Wait so Blackout is better than Skyhammer?

If by "better" you mean "better at being fiddly and better at not holding together very well in robot mode", then yes.

Alpha Bravo takes tough love, too. A begrudging buy is a purchase nonetheless. :saint:

Alpha Bravo is Primus' chosen son.

Blackout is NOT better than Skyhammer.

From my post to Unicron's audio receptors.

To be fair at least alpha Bravo isn't a repaint of someone else on the same team

I mean what's wrong having someone new in a team?

Totally stealing this info from elsewhere, but apparently Leader Magnus has an IDW look. Awesomeness.

Also, Cyclonus combined mode has Galvatron's head.

Interesting, wonder if it will have any baring on the fiction. Like Galvatron taking control of cyclonus.

Oh and IDW ultra magnus? Awesome

I know allot of people still love city commander, but leader ultra Magnus, looks damn amazing provided a hard core Milne Roche hard on. Its no where as good as say mp Magnus but im damn Skippy it's a better neo classic ultra magnus than city commander.

News Credits: 118 · by **megatronus** » Sat Feb 14, 2015 3:21 pm

Don't forget TAV Magnus, which is a dark blue redeco of the voyager Prime Magnus.

Year of the Goat? This is Year of the MAGNUS.

Thanks for the Megatron pix, Prjkt and Gema! Wish they had made the figure in the same size as MP-10, seems like a missed opportunity.

I kinda hate the barrel sticking out of the Fusion Cannon. Wonder why they didn't make it contract all the way in.

Really like the likeness of the new Constructicons to their cartoon counterparts.

And interesting how many "full-transformation" Ultra Magnus figures have popped up lately, after years of white Convoys.. there's the 3P Citizen Stack, Takara's MP-22, and now this new one.

Hyped up from the earlier Hasbro brand summary? Look no further: Seibertron.com war-time journalists Seibertron and ScottyP are on the front lines to bring you our first look at the new combatants to the Combiner Wars... the Protectobots and their combined form Defensor and Leader Ultra Magnus!

First up, give it up for the Protectobots! The ranks of the Protectobots include their leader, Hot Spot, and his subordinates Blades (retool and redeco of the existing Alpha Bravo mold), First Aid (who is rather jeep-ish), Rook (who transforms into a APC-like SWAT vehicle), Streetwise (sporty-looking police car), and Groove, who is now confirmed to be Legends-sized and also pulls double duty as forming armor to Defensor ala Generations: Combiner Wars Menasor.

Fans of the IDW-verse rejoice as they gaze upon Ultra Magnus... who not only rocks an IDW-themed look, but also includes his actual self, Minimus Ambus, who is capable of fitting inside the big UM and transforming into a Cybertronian vehicle. Also worth noting, as demonstrated in the last image, his shoulder-mounted rockets and rifles are capable of combining into a giant hammer, made iconic by the Animated version of the character!

Keep your optics tuned to us here at Seibertron.com: we expect to get official images of all of these figures sometime tonight!

***UPDATE***
We also have new images of Voyager Cyclonus, who forms the torso of the gestalt called "Galvatronus" whose head is based on (you guessed it) Galvatron (no images yet... stay tuned!), and Legends Warpath and Viper, the latter of which is an homage to a GI Joe vehicle, the Cobra-affiliated Rattler.
