Hot damn, that's a cartoon-accurate Jetfire. And I guess what was once the 'Leader' class in size is now becoming Commander class but twice as pricy. What a rip off. Not to mention that I was right about Jetfire and no Star Saber.

I was originally going to knee jerk about Impactor because my mental image of the guy draws heavy from the IDW version. However, after a few seconds I realized that this version of the character is rather accurate to his old Marvel UK comics design.

These figures look amazing to me. I absolutely love Skyfire Jetfire. Omega Supreme's robot mode looks fantastic (though something is off about his face), and everything about the base mode looks great except it looks like it is missing 4 sets of track to make it more oval shaped like the G1 version instead of circle shaped.

Can't wait to see all of these in person. Extremely pleased with how Jetfire turned out, especially with how bummed I was about the Generations 2014 version and with the Classics 2006 version.

Maybe we could get another Fracture?

I'm a nurse...maybe you should rephrase that statement

don't worry I meant Fracture as the noun, as in the name of the Crasher-alike character we got in the 07 movie line, redeco'ed from classics Mirage.

@Cary yeah the Dragstrip just didn't work.

This happens every time a mirage figure comes out, but I don't think a pink mirage will ever be in our future due to the rights to the figure being caught up in a huge legal s||tstorm, apparently the movie one brought to light some issues with hasbro that is likely gonna keep them from releasing any other pseudo-fractures; I think jelze can explain it better

[Dannshinigami]

Loving Jetfire and Omega Supreme. Im curious about the deluxe class figs attaching to the jet mode of Jetfire, roll on toy fair so can hopefully see it in action.

[Seibertron]

Is Impactor a retool of someone?

[Lunatic Prime]

Anyone noticing the lack of "battle damage" except for maybe the splash around Impactor's treads?

I think he has some on his shins and maybe the white part of his additional chest armor.

Yeah, he does look like he's gonna be a lot of fun, I can't wait to get him

[chuckdawg1999]

I'm glad we're getting a cartoon accurate Jetfire with some extra armor bits. I read the press release on another site and I think Hasbro Toy Shop is going to be rebranded/merged with Hasbro Pulse.

I was kind of thinking the same thing at first glance, but I can't put a finger on it.

Doesn't look like one. Looks like an original mold.

The face is the one part I don't understand, but it's also hard to make out clearly, I was expecting more of the face we saw in the G1 toon or at a push something akin to Energon. This face though.. Is it a reference to something?

[Inactive_____]

My wallet always sweats when it's toy reveal time, so it can rest a little bit easier knowing I'm gonna sit these guys out.

That being said, my God that Omega Supreme is a thing of beauty. Way out of my current budget and size restriction, but still damn impressive nonetheless.

Impactor is probably my favourite, mainly for his suitably chunky robot and alt modes, and his always lovely colour scheme. Plus the chipped and scarred look of Siege will suit him down to the ground. This is, IMO, the best Impactor to date. Not to the point of setting my world on fire, but I'm super happy he exists for those who wasn't him.
That Mirage is a bit meh though

So now that we have a baseline size and price, anyone have any guesses at whom else can fill out this new size class? Mine is Tidalwave

The new size class is the Jetfire figure. Commander class right?

Yeah, I think he's saying who else could be in that class. Tidal Wave would definitely be my top pick! They could do an update of the Cybertron giant guys like Metroplex, but it probably wouldn't be that much different in size than the leader that exists right now, considering how the leaders have downsized so much. Maybe a new Unicron or Primus? I don't know why those guys wouldn't be titan, except that there's no reason they have to be either since they'll never scale with anything.

My money's on Scorponok. A city size is too big for him, especially if they retain the Head/Titanmaster gimmick.

I saaw that bit about buying on hasbro pulse, might explain why HTS has been in 1993 under construction mode for so long.

What about Fortress Maximus?

I doubt its scorpy as there is some work completed on a titan class version of him (he was among Trypticon and Omega in the third fan poll, and given the turnaround, design work would have been completed on all three of them to some degree) and he would need to scale against his rival, Fort Max

What about him? He was a piece of garbage;

Personally, I wouldn't mind getting a more manageable size class for the big guys, but I'd rather an updated energon scorponok, he was so much cooler

[Cyberpath]

CHUG is now almost a smaller scale Masterpiece with greeble.

I can't keep up with both lines. But all that beautiful cartoon-accuracy....

I almost wish CHUG had stopped doing "G1"--! Time to enjoy some of this stuff vicariously. (I already have with a bunch of stuff.)

Skipping characters I have or likely to have as MP. (Except for Prime, Megatron and Magnus.) So Mirage is a "no" for me.

Skyfire possibly. And Omega... hmmm.. these huge Titan-Class toys usually end up on sale, right?

If I get Skyfire I will probably "need" that Cybertron style Starscream to go with him.

It's going to be what's left of Rocket after Endgame

[Wolfman Jake]

WOW! I am in awe! Omega Supreme is pretty much everything we could have asked for, plus Micromaster Countdown. Looks like he's going to be BIG too, standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of T30 Metroplex and TR Fortress Maximus at two feet. He'll dwarf CW/UW Devastator by a half a foot!

Jetfire is perfectly perfect in every way! The robot mode is a superb recreation of the G1 cartoon model. All of his paint apps are screen accurate. The alt mode is very akin to the cartoon model. Plus, you get plenty of "Weaponizer" bits to customize him to look like the G1 toy if that's your preference. Anyone interested in a used T30 Jetfire?

Mirage is gorgeous! I loved the Classics 2006 mold, but this has the right proportions again, and his chest and head look cartoon perfect! Slowly, but surely, my pre T30 figures are falling by the wayside in my collection.

Impactor looks very nice too. The only thing I find funky is the hollow lower legs showing from the insides. I think that's maybe why he looks like a retool to some. We've seen that transformation scheme before in Combiner Wars.

I will be getting ALL of these. I just wish I didn't have to wait over half a year for these to hit retail. SIEGE has been amazing so far, and the gifts just keep on giving. Here's hoping Wave 2 hits saturation soon to help tide us over until these figures are available.

I know I say this a lot, but between SIEGE and the Studio Series, NOW is a wonderful time to be a Transformers fan!

[Jeddostotle7]

Oh.

My.

God.


These all look absolutely beautiful. I can't wait.

[Lunatic Prime]

Could the add-on pieces on his forearms be the same as Shockwave's?
Maybe all of those pieces can be used as power ups by other figures.

[Inactive_____]

Is Impactor a retool of someone?

I got that feeling too. Maybe TR Hardhead? I don't know, something about the arms and chest put him in mind. Then again, I could be way off base. I don't have the best eye for these things
