Encore 20: Devastator.
Encore 21: Twincast
Encore 22: Soundblaster

Listings have also appeared from Hasbro's branch in Malaysia indicating the Commemorative series is making a return...although there appears to be some confusion as to who.

As with the Seacons reisuse, it's quite likely these would hit retail in Asia...but be online only in the U.S.

Edit for clarification:

Hasbro re-reissues are those already reissued. Datsuns, Hot Rod, Astrotrain. As of this edit date, still nothing more. Probably shelved... Perhaps because Hasbro Asia are also agents for Takara, and there's just plain A LOT
of toys being released at the moment.

Nothing more on the Hasbro re-re-issues.

But a reliable source has hinted at.............

Encore.

Dinobots.

Now that seems like a clever idea. The dinobots have aged relatively well and since there hasn't been a decent update of them (bar possibly MP Grimlock, you could argue about the quality of anything else), there could be a good market for them. Not that we'd ever see them in this part of the world though

**Galvasean** · 05-11-2011, 22:56

I've got Grimlock and Snarl (originals). I'd love to complement them with some snazzy reissues.

**wernstrom!** · 14-11-2011, 23:50

I'm gonna be a bit cryptic today:

1) 50/50 chance of something that outmatches pathetic little darts.

And whilst plans sometimes change..... the following IS scheduled.

2) A Thief in the Night is comming.....This story has legs.

**Galvasean** · 15-11-2011, 00:24

Spoiler: Trypticon!

**wernstrom!** · 15-11-2011, 00:28

I think i can trust the soruce a lot further than i can throw the character to whom i'm alluding.

**wernstrom!** · 15-02-2012, 13:42

Five go up, five go down.

This summer.

**wernstrom!** · 11-03-2012, 13:50

MP line has got an internal reshuffle........

They aren't breaking the rules......but they are bending them.

DBK · 28-09-2012, 11:13

Apart from the yellow constructicons, any rumours in the encore line or are they waiting till next year before something to come out?

**wernstrom!** · 28-09-2012, 13:35

Scorponok's apparently become when rather than if. That, Fortress Maximus, and Trypticon are all shuffled into next year.... for now. And Black Zarak's been thrown in the ring too.

Superion... Menasor.... i was *told* they want to steal some thunder from Fansproject and TFC, so that could maybe make them next Spring... which is probably about the time 3rd party offerings will come to completion, but that sounds highly open to change too.

Truth is, i haven't heard a lot about Encore recently, other than 'Oh yeah big anniversary push' coming... Takara just seem to have an ongoing problem WRT to getting what they want from reissues.. That Sixshot reissue was...kind of pricey, and it ticked quite a few
people off, i think. Not in the least because it costs as much as Hexatron will supposedly cost.

There's a lot of chop and change going on at the moment, and out of TT, Hasbro and Hasbro Asia, Hasbro Asia are possibly the only ones who seem to be managing any steady brand growth w/o having to pay off Paramount.

DBK · 28-09-2012, 19:33

Thanks for that update. If all are true, I'll be a very happy camper (just like Rodimus)

**wernstrom!** · 29-09-2012, 12:05

25th anniversary was muted for reissues, and economically things may be worse now than then

So Im not expecting a lot.

DBK · 02-10-2012, 08:56

I found most of the encore series that the price was ok, but with Sixshot hitting 150 dollars or so, I can only imagine Fort Max at least double that. Put shipping on top of that and you're probably looking at 500 dollars or so. I know lots of collectors would want a Fort Max in their collection, but I don't think they would shell out that cash for him (even though its a fair enough price).
