I agree. It would be awesome to have detailed pics to compare the products in the line. I'm still a little hesitant to start collecting these because I've heard mixed reviews...

Any chance of galleries for the recent Masterpieces Sideswipe,Red Alert, Soundwave and his minions?

I've been noticing a lack of new galleries in the last couple of months. I hope everything is alright with Ryan? I know he had some 'finger fatigue'... Is that still an issue? Or is real life getting in the way?

How about Henkei Cliffjumper.

The G1 Technobots/Computron and Terrorcons/Abominus will be featured soon now that the Terrorcons all got an update thanks to Beast Hunters.

Trypticon, Metroplex, Metrotitan and Gigastorm are on the short list thanks to Generations Metroplex.

FOC Bruticus, FOC G2 Bruticus and Takara Tomy's FOC Bruticus will all get a gallery when Ruination comes out.

The G1 Protectobots probably won't make the cut this year but we'll see. Defensor is my favorite G1 Gestalt alongside Menasor so I don't expect him to be too far down the road. Just need some major motivation to do his gallery (as in a proper Generations style Defensor).

It's been a while since we've teased some upcoming galleries. Next week will bring Seibertron.com galleries of some new and old figures. If I'm doing my math correctly, there will be 18 galleries comprised of 4 sets from 2 different series. 12 of the galleries will be toys that are long overdue for galleries. 5 of them are recently released toys, most likely not on stores shelves or that are just showing up. Can you figure out what galleries will be here next week on Seibertron.com? Share your thoughts and theories here in this topic! The first person to guess the set of 18 galleries that I'm working on tomorrow will get a lifetime of Energon GoodiesTM from Seibertron.com's Energon Pub(R).

Well that sounds incredibly exciting! I always look forward to your galleries!

A gallery of Generations Sandstorm was posted earlier today. Generations Legends Starscream with Waspinator and Megatron with Chop Shop will be posted later today. Which galleries should I work on next after that, everyone?

Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime
Generations Wreckers/Ruination
BotCon 2013 figures

First should be the Wreckers, since they've been long overdue. BotCon should be next, followed by Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus.

BotCon 2013 gets my vote. I wanna see all the Machine Wars figures together.

Yes indeed! Photographed, just haven't had the time to crop the photos and add them to the galleries yet.

News Credits: 3600 · by **Seibertron** » Tue Aug 06, 2013 12:54 pm

52 new figures for the galleries which require 91 Transformers to be transformed (excluding Microns). During the past 3.5 days, many of these toys were photographed in package, removed from their packages, transformed into vehicle mode, stickers applied to at least 13 Arms Micron Transformers, built approximately 19 Microns, etc. Now it's finally time to get to the fun stuff and photograph all of them to share with all of you on Seibertron.com!

Also, not sure if I should ask this now or when their galleries go up, but how do you enjoy the members of the Swordbot Samurai Team? I've seen these get a lot of flak, but I think Peaugh put it best when he described them as "fun but flawed."

Also also, did you manage to do the fix to Jinbu's legs?

I'm not a big fan of any of the Microns from Arms Micron really. They're OK, but it's not my thing. I'm just going through the motions on them. If it wasn't for Seibertron.com, I wouldn't have bought any of the Arms Micron figures other than the ones that didn't see a Hasbro release.

I have not fixed Jinbu's legs or Gaia Unicron's legs yet. The fix for Jinbu seems much easier than the fix for Unicron. I'll probably do those when I go to do their robot mode pics because from what I understand the flaws don't affect their alt modes at all.

And I've just entered an alternate dimension apparently. :oops:

I thought you were asking about one of the Arms Micron teams.

I'm not a big fan of the Go! Samurai team either. They look like they're from another toy line to be honest. Definitely give me a Brave feel or something along those lines. They're OK, I guess, I'm sure we'll see them stateside at some point.

According to an interview Vangelus did with Clint Chapman at BotCon, the Go!-original molds aren't coming over. :-|

I'd take that with a grain of salt since Hasbro hasn't announced their post-Beast Hunters plans yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Go! was brought over here, especially since the Beast Hunters toy line seems to be continuing well past the end of the cartoon which is rather odd. Usually at this point, it's just Hasbro knocking out repaints and such but we seem to be getting a lot of new molds still through the first quarter of next year which is odd without a cartoon backing it up. Also seems like that'd be the easy route since TF4 comes out next year. Time will tell.
