Loving primal, loving dino megs.

Cheetor is o.k.

Cylonus is terribly mis transformed in Jet mode for some reason. Hands sticking out the back when they clearly fold into his forearms, and apparently the biceps should collapse into the shoulder to bring the jet mode together.

Definitely must get Paleotrex if only to complete Primal’s weapons.

Nothing on SS 86?

That is not a velociraptor.

Slight correction. Vertebreak turns into a fossilized dracorex, not a velociraptor. Im really loving all of these Kingdom reveals, even though I am probably only getting the predacons. I do wonder, though, if that flap is supposed to sit on Primals crotch like that. it just looks, out of place... :-?

Okay so maybe I missed something along this Kingdom Leak and reveal journey, but why are they giving a CORE class spot to Optimus Prime? Up until now, they've religiously followed a scale chart to making each character as true-to-scale as realistically feasible (although some nit-pickers will argue this with figures like astrotrain, etc), but now they're just randomly giving us a mini Optimus. I feel like there's got to be some sort of reasoning within the beast wars universe that would explain this, but I wouldn't know because, truth be told, I know Jack Squat about Beast Wars.

I'm excited for all the rioting Beast Wars fans who have been waiting for this line, but with a little self control I'll be passing on most of these since almost none of these aesthetics appeal to me. However I can't help but think the idea of having a shelf space dedicated to organic animalistic transformers is fun. But at the end of the day, I'm just really holding out hopes for the new Studio Series 86 Line reveals, they look pretty fantastic so far.

Also, the packaging for this Kingdom line is a nice refresh from Siege and Earthrise. Didn't expect them to make such a jump is design change. Looks fantastic though. Pretty sneaky how Hasbro is slowly minimizing the plastic window on the packaging to transition to no-plastic packaging in a couple years.

A core prime may have something to do with the Titan Class for next year, a certain Transforming Ark

I wonder why they chose Hades Megatron.

RED Arcee and Cheetor look cool.

Kingdom is looking great.

It could be a reference to the story in the Transformers Legends compilation novel from the early 2000's where in the last story a bunch of Optimuses? Optimi? Optimus? 4-ish OPs get together at Maccadam's to throw back some energon and destress about the conflict, and in this story the sizes for the G1 OP, Beast Wars OP, Beast Machines OP and the other version that I can't remember right now are based on the toys at the time with the original Beast Wars Optimus Primal being huge compared to G1 OP.

While he looks good overall, I continue to be unimpressed with Optimus Primal as a Voyager class figure. I don't care if it's more in-scale with Megatron. He should be a leader. I'll stick with my original 90s Primal, thanks.

I'm unimpressed by that gorilla mode.

I agree: he's similar to the Stygimoloch, or a juvenile Pachycephalosaurus. Not like it matters really, only the Jurassic Park toy lines seem to care (even if they got some genera wrong).

There isn’t a single thing here that isn’t completely awesome! I’m happy that we can finally get some modern/screen accurate Beast Wars that isn’t aren’t insanely high MP prices.

My only thing is Optimus Prime? Wondering why he’s a core class figure? I fully expected yet another retool of his Siege body but not this, especially since everyone else (the Bots and Cons), are in scale?

My theory is that (fiction wise), something bad happened to OP so he had to transfer himself to a smaller Maximal form? That would be sorta inline with how things happened in the show, albeit some weird reversal.

I think the core Optimus is more to do with the Titan Class Ark Transformer

I'll be refreshing the Galactic Odyssey hub on Amazon in another half hour or so. I don't have the Autobot clones so I'd like to get ahold of the Biosfera pack.

So do you think we'll be getting a core class Megatron to match?

And yeah I don't care for that gorilla mode either on Primal. Robot mode looks great though. Will that Hades Megatron be deluxe or voyager?

BW Megatron is tempting, but at $53, may still be a pass...
Cyclonus looks so good overall, can’t wait to get him!!!
And surprisingly, I like the look of the Autobot Clone 2pack.
I’m hoping BW fans are happy. Most of those figs look good.
Personally, I’m looking forward to more SS86 figures.

We were supposed to be getting a core Megatron :-?

In addition to official product images and other reveals from Hasbro PulseCon 2020, we took the liberty of making screen captures of the video panels to share with all of you in case you missed watching the actual video earlier today. The panel offers different official product looks of the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom products (as well as others) in addition to the products in-hand. During the Entertainment panel, the first War for Cybertron Earthrise trailer was shown which showed Bug-bite, Doubledealer, and the Conehead Seekers amongst others. Check out the highlights from the panel below and click on any of the images to view the full galleries. Admittedly, there's an excessive amount of images but there's a lot to see, especially with the in-hand shots. Enjoy!

Most do, but not all. That Primal's gorilla mode has some major issues.

I can't tell if Primal is wearing a gorilla fur kilt or his great ape butt is spun around to the wrong side a la Transmetal Megatron.

. . .

Also, has it been reported for the preorders on Hasbro's web page being up and active yet or have I scored another news credit. I just finished ordering the Prime Breakdown Jet Steve box. :DANCE:
