Tomorrow's new edition of Previews finally reveals the upcoming Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Huffer! We first became aware of the figure back when Hasbro gave their official Transformers website it's Beast Hunters face lift, which initially used an image of PPC Huffer as a placeholder. As you can see in the image mirrored below he's actually a redeco of Cyberverse Commander Trailcutter. Image courtesy of TFW2005 user shadow panther.

Okay Hasbro, I think we have enough retools of the Ironhide mold now...

And yet we still haven't seen a deluxe class Ironhide from Hasbro. :HEADHURTS:

Actually, Trailcutter was the only (and first) retool of the Cyberverse Ironhide mold. Huffer is just a repaint of that retool.

I agree. I'd love to have seen a deluxe from this. But then a retool of Deluxe Sergeant Kup would be required, and I'm not sure they'd want to go to that expense.

Coloring a truck orange and blue doesn't make it Huffer. This is lame. The Legends-scale OP mold used for RTS OP would make a better Huffer.

I find this hilariously adorable, but overall I don't need it.

How about a Hoist retool instead?

Two words: trademark retention.

i picked up trailbreaker for $7, im just fine with him. Plus theres no way in hell im paying $14 for a commander, $10 is bad enough but $14 is just ridiculous.

Guess the PCC Huffer in Shockwave's Lab was a placeholder.

Pass.

It would be easier to pass this guy off as Beast Hunters Ironhide as his colors are better suited.

Is it me or does it look like Huffer has a new head? If it does great, if not this will be a painful pass for me.

fail

Ok a few thoughts...

1) I like my Ironhide, but I saw Trailcutter/breaker and I was unimpressed. The face on it looks like it came off some dime store robot mold. Only way this will be worthwhile is if it has a new face/head mold.

2) Say what you want about PCC's, but that Huffer kicked ass. I loved it.

3) WHY THE F**k is it $14.99?!?!?!? Last time I checked Deluxes are that price...I am hoping that someone was being stupid that day when they were inputting the info.

Overall, unless this has an awesome headsculpt it's a big pass. Dont get me started on Earthday Prime...smh

It's not earth-shatteringly awesome, but I really don't see why we're getting "fail" and other one word posts. Would it kill people to say what's so bad about this?

I'm not a huge fan of the mold (the arms aren't so great) and already have Trailcutter, but at this point, I may buy this one out of spite.

I would think it is disappointing to those. There was one so-far unaccounted for cyberverse commander and it is revealed to be a repaint. I was disappointed too.

However, I like this mold. I will agree with you on the arms but I think it is clever for its size. I really like the Ironhide because of the posability.

If this actually looks like Huffer (Orange and blue, instead of the Red and blue it appears to be) I will probably pick it up.

Now there is one (?) more Legion class they have not revealed yet. Waiting to see what that is.

The Transformers facebook page gives us an official look at the upcoming Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Commander Wave 4, which features Huffer and a new Optimus Prime deco. Huffer is a straight redeco of the previously released Trailcutter. In addition to his new deco, Optimus Prime also comes with a new shield accessory. Check out the images mirrored below.

Surprisingly, Huffer looks nice.

Still not convinced to get him though. >:oP

Too bad they didn't give Optimus even just a slightly different head, cause I definitely wouldn't consider him Optimus if I got him. I still think that shield is really cool though.
