I kinda wish hastak put more “story” into the figure, not like with a cartoon or comic but like, maybe instead of random Easter eggs the black light codes reveal a Tec spec bio and the characters history or something. That’s more interesting than just impactor’s black light code being “wreckers”
Anyway for actual speculation, if they do powermasters via humanoid cassettes would they do it through repaints of frumble, new molds or retools of frumble, i wouldn’t mind any of these I just want powermaster figures.

 

nooooooo!!!!  

my guess is it serves as a starting place for kids to start googling about the given character.

I think you can squeeze in some human characters in the titanmaster/Primemasters size scale, but that largely depends on what Transformers size you prescribe to, it’s not a consistent thing even within individual Transformers universes.

 

Kids are dumb and that’s kinda boring If hastak wants this trilogy to have a story, give the characters actual character right out the box, what’s wrong with bring back the old g1 tech specs but digitally? I mean I don’t think siege had any bios.

 

oh it’s very boring, but if your a data scientist/statistician/etc. it’s a way to measure influence of Transformers products On the web. An example would be looking at google analytics to see if the word wrecker is being googled more upon impactor’s release. Keep in mind I am speculating here.

 

ROCK LORDS!  

I do think hitching on to Transformers might be the best way to try and bring back some of their other lines, like a GI JOE/Transformers crossover or a Stardrive toy with Rom and the other two Space Knights from her origin or whatever.
Though, we might get something like this. Hasbro are in the process of developing a Rom live action movie which is meant to be part of a shared Hasbro cinematic universe. I'm unsure if this will include Transformers or not but who knows? Maybe by that point they'll have settled on if Bumblebee is a Prequel or a Reboot? x)
Edit: I know it's pretty clearly implied but my point with regard to the cinematic universe is there's no way Hasbro WON'T make merch for it.

 

So now that Siege is nearing its end, what figures/characters were you disappointed or surprised didn't get a release?
I was surprised a Bumblebee wasn't released considering how much they're pushing him to prominence. I guess they thought Cyberverse would be good for now. Windblade as well, but again, Cyberverse.
Disappointed we didn't get a Jazz, considering how underwhelming the PoTP version was and the Reveal the Shield Jazz (which I think is the best) will be almost 10 years old.

 

While not specifically for myself I find it crazy that we did not get Bumblebee, Wheeljack or Jazz in Siege considering they were some of the only characters we actually saw Cybertronian modes for in the cartoon!

I am sad we didn't get a Siege quality Windblade. Cyberverse Windblade is so far removed from her 'G1' design it's not even funny. I just want a solid figure with a robot mode true to her original solo comic design(s) in the same way the rest of Siege are to Sunbow. Is that too much to ask? 0o

That said, Windblade is a character we've never actually seen an Earth Mode for as her alt mode in fiction is (to the best of my knowledge) always Cybertronian/Camien. It could be kind of interesting to see an Earth Mode Windblade.

Edit: Strange thought here but, what do you suppose Shockwave's alt mode would have been had he gone to Earth?

 

Oh totally! I mean I can see why, what with the Bumblebee movie being on shelves at the same time, Wheeljack losing the fan vote & Jazz getting a release the year before in Power of the Primes, but more than anything it smacks of bad timing. I do love Wheeljack’s earth mode though, & I’m hopeful/pretty sure Hasbro has listened & will release them in the future.

As for Shockwave, I’ve got quite an easy one he’d be! GI Joe had a laser weapon called the HAL (Heavy Artillery Laser) they released in 1982, just paint it purple with a single barrel instead of two, get rid of the wheels & give it struts (like Galvatron has) and you’ve got Shockwave!

You could even see imagine how he’d transform, with the cannon splitting in half for that asymmetrical look.

I don’t know if Shockwave ever appeared in any of the GI Joe/Transformers comics, but if they ever did a GI Joe/Transformers crossover toy line, I’d have to imagine this would be an easy design.

 

adding onto this, what about a Mask spinoff from transformers? like make up some story in where the humans capture and take apart a transformer to use it's parts for transfroming vehicles, maybe they could create a "nemisis prime" like how nemsis was a human creation from prime. I like the idea of these spinoffs

 

It’d definitely be a great way for hasbro to expand the lore of all of their brands. Hell do the mask drivers as titanmaster sized mini figs so the vehicles can interact with transformers

 

*sniff* I miss Battle Beasts. Those guys were great, and with today's blind bag popularity I could see them being a hit.

Ugh, I've been on this train for a while but there ain't no one pulling her out of the station. Imagine how awesome a HISS Tank that turned into a Decepticon like Quake would be or the X-30 Conquest as an aerialbot. Or....wait for it.....a Trypticon version of the Terror Drome where the Firebat turned into the dinosaur head! There is so much you could do with a combination of these two properties but no one for some reason has successfully thought to combine them.

 

Oh indeed, I get why Bumblebee wasn't on the shelves with early Siege but I'm kind of surprised he or the others weren't brought in in late Siege. Here's hoping we will get some Cybertron figures in Earthrise even if timewise Cybertron Bumblebee Wheeljack and Jazz would now be anachronistic.

And nice idea about an Earth Mode Shockwave  

 

About 1.25” in vehicle mode, lest we forget Titan/Prime Masters are human sized, scaled to vehicles.

 

Hell, I'd be up for some new-age GoBots.

 

Oh! Hasbro is licensing out 1” or 1.5” tall G.I.Joes to that World’s Smallest line. What happened with that? I wanted those when they were rumored for July and then never saw any!

 

Never heard of that

 

Yeah me too, but got tired of waiting and picked up some Diaclone pilots (Mechfans) instead.

I have not heard anything.

here you go
Super Impulse Reveals Officially Licensed World's Smallest G.I. Joe ARAH Toyline - HissTank.com

Well the size largely depends on what Transformers universe you prefer.

If you prefer IDW sized (XL Transformers)

1. Masterpieces and masterpiece humans (1:45 scale)
2. Siege with Diaclone pilot humans 1:60 scale)

if you prefer live action movie (Medium Transformers)

1. Siege with Titanmasters/Primemasters 1:50 scale)

If you prefer season 1 G1 cartoon
1. Siege with Mega Bloks works (1:35 to 1:40 scale)

And yes I have given this ALOT of thought  .

 

From TFW2005’s sister site:

Super Impulse Reveals Officially Licensed World's Smallest G.I. Joe ARAH Toyline - HissTank.com

And I think they’re 1.5” upon review, half the size of 3” Joe Colton.

 

Yeah, but where can we get them?

 

I literally just said I’ve been waiting to see one anywhere!
