I think we know what we're getting barring exclusives, but there is always 2020

Prime with Apex Armor sounds good.
I could imagine a slight retool of Magnus and his trailor such that the trailor is gray and more flat.
Seeing how UltraMagnus works, THIS is totally possible. Skipping the PMOP and going strait to Apex Armor, especially since the US did not get the previous Takara Release in normal wide release.

I kinda hope it's PMOP out of Magnus (again :lol:

) and then an exclusive for say Amazon or BBTS is revealed to be voyager or leader Godbomber who's now a weaponizer. Ir's more likely that that won't happen unfortunately, but it'd be awesome

Weaponisers out of godbomber/roller would be awesome on fact they could probably combine the two ideas to get milage out of them. Plus the roller that came with ultra Magnus's diaclone predecessor transformed ;-)

Hoping for a RID based prime to compliment the Magnus, it probably is jut the voyager with trailer and some crazy armor options(4 legs or three heads...) to fight against shockwave. A version of Cybertron Prime could be nice. Either Cbertron or RID Prime might be able to get a Baynus Sentinel Prime repaint out of them if Barricade ends up not being based on G1 in this line up.

Was hoping that for prime he'd have a trailer that transformed into a micromaster base

So it could be a voyager prime with trailer that acts as a weaponiser / armour (which would suck a bit for those like me already ordered the voyager prime)

A repaint of Ultra Magnus with new armour

Or something else

I would be interesting in an OP trailer that unfolds into a massive display rack for all of the C.O.M.B.A.T. accessories. Could even just be the G1 trailer with lots of 5mm ports inside.

Thouh it occured to me that Energon Prime would lend itself well to the gimmick if his drones were weaponizers.

That's a good idea (the one about the trailer holding the accessories) but then again so is the trailer unfolding to be a Micromasters

Micromasters base is possible, after all Hasbro promoted Magnus's trailer's compatibility with the Micromasters.

Admittedly, that's a TON more weathering on the chest than I would ad.

I just want a nice Voyager Class Prime that comes with a Trailer that turns into a base, like the old school days. Put it in a leader class box but come on, lets get some trailer base action. I would think with the whole weapons thing, the base trailer would have been a must.

Here's a thought that just crossed my mind. I'm not sure a micromaster base or even just a weapons rack type of trailer could even work in Siege for a regular leader class release. Unless the trailer can partsform into some armor, I just don't see it fitting in the leader sized box and I'm certain that anything in a regular release is going to have to fit.

I mean, they can still plan out a base mode, but they would also need some type of other mode that would allow it to fit within the packaging.

Wow the Leader Class lines have been so disappointing the last 2 years...

I wouldn't even be buying Shockwave if Amazon didn't give me a courtesy credit regarding that CounterPunch pre-order debacle. Otherwise that Shockwave "armor" is NOT Leader class worthy.

That Seige UM is not replacing my CW version and the last thing I need is another OP especially if I'm buying this upcomming Voyager class one.

....There are so many characters that are Leader class worthy (Deathsaurus, Scorponok, Thunderclash, Star Saber, etc.) yet Hasbro continues to give us OP's.

If it is a Voyager OP that's finally getting a G1 trailer with Roller then why be so secretive about it... There's no way I'm buying another Voyager OP that might come with a trailer for Leader class price if I already grabbed the Voyager plus there's no other OP that I'm interested in.

To be fair, I think it's likely that scorpy will see a release as the the titan after omega since he's the last big guy to sort out (who we get for titans after that will be interesting to see)

All I care about getting is that Shockwave, if only for that epic Macross/Guiltaur mode!

All of this talk about a Leader Prime makes me hesitant to pull trigger on the Voyager now. I really only wanted that toy for the accessories and the 5mm ports. Not that its not a nice sculpt, but I ha e a lot of nice sculpts of Optimus.

Wouldn't mind grabbing an extra Op and Megs to make Guiltar, then an extra Brunt and Shockwave to turn the Megs in Galvatron. Dunno if either would work, but no harm in trying.

There's no doubt that Titan Class Scorpy is coming after Omega but unlike all these OP's that Hasbro releases every year, I would buy both a Leader Class and Titan class Scorponok and this would've been the best time to release a Leader class instead of the 3 we're getting now (again Shocky should've been a Voyager). But whatever... If they still make their bottom line then go OP crazy. But it's not like John Wadren hasn't been acting like he's been listening to collect's demands during Comic Con panels lately.

Oh no argument here about Shockwave but I do believe it's because the voyager slots were full. Though on saying that, did they need to release Springer here? Or is that because they plan on releasing all the wreckers over the next three years...

by **Stryker P28** » Mon Nov 05, 2018 1:15 pm

well they did put topspin in Titans Return

Soooooo, what's the possibility that the Leader Prime is just the Titans Return: Siege on Cybertron Prime? I was poking around online and saw that Prime and it made since that they might sell it solo...

Just a thought.

I think we are pretty set on wreckers aside from Ironfist, with impactor coming later next year. I think Springer was chosen because they wanted another autobot for a voyager slot (since most are decepticons) and of all the voyager class toys one would need for this redo of G1, Gen Springer was both the oldest triplechanger left to redo and least true to his G1 look (boxy helicopter). Of course that also goes for Sandstorm but that character is much less famous. Basically, I think they wanted all their heavy hitters present in Siege.

Who else would you have picked to fill the vyager slot for an Autobot?

We basically know verything we are getting next year in Siege and those two are not there so I guess the chances are 0%?

I would say zero chance since Takara already sold it once solo, and a second time packaged with Godbomber and the Cab/Minerva headmasters in addition to Hasbro's box set release.
