More images from Wonder Festival 2018, coming in hot! We have a large batch of photos featuring early-wave figures from the War for Cybertron: Siege toyline, coming both from @Chohenken on Twitter and from Dengeki Hobby.
Notably, while we saw painted prototypes at San Diego Comic Con, these displays appear to be composed of finished samples - meaning this is an even better impression of what the final toys will look like! Featured in the display are Micromasters, both Battle Masters revealed so far, Hound, Sideswipe, Cog, a gray-prototype Ultra Magnus (the odd one out not being colored), and way too many Optimus Primes. This is also further evidence of the continuing "brand unity" between Hasbro and Takara-Tomy, as the figures do appear to be identical between the two companies' lines.
Check out the images below, and share your thoughts in the Energon Pub Forums! And don't forget to stay tuned for more images from various toylines, as WonFes rolls ever onward!

What happened to Hound's opaque windows? Were those only from the stock CG renders, or is this sample different than the one at SDCC?

the SDCC were hand painted more or less figurines. Mock ups. Not sure why they painted the windows on those, but these are likely the first toys off the assembly line. Not quite rubber stamped with HasTak's seal of approval, but 98% of the way there.
personally, I am glad he has a windshield and not a blast shield.

Cog just keeps looking better and better to me. Though, that's probably me just being a sucker for Transformers that can be used as armor/weapons/power-ups for others while still having a separate vehicle mode unlike pure weapons-formers

It’s amazing how much better and appeasing these look when care is taken with transforming an posing them. I actually kinda want Optimus and I didn’t even want him before because he looks so much better!
I also dig the boxes for this line too.

You know, when I first saw Ultra Magnus had his Car robots Alt Mode I was head over Heels beyond thrilled. At last, he’s got an Auto Carrier alt mode that actually looks like its a thing. Sure, its his G1 bot mode. Sure, the trailer is a parts former. But its a GOOD Alt mode.
But I am starting to really cool off about it now. There’s no way I’m not gonna buy it, but I am starting to lean back towards “Maybe the CW Mags is the better figure. I do however like the Siege Magnus is gonna have 5mm hands so I can use the Dr. Wu hammer and gun that doesn’t quite sit.in CW’s hands right. I hope someone comes out with Blue Bolts for him. That was a SiCK weapons platform.
Prime’s red plastic looks thin. Maybe its just me?
Seeing Sideswipe again, he’s still a pass. And while I like what they are doing with Cog, he’s not a priority. I don’t have Max, so there’s that) Will wait for SixGun.
I AM however getting more excited for Hound. I am glad to see he has a windshield. And Ironhide looks like a lot of fun. I just hope we get a Ratchet.

I actually like Hound a lot more now with clear windows, but what happened to his box art head? How weird did things get in the concept stages before they settled on his G1 head?
Now for some backtracking. I forgot to point this out when everyone was trying to decipher the second poster and I'm surprised nobody else did. Check out who's hanging out in the background. It's nothing we didn't assume was happening, but it's nice to see:
Wheeljack, plus Red Alert again.
And at first I thought this was Ironhide, but the chest is all wrong so maybe it's Impactor who won the fan poll with Mirage. Doesn't seem quite right either.

I like the wear & grime effects even less, they are too convincing, the figures look like used toys.
Heh, and looking at the grey Ultra Magnus prototype all I can see is greeble.
But overall this line looks promising.

I'm so pleased to see (close to?) production items, they all look so much better to my eye than the protos seen last weekend. OP looks loads better, and Hound looks great.
I can't wait to see production Magnus! And closer views of the packaging - I like what I see.

I know it's a small detail, but come on! Can't they remember to paint that little blue square on Optimus Prime's...uh...pelvis? Cod piece? You know what I'm talking about. It's the one detail that's missing from an otherwise almost perfect paint job.
Also, what's up with both Takara and Hasbro coloring the vents on Optimus Prime's shins gray? What is that from!? It's not G1 toy sticker or paint detail, and it's not from the original cartoon either, but even MP-10 includes those gray shins for some reason. It boggles the mind.

Hound looks a lot better to me here, and Cog, well I was getting him anyway. Also love how someone posed one of the micromasters by doing the splits 
Still no cons though, I hope they are good enough to live up to the hype

Hound's feet/toes are green now 
On
's display and int he official images they are black which I prefer.
Maybe that's a difference between the and the 
release.

