I'm still gonna love him. I want the 13 primes, even if I have to use RotF The Fallen or another RiD Megatronus!

Looks like I'll finally get some Sweeps to go along with my Generations Scourge. Chromedome head looks cool...hopefully he will be one that gets a body to go along with it. I need to see clearer pictures of Mindwipe. Fun stuff though, no less.

That has NEVER been confirmed. We had staff on hand at the reveal in New York and they didnt see these as being that much bigger. I wouldnt expect these to be taller than the movie bumblebee deluxe toys (not counting battle blade).

If we get a Voyager Megatronus/The Fallen that looks like this then YES.





Do we know if Alpha Trion will be a Voyager or Leader?

I have to admit I was hoping for a Voyager Scourge to go with the CW Cyclonus and TR Galvatron. That was the only reason I bought Cyclonus, for a scale set - I like the Deluxe RtS version a lot better.

He's a voyager. Hasbro said that all voyagers under TR would be triple changers and all leaders would have base modes.

Alpha trion is supposed to be a voyager, can't wait for better pictures

EDIT: ninja'd by will

If you're in a rush Titanium Fallen is decent. Otherwise I'm sure there'll be another official interpretation one day.

I second that. He also has a perfect deco!

Thanks WJ, nice try Zero Wolf

I imagined the Titanium Series Fallen fig would be pretty pricey by now.

Curse you D-Max! And Gauntlet you aren't helping, I'm supposed to be saving!

So, it'll be interesting to see A3 as a fuzzy spaceship, wonder how well it'll be pulled off

So, to look over what we know so far with this new stuff:

Wave 1:

Leader class: Blaster, Optimus
Voyager class: Galvatron, Sentinel Prime
Deluxe class: Hardhead, Skullcruncher, Scourge, Blurr
Legends class: Rewind, Stripes, Laserbeak
Titan Masters: Siren, Nightbeat, Squeezeplay, Horri-bull

Wave 2:

Leader class: Soundwave
Voyager class: Alpha Trion, Astrotrain (not confirmed, but, come on)
Deluxe class: Mindwipe, Chromedome(unless chromedome is just a head), Brainstorm
Legends class: ?
Titan Masters: ?

Isn't rewind supposed to be included with blaster?

(I mean, I hope it isn't, I want that little guy, but I thought I remember reading that)

I think he's not far from being the same price he was when originally released plus inflation. That line isnt collected much, so I am sure you could get one for a decent price. I got mine for at most 20$ I think.

He doesnt come with Blaster, he is an individual release like every other legends class toy.

Oh, great

Blaster seems to just have his Titan Master, Twin Cast and this black tape thing that doubles as a weapon pod/rack thing in base-mode and it looks to have a seat for Twin Cast built into it.





Soundwave has the same thing and you can see Sound Blaster sitting in it.

Hmm they look so much bigger though. They do not look like the tiny guys.

I am not just talking about the height but also the heft.

When you look at Hardhead compaired to Windblade in the background, he sure does look like more plastic, and he kinda looks like an undersized voyager.

It's like they put the quality of transformation and overall proportions of a voyager into a deluxe sized package.

I wouldn't really use words like 'heft' around these figures - they're so hollow, they might fall over if you enunciate your 'f's' too hard

The vehicle mode for Hardhead pictured there looks about the size of Gen Roadbuster. The vehicle seems to be hefty for a current deluxe, despite the hollowness.

Not at all. Everyone will agree that what they seem to do is replicate G1 transformation for these deluxes, which is very basic. Nothing wrong with it of course, but these are not complex figures. These are deluxes through and through. And Windblade only looks smaller becuause:
1- she is in the background
2- she is not on a stand, unlike Hardhead is

The fact that he is a headmaster may make him cost more than a deluxe, but do not be fooled, these are deluxes.

Plus the fact that nearly any deluxe would look big compared to windblade

Brainstorm didn't cost more than any other voyager because he was a headmaster. I don't see these guys retailing for more than the cw figures.
