Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

Greetings Seibertronians! Following on from today's Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest, Seibertron.com us proud to bring you two new Event Galleries!

The first is screen shots taken from the Transformers part of the brand panel itself. This is a great way to go back over what you might have missed earlier. Included is the screenshot of the Fossilizer combiner, for you all to try out at home!

Included here is an handful of the images you'll find in the galleries!

Hasbro Transformers Brand Panel:















Official Transformers Product Images

















Was there any favourite moments from the live stream that we captured? Will you be building your own Fossilizer combiner?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Definitely pre-ordering Tracks and Rhinox and obviously Rodimus. Kind of like the Tricranius repaint. Love the red black and yellow magma color scheme. The effects parts are a good bonus.

I simply have no space for the Ark. Though I would buy a stand alone Teletran One if they made one.

Will wait for the Selects dark grey Galvatron.

Could not care less about the self transforming Prime. As Much as I collect Primes, this just doesn't appeal to me.


Tracks looks pretty good. A bit scrunched up at the front, but may just be the angle of the pics. Rhinox looks like Rhiinox, and I can complete the season 1 beast wars characters I wanted. Good.

Ill get Tracks, Galvatron and Rodimus on sight.. Still debating about the Ark. I'll eventually snag Rhinox I guess, Scorponok.. There is only one and he is a titan which I already own. The fossilizers easy pass for me as I haven't bought one yet.

I think you're forgetting how his car mode looked in the cartoon:

I'm thinking you might be misunderstanding the use of the term bonnet, as in the roof of the car, which is missing the autobot logo and yellow background since they went with a fake chest, and thus would require repro labels.

Maybe there's someone out there who wants the blast effects but not the figure you can split it with?

That would be me, but I preorded it. LOL

Welcome back to another episode of "I pay way more attention than Hasbro does too much attention to the WFC numbering system"! On today's episode: We've now seen every figure from WFC-K01 to WFC-K30...and then we jump to Tricranius as WFC-K39, meaning K31-K38 are unaccounted for. Theoretically 6 of those 8 numbers could be the Wave 4 figures, but Hasbro tends to put exclusives in a middle chunk of the numbering system and then end with the last retail wave, so those 8 are presumably exclusives (assuming Hasbro doesn't SKIP A NUMBER AGAIN).

In terms of exclusives that should be coming, we've had a mix of rumors/leaks for (not including the Golden Disc figures, in case they aren't numbered like the Galactic Odyssey sets):
-Sideswipe & Nightprowler
-Mirage & BW2 Skywarp
-Whatever the Kingdom 4-pack contains
-BW Grimlock? (He was initially rumored to come with Sideswipe, whether he's still in the cards we don't know)

If those 3 multipacks individually number the figures they come with (like the Siege Target exclusives & Fan Vote set), then that's all 8 figures. If at least one of them has one number for the whole set, not each figure (like the Earthrise exclusives), then we've for certain got exclusive figures coming we still don't know about.

So far so good. I'm really liking tracks but I wished that the back booster/missile rack was integrated into the car mode better.

I thought pterodactyls had tails while pteranodons do not. Looks more like a pteranodon, granted the crest isn't that big.

Wingfinger is definitely a pterodactyl (pterodactyl is Latin for 'wing finger', after all), a Pteranodon, and possibly even a female Pteranodon at that (due to the small head crest versus the generally larger crests you see on a typical Pteranodon).

Think of pterodactyl as a common name for all pterosaurs in general. To keep it simple....pterosaurs generally fall into two groups: rhamphorynchoids and pterodactyloids. The rhamphorynchoids are typically the ones with long tails (though not always) and teeth, while most pterodactyloids have short tails, and (in the case of the more advanced\derived species) are toothless.

So far to my knowledge, all Transformer toys\characters with pterosaur alt-modes are pterodactyloids, as pretty much all of them are based on Pteranodon (the exception being Beast Machines Skydive). Although...War for Cybertron Pteraxadon can be made to look much like a rhamphorhynchoid, if the axe handle is pulled out to act as a tail in pterosaur-mode.

Have Galvatron and the Ark on preorder with Amazon (really appreciate I can cancel at any time, plus free shipping is always nice),
and because I was given a move discount (which I thought I had already used), the Ark is just over $160, and Galvatron was $48.92. Both prices include tax!!
Tracks is preordered with Target, and the RedCard always comes in handy.

