Gosh... anyone else have any voyager/leader inserts? I honestly.... hadn't thought of going over them.... just sorta saw the Prime backsplash and moved on.

This is fun. I hope more of these poster clues turn up.

Correction to this message. There were apparently 4 SIEGE posters handed out at SDCC last weekend. The Autobot group shot with Optimus, Chromia, Red Alert, Prowl, etc. and a solo Optimus Prime SIEGE poster. I do not know if the other two posters were actually handed out ... don't see them on eBay, which seems odd.

Hasbro’s fan engagement has been really on point lately. I hope this new direction they’re taking continues

i acually want a g1 inspired titan omega supreme, dont get me wrong the energon version was alright but not the real deal, it needs to be a rocket base and for this trilogy and its the start of the great war we need to have the guardians as they should be especially Omega Supreme ;)^

Was there any confirmation if Ultra Magnus' armor could be used as weaponizer chunks? Or if it might have a base configuration with Cog integration?

Curious why the clones are "paired" up with Counter/Punch. I see Swindle in the back of Blast Off; and what looks like another monsterbot (Grotesque?) with Repugness?

Watch them troll us with the Cybertron Trilogy Omega Supreme (YotS)

Same. I just can't wrap my head around Omega turning into the Ark in a G1 setting.

It's because they appeared in the cartoon together, that's all.

Someone should ask if Chromia still has a Combiner peg like her moldmates, or if any more Combiners will be coming.

Sorry to not pick but this isn't the beginning of the great war as it's already been described as the last day on cybertron. Basically the war has already been raging and the decepticons are trying for a final push. I certainly believe the next toy lines will see them off world and possible earth...though that's just conjecture till this time next year! :-P

Pretty weird move to name your trilogy after a war that's already ending. Unless we get a 'prequel' line?

Depends on how long the day is ;-)

also technically even when they were on earth they were still fighting for cybertron...they just had to power it up first! :lol:

Siege; Fall: Blackout? Rise of the micromasters?! :O maybe the last one will lead into beast wars reboot!

I envy your optimism. We'll never see a full line of beast wars again...at least for a long time

Which is why it makes more sense for WFC2.0 to be set post POTP rather than Pre-CW

News Credits: 1350 · Sat Jul 28, 2018 4:38 am

I agree it would make sense but that's not what we got unfortunately. Though to be fair I don't think it's set pre prime wars Trilogy either. It is what it is, Another g1 inspired alternative Universe...again.

But a shared Beast line, with beasts from G1 and BW, would keep everyone happy.

Beast Wars fans only need 11 figures to finish off their Season 1 Generations collections. 11 figures out of a line of 45 figures leaves a lot of room for beasts from other lines.

She does not, but there is no definite no or yes on the second question!

You know what I would like? A completely new combiner (or a few), we got the classics yes and we still need a couple more (though only seacons left for the traditional scramble city style) but I want brand new characters, brand new getsalts. Can't keep living off the coatails of G1 forever

I mean it will never happen but I would love if lines had a couple (Ideally 3-4) of brand new filler characters that could be used as cannon fodder in collections. (Blank slates if you will that future media can develop)

I'm thinking of Combiner Wars's Alpha Bravo (Best character ever), Offroad, Rook and Studio Series Shadow Raider as well as past lines like Cybertron where we got new guys like Hardtop (a very underrated character and toy in my opinion) and Brushguard or all of those minicons, hell some of the movie toy line originals like Breacher and Breakaway (One of my fave Autobots ever and my fave movie design in general although the toy doesn't really do the design justice)

In the way I'm thinking the toy lines would still be mostly familiar characters while also slowly expanding and making new characters.

Victorion and Megatronia say "Hi."

With IDW winding down the existing continuity ect and with HB saying this is about the start of things - could it just simply be that this line, whilst part of "Generations" has absolutely no connection to PotP, Combiner Wars ect at all?

For all we know, IDW might be doing a new #1 that starts with Siege for a new continuity.

Admittedly I'd forgotten megatronia, but my point still stands, I mean I want these as part of a line available at general retail in this part of the world...Megatronia certainly wasn't in the UK ;-)
