They mistransformed Ultra Magnus in the stock photos, as is tradition. They forgot to flip the front panel of his pelvis around for super mode.

OMG you can give airrazor a Hawk head! Lmao thats awesome
Dinobot looks great, though the bright colored tip of the tail is a bit strange haha. So great though to finally have a good dinobot
Not interested in magnus but the new head sculpt is nice!

wow that magnus does not look great, glad I got the rid homage that's actually good

Airazor looks really good in both modes, I can't wait to get one! Granted the perching stance in bird mode looks a bit awkward, but I realise that bird Transformers are difficult to get right, and it doesn't ruin the rest of the figure by any means. Dinobot's robot mode is fantastic, but I'm really not keen on the raptor mode. I'd probably like Ultra Magnus a lot more if there was more retooling to make it distinct from the Seige version, like retooling the trailer so it can actually fit a couple of cars in there, but as it is I'll likely just keep my Seige Magnus and skip the new one.

I love Dinobot and Airrazor, but does anyone else kinda feel like their eyes in beast mode look kinda... Soulless? Like, overall I think they look good (Dinobot's broken wrists not withstanding), but the eyes just feel off

Earlier today, IGN revealed 3 new upcoming War for Cybertron Kingdom toys. This time around, they revealed Deluxe Class Airazor and Voyager Class Dinobot as well as Leader Class Ultra Magnus. Airazor and Dinobot, both previously from Beast Wars, are new tools. Ultra Magnus is an "Earth-mode" retool of his previous SIEGE toy. These products will be available for pre-order at most major retailers starting on Thursday December 3rd, 2020 at 1:00pm EST. Stay tuned Thursday for pre-order links. In the meantime, check out the images below that we mirrored below from IGN.

WFC-K14 Deluxe Airazor

The WFC-K14 Deluxe Airazor stands at 5.5 inches, and converts into a Beast Wars-inspired falcon in 22 steps. Airazor comes with 2 photon blaster accessories that connect to the figure's wrists, and its falcon mode features articulation for the wing, beak, and tail feathers. The approximate retail price for the figure is $19.99.

WFC-K18 Voyager Dinobot

The WFC-K18 Voyager Dinobot stands at 7 inches, and converts into a Beast Wars-inspired raptor in 28 steps. In raptor mode, it features articulated claws and a posable jaw. In Dinobot mode, the tail detaiches to become a Cyber Slash weapon. The approximate retail price for the figure is $29.99.

WFC-K20 Leader Ultra Magnus

The WFC-K20 Leader Ultra Magnus stands at 7.5 inches, and converts into a G1-inspired Earth armoured truck in 12 steaps. Alongside a blaster accessory, parts from the truck trailer can be used to armour the figure. The approximate retail price for the figure is $49.99.

Nice, I'll soon have Magnus triplets with truck butt :lol:

Airrazor looks fantastic, and possibly the best birdformer since Energon Divebomb. Whether she dethrones him from his feathery throne remains to be seen, but she looks excellent regardless.

Dinobot also looks great; not perfect (the raptor mode's mammaries are somewhat amusing) but considering the pricepoint he's quite something. I'd argue in some ways he's more impressive than the MP in managing to look good in both modes with far less panel-massaging pain and almost no faux-parts.

Ultra Magnus though, I think I like the Siege version better. The separate truck mode is massively disappointing and very bland without the big blue "ramming prow" and in general he just doesn't look great without the Cybertronian flair.

Airazor looks pretty great, definitely want to get her

Dinobot looks awesome. The chest situation in raptor mode is uh......distracting, but not a deal breaker.

Hmm. It's gonna be tough to choose between Siege and Kingdom Magnus. I'm buying figures mainly to display on robot mode, so the Kingdom version looks better without the greeble, and I also like the truck mode better. But that smaller robot looks atrocious. I'm guessing the trailer/armor is the same, only the small robot/cab got reworked.

The trailer has been modified, but only slightly. It's not that obvious unless you have Siege Magnus next to him.

yeah the sides are way more open, there might be more but that's the first thing I noticed

Magnus looks mistransformed in nearly all his modes in the pics, not sure what the protrudey things are ment to be on the cab either.

Airrazor not sure of the four rectangle tabs/gaps on the back of bird mode unless a Magnaboss is in the works, other than that slightly spoiling the looks pretty sure I'll be picking her up.

Dinobot and his two Kate Winslets...I mean floatation devices is a thing, the way his dino arms are posed are pretty bad, might need some adjusting. Like SS86 Grimlock hes missing dental work lol they both must have been smacked in the gob at some point. For all its flaws I might have to pick him up but some of the photos are eye watering bad from belly chuckles.

*the mistransformation on dinobot in one of the photos having hollow legs on the outer -sheesh who transforms and takes these photos

Guess that was just a trick of the light, since it's a solid plastic colour afterall.

By the way that small white magnus looks terrible. While I get that the alt mode wasn't G1 accurate the first time, the blue front of the vehicle made the white robot look better since that part looked like added kibble rather than the small robot having a backside with lots of reach. There's a lot less retooling than I imagined, it's really just the front half of the cab (two pieces).

Also, holy mistransfrmation Batman!

LOVE airrazor!!!!!! And Dinobot too.

That airrazir has sold me on the whole line

Kingdom Dinobot unfortunately has the same missing teeth syndrome as Studio Series 86 Grimlock. :michaelbay:

They are to insert into the holes in the back of his super mode chest.

I really like Dinobot however I'm not a fan of the glaring gold hips / upper legs sticking out in front of the beast mode chest. As much as I want an accurate robot mode Dinobot, I think I would have been OK if his upper legs were the same color as his beast mode skin so that when in beast form it wouldn't look so jarring. I'd want to see a mockup to be sure, just feel like in this case the robot mode looks great, just think the colors could have been modified a little bit. That or something to cover up that part of the legs in beast mode would make it look so much better.

Still a great figure though. I think they pulled this off better than the $250+ Masterpiece figure did (which I still think was way too big).

Another awesome set of figures. The Kingdom line is looking better and better.

Huh. I would have thought we were all "curious" about all of them. But, whatever. We eventually got them all.

HOLY HANDGRENADES that Dinobot and Airrazor are awesome =P~

must have. will definitely preorder these. Just not from target or Walmart. :-x

I think Dinobot looks pretty good, better then the original boy, except for the dino hands. For lack of a better phrase, they look limp-wristed. IT would have been better if they hand them looking mor elike they were positioned for an attack or anything else.That 90 degree angle looks aweful
