Check out in the official render images below the classic line-up of Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Refraktor (Reflector, with some changes to its alt mode to become what looks to be Shockwave's gun), and Starscream, the leader of the Seekers in his Tetrajet mode. Take a look below, and join the discussion!
This morning, during Hasbro's Transformers panel, a bunch of brand-new baddies were revealed from the War For Cybertron: Siege line: Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Refraktor, and Starscream (yes, actually Starscream, not Blitzwing.)
The designs all take cues from the classic Generation 1 aesthetic, but with some modern retooling. For instance, Megatron has an all new Cybertronian tank vehicle mode.
This lineup will be hitting stores early 2019, as well as HasbroToyShop.com.

Thar Reflector, hot diggity damn!
Whelp, that Shockwave just nullified any need for the large Cyberverse one.

I still don't know what Soundwave transforms into but I will probably buy it.

looks like the same bot we have to buy thee times. Each of them comes with 1/3 of the scope and stand.

Kudos on the design, terrible idea on the packaging. Assuming they are Deluxe, and normal wave distribution with only 2 per case...

the tetra jets look a bit less imposing with their blunted out nosecones...
think what they did with shockwave and the weapon gimmicks is pretty good.
now if only they gave TR sound wave those g1 style weapons

Soundwave looks ok i guess if you like Soundwave. Alt-mode looks like junk though but preferable to a tape deck at least.
Megatron looks decent. Pass on the sword but it looks like it's got the gun turret inside it so looks necessary for alt-mode annoyingly.
Reflector is and always will be a stupid concept but if you're gonna buy it then i suppose that looks the best way.
Starscream doesn't do it for me at all. Was never fond of the G1 seeker bot form anyways but that cybertronian jet isn't my thing. (hey at least it looks cybertronian though, unlike certain autobots vehicle forms)

I'd assume legend class. Still that puts us at least $30, which I'll gladly pay. A three pack would simplify my life though.TF-fan kev777 wrote:william-james88 wrote:mordhelm wrote:So reflector definitely looks like 3 bots in Camera mode.

So what size is Shockwave without the armor, Voyager?

I have no problem with the price on buying 3 of them. I think the problem is going to be finding 3 of them unless Hasbro sends a solid case of them instead of mixed with others. Plus, there is no legends class in Siege.

I'm assuming he's voyager size with that silly backpack crud to make it Leader costs.

Megatron doesnt look a vast difference to the TR figure to justify a buy, other than having him being different to a blitzwing repaint, but nah, money saved.
Reflector hell yes,
Shockwave, I really like the spaceship mode on this one (reminds a bit of SDF-1 and japanese anime in general, especially how robot mode can use the platform) so it will likely replace my energon shockwave as my 'toy' display version.
Starscream, looks a bit of a mess on his undercarriage but picking up either way as it's different from the classics and the POTP and CW versions were very easy passes for me. In robot mode it looks hard to tell that it doesnt turn into a G1 Jet rather than a G1 Tetra Jet.
As choosey as I'm over this line, Hasbro is doing pretty well so far.

I often see the car part of Battletrap selling in stores without the helicopter guy (I can't remember the indiviual names they've been given) to be found at all.

May or may not get Megatron if I may or may not get the Prime. I dunno. This line's not doing it for me generally.
