Don't forget that Hasbro has also contradicted themselves in the Q&A regarding a Soundwave release...saying it would never happen a few months ago and then not denying the possibility on the most recent one. I don't trust anything anymore until I see it on the shelves...

Anyone see the posting at seibertron.com about the supposed listing in the TRU computers in Australia of Ironhide, Ramjet, Thrust, Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker & Sideswipe? Hoax? I tend to think it is as I doubt they would list that many new ones ahead of time. To my knowledge, Sideswipe is the only confirmed one of that list. However, it may be true since there are 2 seekers on that list and we all know how Hasbro loves to squeeze as many as they can out of that mold :tfevil

well, considering that Takara have reissued Ironhide and Ratchet in Japan before, that could happen, and the last two Seekers are a no brainer. Also, considering Hoist was a retooled Trailbreaker (90% the same mold), that wouldn't be far off either. I don't think Sunstreaker would be in there, though.

Sorry guys and gals, but I couldn't find any information on the reissues. I was kept quite busy will projects and customers. When I finally did get a chance to look around the computer, the damn thing kept giving me the run around.

 

I'll post any news as I find it, though

Isn't Sunstreaker 90% the same as Red alert and Sideswipe though? Why would he be less likely than Trailbreaker if that's the case?

Sunstreaker has no parts in common with swipe or RA. He's an entirely different mold, with a completely different transformation.

Saw another news story today that said these were confirmed in TRU Canada computers:

 

G1 Ramjet Sku# 180742 $39.99 CAD

G1 Trailbreaker Sku# 180661 $39.99 CAD

What the...? Well, Takara did release Trailbreaker in the Convention exclusives awhile back. So going by that, the only cars we might not see seem to be Sunstreaker, Mirage and Wheeljack >_

G1 Sunstreaker in 2005

Alt Sunstreaker in early 2005

G1 Sunstreaker in 2005
