Are they seriously releasing Apeface but not Snapdragon? I hope it's not gonna be another Chop Shop where they never bothered to release the rest of the team.

Also Crosshairs just looks like Ironhide painted in Optimus Primes colors. Nice try Hasbro but NO!

I'd imagine that Snapdragon will come in the next part of the trilogy. This is only the first part after all. I'd be more concerned about them not bothering to make a Frenzy/Rumble like they almost didn't in Titans Return

[Jelze Bunnycat]

I bit confused about 10 pack minibot....are the same we have but repaint and in the same pack, the planes are all the same?

They're all redecos of previously released figures, yes. I am a bit surprised that it has two sets of the Air Strike Patrol, but one set may be retooled similarly to Red Heat, and the Sports Car Patrol members Hyperdrive and Blackjack. We'll have to wait and see at SDCC.

But rest assured, I'll be hunting for it

[fruit-salad]

I’m confused as to who the two blue battlemaster/Micromaster guys are? The ones that combine into an onslaught type vehicle? Can anyone tell me who they are supposed to be? (Also Spinister is looking really good I think him and apeface are who I’m going to be trying to get)

*sighs* WHY DOES HASBRO WANT MY MONEY SO MUCH

[megadino706]

That Titan class Primus looks great, ready to drop 575 for my Transformers God.

What do you mean Primus? Unless you're making a joke.

[Decepticon Stryker]

Liking what I see, especially that Rumble/Frenzy & Ratbat pack. Also, is it me, or does Rung look like he could be recolored into Kaon? I mean, he even has lightning like blast effects. If a Kaon repaint is possible, I hope the rest of the DJD will follow.

[Prime Target]

Ratbat. Hasbro finally made a new Ratbat. And the Madmen made a new Frenzy mold too.

Rung.

And the Direct Hit and Power Punch Micromaster combiner.

Plus the unidentified long rumored Micromaster ten pack, The unidentified Targetmaster (Please for the love of god let it be a proper Fracas) and the rest of the reveals looking fine AF! I'm so in on this!

Bring on the new Commander, Titan and next chapter!!!!


Also Hasbro you better complete the Rescue
Patrol with a Seawatch and Fixit two pack or I swear to god

[Stargrave]

Rung actually turns into a Matrix maker I mean regardless of size I’m smitten. I’m smote.

[frogbat]

Most of these are immediate buys...finally might get a ratbat in my collection!

The micro master combiners were great fun and the battle squad was one of my faves. In a way I’m a bit let down by the siege micromasters cause they have t greatly improved over the originals. Would’ve been nice to have more planes... didn’t manage to pick up the air strike patrol so might get this 10 pack if reasonably priced,

[Ultra Markus]

i was almost thinking astrotrain was going to be a real leader class size figure then i saw the launch pad he comes with i guess the new leader class is now voyager with accessories thats a shame

[Wolfman Jake]

Is anyone else a bit underwhelmed with Rumble/Frenzy? The legs especially are kinda weak. The knees are too high and the feet aren't very distinct. I'm hoping it's mis-transformed and the thighs telescope up a bit more from the lower legs and that the feet flip out at the bottom. On the other hand, Ratbat looks great. I hope it's not too long until we see Buzzsaw and Blueguy.

I agree but I love that they made it work enough to forgive it. Plus the awkwardness reminds me of both the Autobot and Decepticon cassette robots and their original quirkiness. I doubt they will have little weapons either that kinda bums me out but again, I can forgive it.

[Nemesis Primal]

Dear everyone who said we weren't getting any more IDW designs/characters now that the comic run was over:
Kindly never talk to me again.

Sincerely,
~ Rong Wrong Wrung Oh forget it.

In all seriousness though, this is awesome. Rung is an immediate purchase, Spinister and Apeface still look amazing, I love that Astrotrain has somewhere to store his arsenal, and the Micromasters are alright I guess. Ratbat is my favorite cassette, so if I do get Soundblaster and they don't release any more niche cassettes I might grab him and Rumble there.

