Totally missed that! Good call dude.

Actually I'm not convinced that are compatible with the TR titans and bases.

Yeah, I dont think they are compatible.

Why wouldnt they be? They went out of their way last Convention to show us that Supreme has the Base Connectors, why would thry go put of their way to give Astrotrain something that definately looka like them and isnt?

The connectors may simply be an artifact of some element of his transformation.

Looking at the pics, I honestly cannot tell. I mean, we saw them on Omega Supreme for sure, which has me excited. Part of the concept if *true* for Astrotrain makes sense since his launch mode has a *base* of sorts. And yet, part of me doesn't want it, because It will take me another step backwards from completing my all connected Transformers city. I'm only 4 steps away now (and they are pretty big Expensive steps), though admittedly Leader Astrotrain would be the least of my worries.

Seibertron is currently at the Hasbro breakfast event at SDCC and we have some fun news to report. As rumoured, Hasbro revealed a 3 pack of Transformer Siege Refractor / Reflectors. All three are in their G1 toy colours, helping us differentiate them as individuals. The camera mode is uniformly black from the front and comes with extra accessories like a flash.
Siege Soundblaster and Bluestreak were also there and this is technically their official reveal. Reflector should be available at various online retailers soon, similarly to the earlier Generations Selects toys. Keep watch for more news throughout today.

Let us know what you think!

Did you ask an employee to get it out of the back, or did they just have it out? I was at one of my Targets last night (also in northern CA), and they didn't even have spots for these on the shelf yet

Redeco? Check
Extra Parts? Check
Special Packaging? Check
No ID number? Check

... I do believe the Refraktor 3-pack is the SDCC exclusive. Shame.

Better camera-mode I guess, but I still prefer "them" to look identical (minus the shutter ab, of course.)

I know it's hectic with all of the SDCC reveals coming up but if anyone could provide some insight I would be grateful: I've had Seige Jetfire on preorder from BBTS for a while and was expecting him in stock early this month. Haven't seen anything as of yet. I'm just being impatient but has anyone received their preordered Seige Jetfire through BBTS?

That Reflector is a thing of beauty, I need it, and five other reflectors...

On the side, it looks like the 35th Anniversary releases don't follow the size class rule with their ID's: Bluestreak is S64, but Soundblaster is S63. Optimus Prime and Megatron, if they're still a thing, would probably be S61 and S62.

It is not, I confirmed with Hasbro before writing what I did in the article.

I don't have him preordered because of cough cough a certain planet, but more than likely they just haven't gotten their shipment yet. This happened with the recent MP+ Wheeljack who was supposed to come out in February, and BBTS didn't get their stock until last month even though other retailers got the figure in March. So it's more than likely just a core distribution issue with Jetfire. It not being sold out would more than likely point to that rather than them potentially just not filling your order ;)^

Amazon and Hasbro Pulse had these briefly in stock on July 1, other than that, no other retailer I know of has received them yet, so no worries, you have not been left out.

So much yes with these reveals! I was hoping the Reflectors would have new heads, but they look so amazing as is, I'm not sure I care anymore.

Looks like sound blaster has a retooled chest to fit 2 mini bots? Just his G1 I believe!

Uurg! As a collector who prefers toy accuracy over toon, I now think I'm feeling a tinge of da regrets for already scooping up the retail Refractors.
Looks like I'll end up with both, because there is no way I'm NOT getting that set.

Well, keeping a lookout then. Those extra pieces make a world of difference.

Really? Where?

Honestly, I've never seen anything like this, a toy company that doesn't want to sell its toys.

Is nobody gonna mention the unpexted kremzeek included there?

Bluestreak and SoundBlaster look great I really hope I can get a hold of them. Is it bad I want this toy accurate Reflector and the regular retail Reflector.
