a Windcharger/Battle Ravage two-pack to help clear shelf space.

i think we'll see the sunstreaker trailbreaker repaints... along with some not so well engineered "quick" alts... why go to all that money and trouble of vehicle licensing and design for an exclusive?  no these will probably be repaints put into two packs

If thisn't old Alts. in a MEGA pack, I'd bet they're larger scale Alts. I have no basis for that though...

Maybe the fact that P Prime has confirmed Ironhide.

Wouldn't IH be in the same 1:24 scale though?

Watch it be a paint job like E-Ironhide :eek

I just hope they get good distribution if it is Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker or if they are reffering to Ironhide.

If it's ironhide, which is what we are seeing reports of.  I find it hard to believe it would significantly bigger than current Als because sound it's in the MPOP size range and that just seems outlandish for Ironhide (or any other alt, although I guess grapple would make sense in some ways). To put it another way if MPOP costs $70 how could another bot slot in at 30 and be close to the same size, even minus die cast? 

Probably obvious to most, but my expactation is an SUV or van.  Maybe the rumored MPV.

If it is just a hummer or van or some other 1:24th scale SUV, can they fit it in a normal sized alt box.  I know that for binaltech they could not but those alternators boxes are huge. If it does come in the same size box, it seems like they could keep the price point at $20.  I mean a substantial cost of these things has got to be distribution and packaging.  I guess thats not their business model, but I think $30 would be really high for an alternator if it were just van...

Now that we've got conformation from P.Prime, that the new big bot is Ironhide, does that mean that he will be TRU Exclusive?

In line with pdemaio's thinking, I don't think there was anything in P.Prime's posts that suggested that Ironhide would be any larger than the current Alts.

A bigger bot means more parts and sometimes a more complex transformation. Which means more money. It will definately come in a bigger box to justify the price hike. That why they didnt jam E Landmine into a Mega sized box.
