At first I didn't like that Ratchet was a straight redeco, but I'm kinda warming up to it. I still think the chest doesn't look right, but whatever.

He's more than a simple headswap, he's a reshelling of Ironhide:





It's kinda hard to see with the white, but the shoulders, hands, waist and leg panels are different. Crosshairs is the straight redeco here... minus the head

Also, didn't we get an acceptable Gears and Swerve from Generations?

I'd say so. Don't forget Cosmos!

New head, shoulders, crotch, front legs.

I'd still like to see some of the more unique Bots that had only Earth Modes get a Cybertronian altmode. A Conehead Tetra jet variant. New and unique designs for Octane/Blitzwing/Astrotrain/Sandstorm.

They already did those last two. They were called Titans Return Astrotrain and Thrilling 30 Sandstorm.

Irrelevant to SIEGE. Especially in light of the recent SIEGE Springer. The idea is to give these bots Cybertronian altmodes, something those I mentioned have never had before.

TR Astrotrain is pure cybertronian to be fair... And sandstorm doesn't look very earthy either. The rest you can have

Sandstorm is an osprey and a dune buggy. That's not very Cybertronian. TR Astrotrain was halfway there. As the train didn't look Earth based. The space shuttle mode still was though.

Just located over at Snakasblog is an image of the new packaging art for War For Cybertron Siege Ratchet! We reported on Ratchet's robot mode reveal all the way back in June here along with Bluestreak. The current estimated arrival date is for the Christmas holiday season and he will be exclusive to Walgreens and also EB games in Canada.

No word yet on an exchangeable set of Pharma hands but he does appear to come with a weapon very similar to his G1 incarnation. Will you be picking up this current version of the most iconic of all Transformer medics?

As always enjoy the images and share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forum, and stay tuned to Seibertron for the latest in Transformers news!

WHAT??? Exlusive?? will be really hard to finding and get here in Italy

1) Ospreys have rotors, not futuristic turbines.

2) TR Astrotrain's shuttle mode looks nothing like a terrestrial space shuttle, while WFC Astrotrain's shuttle mode is much closer to
Earth style.

[Skritz]

EB Games, eh? Oh well at least I might have a chance to get Ratchet at least.

[TF-fan kev777]

New head, shoulders, crotch, front legs.

That doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as easy as head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes) does...

But I'm singing it anyway.

THANK YOU.
And T30 Sandstorm's dune buggy one doesn't look Earthly either, so...

Swerve, maybe. Gears and that stupid tiny tiny head? NO.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Personally, I think Gears got a great mold, and I am not bothered to replace him if a new one comes up. That Swerve mold is one of my all time favorites.

Same with T30 Springer, it's why I'm not bothered with the new one.

I'm wondering, much like 2 Micromasters to a Legends package, if they would do something like 2 legends in a deluxe packaging, giving us 2 characters together like Bee and cliff, or Huffer and Gears, combos of minibots like that. It would work great for Throttlebots

[steals_your_goats]

Two pack minibots is an interesting idea but personally, if they're going to do legends at deluxe pricing then I'd rather have a really good legends figure and then some cool battle accessories. Like do bee with his little jetpack thing and a war hammer. So pretty much do what that model kit did.

I agree with this. and it gives me another idea:

Action Master homage deluxes. Have a $12-15 deluxe figure, and then have it loaded with accessories that homage the Action Masters, like the Bee-jetpack, or give us the Transforming partners, etc.

[Stargrave]

Well if it's a forgery, it's one heck of a forgery. Thanks to member Puhonex we have a listing for a Transformers War for Cybertron Voyager Class three pack of Acid Storm, Ion Storm, and Nova Storm on Ebay! That's right, if to be believed, this is S52, S53, and S54, leaving less speculation about the remaining possibilities for this leg of the new Transformers trilogy race.

Is this set to be revealed at the 'Con this week? Some Seibertronians definitely called something like this out and each deserve some kind of award because in all reality, even if you think you saw this coming, you couldn't have seen it coming.

It's currently listed at $175.99 to seller orange.and.oak.

Will you be putting in your bid? Let us know in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

[Hellscream9999]

they look so bland and uninteresting, guess that's 'g1 accuracy' for ya

[steals_your_goats]

Kinda wish they took a few more liberties with the deco but that is what they look like. I would've liked a more ice blue Ion, and a darker yellow Nova. I think Acid Storm looks fine I love that color green.

[Stargrave]

I agree they look very, very G1 accurate, which has me feeling like deeper colors all around would have just looked better. Maybe by deeper I mean grittier to a degree, which to me is the underlying vibe with Siege and the battle damage paint it's that gritty war feel....then the ultimate in 90's neon comes flying in...

[Jtprime17]

This was on the TFW's leakers 2nd part of his list. Which means we can also expect all 3 powerdashers.

Drill type from Brunt with new Head
Jet type from sixgun with a new head
F1 type from Cog with a new head

[Skritz]

I hope this is real but I gotta admit the MUH GEEWUN has resulted in some eyesore when it come to color scheme. They could have at least added some colors to the arms and legs even if it would just be grey or black.

[Puhonix]

Sweet, my first news credit.

[Flashwave]

No. No no no no....

Dang it.

My whole reason for passing on the mold was because we would “Never See the assortment of Seekers we got with the Deluxe Class Classics Mold.”

I hate being wrong.

There are now more than enough individual Seekers from this mold that I can’t use the “Not able to Troop Build” as an excuse anymore, Now we just need the Coneheads

I figure this will probably be in the 100-120 range, not the listed 175 it sold for.

3*30+ whatever small exclusive markup

[Sentinel_Primal]

Hm... Alright, fine. Guess I'm biting the bullet on the Siege Seeker mold 3 more times

[Stars_On_Screamer]

They look like Chinese knockoffs, lol!

[Un_Chakal]

No. No no no no....

The tfw2005 leaker hinted they were coming next. Maybe pt 2 of wfc

If the Coneheads do show up, then I hope they're a new mold. The Coneheads' transformation scheme is too different from the current Tetrajet mold for it to work in my opinion
