I'm starting to think that the name of this line is gonna end up being just "Transformers: Siege", with "War For Cybertron Trilogy" just being the umbrella term for the trilogy that will encompass Siege and its two successor lines, much line how "Prime Wars Trilogy" was the umbrella term for the trilogy made up of Transformers: Combiner Wars, Transformers: Titans Return, and Transformers: Power of the Primes.

And also like how "Unicron Trilogy" retroactively worked the same way for Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, and Transformers: Cybertron.

Ultra Magnus looks awesome, and so does Hound. I already have both bots in my collection, but if Ultra Magnus is good, I might just deal with that now Hound looks great too, but if we get a Leader Shockwave, that means we can have a gun mode that fits in our hand perfectly like TR Sixshot. They just have to make his official mode an artillery cannon or something like that and with some rearranging of parts, voila, a gun. Yay!

Leader Shockwave should be able to wield his Combiner Wars Legends self as a gun. Anything else is just gravy.

Sold, so sold. Finally an epic voyager sized optimus prime.
Another Ultra Magnus, looks even better than the one that was already great enough.
Sideswipe looking G1 killer, a better hound (I presume, classics was already great besides the torso
being loose).

It's soooo awesome, the next Generations Trilogy. And I've been getting almost all since Combiner Wars which I freaking love. And all the follow up stuff.

I love the armor drones dudes who you can get. Love it all, here's a little hope for actual War For Cybertron / Fall of Cybertron cameo's. But no need, it's just pure magnificence anyway.

I need to collect my tongue now.

[noctorro]

Omg guys, this is way too much awesomeness. And I'm slowely recollecting Energon... :S
This stuff is sooo cool.

[Deadput]

Wow this gimmick looks awesome, and the toy commercial as well as how blocky the toys look take me back to the old G1 commercials of the older days, it's a well done commercial for sure.

Also hell yeah to the return of Micro masters.

[Burn]

Also hell yeah to the return of Micro masters.

Remember that time we got excited over the return of Pretenders?

Yeah ... these are just going to be Micromasters with three modes ... kinda like, what were those guys again? Oh yeah ... Mini-cons.

Still, they'll be fun to collect.

[Skritz]

This is definately a line which suffered from a really underwhelming initial reveal, as I thought it would mostly be just 'Geewun Redux' with some targetmasters. Yet it seems this is a line focused on weapons and accessories too, which is really good.

But I do have a complain: show me some tank/heavy vehicle molds! Things which would look good bristling with heavy weaponry to make the NRA blush! SHOW ME THINGS TO PUT THE GUNS ON!

[ZeroWolf]

Weaponizers have my attention, as do the micro-*cough*totallynotminicons*cough*-masters. Also hound already looks like he's been to earth with those stickers

Yeah I'm viewing these guys more as accessories rather then figures on their own, I did like Minicons back in the day (Although that was when I was a kid so that probably had part to do with it)

[Optimus-Primal]

I really hope someone asks if we are getting Star saber and omega supreme

[frogbat]

*sigh as usual I'm a bit miffed when one of my fave characters and toys that were recently done gets another new mould... in this case, Ultra Magnus. If he's as good as CW Magnus, It'll be a buy. Sideswipe looks very good too, and will probably get because he's even more G1-esque than the generations figures which are beginning to show their age.

The thing about the new figures I appreciate is that with the new engineering patterns introduced since the CW lines, the deluxe are less fiddly to transform and though there is a bit too much repetition, many are pretty ingenious and fun.

Hound's original generations figure was one of the best and the ravage he was packaged with was excellent. However, he was always a bit of a pain to transform in comparison. Hope this one makes it fun...

Prime is great and will fill a massive hole in my collection (TR power master prime is my main prime ATM)

Micromasters got me really excited though, hope to see some bases in the next chapter...

[RAR]

Seems like a good line - I do hope they double up all the Micromasters and make a set B for every theme though as only getting half of a Patrol would be annoying (I don't mind them selling them in 2's though).

I'm quite frankly shocked one of the robots seems to be based on Fortress Maximus' robotic companion Cog though.

I hope they do the same with Scorponok's buddy Fasttrack too.

& The Power Buggy from the Diaclone Powered Convoy set too would be a good one to do too.

I'm still exited for PotP mini pretenders. They scale perfectly with city bots and it give dollies to my G1 originals to play with.

Upon close examination, Magnus appears to be true to his G1 toy by being a white Optimus in armor.
Which in my book is a good thing.
Now if only the MP did that.

[ExciKaiser]

YAY ! Gimmicks !

Not kidding, I need (well-done) gimmicks, I was a bit bored by the first pics of Optimus and Sideswipe who looked a bit...plain..

But these micromasters and weaponizer looks fun. Can't wait to see more.

[Cyberpath]

Thanks for the video!

This is pretty much what I wanted for my CHUG shelf, it's like Hasbro reads these forum. (Except for the truck-mode. Now, Takara, read the forum, too, and retool it ever so slightly please. ) ( Also, they forgot to paint his crotch blue. But at least the fists aren't grey again.)

Funny how many "proper" Ultra Magnus toys HasTak has been releasing, after many years where he was a plain white/blue repaint of Optimus Prime.

I still have those army guys Micromasters. They look spot on.

I was wondering about this as well, and then wondered if the white truck would be just the voyager prime in white or a different mold (perhaps smaller to accommodate more parts in the armour).

A crazy and completely off the way idea would be to have the armour pieces form another bot that can be sold separately so op can wear the armour as well .

I mean they already have a potential exclusive redco in the bag with um, in the guise of delta magnus

[Cyber Bishop]

I'll be all over these..

[YoungPrime]

Prime, Sideswipe and Six Gun will all be bought. I don't need Hound since the previous one is still great.

That UltraMagnus does look bigger than your average Voyager but too small to be another Leader.

But because I'm still comfortable with the Leader class I don't need this one regardless. But I still hope it's a Voyager to warrant the $30 price hike. And since it's rumored to only be 3 Leaders in this line it would mean they're someone else.

[Sabrblade]

Notice how Hasbro so far isn't showing us the altmodes of any of the Deluxe-and-up figures? We know that Optimus's is weird and Sideswipe's is, well, not as ugly as Prime's but still atypical. Wonder what they've got to hide about the altmodes of Hound and Ultra Magnus, if the former in particular won't be an Earth jeep.

[Rainmaker]

Is it possible that the white Optimus inside of Ultra Magnus could just be this line’s voyager?

[mordhelm]

Targetmasters you say? You know whobelse was a targetmaster? Piranacon. There I said it.

[Sabrblade]

He'll be one teeny tiny combiner, then.

Hmmm, maybe he will.

Think about it, we have the mini-Pretenders. The Pretender monsters will all be retools of the Prime Masters, and the inner bot is a combiner. Then the Seacons will be retools of them, and the combined form can wield any of the Seacon Targetmaster shells. Lol.
