![New TFP Beast Hunters figures leak onto the web screenshot]()
Recently when writing about Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters fellow editor Scarecroodle asked why Kre-O character Ripclaw wasn't being given a regular figure. At the time I wrote it off as just being the difference between two unique toy lines, but it seems I misjudged Hasbro's interest in crossing lines. An entirely new deluxe figure for Ripclaw is in production featuring an all new bot mode that still shares a few cues from the original Kre-O figure. But the biggest change? He's a she! Yeah, this Ripclaw is a fembot, though it's kinda hard to tell looking at her. I'm really digging her dragon mode with the big, toothy under bite and huge claw-tail. Sharp eyes have pointed out that she shares her design with loyal Shockwave follower Ser-Ket, leaving many to suggest there's a repaint coming in the future. We first learned about her through some leaked images which prompted Hasbro to release some official images last week.
What hasn't seen official images yet (but probably will really soon) is three new deluxe figures that were leaked onto Chinese auction site Taobao this past weekend. First up is a new take on Smokescreen, the first deluxe release of the character by Hasbro. Probably not the Smokescreen figure most people want since he never got a 100% original deluxe figure of his pre-Beast Hunters design despite being the star of the second season. He now features a heavy shell of armor on the front of his car mode and a net launcher. Meanwhile, Bulkhead is getting his first deluxe figure after two previous Voyager scale figures. The design is much like that of the Cyberverse Commander scale figure complete with Roadbuster colors and a 'Spinning Dragon Grinder'.
The third figure is an updated version of Starscream which didn't appear at auction, but rather on a tiny image on the bottom of the packaging for the previous two figures. This is likely an entirely new mold as it features several new design elements like bladed wings and hooked knee spikes. It's unknown what scale he'll be in, but judging by the others it'll likely be another deluxe. His colors are a nod to something I just can't put my finger on...
All four figures are part of wave two and we should get much better images next month at Toy Fair if Hasbro doesn't send some official shots out first.
