And here I was hoping that would be Devcon. I so want a proper Devcon figure complete with a Sleezardo figurine (or whatever that little guy was named).

Man, that artwork has me really wanting Nemesis and Ark playsets. Nothing fancy necessary. Just Millennium Falcon like playsets that open up to allow smaller Transformers to interact with the command center, repair bays, etc. It'd be perfect for Micromasters or even Legion Class sized figures (really wish we had War for Cybertron Legion Class figures of all of the primary characters ... that would be awesome). Heck, it might even be fun to have Micromasters of some of the main characters! Operation: Micro! The Ark and Nemesis don't even need to be in scale with the regular sized Transformers, it just needs to be big enough to look nice on display or in a gallery with the various faction members displayed in front.

And if we're getting to Earth, I could really go for some out-of-scale 3.75" humans like Spike, Sparkplug, Carly, Chip Chase, Dr Archeville, Marissa Faireborn, and so on. Even Primacron, the Armada kids, RID's TAI, or the RID 2015 humans would be great, or any other small supporting characters that don't transform. I'd rather have out-of-scale but nice looking versions of any of those characters over in-scale but weird looking humans that come with Human Alliance or Masterpiece figures. I still think any of those supporting characters would be great pack-ins with a Masters of the Universe style "Weapons Pak" (sic). I can hear the commercial now (narrated by Victor Caroli, if available, or Jon Bailey, doing his best Victor Caroli impersonation).

Transformers Nemesis and Ark Interactive Electronic Battleships(TM) Transformers Battle Packs with Friends!(TM)" coming soon to your local toy store!

Ah, a Transformers fan site owner can dream, right?

I'd rather see that as well, I have enough Blurrs in my life. The bot seems to have a doodad on top of his head just like Devcon. I'm not one to crush dreams; I am one to grab screen caps though. While we're speculating, might as well get a good look at that Bee boi.

EDIT: I'll second your wants for some playsets. Doesn't seem like their current bag and I don't have the room, but I'd find it!

Another pointless thing I noticed while going over the image. That isn't North America.

It's not Pangaea/Beastwars earth either, there goes hopes that I didnt have until just now for part 3 of the trilogy, I'll have to settle for a Russian Red Son Optimus

I can see it now ... Marvel What If? #5884 "What if the Transformers crashed in Moscow instead of Portland?" Dun! Dun! Dun!

Blurr has a doodad on his head also. But it's a very fast doodad. Like a Doodad Swoosh!!! (in italics to boot)

I wonder if the bot in question will just be Red Shirtimus?

It's not North America, but it sure looks like North America with other continents. Could it be prehistoric supercontintent Pangea? That would make sense if they crashed in prehistoric times, but not if they changed the story to them crashing in modern times. Depends on which version of the story the powers-that-be at Hasbro want to tell in War for Cybertron. I hope they stick with crashing millions of years ago story line, which I always thought was really epic when I was a kid.

T30 trailbreakers virtually a siege figure as is with the holes on his arms, just needs holes in his feet but it will be surprising if they dont use a retool of ER hoist..

I think it's 99.999% likely TB will use the ER Hoist mold. Or is it the other way around?

Or is it that all of the characters in that artwork are in their Cybertronian forms that had Cybertronian mode toys at some point, retroactively making Thrilling 30 Trailcutter be Trailbreaker's Cybertronian form in this continuity? This excludes Bumblebee and Wheeljack, however, you know the two who we all most likely would have liked to have seen in their Cybertronian modes in SIEGE given their significance in the G1 cartoon origin story.

[blackeyedprime]

Dunno, it looks like U.K in the art, but then and again we might have had a pangaeaexit back then (what? too soon? grabs coat and leaves).

I mean sure why not, but it looks an awful like like modern day Europe/Asia to me. Spain, Italy, the UK and all other landmarks can clearly be seen.

I like your line of thinking a far as a logical flow, but I was stating that TB's toy will use the Hoist mold. When I said the other way around I was just suggesting TB is the pre-tool.

You can see the UK Spain and Italy...

This is what I see when I look at the artwork. It could be an artist's interpretation of Pangea, but this is what I see when looking at the artwork.

I completely agree with you. I'm just thinking that in the artwork, they are all in their pre-Earth robot modes (Wheeljack and Bumblebee aren't because they have no toy representation as such, so we are to assume that their robot modes looked identical on Cybertron as it did on Earth, based on this artwork. 100% agree that Trailbreaker would be a retool (or pre-tool) of Hoist, especially considering how much bigger and better the new mold is than the disappointing Thrilling 30 Hoist and Trailcutter toys. Hoist is amazing in person. Can't wait to get my hands on him!

DOH! And clearly at that, now that I look at an image of Europe from outer space. Yikes. Talk about a poor perception of what Europe looks like that I can see a Pangea North America there instead of Europe.

Thanks to Hollywood and other portrayals of Earth, I seem to (embarrassingly) suffer from the self-centered perception that the Americas are always prominent when you see the Earth from space. I mean, the Earth doesn't turn and it's flat, right?

That's interesting that it shows Europe. I wonder which artist drew this or if there's a specific reason why they showed Europe so prominently.

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Ooh, I’d pick up that Bumblebee! Just hoping it doesn’t have the partsforming that Cliffjumper does

[TulioDude]

Micron...
Its Japanese name of the minicons.All clues point to Armada!

Day 17 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

That's why I pointed it out. Was it just a random use or is there more to it?

That could lend credence to the Armada Smokescreen speculation. I'm all for UT figures, my wallet needs a break.

EDIT: I'll just drop this here, because it's silly

[Stargrave]

With the chest, I think that’s Zarak on the left, housed in a Headmaster control room or something cool like that piloting the Scorpinok (no doubt with a new shuttle mode come on pleasepleaseplease)

Maybe they convert the trashed Nemesis into Scorpinok?

[Crosscheck]

Wow, the number of people that don't recognize Europe is pretty amazing. Take a frickin' geography class...

[Stargrave]

Yeah I thought it was Australia, till I got Crosschecked p’zow!

Dangit no that’s Doubledealer for sure I was just wanting to see Zarak.

Wasn't thinking modern day Earth. I already embarrassingly admitted above that I didn't recognize Europe because I was thinking Pangea with the focus being on North America. In most Transformers fiction that takes place on Earth, America is generally the primary regional location so I wasn't thinking Europe. It would be unusual for Europe to be used for the primary continent in an image of Earth for Transformers fiction, hence part of my confusion. Also a great example of wanting to see something that wasn't actually there!

[blackeyedprime]

Probably too late for them to alter the art to ancient Earth, but on the bright side non Europeans will now know what Europe looks like having said that my ex thought the Eurotunnel was on the East side of UK (not South East) so dunno where she thought France was.

I was today years old when I found out that Seibertron was an educational website. Guess it's time to apply for that dot org domain extension.

With the time frame of the original series in mind, 4 MYA (Million Years Ago) give or take, the continents were almost in their modern day positions, so showing a current map would be somewhat correct. Pangaea on the other hand was way more back, like ±335 MYA to ±175 MYA when it split in two in the middle of the Jurassic and broke apart further during the Cretaceous.

Showing Europe is... unusual I'll admit, but don't forget, we formed the bridge that kept Transformers going uninterrupted while the U.S. and Japan canceled it
