Can you recognize who the four Decepticons are in the picture below? Come and share your guesses! Once we publish the identity of these mysterious characters, you have the opportunity to decide which character will appear in 2020. WFC battles Cybertron product line! [中国赞]

A Sharkticon, Runabout or Runamuck, Needlenose, and Shrapnel.

[Sentinel_Primal]

On a different note, wouldn't it have been neat if they had made another Megatron as Voyager class Weaponizer that could combine with Voyager class Optimus Prime into Gilthor?

Now see that is the kind of creativity Takara would do, and it would be awesome to see

And, for those wondering, yes, "Gilthor" is his name. We finally have official confirmation from his creator, Masumi Kaneda, on how to spell his name in English (the "h" is silent, so it is still spoken like "gill-tor").

...what?

We definitely need this and star saber + victory leo as the two faction leaders for an upcoming line

That would be an awesome parallel because it'd be like Megatron is powering up with Optimus/Ginrai as well as Star Saber (on a technicality )

[Skritz]

If they did Star Saber they would ideally need to do Deathsaurus. However at this point I'm starting to have doubts as people shouted OMG STAR SABER NEXT for Titans Return, the POTP (granted that one was close) then Siege...

Looks like Gnaw (or a generic Sharkticon), either Runabout or Runamuck, some weird winged form of Black Convoy (or rather Needlenose as Sabr pointed out), and Shrapnel. WTF? I guess I'd vote Gnaw/Sharkticon for army building purposes?

Leader Class or bust!

Two Voyagers combined would, in theory, make a Leader.

True, but I'm mainly saying that because of this:

[Nemesis Primal]

Plot twist, the Hasbro-mandated big Optimus presence in the next segment of WfC is fulfilled by Leader Class Gilthor, who is clearly visually an Optimus Prime toy so he cashes in on that market but is also a unique character...it'll never happen, but one can hope.

Well, that's an interesting selection of former Legends-class figures and also Needlenose. Does that group work to all be at the same presumably Deluxe price point scale-wise? I can't find that Sunbow scale chart, and Needlenose wasn't in the show anyway. They would have to be Deluxes, as the Needlenose design should be a Deluxe from the last poll and we don't know if the Legends Class is still gone......oh well. Of them, I would vote for Needlenose, as I feel he's in the most need of an update and the card game design got me excited for possible Tetrajet Needlenose. I am very tempted by Shrapnel because I keep wanting Deluxe or bigger Insecticons, but I feel like him being a fan vote choice means we wouldn't get the whole trio, like FoC Kickback all over again. Also, what would happen with the other Battlecharger if they only release one, a Selects repaint?

Nah, I've skimmed his page one or two times before, I vaguely know what he is, I just never saw the vehicle mode somehow.

If I recall didn't needlenose lose the last fan poll, is hasbro that desperate to get a needlenose figure at retail? (if this is a fan poll I'm still voting for him). Also, we already got gnaw and shrapnel in recent lines, are new ones really necessary?

First look at Walgreen's Ratchet and 35th anniversary Bluestreak
https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/c ... d_ratchet/

[notirishman]

Thanks to Reddit user typenext on the Transformers subreddit, we have leaked photographs of War for Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Class Bluestreak and Ratchet! The post here gives us a great look at their robot modes, though judging by Ironhide's instruction, whom Ratchet is a retool of, the chest window is mistransformed.

We knew Ratchet would be made due to him being found in Walgreens' database, meanwhile, Bluestreak's box was briefly seen at Toy Fair 2019 as part of the 35th anniversary subline for Siege.

Bluestreak uses the Prowl mold, but with Smokecreen's, who has weapons from both Prowl and Barricade. Meanwhile, Ratchet has new shoulders, weapon, and of course, head.

So, what are your thoughts on these upcoming figures? Be sure to take these images with a grain of salt, as they are leaked images. Did these meet up with expectations? Will you buy these when they release? Be sure to tell us on the Pub forums below!

[PushYouDown]

oh boy... not crazy about Ratchet but like Blue Streak enough.

[Nathaniel Prime]

Ratchet looks great, and so does Bluestreak.

I wonder how people will react to the mostly white nature of Ratchet though.

I love his G1 toy weapon, it looks great, and now I think we need more reprints of this mold. Diaclone anyone?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

They both look pretty good. Bluestreak at first glance seems to be the best use of the Prowl mold to me. I wish Ratchet had a red crest though

[metalogan]

Oh gee golly!

These look very pretty! However, I noticed it's not using the "chubby" more toon accurate head that you see on Barricade. Was this a mess-up??? I do recall the G1 toy having the same head as prowl if I'm not mistaken.

Also I am hoping for a marvel "red head " version of Ratchet for an exclusive down the line,

but truth be told I really digging these. I have the molds already but the color scheme was enough to get me to want these again - the charm and of recolors and retools.

I would love to get a Blue / Blue ( silver) streak version

[Sabrblade]

Finally, no more Prowl-colored helmet for Ratchet.

[AcademyofDrX]

Where are his red underpants?

Picking up both, though.

[skycutter]

i want to know if that bit in the back of ratchet gun is a wrench

[Wireless_Phantom]

Ratchet looks good. I like that they decided to go with clear blue for the windshield. I'm still not sure if I will go for the Datsun brothers or not but right now it's looking like no. Although I don't already have toys of them in my collection, I don't think this mold is strong enough to justify getting all three of them, so I'll just stick with Barricade.
