I’m not sure as I only looked at the slides posted from Pulse but assortments like these are usually planned for a January launch with some reaching shelves in December immediately beforehand

 

I can't tell based on what was shown in the livestream, but they looked the same to me. John Warden did say they have a different deco than the TR or LG releases, though.
He may have been holding the TR release while talking about them.

 

I'd assume Q1, but we'll see when pre-orders go live.

 

Yo I\'m so pumped for Kingdom Opimus Primal, BW Megatron, Cheetor, man I can\'t wait and Cyclonus looks awesome can\'t wait to pick this line up 

 

If that reduces costs for the packaging but frees up more money to invest on the figures themselves then I’m all for it! I throw away the boxes anyways.

 

You know, I was falling out of love with my old standbyes, Transformers and LEGO. For a good few months, I had just had it, and given up with TF because of all the blockiness and 80's nostalgia, and i don't know what was with LEGO and Me. I was going onto Ebay and purchasing old toys, like Xevoz and K'nex's Rekonstructors (the Zekorian creatures, at any rate), having felt like I was going to turn away from Transformers forever. I now feel a mysterious lightening of the wallet looking at these reveals....

 

Alright, a couple thoughts:
The box art for Kingdon is beautiful
Primal is everything I could've hoped for, so glad that they took him seriously.
Vertebreak is epic, definitely gonna be buying most of the fossilizers.

Was this shown in the live stream? Aside from being a really cool art piece, there's some stuff there that wasn't previously known about:
The Titan Class is the Ark, and it does transform. That's pretty cool.
I guess we're getting a alligator fossilizer? Nice homage to gator Megatron.
Uh, Polar Claw?!
Gears too!!
In the very left corner, you can see Scorponok's claw.
I didn't watch the stream, so maybe they explained the poster, but I really hope those characters were in there for a reason.

 

I recycle!

 

I really hope Sideswipe, Red Alert, Hound, and Mirage get Earth modes as exclusives in some way.

 

Clever Hasbro, reusing a Prime Predacon name for Vertabreak.

 

This might be the first line where I keep all the boxes. That packaging art is just too good.

 

I do too, point is, I don’t keep most packaging

If I like it enough I might be down to buy a book of it some day

 

If that is really how big BW Megs, is...wow! $50 easily spent.

 

The War for Cybertron started because Megatron wouldn't let Optimus Prime split the bill at Maccadam's Oil House.

 

I'm not expecting the art to be a preview of characters but if it is? Polar Claw would be a very welcome surprise. Maybe he's a severe reshell of someobody who doesn't have a retool plan, to recoup the cost on the molds? Maybe a major Primal reshell?

 

I compared them with my Titans Return releases. The only difference is that Cloudraker has a small part on the front of the cockpit painted silver, whereas it was metallic blue on the Titans Return version. Otherwise they’re identical.

 

In the stream Warden said he’s almost like a Commander class figure. Not sure about that, but yeah he’s huge (like the MP).

 

no studio series or cyberverse reveals......
time for tonton to pick up the slack.

 

Yeah nothing revealed here interests me other than the Breakdown two pack. Get to save some money for the rest of the year I guess..

 

So to get Cheetor's gut gun, we need to get RED Cheetor?!?

Hasbro...you sneaky bastards...

 

whoa are those the final colors for Megatron? Face is lookin rather orange. Maybe it’s just the lighting

I’ve grown more on Cyclonus now that better pics have come out.

Is Vertebreak also a Fossilizer or a regular core class figure?