I'm absolutely willing to bet that Rung, that Firedrive repaint, the cassettes, and the combiner bros are the missing S44-47. Can anyone see any numbers on the box for the 10 pack?

Also heads-up, the article fails to mention the Micromaster combiner.

Now when's Tarn coming

[Sentinel_Primal]

I just realized that Spinister's second cockpit goes to the underside of his vehicle mode! After seeing it, I guess it should have been obvious that it wasn't going to end up on top behind the first one

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Astrotrain's tender turning into a rocket base is amazing! I'm definitely going to pick up the Rumble and Ratbat pack for Soundblaster. Hope they do a Frenzy set. Oh, and I'm a tad disappointed about the way they handled Apeface's beast mode face, but if it means a good Titan Master and robot mode face, I'm fine with it not being 100% like the G1 toy

That tender is glorious. It feels like the accessory the G1 toy was supposed to have but never got. SIEGE Astrotrain continues to be "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"

i was almost thinking astrotrain was going to be a real leader class size figure then i saw the launch pad he comes with i guess the new leader class is now voyager with accessories thats a shame

That's just an effect of who they've been doing as Leader-class thus far.

Are they seriously releasing Apeface but not Snapdragon? I hope it's not gonna be another Chop Shop where they never bothered to release the rest of the team.

Also Crosshairs just looks like Ironhide painted in Optimus Primes colors. Nice try Hasbro but NO!

1. Be patient, willya? They're probably still hashing out how to handle Krunk.
2. Oh yes, because the red thighs, blue-and-black arms, and unique black headsculpt sooooo look like Optimus' color layout and Ironhide's head. Also, did you miss the initial renders of Crosshairs or something?

[Rodimus Prime]

Cons galore!

Astrotrain will be a pass, if he had been a TRUE leader class (i.e. Magnus-size instead of Shockwave-size), I would have bought it. But the TR A-train is fine for me.

I'll definitely get Spinister and Apeface (there HAS to be a Snapdragon on the way!...right? RIGHT?)

Pass on both Ratbat and Rumble. They're fine, I just don't need them.

Pass on the 10-pack.

The new Targetmaster is a buy, providing we get a name...?

The Micromaster combiner is probably a pass.

I'll probably get Crosshairs, just because.

[blackeyedprime]

After the pics, the 10 pack of micromasters likely a pass as it doesnt complete any teams (I'll just have huge backlog and fun trying to track down any of the Siege micromasters if/when they release the team mates).
Pretty sure the orig combiner micromaster had two gun barrells if it's the G1 one I somehow had a part of. Will pick up when the price is lower.

Ratbat pack, will pick up if/when I get Soundwave/Soundblaster, hopefully soon.

Spinister, definitley even though it looks like a power drill has been taken to him to give him parts to plug in weapons.

Ape face, still a big yes.

Astro train, should be a yes but I dont really need to replace the TR one. Maybe when the line starts getting figures with earth modes then he will be bought to go with them. Size wise, no way is it worth £46, even £30 would be pushing it.

Crosshairs is slowly going from yes, to a maybe at some point. I wanted to have the mold (happy with third party Ironhide) but I'm not understanding it being a 'large deluxe' with it being the same size as TR Kup.

The target masters are maybes.

nope it's this one - https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Power_Punch_(G1) - one of his team mates did have a double barrel turret though

[TFanPage101]

10 pack seems to have Ironworks, Airwave, Nightflight, Tote, Groundshaker, and Skyhopper, at least what I can see.

sounds right as some of those were repaints in the g1 era - would still love a full set of air patrol figures tho

I am underwhelmed by it too.

[ZeroWolf]

These are looking nice, though the biggest suprise is definitely Rung. I wonder if this means he's going to reappear in the new IDW comics then?

I really like Astro train, he was one of the G1 figures I wanted most but could never find at carboot sales as a kid.

[Ironhidensh]

Astrotrain is a possible buy, if I ever find him at clearance prices that bring him down in price to his proper size class.


Rung I will buy two of, one to play with, one to keep MISC.



The rest is a pass.
