Hey guys, in case people want some illustrations to go with the awesome commentary, here is that lion:

But the center of the image was kind of just faded out. Again, like a placeholder for a later image. Like they painted the background, and made the area where the body would go lighter. Really hard to describe. But definitely seemed to indicate a Siren body is coming.

But I thought Loudmouth is already Siren or at least just his head.

LOL, it was. I miss it! A few years back I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Long story short it needed a lot of work done to it, and I just couldn't do it anymore. So I sold it to Ryan William Buchanon in Canada who runs 'Transformer Cars'. He fixed Prowl up and got it running again. (I live in rural Ohio, and the mechanics here refused to work on it.) He takes it to TFCon and such now. I get to see little kids getting their pics taken with Prowl now, so that helps me miss it a little less.

But just a little, lol.

One of the rumors is that all the heads we get Will have bodies to go with them

This gives me hope. Since Apeface was releaved earlier this year in Nuremberg as just a head. If there is a body being made for Loudmouth then there is hope that there is a body for Apeface and Snapdragon. Making a whole class of triplechanging headmasters and NOT releasing those two would be some epic trolling.

That is both weird and awesome at the same time.

Anyway, :DANCE:

But then with which Headmasters will those come? Or will they be just bodies? :-?

Right, the same head we've seen, but a big blank-ish area in the middle for a body to go. My friend kept saying something about Hot Rod and Nightbeat, making me think Hot Rod will get retooled into Nightbeat, who in turn will become Siren. But it was hard to follow. He was kind of going a mile a minute. I'd have like three questions for him, and only get one out before he was giving me more info, that would leave me with another three or four questions. It was great, but overwhelming. It went faster than I could process.

Glad it exsists in the world. And hope you're on the mend.
Welcome to Seibertron, and thanks for the hot news! ;)^

Alternate head designs of the same characters.

Very interesting, I think the alpha trio uniwolion thing will be settled when we see the complete toy (not art) or the back of his box...unless it cops out and just says beast mode...

When you take a step back you can see a lot of beasts in this line...gives me pause for thought about the third line.

In one sense I wish all of these to be wrong in some way, just so what we get is a surprise. But either way it's a good time to be a fan.

Full-body Nightbeat? Man, this day is getting better every second! Next time you see this friend, ask him if Nightbeat has his sunglasses. If he does, then words could not describe the excitement I would feel.

They mentioned the reasons for their lack of celebrating Beast Wars at Toy Fair.

John Warden did say that he sees Beast Wars as beinga 4 year run anf thus its spirit could be honoured within the next 4 years. And to be fair, they did give us Rhinox, Rattrap, Waspinator and Tankor in 2014. I would rather get updates whenever Hasbro feels like giving them to us than have to wait for anniversaries.

Tue Feb 23, 2016 5:34 pm

Of all these listed why is it that Gnaw is the only one I'm all that excited for?

Plus what are the odds that Skullsmasher's mold could be an Alicon?

News Credits: 19 · Tue Feb 23, 2016 5:37 pm

man i hope they do go through with a Tidal Wave & Broadside

oh & Chainclaw.....Welcome to Seibertron, ;)^

your definitely onto something big here man! & got both Seibertron & The Allspark websites abuzz with talk.

But you have to admit, it would be great to get even more on an anniversary year ;-)

especially since g1 gets updates every year regardless. It's nice that other tf lines can get a look in

The art of Gnaw was very nice. He seemed very spherical. Bright green eyes. Etc.

Well I'm excited for beast modes no matter where or when, so ... Release the BEAST! :MAXIMAL:

Tue Feb 23, 2016 5:41 pm

There was also art of three characters fighting. I think it was Windblade vs. Sentinel Prime (the orange Astrotrain). I can't remember now who the third character was. Nothing new, someone we've been seeing already.

It was Brainstorm

...oh, and Brawn. I totally forgot about Brawn until just now. He was just shown from the chest up, but looked very Sunbow. Not like the G1 toy.
