If one doesn't take the proper measures when their breaking rules of their workplace then it's only fair if they face the consequences.

Yep. I'm pretty surprised at how many people send around leaked images to their friends. You'd think they'd care about their job enough to not send pictures that could get traced back to them.

Rattrap looks great but are the core figures a new size class 9r are they still deluxes and does anyone know what pricepoint he's going to be?

I do like that the rat head folds in nicely but the lack of poseability on the mouse front legs is disappointing.

They’re essentially the new Legends class, and will be replacing the Micromasters in Kingdom at the $10.

Thanks to several Seibertronians for sending in the latest news. The Factbook page Vector Sigma have posted what appears to be Deluxe Class figures from the upcoming WFC Kingdom line, specifically of Beast Wars fan favorite characters Blackarachnia and Cheetor, as well as what appears to be a heavily mistransformed Warpath in a very G1 cartoon style, next to a coalition of Cheetors.









These images appeared on 4Chan, where the Vector Sigma page found them. While they appear to be legitimate, Hasbro and Takara have yet to officially reveal any figures from Kingdom, so take this rumor with a grain of salt.

What think ye of these potential figures, fellow Seibertronians? Let us know below, and speculate away on what might be leaked next.

Cheetor looks really good, do not know why people are saying it doesn't look great, BA looks amazing too, rattrap looks really good, but I detest tat style of shoulder joint, so, I'll be skipping him

they look good, and i look forward to getting them, but why does Cheetor have his Transmetal weapon? Shouldn't he have his gutgun?

If core figures are replacing the battlemasters then that is a lot of poseability for a small figure approximately 70% of a deluxe figure

Kind feel like a sucker for buying the MP Blackarachnia now...This one look great. Cheetor too

These look really promising. Really excited to see what Warpath does since the generations figure is still one of my all time favorite deluxes.

Also, you staff might want to keep an eye on this thread. Parts of 4chan and tfw have been exploding since these were leaked.

Additionally looks like the $5-$6 price Point *Masters* are going away entirely, which is a shame. Although I'm not surprised, Walmart stopped carrying them altogether, and Pulse doesn't have them on their website either (except for very minor PotP stock leftover from the old site). Maybe Hasbro just saw them as not enough profit for the investment?

I guess the Fossilizers at both Core(Legends) and Deluxe class will have to hold me over. Hopefully they have some cool play patterns, because right now I don't plan on really picking up any individual character from this line except maybe Slammer if he is a Weaponizer. Also Hopefully the CC & Titan once they are revealed.

Cheetor looks pretty good, I like that look!

I came to that conclusion as well after scouring my usual sources.
A shame too, I really wanted to see that Warpath.
At this rate though, It's probably only a matter of time until someone leaks them, So there's that.

Haha, you got what you wanted 2 posts down

Cheetors shoulders stick out a bit too much giving him a T esque frame, not sure on his hands being blocky at the sides and his lower leg shape -plus it's a shame he no longer has his brain gun. I might end up preffering Universe Cheetor.

If Blackarachnia is a deluxe, hope they change color or paint the spider legs.

Say did any other pictures of that Cyclonus turn up? Or was it just the vehicle mode?

Regarding these new leaks, I'm on board with everything here. BA looks fantastic as does Cheetor. Warpath is looking good as well, just need to see him a bit closer.

It's the same comparison as people saying they,d be suckers for buying the latest MP Prime when the Siege and Earthrise figures exist. I bought Blackarachnia and I don't mind that this one exists. As someone pointed out above, this one is severely lacking in paint apps, and some colours are all wrong. That would of course be terrible on an MP, but on a toy of this budget, it's all good. Different toys for different collections.

Do you mean you'll be posting here if you see more new stuff?

ZeroWolf wrote:Say did any other pictures of that Cyclonus turn up? Or was it just the vehicle mode?

We got one shot each of his bot mode and alt mode when he initially leaked, but that was it. Also, looking back at that, I expect his coloration will be at least slightly different on the actual release version, since I doubt he'll have a purple face (although I think everyone is in agreement on that) and the Thrust in that leak with him had the clear cockpit that got changed to orange on the other Coneheads (and I can't imagine Thrust isn't going to match, so they must both be early samples).

The longer I look at Cheetor, the more he makes me wonder how Tigatron's gonna look. Their only bot mode differences in the show were their heads and the angle of their cat face chest, but their respective cat modes had different proportions, so I'm curious to see how different that Voyager will turn out, since surely those differening proportions will affect his bot mode appearance at least slightly. Also, since Tigatron never had the Transmetal tail axe (not in the show, anyway), he'll have to come with at least one of his guns, right?

Looking forward to seeing more beast war toys

Well, since Tigatron's going to be Voyager which means a new mold is required, I'd expect that he'll come with the tail and gut blasters rather than the tail club/scythe/axe

I haven't been keeping up with SS announcements since I'm not into them, but so far is there any of the same character planned for the 86 Studio Series & Kingdom? If so I just think that's poor planning IMHO.

No, SS sounds like it will just be the overflow for the slots in Kingdom going to beasts that would otherwise go to G1 guys. No repeats

Whoops, double post

Not OP, but from the sounds of things there's been a bit of a fallout on TFW and 4Chan. Long story short (from my understanding) a few people had these images and were keeping them from the public while detailing what was in the pictures to protect the source and then someone with access to them got mad and posted on 4Chan with the images.

I haven't been following it too closely, this is just what I've gathered scanning through the thread. I think they're just warning things could go awry here regarding the images
