    Come to me Cog o' my Dreams!

    Confirmed wave 1 too! Yay!

    Also before I get distracted by the Shiny again, Longtooth seems a bit overconfident confronting Octopunch by himself...

    Oh, I see! A little something in the ol' back pocket, eh?

    You Little CHEATER!

    It's a bit chunkier than the Infinity stone but at least he CAN actually grip this wee "Matrix fragment"!

    Now roll on the official pics, I wants to drool over Deluxe Cog!

    I think I'm going to give these WFC figures a punt, not many announced yet for the first wave, just Cog and Sideswipe for deluxe, Prime for voyager and Magnus for leader so I'm wondering who else might make up wave one, Ironhide and Chromia are wave 2 so it won't be them. Maybe some cons.

    Mech Fans Toys are only doing their own Sideswipe!

    Aside from a hole in the car roof for the gun to peg into it's looking rather nice.

    Hope they do an original Sunstreaker and then I can have Legends Lambros in 2 distinctly different styles.

    Just realised that WFC Prime looks like he's sporting a Trump hairdo in alt mode.

    All aboard the Trump-mobile!

    Preach!

    Preach!

    Preach!

    Yeah, I do enjoy Roche's conceptual covers. Can't wait to see a decent res image of this.

    Well, that was quite a lot to take in, wasn't it?

    So that pretty much all looks amazing. I'm really impressed with the designs and execution. And I'm really pretty ok with how '84 centric it is, so far.
    I see the Ark featured prominently in the WfC artwork. If that's a tease for a Titan class Omega Supreme, TF:A style then consider me titilated.
    Really glad to see Chromia in there, but maybe a wee bit disappointed the combiner functionality's been removed. The little tease of a full Elita-1 crew combiner snatched away so swiftly.
    Hover wheels! What a brillaint 'yeah, but shhh' to all the people going 'those alt modes aren't very cybertronian, are they'. Wonder if that's just going to be limited to the larger size classes.
    Looks like the Micromaster's are going to just be two packs. I can see a lot of people being sad that they're missing out on half a team, but I don't think it's a bad idea. Micromasters tend twoards hemogony, so giving people fewer of them and cheery picking 'the best' from each team stops people getting bored.
    Lionizer is definitely making me re-consider my 'probabaly skip the Battlemasters' stance. That's an intriguing little figure.
    But Ultra Magnus and Ironhide have totally stolen the show. My god, what magnificent looking figures. I love...well, everything about them.

    That is going to do my pieces.... I can only hope that they appear in later waves...!! The completist in me is getting antsy already :confused:

    Yes, now all I need them to do is Warpath and Pipes and I'll have all the G 1 minibots updated :D 
    Plus MFT Sideswipe looks great.

    Oh, cool! I was always disappointed with the truncated nature of season six. Hope we get to see more of Cad Bane, and perhaps the lead up to Revenge of the Sith. And those storylines they never got to do. Please say Dave Filoni is on board for this!

    Is it just me or do the figures look like they have less gaps in them? Forearms, legs, etc...

    But very happy with the Micromasters. Sports car combined weapon is a bit crap though.

    You can't see me but I'm doing a Vic Reeves trouser rubbing right now! Stolen from Instagram by enlarging & screencapping, if anyone knows a better way hit me up?)
    @barry Where dat Ark pic? I totally missed that!

    Also anyone else also getting angsty about Kapow getting in CP/CP there's an FB reply from the 15th July on a query saying they're not allowed to list him yet. I shall be remaining vigilant this weekend myself though to boot.

    Ooooooh! Along with Grant Morrison's Green Lantern, that's some great non-tf SDCC news!

    Totally in for that Frenzy. Glad you don't need to buy Soundwave to get 'em.

    In haste, and the prospect of wadeing through the sheer mass of posts, here's a shitty version I found from the panel news page.

    It's a lot to take in though, right?
    So am I off my tits? I really loved the TF:A approach to Omega Supreme, the Ark. I'd welcome it leaking into the CHUG stuff.

    Now. Does anyone know of a type of glue that forms transparent globs when it sets and can be easily peeled off and disposed of? Asking for a friend. A friend who's having trouble keeping flame and lightning effects in place and is fed up using blu-tack. Ahem.

    It's possible there will be Bludgeon this line... but probably voyager or deluxe rather than leader.
