After being bored to death by Robot In Disguise and being completely disappointed by Combiner Wars, I stopped watching TF shows entirely.

Looking at the screenshot above, Clobber definitely have female features in her design. Too bad the toy don't reproduce that at 100%.

Humans reaction to giant robots is pretty realistic in season 2 and they seem to be going out of the way to not put humans in it for the most part. Episode run times are fairly short and season 1/2 have a slightly different take to each other keeping it fresher. Season 2 episode 7 Parley is my fave so far since Prime series. Glad the toys are getting better to give the show its dues with it kind of feeling like animated in it's content.

Got this from vector sigma facebook page. Seems we don't need to wait that long for articulated deluxe hot rod. And grimlock also looks promising. And for the first time, we get an official rack n ruin toy.

Wait. Does that mean there will be PROPER DELUXES coming soon? I mean, Generations-like?

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Bacem we've learned that Vector Sigma on Facebook has posted a new image of upcoming Cyberverse products and among them is what appears to be an Ultra class Rack'N'Ruin figure! Long time fans of the franchise will no doubt smile at this news as this is one of the most unique and interesting Transformers ever created who's never had a figure. The listing also shows an interesting new Grimlock and another figure fans have been hoping for more of in this line, Hot Rod. We have no official confirmation yet as the listing is generic with no information on pricing or release but we'll keep you posted as news comes to light. Share your thoughts in the forum and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Oh, the extreme irony of Japan renaming the Deluxes as "Action Masters".

[william-james88]

Wow, great news, thanks Stargrave. While the rackn ruin news is nice, I am also excited about that grimlock!

[ZeroWolf]

So we know now 6 of the proposed Deluxes, how many is left to reveal? Was it a total of 12 pieces for the BAF?

8 pieces to build Maccadam.

Thanks Sabrblade! So that means two Deluxes left to learn the identity of

Starscream has a toy in every size class or close to it, so that'd be my guess for one of them. Hoping the other would be someone like Shadow Striker, that'd be really cool.

I know Warden said that (I reported it), but he is not in charge of that line. Maccadam has 10 pieces total. Now if that means some will come with 2, who knows, but he might have been mistaken. Then again, he presented the first wave with 4 deluxes in hand so it might be 8 too. Just to say I am not entirely sure.

Yes, we already knew about that from NYCC.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

"Action Master" for the Deluxe Class? "Weapon Trigger" for the new Ultra and Ultimate Classes?

Ok...

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Rack'n'Ruin!! Yes!! Even if it is just a simple toy, this is awesome news!

And if you browse through seibertron nycc 2019 cyberverse gallery, you will find the first 4 (5 if you count maccadams) on display, closer details.

Looks decent, might possibly bite for it. Would certainly be an interesting addition to the shelves.

[Bumblevivisector]

Over a decade ago, I barely started a Rack'n'Ruin custom that would've involved connecting two Topspins together with Cybertron Red Alert arms. It never got further than attaching the former's fists and latter's head to a Deluxe BM Jetstorm to make my HMW team leader Storm Front, while the rest lies disassembled in my basement.

But now I can just buy an extra of this guy(s) and give one more G1 heads and arms!

Still say they should bring back Star Wars Crossovers and have them turn into a green Bespin cloud car though, since they were originally separate minijets according to The Facts, or something.

Though this design would also be good to redeco into Sticks'n'Stones for a Rock Lords crossover! Because NO ONE demanded it!

For reference, here's what Rack'n'Ruin looks like in the show:

yeah its a far cry from the look they had in Target 2006
maybe that can be for the war for cybertron trilogy

Has R+R ever been known to have an alt mode? I want to say this turning into a tank is the first time for that as well but I don't think I'm savvy to all versions of him in every continuity.

Transformers: The Facts declared the original altmodes of Marvel UK Rack'n'Ruin, prior to the operation that joined them together, to have been Cybertronian mini-jets.

[Stargrave]

Before I sent that in my head I yelled Summon the Sabrblade! Thank you sir, as always.

[partholon]
