From the listings Hasbro has canceled wave 2 of Legacy Evolution and Studio Series this year to redistribute them in waves 3 and 4, so as of now nothing seems outright canceled just pushed back to later waves.

I love insider info like this. Thanks for posting it.

> Titan Nemesis (October)

Welp, now I know when I need to cough up another $200...

> Core wave 3 Alpha Trion, Nemesis Thundercracker

Aww, a widdle itty bitty Alpha Trion? I can't wait.

> Commander SS86 Ultra Magnus

I have been saying for years now that we needed a Commander-class Ultra Magnus. Bring it on, baby!

> Deluxe Magnificus (June)

We already got Magnificus, though. (Never did order the thing, though. I probably need to at some point.)

> Deluxe Triggercon (October)

If this isn't Crankcase (obviously), I'm guessing it's Windsweeper, and I'm guessing it's a Needlenose remold. While I'm going out on a limb, I feel like they're going to end up reusing Beachcomber to give us Ruckus.
