Also from the combination of Japanese toy bloggers and outlets Dorumen on Twitter and snakas, we have some more images from the 58th All Japan Hobby Model Show, this time focusing on the Takara Tomy Tranformers releases of the War for Cybertron: Siege line of toys.

Specifically, we get another look at Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, with Sideswipe and Cog, plus the Battle Masters SG-01 Firedrive and SG-02 Lionizer, and the SG-03 Micro Master Race Patrol (Roadhandler and Swindler). Some of this latter selection will apparently make it onto the market in February 2019, according to the labels on the display. Check it out below!

Smashdown
Pteraxadon
Starscream
Soundwave

There is also listings for previously rumoured figures:

We'll hopefully be seeing these toys very soon, so till then stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

To me T30 really was the wreckers line since it was the first time since G1 that we finally got an origial mold for Springer, Roadbuster and Whirl, all 3 whom I associate the most with the team (along with Kup of course).

So are we just pretending this didn't happen?

Sure, there's a lot wrong with these, but it was an entire wave devoted to the Wreckers at retail (plus a club exclusive Ironfist) and did give us our first Impactor toy in 2013.

Just a beautiful line. Love the battle damaged paint effects. Sweet alt modes. Will pick up Sideswipe for sure. Favourite colour is red. One of the many reasons that I love the Canadian flag ;)^

I just happened to be digging through some of my archives (boxes in the basement) and came across a couple of these yesterday and the only thing memorable about this set were their weapons.

Those weapons make anyone using the excuse that a DJD
Set would be "too violent" sound silly!

Well despite Hasbro being better at locking down information after the PotP gaffe, it seems like we pretty much have the full list of Voyagers in Siege.

Prime
Megatron
Starscream
Skywarp
Springer
Soundwave

I am assuming Thundercracker isn't far behind. Even without him, this could potentially point to 4 full waves across the board, or at least less repacks in wave 4, with the typical stock pattern being 2 voyagers per wave.

Deluxes still have quite a bit to be revealed. And is anyone else woondering at what scale (if at all) the cassettes will be coming? Could be 2 packs at the deluxe price point. Two packs at Micromaster point. Hell they could be Battlemaster size (though unlikely given the "not forcing gimmicks" quote from the team). Or they could just say they alreasy completed them at the right scale in Prime Wars and the Bee Target exclusives (sans a few outliers).

I was just thinking about that last night and I'm leaning towards them releasing them at a micromaster price point like they did with Fall of Cybertron. If they do, I just hope they're better than those figures in terms of articulation and proportion

Thundercracker is among those listed. It's just Skywarp who's not. As for the cassettes, I think we'll get an answer when we see Soundwave. It might have been better to do him at leader Class again but have him Voyager sized and come already with his minions... Or at least a couple of them. Question is, will Blaster be a retool?

I'm not expecting Soundwave's minions to look like cassettes since they doesn't fit with the Cybertron theme and we just got the core group in similar modes in TR. I would really like to see Wingthing and Ratbat Battle Masters, though.

I would also bet money that TR Soundwave will be better as a lamp post than the Siege version, in which case TR would hold up better for G1 Cybertron, but only time will tell.

Don't need a new Voyager Springer and it is hard to see how it could be topped.

Topped or dropped, this one'll probably be more directly based on the 1986 design instead of the awesome IDW updated design.

Since we're talking about Soundwave, what do you think his alt-mode is gonna be? My money is on him being a triple changer like his original WFC counterpart where he has a truck like vehicle and Cybertronian boombox, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't
Re: More Images of Takara Tomy Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege Line (1986908)
Posted by AcademyofDrX on September 30th, 2018 @ 12:08pm CDT
Respectfully,the WFC Soundwave toy was not a triple-changer and did not have a boombox mode. Maybe you'll be able to use the power of your imagination to turn Siege Soundwave into a boombox just like some did for WFC, but I wouldn't bet on Hasbro giving much of an assist.

I think he was just referring to the in game design, rather than the figure itself.
Re: More Images of Takara Tomy Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege Line (1986911)
Posted by AcademyofDrX on September 30th, 2018 @ 12:41pm CDT
The question to answer before we get to that is "What will the tie-in media for WFC:Siege be?" It would make sense for IDW's reboot to take us all back to Cybertron, but it doesn't look like they have scheduled an announcement at NYCC.

Yep Thundercracker, my mistake. If blaster is a retool, then maybe that is the answer. Blaster and Skywarp to finish the voyagers. My guess is Blaster and Skywarp as exclusives or special editions, and the rest are:

W1 OP and Megatron
W2 Starscream and Soundwave
W3 Sprinkler and Thundercrapper
EX Blaster and Skywarp

I tend to agree about the leader class soundwave with minions idea. That was my hope tbh. Could have scaled them a little bigger than the battlemaster size with more articulation and given us The main 4 (Rumble Frenzy Laserbeak and Ravage). Though maybe they will two pack the minions (adding Buzzsaw and Ratbat to round em out).

Since there's going to be a new Springer, I'm reeeeeaally hoping for a new Sandstorm. Hopefully if they do release one, he wouldn't just be a retool of Springer this time, but rather a new mold.
