Transformers Prime Voyager Thundertron, Ultra Magnus and Skyquake Confirmed for Hasbro Release

By way of an official Hasbro Malaysia catalog, we have got a look at some upcoming Transformers Prime Voyager Class toys. This catalog shows Voyager Waves 3 and 4 (and beyond...?)

On show here, and confirmed to be getting a release in Hasbro's Transformers Prime line outside Japan are:

Ultra Magnus - big blue truck like the Cyberverse toy. He has a cannon emplacement on the rear of the truck near his tow hitch which is his MechTech weapon. It converts into a gigantic hammer.

Thundertron - Blue wolf / liger that transforms into a peg-legged robot mode. His MechTech is some kind of claw weapon which transforms into a sword. He is being marketed as a part of the new third faction, the Star Seekers, which he was introduced as the leader of in the Transformers Exiles novel.

And as a shock reveal, Skyquake - the Decepticon sleeper from episode 6, Masters and Students, killed in his first appearance, is getting a toy. He's a straight-up redeco of Dreadwing but has a modified MechTech weapon to represent his show model's different weapon.

Speaking of Dreadwing, he is also shown, and like all these others his toy bio and tech specs is revealed in these images.


Notable by his absense is Breakdown - so if you are worried this one might be passed over for a US release you might want to jump on a Japanese release of this one when it comes out later this week. I personally would not worry too much because even with a two-episode wonder like Skyquake getting the toy treatment, all odds are Breakdown is simply in a future assortment. I'd still recommend investing in the Japanese one if you "must own" a version of the character though.

Posing Dreadwing and Skyquake in bro ways will be one fun day. I'll gladly take two of that awesome looking mold. Oh, and Shatterwave blaster is an awesome name.

The Magnus hammer on Magnus looks so boss, I have to mod it to stay deployed. Plus his secondary weapon is a fucking warhead.

Thundertron looks so boss, I wanna see his crew.

Okay, now that the other thread is locked, I'll repost my question here: Is that a new faction symbol for Thundertron?
rxlthunder
Sorry to repost, but the AM versions of these will probably be better because they don't have stupid weapons. I can guarantee it.

More like the Hasbro versions will be better because they have paint instead of a few stickers.
Deceptigtar
awesome. sucks about the weapons for dread and sky but im sure a third party or shapeways will solve that!
Heat Guy
Ultra Magnus is bought.
TriBlurr
Is Skyquake's weapon retooled to look like his one from the show????
dsprks75
So... No Breakdown?
rxlthunder
I'm sorry for liking my weapons with the ability to stay out and in a weapon shape and not caring about something like paint or stickers.

Cheem The Rup

Shatterpoint

It does look like a whole new symbol. Doubt he's an Autobot / Decepticon though, read his bio: Star Seeker.



Star Saber
Awesome! Ultra Magnus looks very nice! I hope he's going to show up in a future episode or two.
Smasher
Dreadwing and Skyquake?
Amazing.

It's curious that there's still no Breakdown.
Bountyan
Gonna get pretty much all of those. These Voyagers look a lot better than most of the early ones.

I suspect that is the "Star Seekers" faction symbol. The others say Autobot or Decepticon in the red area under their name. Thundertron's says Star Seeker.

Weird to see a new 'bot with a Beast mode. Easy pass for me.
The Bucket Kitten
All four of them look amazing, I'm surprise Hasbro gave Thundertron the Star Seeker symbol.

Yup Star Seeker - Transformers Wiki
Neo Vox
SWEET! I could care less about how Airachnid looks after seeing these voyagers.
Sinnertwin
Beautiful news. Ultra Magnus is the boss, and Thundertron looks slick as hell. Also very glad that we are indeed getting a Skyquake.
shroobmaster
Dreadwing, Ultra Magnus and Thundertron are all sure buys. Even Skyquake might be one since his color scheme is very different.
Shatterpoint
Good thing I got my preorders in.
HeroicC300
Damn, I was ready to stick with CV. Now I need Dreadwing, Skyquake, Magnus, Thundertron, and any new in-show characters at the deluxe price point.
eriku
EYEGASM.
I demand all four of them be placed in front of me for my enjoyment now.
Optimus Prime
Well this just made my day. Can't wait to own all of these!
Lbsammills51
I'm very glad to see Skyquake's getting a release somewhere. I may end up getting both the Hasbro and Takara versions of Dreadwing based on the weapons.
General Tekno
Skyquake AND Dreadwing?

Hell. Yes.

I figured getting both was gonna be 6 months to a year off, but this.... YES.

Also, hey, the Star Seeker faction symbol intrigues me. I'm getting a Planet X vibe from Thundertron, as that's one of the ways it could work in the mythos.

MORE interesting though would be if Hasbro was bringing Nova Prime and his expansionist, Cybertronian purity ideals into the Aligned backstory. As then, it could well be that Thundertron's world was a victim of Nova's expansion plans.

EDIT: And hey - I'm getting a Beast Machines vibe off Thundertron's design. Reminds me of BM Cheetor aesthetically in beast mode.
Soundwinder
Need clearer pics of Magnus, but to be honest I think that his Cyberverse version is really all I'm going to need.

Ditto Dreadwing.

I foresee Dreadwing's mechtech being used for Galvatron customs.
Optimus1116
Oh my god. All of these are so epic! I have to get my hands on Skyquake and Dreadwing at least, and then try to get Magnus and maybe that other guy.
Kaijumaster
Ultra Magnus is AMAZING!!!!

Dreadwing will be repainted into Depth Charge
SkyQauke will be fine.

Thundertron is gonna need to grow on me.....
Wheeljack_Prime
Hasbro, you are officially forgiven for what happened with FE and for new Bulkhead
power3921
I really want that Magnus! The hammer looks awesome.

So far, the whole "Breakdown is a Japan only mold" thing is holding true... That doesn't bode well for those of us that want US Jet Vehicons.

Preorders for the US versions? Where?

I forsee Dreadwing's mechtech ending up in the same landfill as all the other Mechtech weapons I've thrown away.
Mechafire
Want all of these.
General Tekno
You know, there's gonna be at least one other Voyager wave before Christmas. The one that Canada doesn't get until the new year at the earliest.

Wouldn't be surprised if Breakdown's in that one. Though now that we've seen Skyquake, given he's been dead for awhile, I have to wonder if Hasbro will surprise us and give us BOTH Breakdown toolings in the same wave (or just one wave apart).
miscreant
Sold. All of them.


...and after the lousy weapon they kicked in with RID Prime, it looks like the weapons may be improving too.

Takara versions.

Hopefully Thundertron has a new color scheme when he's Leo Prime/Riperamu.

Well there's still their surprise announcement that response to SDCC Bruticus was so positive...... they decided to reduce production to reward the real fans.
Sumner Sturgeon
Aghh, dammit, does anyone have an alternate link for the pics? My work internet is blocking them...
Autobot_Jacer
YES!!!!! This is awesome news! I cant wait to get these guys. I hope America gets the jet vehicon too!
