I love that we just got a picture of a new figure, and already we're assembling the list of possible/hopeful repaints. Brings a smile to my face.

Can't wait to see what sort of Optimus Prime will be born from this line. As someone who unfortunately missed out on the amazing Cybertron Omega Prime... I'd love to see something as advanced.

I wonder, will this toyline be a stand-alone thing, or will it be part of the new cartoon that's coming up? :???:

Ah ****, sorry guys. I guess I forgot that I slept with that hot Hasbro PR Rep one night and we made one too many mini-cons.......



Nah,

seriously...

This is like my biggest wet dream ever. It's like a pseudo Armada Headmaster revival.

Ah... cheers to a f-ing great 2010.

I just noticed what appears to be the word "Chopster" in the top-left corner. Maybe that the name of the mini-con shown here? (His weapon form looks like an ax.)

I'm so glad these are real (including huffer and caliburst) I'm really looking forward to this line, between the awesome bot modes and the incredible minicon type partners, I'm really stoked, hopefully the price range will be fair, I'm wondering if the voyager minicons will be scale with the size or if they will come with extras. Totally stoked to see more of this line! At this point I plan to get the whole line as I was way to casual-a-fan when the original minicons were available (Armada, Energon). These are looking great so far.

To the poster that sees tank treads on Chopster, I disagree, I think what we are seeing is the arms of Chopster, I don't believe the minicons are meant to have individual vehicle modes, instead I believe vehicle weapon mode refers to the vehicle (commander) and it's weapon (minicon) awesome all the same.

Loving this line so far!

I too am surprised that this is a Decepticon fire truck, but it still looks great.

I agree, I would much rather have mini-con partners that turn into usable weapons and armor instead of dinky vehicles.

What would be cool is if we finally got a new version of Soundwave that included more than one minion. This kind of thing just begs to have a Soundwave with minions that actually DO something. Yes, Cybertron Soundwave had a Laserbeak disguised as a bomb, and Animated Soundwave has Laserbeak and Ratbat as a guitar and keytar, but how cool would it be if Frenzy and Rumble turned into handheld blasters, while Ravage turned into chest armor and Laserbeak turned into a jet pack?

Even if Soundwave came with only one, that would be okay, as long as the others could be bought separately, just like in G1.

I’m sorry, I’m geeking out right now. Lol ;)

All in all, this is cool. This made my day.

Thanks.

Actually, this looks pretty crappy. Kind of like it should have come out between Energon and Cybertron. I would like to see better pictures though.

I refuse to judge until we see the actual figures and what they do. I'm thinking though that the car prototype we saw a while back with the WoC game Prime prototype must be from this line.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

They have me suckered in with the idea, but they did the same with other lines.

I really do like the 'look into the past' with the whole Minicon becomes gun, vehicle, armor, and robot. I like that idea a lot, especially if it brings us a new combiner by the name of Lio Kaiser, or maybe Road Caesar?

I'm willing to give them a chance.

Well, I've got high hopes. This figure looks great from these blurry pictures. I wonder if the head follows the sensibilities of G1, Bayformer or something else.

If it is indeed Minicons who become weapons/armour for the bulks, I hope we get some Master homages like Skullcruncher, Sureshot or Joyride.

Don't know if I'd necessarily go as far as saying it looks crappy, but I am with ya in that I'm definitely not wowed at this point. To me, it reminds me of one of the previous line molds repainted to sell in the movie line.

I'd say, as far as name goes, that this will either be called Flatliner or Decepticon Axer. My reasoning is that you can just make out an ER in the second line of the robot's description. Based on how long those lines of text would need to be to make sense, I think it's going to be Decepticon Axer. The fact that the axe minicon is named Chopster, as well as the implication of a firetruck being akin to a firefighter, weilding an axe, would probably support this. In any case, I look forward to this line, and with luck they'll fit well as a bridge between the Armada-Energon-Cybertron figures and those from Classics and Universe 2.0.

Now all I need to be completely happy would be for Hasbro to announce minicon sets of three, like in Armada, but each turning into a convincing weapon. A rifle pack, a melee pack, a rocket launcher pack, a chemical weapon pack, etc, would be great for arming all of those poor transformers who didn't come with their own weapons.

Ok, so it looks like his name is just Commander. In the upper area explaining what Power Core Combiners are it just barely gives you enough to make out what his full name is.

"MINI-CONS and drone vehicles (sold separately} attach to power-up any Commander figure!

So this tells me one of two things. More then one character will be given the generic name Commander or some type of prefix will be attached to other Commander figures in the future (ex. Air Commander)

I'm working on the bio too. Just two words that don't fully make sense.

No one holds a grudge like Commander. He plots elaborate ___________ against his hundreds of enemies, and thanks to his combination with CHOPSTER he has the power to see ____ ____ of them through.

But with all that said you can just barely make out the start of a second name just below where it says Commander in yellow. Gah' friggin' pictures.
