The reason we did not see Knockout, Skyquake and the others is because they are set to be in waves 2 and 3 later.

 

So they aren't finished yet?

 

You sure?

I heard from someone else, Megatron and Shockwave were fake news.

 

I wonder if this means ALL the figures in the preview wave will eventually get 2nd molds.

I like the chest on this new one better, but the transformation and colors better on the original. Hopefully we'll start getting some video reviews of these before too long.

And hasbro, hurry up with the airachnid, will you?

 

So, from what I can tell, this is how the Prime release will look:

First Edition/Preview Wave:

Wave 1
-Bumblebee
-Starscream
-Arcee

-Bulkhead
-Optimus Prime
-Entertainment pack

Wave 1.5
-Cliffjumper
-Zombie Cliffjumper
-Vehicon

Regular Release

Wave 1
-Cliffjumper
-Bumblebee
-Wheeljack
-Soundwave

 

Definitely grabbing Cliffjumper. Wheeljack looks great too.

 

If I'm not mistaken, wave 1.5 only comes with Cliffjumper packed with BB, RC, & SS. Not Terrorjumper and no vehicon. Those aren't until the full swing line. What's coming out next month is the first edition stuff... BB, RC, Cliff, Screamer, 2 pack, OP, & Bulk.

 

What, the... I hated Cliffs toy. That looks good! Were did that come from? Some pictures of Soundwave looked like he had a lot of leg kibble. I'm glad this doesn't . Wheeljack looks as awesome as ever, if not more.

 

This is a different mold for CJ

 

I can't believe we're seeing a different mold for Cliffjumper, and there's STILL no images of TF Prime Ratchet (which is the one I think I was most looking forward to). Very unimpressed.

Any theories on why we're getting 2 Cliffjumpers? That's so weird. Maybe the early pics we saw were just a pre-production mock-up that got scrapped in favour of this new version?

Wheeljack looks grrrrrreat. I think that he will become my new default G1 Wheeljack for classics (minus the swords, and maybe with a new head). I mean, I like the Generations version, but this one still beats it I think. The feet are a little small though.

Isn't it both? The handle is the barrel, and as a gun the hammer is the stock/butt?

 

For reals. Where is mah Voyager Megatron Hasbro!!

 

Nope, the first one is released later this year and the second one is in March

I asked Shadow about this new mold and he just described the weapon as a Hammer

 

Well, Bumblebee will be getting a remold too for the mainline, too. Starscream is getting the voyager treatment come mainline and Optimus already got it. Megatron is even rumored to get his somewhere down the line. Not counting Cyberverse, the only deluxe class character in the First Edition assortment without a second mold in sight is Arcee. Now THAT is weird.

 

I asked Shadow about a possible New mold Arcee with guns, he said it's very possible...

 

Will Wheeljack have a removable faceplate like in the show or not so?
The new cliff mould, does it see the omission of the double arm cannons or are they just promoting the new weapon?

 

If you look at the alt-mode picture of him, the hammer can clearly be used as a gun.

I doubt it. The only way I could see them adding that feature, was if they were working on a Human Alliance figure for him.

I think it's just to differentiate the second mold from the first a bit more.

 

1. Wheeljack has a permanent faceplate on the toy
2. There are two CJ molds. One with guns, one with a hammer

 

Yeah, good point

 

There is a pic of a slide showing Cyberverse Ratchet. Dunno about the Deluxe, though.
