Here's hoping we'll see those designs for Hot Rod and Soundwave realised as transforming figures.

BTW... At this point there's no way to tell what's exactly supposed to be CHUG aesthetics because Hasbro lumped pretty much everything but the Bayverse there. BW... BM... Armada, WFC, FoC. Then you have bots like T30 Deluxe Bee/Goldbug/Nightbeat who have only partially geewunised Bayverse-style Bumblebee body type. Chromia is TFP with only G1 head and good riddance to tell what kind of aesthetics Windblade is. And of course IDW MTME designs.


But no NuRID figure really fits the Generations line anyway as NuRiDs all have very specific headsculpts.

To sell toys.

To kids who aren't hardcore TF fans knowing and caring about the background grunts.

 

Rid stormshot fits into a chug line pretty easily so no, not all rid figures have this odd aesthetic with their heads

 

RiD Stormshot is a bad example because it's a figure that doesn't fit with the rest NuRiD line. Too blocky and the face has nose. Given how the character never was present in NuRiD show... Probably wasn't even designed for the line.
It still doesn't fit with Generations very well (certainly not "easily") because of the low amount of the sculpted detailing even if compared to CW bots. Makes the figure look like Legends oversized to Deluxe. Or like if it was coming from a different manufacturer.

 

im using bludgeon as a placeholder for an actual version, movie was a bit too overcomplicated for my tastes. feels good in hand, simple enough transformation and it looks like the character. my only issues are the size (would like a large deluxe/small voyager)and the altmode is a bit too stylised

 

What in the heck even happened to this potential line? It was leaked and then nothing. Like, I know (unfortunately) that the reason is that it got cancelled or wasn't ever happening in the first place, but the guy took the time to purple out the windows on the boxes. I feel like there'd be no reason for him/her to do that if there wasn't anything inside those boxes. Perhaps the line got pushed out like Studio Series did (which also would've been totally unknown about if it wasn't for that giant leak, which also came after the original release dates of the first couple waves of Studio Series figures). Anyone happen to know anything about this?

(Yes, I know, digging up a dead thread for a reason other than having news. I don't care.)

 

I’ve been pondering over this leak all damn year without any answers.

 

These could have just been packaging concepts for Cyberverse.

 

Ugh still nothing about this line 

 

It saddens me that everyone in that thread are just dismissing the idea that these could be renders for eventual toy designs, specifically non-kidified designs. PLEASE LET THESE BE RENDERS FOR THE GENERATIONS EVERGREEN DESIGNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What is happening to this line?
