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"). 8-)

No I know who the character is I'm just weirded out by the 'proper translation' after having called it Guiltaur for years.

WFC part 2 will be called "Armageddon" supposedly.
A decepticon fan vote will take place to see who will get a figure.

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]

Masumi Kaneda answered on Twitter. He said he named it after an evil submarine from an old Japanese series called National Kid, with the name itself coming from the given name "Gil" and the god "Thor" (though, spoken like the archiac "Tor" pronounciation).

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

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 :lol: )

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?

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?

Leaked images of Transformers WFC Siege Deluxe Ratchet and Bluestreak's robot modes

PostPosted: Thu Jun 13, 2019 4:54 pm
by notsoalex
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!