Even if I see any of these in a store first, it at least feels good to have them preordered...
Let's all hope that all of the preorder issues from this past fall and winter are truly in the past.

A little disappointed there weren't any reveals about future Leader Class Dinobots...
Hopefully sooner than later.

I'm actually disappointed there weren't more reveals. But maybe that's just today's reveals?

Oh Hasbro... with the Studio Series 86 series wave 1, you hired designers that love long chins for face sculpt (Cyclonus, Kup, Blurr). Then you hired other designers that love short legs for Kingdom wave 3 (Tracks & Galvatron)! what's wrong with you?

I didn't watch the end of the presentation so this is second hand information, but I saw a decent amount of people on TFW mention that the end of the presentation talked about a Fan First Friday in May. Good chance we see the Studio Series Dinobots there

Thanks! Good to know, and hopefully it's more than just word about Slag...

Also, went to just look at Rodimus on Amazon, and he's already sold out.
So is Galvatron! Looks like I preordered him just in time.
I wouldn't doubt if the Ark is next... I'd get on it people if you're interested! You'll have plenty of time to cancel if you change your mind!

I've heard there will be another FFF next month in May.

Edit: Ah, I see I was beaten by Autobot N lol

Love this detailed alt-mode explanations, thanks

I hope the fossilizer combiner also has some sort of alt mode configuration
That would be pretty Coolio julio

So the fossilizer combiner is easily the best thing to come out of this trilogy by far and I need it in my life now

And I know that new stuff just got shown off, and tricranius is metal as hell, but can we just talk about how airazor is just perfection? I'd swear that she has a higher parts count than scourge, just, so much love and work went into her, Warden has done bw justice

Hasbro Pulse sold out of a few newly revealed Kingdom Wave 3 items rather quickly, it seems like many don't think Rodimus is overpriced afterall. If you are looking for retail avenues, both Amazon.com and Target.com have the same items available on preorder. You can click the links to be brought there.

But isn't a Pterodactyl also a specific genus with a single species?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterodactylus

Just saw the stock images for Tracks and I am extremely frustrated.

Because instead of it being an actual improvement over the past figure, it just traded around which aspects were crap; the choices for a CHUG Tracks are: Crappy Flight Mode (2010) and Crappy Needless Faux-parts Robot Mode (2021). This is bullshit, they can do better, they have done better (even w/Generations limits), they should have done better. People are right to complain about that backpack, because Hasbro NEEDLESSLY PUT TWO THIRDS OF HIS CAR MODE ON HIS BACK INSTEAD OF JUST THE TAIL, SO THEY COULD GIVE US THE UGLY CHEST.

I'm writing to Hasbro and telling them to retool this bullshit if possible. Or if it's not, to fob it off as a different character to recoup money and try again. I would rather wait years for another shot at Tracks than get this halfassed trainwreck.

Between this bullshit and SS86 Hot Rod's needless faux parts chest, I think somebody on the design team needs to be demoted to copyboy.

Yeah, I know, I'm full of negativity anymore. I'm stressed, and my patience for A. Hasbro doing a poor job when they could have done a good job, and B. Whingy deluded fans calling things that Hasbro actually did do a good job on poor jobs... has worn thin. I'm also being increasingly anxious about whether Kingdom Roddy will be around Galvatron's height like he should be, or whether he's been ruined by the idiotic decision to try and scale his robot mode to the crappy undersize WFC Optimus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterodactylus

Pterodactylus (listed there in the Wikipedia URL) is indeed a genus of pterosaur (with one generally accepted species - Pterodactylus antiquus). However, pterodactyl is not a specific genus...but rather a common name used these days that refers to all pterosaurs (notice pterodactyl is spelled with a lower case p, while Pterodactylus is spelled with an upper case P).

I just meant a Pteradactyl in general, rather than a specific one like QuetzalcoatlUs. Doing a bit more searching, the short crest seems to point to a Pteranodon longiceps female? Except for that odd bone spur. Can’t remember if they said Wingfinger was male or female.

That is not brown. That is the color of charcoal or tar.

Rhinox is supposed to be caramel brown.
