Thanks! Always great to receive such hints

Alright, with that i see its already started.


here's my speculation. Ss86 ain't it, cause there's already quite a few alien vehicles.

Hes saying a modern reissue. Prime? Its kind of modern, lines up with those other reissues, and I can't really think of that many space modes

He said mostly though. What about the rest of it?

 

HA!

I LOVE how these new War for Cybertron: Siege, Earthrise, Kingdom, etc. in general are like new, articulated, show-accurate, G1 figures. This is what all us old-school dudes were desperately wanting back in 2004 when Energon was going on. It's cool as hell that Has/Tak are finally doing what we wanted way back when. Plus, as a bonus, we have all these new show-accurate Beast Wars figures that look amazing as well. We're in a new Golden Age of Transformer collecting. I friggin' love it!

 

Huffer looks dope! Cant believe we are getting decent figures for my fav minibots like warpath and huffer! Hope we get a matching brawn sometime in the near future

 

I hear Netflix Soundwaves voice in my head: "Most inferior.."

 

magnus is definitely the weakest of the reveals, the siege mold really held it back

 

Looks like in addition to Hasbro's clever way of handling Dinobot's beast head in robot mode, they've also found a clever way to give him his double-thumbs in robot mode without the raptor having them but without changing the transformation.

Could just be boxart stylisation but I think it's such a good solution that I'm hoping the figure has it.

On another note, Dinobot seems to have his robot mode bones. I don't know how his legs will transform so perhaps they won't have them, but if they do, he might look really really good with Fossilizers. I'm also wondering how they'll do his weapons without ending up with a very rigid, unnatural-looking tail.

 

It looks like it, if not all of it then at least 90/95%.
I'm still loving how different Pipes looks, even in greyscale.

 

I hope that Ultra Magnus is a remopd of his previous figure because it is a PERFECT UM figure.

 

I honestly would have loved a Commander Class Magmatron, I know he didnt appear in the cartoon, but seeing a modern take on him towering over the new BW Megatron would have been glorious.

 

If Huffer looks that good, then I\'m definitely hoping that we  finally get my favorite mini bot Brawn in this lineup, or at least in SS 86 preferably. 

 

Newsflash: Transformers as we know it wouldn't exist without Hasbro.

 

My thoughts exactly! It's Going to be extremely hard for Hasbro to beat out the MFT MS-02 Engineer (AKA G1 Huffer) on G1 toon accuracy! This is going to be a very tuff call!

 

I don't know much about BW but looking at some of the original show pics that have been posted here, shouldn't dinobot be a leader class instead of a voyager?

 

Please! I want this so much! Titan figures in commander class is a big need for me now that Modulators are essentially giants in their own right! How many toes do I need to sell for a Scorponok in Commander Class to go with him? Let my dream of Giants in smaller scale come true!

 

It kinda looks like his beast mode feet are his robot mode feet as well.

 

I've never been a big Huffer guy, but if he has a trailer hitch so he can take Prime's trailer like he did in "Heavy Metal War" I think they got me. At least Huffer had a better sense of humor compared to Gears and by taking Prime's trailer it shows that under all of his snark he still respects Prime and is a good guy at heart. Plus having him and Rattrap together Prime and Primal could not handle that combined level of snark and I think you all just saw me convincing myself to buy this figure in real-time.

A few other quick thoughts: Airazor looks fantastic but I really want to see her wings. Dinobot could be a highlight of the line and the way his velociraptor head forms his chest could be interesting, colors look good too. G2 Inferno was one of my first Transformers, I think I had like three of him because family members kept giving him to me as gifts, so this looks like the version of him I've been waiting for. Ultra Magnus looks good but aside from Optimus Prime and the seekers I've skipped all of the Earth mode Siege figures and I don't see that changing with Magnus. The styracosaurus fossilizer is really starting to grow on me and the idea of BW Megatron leading an army of dinosaur skeletal warriors just seems so metal and his style I might have to go for it.

Overall though this all just looks fantastic and this might be my last year of real hardcore Transformers collecting because honestly toy wise after G1 and Beast Wars, not a whole lot really appeals to me, but man what a year it's going to be.

 

Thank you.

Any chance that Needlenose has a chance at getting out?

 

Looking at it again, his beast feet have four talons in total - two at the front, one at the back, one raised at the front. I'm not sure that corresponds to either his hands or his feet. Maybe just boxart stylisation?

We'll have to wait for some in-hand images I suppose

 

Yeah, there’s clearly a demand and it’s not just me it’s plenty of people, I feel like if they make it available enough and inexpensive then it will be very successful.

 

Dinobot looks so good, even with that small window. And while Grapple didn't really grab me, something about Inferno does. Though I still wish it were the BW version.
