Canadian shoppers on Amazon.ca have noticed two brand new listings for upcoming Siege: War for Cybertron toys coming down the road. The first seems like it might belong to Omega Supreme, the only known Titan Class figure of the line, although it remains nameless only carried with the class title. The toy can be preordered right now at $249.99 CAD.

There is also a strange listing for a 'Commander Class' figure which seems to be outside what's known for upcoming releases. No name is, once again, given so it can be anything, but the price is $119.99 CAD. What do you think it is? Excited for some brand new figures? Let us know.

We thank TFanPage101 for helping us with the news and write up.

Commander class, hmmm... and it's a much higher price point than I expected :-?

This is mind boggling, and it HAS to be someone big.

That Omega Supreme tho... :POPCORN:

Hmm. As much as I want that Commander class to be a new, more correctly scaled Broadside O doubt that is it. Hmm. Well, with the class being called commander, and the figure being at a price point roughly similar to the combiner boxsets frow CW, maybe it's a new Star Saber?

Thunderwing? Dezarus? Victory Leo?? Tidal Wave???

The mind boggles as to what this 'new' size class could refer to :POPCORN:

I have a bad feeling about this.

Like it's going to be some light and sounds version of Siege Megatron with a simplified transformation but huge, like the Beast Hunters Optimus Prime.

Hoping for the best like an update to Star Saber or a combiner, prepared for the worst. It'll probably be somewhere in between.

It's a new, non-standard, Size Class, but a silly question maybe you Canadians can answer: which two does it fit between?

As for what it could be, keep in mind Commander was used two times before:

- PCC, which was the 2-pack with a main figure and a Mini-Con
- Cyberverse, which was the larger of the two sizes, the smaller being Legion.

It could very well be larger figure with Micromasters, that's my prediction.

Quick check and Leader class is $70-ish in Canada so these are an extra $50 over that, the same price as MPM-7 Bumblebee on TRU.ca and half the price of a Titan. I'm guessing these would be closer to $80 USD which is a rather high price point at retail so I imagine they're going to use it for something fans really want and they can build heavily on like Star Saber.

This is Siege, the all-ages that stripped pointless figure gimmicks, they wouldn't do something like this in this line. At worst it could be a Micromaster playset of some sort, but I don't think they've built up Micromasters enough to warrant their own playset (plus we already have Omega Supreme coming for that). Though I wouldn't rule out a figure with a base like Thunderclash that could easily be repainted into Optimus Prime later.

Wasn't a new Monstructor rumoured some time ago?

Based on only that Wildfly head on PotP Cutthroat.

Only because we had some evidence of parts existing on on PotP molds, not because of leaked listings or anything. And the price is much lower than existing combiner box sets so we can rule that out right off.

Ohhh, I thought the rumour was based on more than that

A Pretender Gestalt would work well with the SIEGE gimmick and given the size of the Original Monstructor, it could fit "Commander Class" quite nicely.

Oh well. Fingers crossed for Thunderwing or Dezarus.

Air Commander Starscream from PotP repackaged with four copies of the UW Starscream recolored as generic Decepticon air warriors.

Hm... Probably wishful thinking, but what if it's a voyager Weaponizer like Overload, and a bunch of effect parts and a Micromaster? Though, $80 is too much for that...

You could be on to something there! What if it’s Countdown’s base? Parts could be used to weaponize or firm an alt mode?

Alternatively what if it’s a weaponized “leader” (like PotP sized). Versus the weaponized voyagers we currently have as leaders?

Armada Overload could be interesting a micromaster “hauler” and the trailer could be a larger robot or weapon parts. Like a super Cog

Downsized devestator? Repacked Unicron or a unicron sized scorponok. Could just be something out of scale like *reflector but doubt it. A giant insecticon base thing or dezauras. So many possibilities (and most likely a giant oversize bumblebee :p)

Two other characters that would make sense given the physical scale of the line: Skyfire (with UA and weapons) or Sky Lynx.

A new Skylynx would be interesting. Skyfire may not work because he's trapped in the (ant)arctic?

I am 100% certain continuity to the G1 cartoon to that level doesnt matter.
Sky lynx makes sense. It sounds ridiculously expensive for Jetfire, isnt he just leader sized?

I'm surprised that no one has brought up the $249.99 CAN price tag for Omega Supreme yet. That's about $189.99 USD, making Omega Supreme the most expensive yet that a mainline release Titan Class figure has retailed for in Hasbro's markets. Is this a cost adjustment similar to the increase in price of Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures, or will Omega Supreme be offering just a bit more value than the likes of the Cityformers or the larger Decepticon combiners?

I would read into that much yet since canadian mark up is often more than the actual exchange rate. plus, amazon tends to overprice early listings.

Until we actually know the US MSRP, I think we shouldnt assume that it will be a higher price point.

Perhaps he may not feature any stickers and Hasbro is trying to use that to justify a higher price? As much as I love the Titan Class figures and try to defend Hasbro in terms of price to size to quality, even I have to admit the titans so far haven't been worth more than $100. UW Devastator is one of the few I can justify as being worth more, only because it actually improves on figures and delivers a solid build. Whether or not Omega will live up to his counterpart however is a different question

The more I look at the Omega Tank... do you think that will have a deluxe/voyager robot mode? Something there suspiciously looks like a shoulder and fore arm joint in the rear treads....

As for the stickers... That was the main reason I went for the SDCC Fortress Maximus, and was sad Trypitcon didn't get an SDCC release... those stickers are a pain in the butt....

that's a good point about continuity there. As far as size goes... if Skyfire retains his "size"/ability to store "autobots" he could be fudged a bit larger. I thought in Fire on the Mountain he kinda loomed over everyone, even Megs.

Alternatively another interesting cut could be decepticon scientist Jetfire, as a tetra jet.

I doubt it as they already have tetra jets in the shape of Starscream and Skywarp (I recall him being revealed as an exclusive possibly) plus he was never a tetra jet in the first place as he never scanned an earth alt if I remember correctly.
