Upcoming 2016 Transformers Alt Modes Official Product Images

It doesn't look like the bodies "transform" into alt mode so much as simply exchange with each other inside the head. I'm guessing each head opens on the pins in the crown and the modes swing around on the hinge in the neck.

I'm curious as to what the hook on the side of each neck is for; presumably a launcher of some kind?

Was wondering what these were, there was a tiny image of their case box in the Investor Day presentation this week. Remind me a lot of the Dark of the Moon Burger King kids meal toys, just smaller and with a vehicle mode sticking out the bottom.

I was going say the same thing about how the modes probably just swap inside their heads.

My thoughts:


like the silly bot

very weird big head alt mode

head symbol, puzzled

I don't hate them aesthetically (they're not great, but they're not horrible either), but it's got no appeal for me since I don't have any real attachment to G1.

I can't help but think the Beast Machines Vehicons would have worked in this style, especially Tankor and Thrust.

If I buy these new toys in a store, will they be coming with a free coupon for a burger, fries, and a drink? Cause the last time I bought this kind of toy, I got a meal to go along with it.

I was very please to buy the large headed fast food toys - but that was because when I bought them they cost me 20p each at a Carboot sale.

I can't same the same idea is anywhere near as a appealing when a retail price is involved.

Fellow Seibertronians, following the official images shown here, we have an update to the Generations Alt-Modes Blind Packs Gallery from the display at Botcon. The updated gallery can be found here, so check them out and let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

These guys looked pretty neat and fun. I may pick one up, but I'm about as tired of blind boxes as I am of rogue-types. I rarely win the RNG game

UMagnus Alt.Mode shall be mine! The figure looks awesome! The only downside, the Bot/Con insignia doesn't appear to be removable from the head.

As a stand-alone product these still look sooooo weird. If they were special pieces for a board game or had some sort of tie-in with a mobile app they might make more sense.
