Galaxy Convoy looks really good so far! I am excited for him to come to our hands. It feels good to see more "generations" representations in here. And this makes a great voyager prime with an awesome upgrade mode

[Skritz]

So, given CW Optimus was almost Energon Optimus, does this mean we only need Armada Optimus Prime and it will be 'close enough' for the Unicron Trilogy Optimus?

Optimuses...Optimii...Optimoose...?

OR!

Or. Hang with me here.

What if the War for Cybertron Trilogy goes backwards to the Unicron Trilogy?

Siege gives us Cybertron Prime (cause it's in the last few days of Cybertron), Part 2 gives us Energon Prime (on the hunt for energon so to speak), and Part 3 gives us an Armada Prime with some sort of Jetfire and Overload like blokes to go with him (The Prime/Autobot Armada fights the final battle)

A generations armada super jetfire prime + overload would be totally fine by me

*Suggested that a few pages back*

I dunno, this Cybertron Optimus just isn’t doing it for me. I just don’t feel the gotta have this and the giant anti0spaceship guns aren’t doing it for me.

I have both the original CYB and the Galaxy Force Prime redeco. I popped the hinges out of the former’s shoulders so I could take the arms off and combine him with both Lions and WingSaber In my youthful stupidity though, I have no idea where those hinges are now sadly. The Latter is serving me as Guiltar, as the big honkin’ space guns and the not-quite Prime colors work for me.

Give me this new mold as Nova Prime, and I am all over it. Or another cool, semi-obscure deco and I am down. But as Prime? I think I’ll stay with the Voyager.

BUT I am glad to see Hasbro branching out here.

I think Overload would be good material for a Voyager Weaponizer. Or any bigger 'super shroom' character. Small-ish for Voyager size and able to combine with even a Siege deluxe, but larger than default Weaponizers with more mass making them intended to weaponize Voyagers and Leaders.

Victory Leo is also a guy I'd see at such a hypothetical price point.

[Sabrblade]

If not a Weaponizer, here is an alternative idea for Overload, that combines both the G1 Micromaster Overload and his Battlefield Headquarters with Armada Overload in concept (Disclaimer: Not my pic):

[Wireless_Phantom]

I don't think it was that badly articulated, and on mine everything tabbed correctly at least Also the Transformation was screen accurate didn't need false parts like the masterpiece line

The transformation was screen accurate, the proportions were not, and over time his joints tended to wear out unfortunately. That is part of the reason I intend to get this one.

cab kinda looks like it transforms like Ultra magnus, with the way things are laid out.

Revived the Golden Lagoon thread for ya. Here's a tip tho: directly linking to images of other websites (so-called hotlinking) is never a good idea.

[Wolfman Jake]

doh, ignore this one. I thought tonton put up the seige cybertron optimus, but its the old cybertron optimus sorry

Don't feel too bad. A lot of other people made the same mistake today too. For what it's worth, TonTon's video is the one I was referring to on the previous page of this thread when talking about the flaws of that original mold of Cybertron Optimus Prime.

Thanks for the tip, really appreciate it

Totally-Not Cybertron Optimus Prime looks pretty cool to me. Granted I've never handled the original, but I feel this fills a different niche to the original toy. This works as an update for a CHUG/Updated collection (I especially like that his boots now do more to his legs than just give him a tiny bit of height). The original toy can't be replaced alongside his fellow Cybertron toys though. I feel this works much better as G1 Prime homaging the Cybertron design than an actual representation of Cybertron Prime.

The question is though, Cybertron Megatron when?

[Overcracker]

Yes, Cybertron Prime's Cab is retooled from Ultra Magnus' Cab, so its logical it transforms the same.

I really REALLY wanta good deluxe bee because only legends class for him is not tempting.I would want a deluxe bee.Then we could have his redeco wasp.Not CJ because he needs his own mold

While I don't share your desire for a deluxe Bee (I prefer the mini-bots in legends, and actually like the TR Legends bee quite a bit), your post raises an interesting point on the future of the typical mini-bots that would generally fall under the Legends class. There are a few left that really need an update.

Since for Siege, there is no more Legends class, I wonder if this will continue into the 2nd and 3rd part of the trilogy or if Legends class will be making a comeback. Since Hasbro is focusing mainly on bot size accuracy, I don't see deluxe class as an option for the traditional mini-bots unless they go with a Legends size bot with accessories. Boy would that piss off a good portion of the fandom.

I want a new goldfire

I'd love a 'Leader Evolution' style character but at a much smaller scale, like Micromaster/Legends to Deluxe.

[Emerje]

Cybertron Bee is about the only Mini-Bot they could do in deluxe since his car mode is so oddly shaped and his transformation would need to be more complex than Legends class can handle. Problem is he'd be packaged in bot mode so he would need something extra to make him look like he belongs in the class, maybe his Action Master helicopter backpack?

It is really strange that they've done all of these Cybertron figures and haven't done a single one that actually appeared in the first episode with a unique non-Earth mode aside from Starscream. Almost feels like they've trolled us.

Does the lamppost mode on Soundwave not count?

[Wireless_Phantom]

I don't think this would be the case, but my idea was that this WFC timeline diverges from the traditional one. Instead of the Transformers bringing their war to Earth, they end up on a similar planet, or spend a long period of time fighting in space. That would be why this can be the final days of the war as was stated while still being the War for Cybertron. If they go with this idea then maybe we will see some more futuristic, more obscure characters coming down the pipeline.

Surprised to see my stuff shared here. Well, if you guys want to see more images, there's a link below:

I will say that Pxteraxadon isn't that great. Limited articulation, wonky axe mode, wonky gun mode and the effect part only works in melee mode on Pteraxadon, and cannot be used with any other TFs unless being used as a weapon blast.

(EDIT: I didn't realise you guys had one thread for the whole thing. I'm used to separate forums like TFW. Don't use this site often, so I'll specify; this is in relation to the Pteraxadon sightings at Hobbyco. I was the one who found them.)

[Hellscream9999]

I think it'd be cool to get a retool from magnus as an but gets damaged and resurrected (and rebuilt into the armored mode) as a , kinda like armada wheeljacks arc


(holy crap imagine the armored magnus mode with The Fallens head on it)

[no-one]

I was playing around with Skytread last night and found he had a gerwalk mode.
