I got my perfect springer back in generations, this one would have to really blow the first away and look way cooler, and I doubt it'll nail that second one

Voyager Skywarp though...

Still stoked for cog and magnus and those weaponizers

I was watching the G1 film today on the big screen and when I was seeing Springer I could easily see how the new toy for this line would be very different from the previous one. A lot blockier in all modes. It would be a very different look and it could be fun. Its not about outdoing the previous one but giving us a Springer we didnt get before, just as we see with the Leader Magnus we are getting.

Ugh, now I'm gonna wait to see the Siege Soundwave before I decide to buy the Bumblebee movie one

Its different scales so depending on what you need him for one could still be better over the other (like if you need a Sodnwave to go with your Leader Generations Decepticons or if you want a Soundwave that interacts with casette bots).

As for me, I am not gonna have to wait to get the Siege Soundwave before I make my list of top 5 Soundwave toys.

Anyone want to guess who/what Battle Masters Smashdown and Pteraxadon could be?

I hope they are more Action Master partners

A hammer and an ax seem the most likely. Pteraxadon could be based on Screech and maybe Smashdown based on Top-Heavy? As Lionizer has shown us the original alt modes don't matter.

I was thinking of Screech for Pteraxadon

Absolutely THRILLED to be getting another voyager Soundwave. Only thing keeping me from snatching the TR Soundwave was just how big he was. Totally out of scale with the rest of my Generations line. So this should do perfectly if they give him a decent alt mode and some MICROMASTER sized minions!!

I'm pretty much in that boat: by all accounts, TR Soundwave and Blaster are amazing figures with a good modern integration of their minions. Unfortunately, most of my figures are in the Deluxe-Voyager scale barring the truly towering bots (like Overlord).

They were made for the new Generations Leader scale Hasbro was trying to make happen.

Yeah, whole different thing, but I pick toys buy cool factor and not necessarily scale. I want to see how this Soundwave will look, and if it looks good enough to replace the Bee movie one and sit beside my FOC Soundblaster, or if it's cool enough to get both, or bland enough to pass and get the Bee movie one.

Same may be for Magnus. He and CW Magnus are so radically different some in hand stuff and reviews may convince me at some point

[Sentinel_Primal]

So, seeing as NYCC starts tomorrow, what characters do you think will be revealed?

[Overcracker]

Hopefully at Least Megatron and Shockwave. Maybe Starscream.

[Autobot N]

So, seeing as NYCC starts tomorrow, what characters do you think will be revealed?

Optimistic prediction:
Rest of Wave 1
All of Wave 2

Realistic prediction:
That Micromaster team that was leaked by the listings (can't remember the name)
Blowpipe
Skytread
Megatron
Starscream
Shockwave

[Emerje]

When NYCC ended last year we had seen all of PotP waves 1 and 2 and all of wave 3 deluxe plus voyager Hun-Gurrr so I'm expecting a lot of reveals this year. Plus it looks like the exclusive is going to be a total surprise since there haven't been any rumors that I've heard of (unless SS Drift is it).

Also, NYCC has exclusives?

Maybe read the whole post before commenting?

all of wave 3 deluxe plus voyager Hun-Gurrr

And yeah, Grotusque was the (shared) exclusive last year. I don't think it was sold at NYCC last year, but it was announced there and made available immediately on HTS Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised if something suddenly appears on HTS around noon tomorrow.

I would love to be surprised and see a whole bunch of Siege reveals, especially since this line seems like a mixed bag for me so far and I'd love to see more figures that immediately garner my interest, but I am expecting and will probably be happy with just some Decepticons, as long as it's not just the big name guys we know are coming. I don't need a Megatron, or a Starscream, or any variety of Wave, but I need to see if Flywheels separates like Battletrap (and if he does, what he's packing weapon-wise, since Battletrap got no weapons) and I really want to see other Cons that aren't just the usual suspects and aren't Micromasters (Nothing against Micromasters, I just personally have yet to want any).

Although if there is an exclusive, isn't it way more likely to be for PotP or Studio Series than a Siege figure? Siege isn't out yet, and we got a Titans Return figure last year while PotP was being revealed/shown, so I'm not entirely certain why exclusive discussion was brought up here.

I want to see some 'Cons, unless Hasbro are planning an Autobot Civil War

[Va'al]

Thanks to regular source of news Loopaza Mega Store over on Facebook, we have some further confirmation on some of the releases in the Transformers War for Cybertron Siege toyline, as far as the Takara Tomy distribution is concerned anyway: according to them, Leader Shockwave, Voyager Megatron, Skytread, Top Shot, Storm Cloud, and already seen Hound and Blowpipe.

None of these are breaking news, of course, as we had seen some of the lineup on display here, and we have several US / Hasbro listings about most of the same names too, as seen here. But check it out below, and let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub, as we wait for any New York Comic Con 2018 reveals here on Seibertron.com!

[Emerje]

Big Shot is now Top Shot? That's probably easier to copyright if it's not just a bad translation. Flac should be Flak, or I guess it's Flask now, and Visper should be Whisper which is great because I really wanted to see him in the Air Strike set.

Hopefully we'll see all of these in a few hours.

Before the full panel and event for the Hasbro Trasformers section of New York Comic Con 2018, we have a sneak peek at two new posters for the War for Cybertron: Siege toyline, courtesy of Seibertron and megatronus who are currently on site!

The two posters mirrored below feature - at long last - the Decepticon faction in the Cybertronian war, with a specific poster for Megatron himself, and one for the Decepticon high command featuring Shockwave, Soundwave with Ravage and Laserbeak, Starscream, Thundercracker... and Omega Supreme's head. Check them both out below, and stay tuned for more updates from NYCC as they roll in!

[Sentinel_Primal]

Wait, so Omega's definitely the titan for the year? Neat

[Hydrargyrus]

Laserbeak and Ravage are the most important reveals here.

[Sabrblade]

So, what, Megatron killed Omega Supreme and turned him into a throne footstool?

[Autobot N]

Also, there's our solid confirmation of Thundercracker and Soundwave.
