GALAXY CONVOY! SUPER MOOOOOODE!

[AllNewSuperRobot]

This is an older picture from a very old phone camera, so I should take another later - anyways, I'd love to see a Leobreaker in this lineup that is closer to the initial sketches for the character. Source of this is the Galaxy Force Phase Ignition book.

This reminds me of the non-Beast Mode concept art in the back of The Gathering/Ascending (and Hearts of Steel). Sometimes this concept art really highlights how ...unimaginative, the final release product on the shelves can by.

What I would be more excited for would be an arm mode as it looked like in the initial sketches

Thankfully, I have the original, so this makes buying Ultra Magnus easier.

iirc, Leobreaker was a victim of Takara's financial troubles at that time. Couldn't take a chance on another Ultra Class and OP upgrades were moreso their thing than Hasbro's. Galaxy Force was their last line before the Tomy merger, as more circumstantial evidence of this.

Yeah that arm mode is also in the book, would love to see it happen!

How many Really Cool Transformers designs have littered the cutting room floor over the years?

Hope there's a way of moving the guns away from his arms, otherwise they might get in the way

Ugh imagine UW Devastator but with an umlimited budget for Hasui to go full hog MP with it. Or MP Huffer/Drag who never got made to go with MP-10. The Generations Deluxe book is also painful to look at, has a trove of some amazing late G1 concepts that never saw the light of day!

[Albatross250]

Is it odd to call Him Ligerjack?

because Galaxy Force made his name differently, also Sonic Bomber. (Wing Saber)

Some people got to see Galaxy Force fansubbed in English by TV-Nihon before Cybertron starting airing on TV in English, and so prefer to use the Japanese names instead.

This thread is swimming in love juices for the new leader Prime...

[Sabrblade]

Those wheels on his wings are faux altmode kibble molded into the wings and painted black.

That would be nice and could be retooled in a BEAST WARS character like Cheetor for example. But I already have the original Cybertron OP and this one doesn't look as cool as the original to me. I really don't like Magnus' proportions and he totally has those.
I have Movie (2007) Power of the Allspark Wingblade (Cybertron Wingsaber recolor),too. The combination mode of him and Prime is awesome. If they do that again I'll rethink it but as for now Leader SIEGE Prime's a pass for me.

[o.supreme]

Galaxy Force/Cybertron was when I stopped collecting initially. I watched the show, but never got the toys. I planned on getting Primus, (even had it Literally in a shopping cart at Target back in 2006), but since I was selling my whole collection, I figured it was kind of pointless...

However...Seeing the design for Siege Leader Prime and people mentioning Ligerjack/Leobreaker. How incredible would it be *if* somehow they integrated the CW system and created a Leobreaker Deluxe or Voayger that could connect with Siege Leader Prime? I seriously doubt it will happen, however was able to use the system with the legs on Legends God Bomber, so it isn't impossible, however I seriously doubt Hasbro would be that creative considering cost cutting seems to trump creativity.

[blackeyedprime]

Easy pass on the Cybertron Prime. Nice to see him in the line but it is something that I don't want or need, having the original figure. Siege lines saving my wallet so far

[Albatross250]

Excited to see Omega, but there's one guy that needs to Modernized....
GRANDUS
Well, i hope this guy would come in the trilogy, oh wait, there's micromasters in the trilogy so there are hopes.

[o.supreme]

^Perhaps as a legends exclusive, after all they are releasing Big Powered from existing TR toys in the Spring. I'd definitely be up for it, but only if we had a Star Convoy & Sky Garry to go with it.

An interview in the new Transformers Generations 2019 book implied that Big Powered might represent the conclusion of the Legends line.

That's unfortunate. Legends was the last bastion of hope for some really creative releases. I mean Things like the Select Series & Greenlight are cool and all, but I don't see doing anything major like a Metrotitan from Metroplex etc..

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

GIVE IT TO MEEEEE!! I love Cybertron Optimus Prime, I have him and the Galaxy Force version. I'll buy this on sight.

I hope his inner robot has the long rear truck section like the Cybertron Leader, but I'll take it regardless.

[R_Puffs]

This may not be the only Cybertron homage this line has to offer...

[ZeroWolf]

I like this a lot, even by the fake truck kibble on his shoulders the line needs more ideas like these. Plus it's clear that this is a completely different take on the character compared to the voyager one.

There is only one Optimus I even remotely like...

A figure for this guy would be great also..
