultra Magnus and Diaclone Delta Magnus, but also Magna Convoy!

They actually included the alternate head to grab people who want Delta Magnus, I can't believe it. And Laser Prime's accessories to be the Terminus Blade, wow.

Did anyone else catch that his Pulse page says that he comes with the first comic in another 5-issue mini? Looking at the pics from the stream, they showed the cover, so this probably isn't just them copying the description text from the other SG releases. If that's accurate, it's notable since:
1. We thought the SG comics were done since IDW is losing the license, and
2. we only had leaks for Magnus, Soundwave, Blaster, and Wheeljack, so who's the fifth comic gonna come with?

I told you there would be comics.

Yeah, I didn't think there was any confusion over another bout of comics, the licence ends in December, plenty of time for these five issues.

There is a fifth yet-to-be-leaked SG figure coming this year, Magnus's page confirms it further than just the number of issues the comic has.

Totally called it. Skeletal head with optional Delta Magnus head. 2 for the price of one and Hasbro gets money from 2 sets of fans.

Blue Prime is tasty,

Sad, I'll never be able to get one. Pulse exclusives don't show up anywhere I can get them shipped to me from.

Maybe the fifth one is Prowl. He's been semi-prominent in the comics.

I'd love that. He is the third horseman or whatever they're calling the rulers on Cybertron.

Or in some cases, 2 sets of money from the same fans. I've seen multiple people saying they're getting a pair so that both their SG and Diaclone shelves are complete.

True!

Raises hand.

I'll probably snag Ultra Magnus for the Delta Magnus mode. I like the skeletal face, but we really need more SG Cons before more SG Bots

We currently have planned a Leader, two Voyagers and a Deluxe so a second Deluxe like Prowl does make sense.

As a big fan of Prowl I might just splurge and get him if made and would be my very first SG purchase. They all looked neat and I would have potentially bought a couple had hey not been higher than their basic counterparts, because now they also charge for shipping even if you order over $50 so it's juts not fiscally warranted IMO

Magnus is really giving me fits. I LOVE that head! But I do not like the mold choice for him. The mold is just too blocky, especially since they keep the Terminus sword, for him. I would have preferred the Laser Prime mold.

As Delta Magnus, it works great, and i like that they give us options.

I preordered 2, 1 for each head use. I need a Diaclone commander, and I want a SG Magnus

Having Siege Magnus, I had no interests in the Kingdom version. But if Delta Magnus is the Kingdom mold AND he's available at Canadian GameStop, I may get him.

Wow, can't believe the remaining four are all redecos of the same mold.

I really like how they managed to make Magnus into a 3-in-1! Really nice collectible value!

Also, if the comic is getting a new arc, does it mean IDW will continue the storyline, or will the new publisher take over?

So, that's Ultra Magnus confirmed, and a leaked Blaster. Who else do you think is coming for wave 2? Based on the previous comics, I'm betting on Soundwave, Prowl and Slicer/Wheeljack. Metroplex would be cool and fitting given the comic's focus on the Titans, but seems very unlikely.
