The Fallen looks unreal, a much more worthy representation than their first attempt.

Some of the repaints are nice, but I'm disappointed that more and more of their catalogue leans towards G1 and the samurai stuff. Seeing a Legends scale Lost Light crew feels like a distant dream these days.

 

Interested in the Liokaiser team!

 

Absolutely brilliant announcement! I want almost all of them. Especially the Fallen, SG Magnus and lambros since it seems like their respective alt modes would be Lamborghini Veneno! I'm hyped.

 

Yeah I’m getting Liokaiser, Primal and Cheetor. That’s if they all release this year.

 

Been looking forward to this coming out and I’m kinda bummed, haha. The new lambros look cool, but damned if I hadn’t been hoping for a Hot Rod and some more Lost Light crew. Maybe Cosmos. Maybe some more dinobots, even if they are samurai. Or shoot, a non samurai version of Grimlock.

Also was reeeally hoping to see the frumble they teased like 3 years ago… seems like those may have been scrapped.

 

Edit: @undulate called it. Looks more likely to be an Optimal Optimus retool.
Anyone else get the feeling the Fallen 2.0 is a Samurai Grimlock Retool or is it just me? The height and general build check out compared to Grimlock.

That's probably it.

 

I was thinking optimal optimus, since we are getting a repaint of him. The shoulders resemble optimal's, just imagine the wings on optimal are now the outside pieces of Fallen's shoulders. If I am correct, does this mean Fallen is also a quadruple changer? That partsforming sword could turn into lots of alt mode components.

 

Oh I didn't even think about him!
That does look more like it.

Wonder what he transforms into..

After looking it up the Dreamwave version turns into a goofy tank, and the movie version turns into a goofy jet.



That's perfect for an Optimal Optimus retool.

 

Oh goodness gracious my wallet...

Like the look of Liokiaser, Samurai Primal, and Delta Magnus, might be in for them.

 

If this is how we finally get Nexus Prime, then I'm in hard!!

 

Also telling: can you see Fallen's hand at the top of the weapon? That looks exactly like the alternate hand that optimal comes with. Soooo....whats the ape mode going to look like...optimal's entire chest cavity houses just the ape head!

 

Mostly in for the samurai line so that primal and cheetor are stunning, but that fallen is really tempting

 

Demon headed monster? Lol

Let's see what's what. From the graphic, Liokaiser will be slightly taller than Tarnation, which was taller than Bruticus.

Definitely getting:
Liokaiser
Sideswipe
Sunstreaker
White Prime for Maximus Ambus

Tempted:
The Fallen 2.0
Leadfoot
Shattered Glass Maximus Ambus

If they turn out well, may be tempted by:
Optimus Primal
Cheetor
Red Alert

Not really interested in:
Slipstream Seekers
Tarn colored Helex and Tesarus
Primal Prime (red Optimal Optimus)
Skyfall (Powerglide repaint), thanks to @Baron Baran
Galvatron repaint
Lockdown repaint
Waifuscream

Is that everyone? Liokaiser is of course comprised of Leozack, Hellbat, Guyhawk, Deathcobra, Killbison, Jallguar, and Drillhorn

 

That feminine Thundercracker looks cool. I'll have to keep an eye out for that release when it comes around.

 

Sign me up for most of these.

 

“So which do you want?”

 

I’ll buy liokaiser and the Orion Pax mold, unfortunately a whole lot of uninteresting otherwise.

 

Toy Deco Galvatron... come on.. my wallet!!

 

Other than the sword there's nothing anthem that looks exclusively samurai, they look fine as just IDW esc versions

 

Would be curious if there's a way to transform that Orion mold to look like the Laser Optimus design, with the shoulders

Would be lovely to see RID Scourge in the Samurai line



Also are those threads I spy in the Fallens shoulders?

Wonder if we might also see Armada Megs then
