It further confirms the name Kingdom along with showing us loads of Beast Wars characters next to G1 mainstays Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. All the Beast Wars characters are in their season 1 form adn include:

Optimus Primal
Cheetor
Airazor
Tigatron
Dinobot
Blackarachnia
Scorponok
Rattrap

A few people brought this up and sent us the info such as Stargrave, Sabrblade and Verno. Let us know what you think!

The one on the left side of the poster next to the golden disc looks like Rhinox.
And "Airazor's" beast head looks pretty bright to me even kind of white. So this character looks more like BW Silverbolt to me but Airazor of course makes way more sense. But maybe they changed her beast form.

I didnt realize just how down I was for a new magnaboss or tripredicus until you said this.

I'm down for a better Black Arachnia than the Legends version. The one I bought broke at the elbow. And the replacement figure I bought had a crack in the exact same place. Jury's out on everyone else, really.

This is very exciting!
Can't wait to see how they pull off these designs with today's technology.

Day 198 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

As the MP series covers the animation designs of the shows now I hope they make them as realistic as possible in the Generations line in contrary.

We already saw a greymodel of an Armada Optimus Prime Standing right next to the greymodel of the Selects Star Convoy when they revealed the latter at Wonderfestival ?2018?

Tigatron looks to be a sabertooth now. Cool.

That would be awesome and make me way more interested in his toy.
Maybe they do some alterations in this line and that's why Airazor is a bald eagle now.

I hope they don't need fake kibble.

But we haven't heard from him since,yes?And it was a Leader Class toy.

I wonder what they’re going to call Scorponok because I doubt they’ll reuse the name so quickly after it was used on a high profile titan class figure.

Nope, we haven't. But it looked more like a Voyager next to Star Convoy. Might be a Leader with Armada Prime's trailer.

The Beast Wars are back. Hopefully (futile, i know) all the G1 crying can stop.

"Predacon Scorponok"

Indeed. Weird that no one else has noted Galvatron .
Also I can't place who/what that is between Tigatron and Bumblebee?

Looks pink and white. maybe arcee or elita-1. Trying to clean it up in ye olde photoshop but cant get a good image.

I thought it might be one of them. Potentially a Blackarachnia redeco (a nice nod to the original Arcee release, perhaps?).






I've tried to look up bigger and clearer versions of the image online also. No such luck.

Could be Elita-1 as there were rumors that she would be apart of the Walmart exclusive Netflix line. Based on what they're currently using for that line, namely repaints of Siege figures, I don't see them trying to pass off the POTP Elita for that nor make one mold for one exclusive line and not reuse it.

Nice to see the BW Characters, even though I would have preferred they get their own trilogy after this one was done....I'll definitely be getting Tigatron as he was my favorite character in the series. I'm sad though it looks like we wont be getting Starsaber or Deszaurus. I guess it's up to , to see if we will ever get Selects of those characters. Speaking of which, I wonder how this is going to go over in Japan where BW was not nearly as popular.

Beast Wars is the final chapter of G1, so in a way it makes sense. Although, thematically, Chapter Two should have been Head/Targetmasters into Starsaber and the others. As the three specific points in time.

Beast wars was VERY popular in japan, with its own spin off series for all the toys that didn't appear in the cgi show, which is why BW megatron and Optimus re-appeared in later lines like robot masters.

Problem being is we very recently gotten updated versions of the characters from these lines (and still getting) I imagine that is why the skip to beast wars. though we are still missing some seriously key players there. gimme my starsaber and deathsaurus dagnabbit

Yes, there is a distinction to be made. Season One Beast Wars was popular in Japan. Metals/Transmetals, was not.

I'm quite familiar with BWII and BW Neo, I was at Botcon 1998 when the first 4 episodes of BWII were screened for audiences, and have since owned them on VHS, DVD imports from japan etc...

I enjoyed those shows, but in Japan they took a the original BW that was dramatically written and made it more for smaller children through their dub. It may have grown in appeal somewhat in the last 20 years, but I know for a fact it was not popular when it was airing.

... Honestly I'm speechless. I literally woke up and thought about which figures on my current Beast Wars shelf I thought could do with updates before remembering that it was just a leak, then I check here and see it's either someone going all out on a joke, or it's actually happening. And given this poster (which I kinda want to actually get as a real poster because of how good it looks ) leaked the day before Fans First Friday, I think we might get the reveal of the line tomorrow! Probably not, but a guy can dream, right?

Calling it now, the new Titan will be a Metroplex redo.

Exactly. This comes back to the point I made earlier, about cherry-picking characters. When a line such as this one is more appropriate to give context to that theme, it is obstructed from doing so. Fort Max was the only really worthwhile figure to come from Titans Return in the long term. Whereas Head/Targetmasters, represent a defining chapter of the G1 mythos. As such they would have been ideal for this trilogy.

Sigh...

Maybe someday we might even get a new Blue Bacchus to go with Black Shadow