I don't want to burst the hope balloon here, but there is and will be no difference between the two releases since the unification of the companies. There may still be changes in paint though, before they hit mass release in September!
EDIT: I just realised... they.. they All have ankle tilts.

Yes, they said at SDCC that improved articulation, paintjob etc. instead of including an (active) gimmick to address collectors more.

I know. I was there.
I just hadn't fully realised that all the figures in the line (bar Micro and Battle Masters) had ankle tilts too.
That neither the hand painted Hasbro display from SDCC, not the Wonderfest Takara version might be the final retail version! Even official images can often be early versions of the final colour scheme, so either option is still valid, and we'll only know once they hit retail.

Optimus even has wrist swivels now unlike the PotP Leader. But I think no forward and backward ankle.Va'al wrote:I just hadn't fully realised that all the figures in the line (bar Micro and Battle Masters) had ankle tilts too.

As he's white for the most part I guess he's pretty good for custom paint jobs
Or use a Gundam Marker brush type (GM20 for example) and cotton swabs.

The new pics solidify Hound as a must, along with Sideswipe and Cog.
I really like the battle worn decos, just wish they used more of it.
The boxart is killer! love it.
I love how detailed the Magnus prototype is. I like busy designs like that.

Either use rubbing alcohol and a lot of rubbing
or just overpaint it. But do you really not want the weathering and battle marks?

D-Max gets it.
Va'al needs to get it.

Ugh, I really don't want that detailing to be a new standard. It isn't awful on everyone but Chromia looks chewed on :/

I get there are fans of that level of sculpted detail, I do. But at times the detailing just makes the figure look too busy. One reason I didn't like Studio Series Grimlock: simply too much. I guess it'll grow on me eventually with more figures following that train of thought.

That's why I like the movie toys so much, and especially Grimlock: the level and attention to detail.
And honestly, I'm very much attracted to the line because of the detail and battle paint. If we are truly going to do a "War" theme, both of those are great, it's why the movie toys, with the live action fierce brutal combat idea, attract me.
While I wish we were getting something close to the WFC/FOC games (especially if we could get a FOC Metroplex), the paint and detail are still good here, and in my opinion, a nice new refreshing feel.

Qwan really needs to see it in colored plastic before he decides.

You are not alone, man. I too would purchase this grey version in a heartbeat. Siege UM level of detail is so insane, I almost forgot this is a figure is way under $100 and not some premium statue which cost over 1K. I don't recall seeing this amount of greeble in any TF before. The nice thing about the grey prototype/ monotone figure is that you appreciate the detail more in contrast to colors.
As a huge armor UM fan, this is like a dream...especially when that dream is a reality. I can't wait to have him in my collection. Take that MP22!! *I love my MP22 by the way*

Every day I fall more in love with Cog. Playability and tactile-ness ("handfeel", as Vangelus would call it) is a big part of a good robot to me, and Cog seems packed full of it.
Regarding the level of detail... eh. Personally I think using flat space to break up detailing can go a long way. Some like sideswipe do it pretty well, some like chromia start to look like the death star. I think for once the way that paint and colour tends to mask some detail might be a good thing.
Speaking of paint though, that battle damage... if it were more consistent I'd potentially be on board. As it is, it kinda looks like Optimus' thighs were in a fight, but his shins got out unscathed*, making it seem a little forced. I'll wait till we see in-hand, finalised figures to pass proper judgement though.
*(a made-up example, I've not actually checked Prime's legs)

Well to be fair, greebles are less obnoxious on a 3d, physical figure than trying to decipher 2d art.

I get the feeling though that the mass retail Magnus may not look like that and the paint will obscure the detailing...though it's nice to see they put the effort in.

Exactly, I wanted to say too. That's what this much mass of greeble looks like sometimes. Not to mention the dust that will be collected in all those grooves.
But regardless, since I already have a "perfect cartoon-accurate" Ultra Magnus I'm looking forward to this one with its two gimmicks/features (White Convoy + RID truck.)
Optimus Prime aside, I still haven't decided if I'm gonna buy characters I already have though, shelf space an' all.
