Upper Right: Moonracer or Elita-1
Lower Left: Slash
Lower Right: Swoop
Three are Wave 1 figures, while Moonracer and Elita-1 are Wave 2, according to the leaks, and usually the first one or two waves are shown off at conventions.

That's why I said leg and not foot.
Unless Elita-1 has green legs and pink feet now.

Great, another instance of the dress...
I looked up the leaks, and the design is definitely more like Moonracer's than Elita's. The latter's are more blocky.

And god, I hope this line gives that team a new, better name than 'female Autobots'. As team names go that's about as creative and unique as the G2 tech specs.

That would be a much needed change and hopefully the name has nothing to do with gender like Valkyries or Amazons.
Maybe reuse the The Cybertron Defense Team name from the Cybertron cartoon/toyline since Elita's has always been a Cybertron resistance team if my memory is correct.

Their combiners mostly for examples there are the Dinobots (Yes they are combiners), Elita-1 and her chumps (Yes they are combiners as well and Elita is a retool of Starscream) and the Terrocons with a few other characters like Jazz and the Decepticon Powermasters as deluxes, the Leaders such as Hot Rod are kind of like a deluxe that combines with a trailer to make a leader for some "evolution gimmick" such as Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime.
Replacing Powermasters are the Prime Masters that are basically the 13 Primes as Titanmaster retools but their engines/sparks instead of heads now although they can still be used as Headmasters, this isn't everything but I'm trying to give s brief summery you can find pictures on the net if your interested.

Now on to the speculation part, I believe the leg in the 2nd pic is Blackarachnia, and the leg in the 3rd pic is some kind of raptor, hence why the foot has a hook like claw, so maybe Slash or Dinobot(beast wars). But can't wait till September 8th to find out.

Stoked to see the neo-Dinobots that combine. Also hope to see the Predacons and Terrorcons as I'm a sucker for the beasts and also the micro-Pretenders as I've finally re-aquired Bugly after having to sell mine off over 18 years ago.
2018 is expected to be an expensive year for me.

Edit: forget that, didn't see the pronounced claw. Your right, it has to be slash

Divebomb, or any of the individual Predacons getting art would be quite a surprise, really. The CW Devastator set only had art for the big guy, it could be repeated for Predaking.

This sounds freaking amazing Mr. Deadput.
I'm super psyched about Power of the Primes!
Classics/Generations was a good start with some great figures.
Combiner Wars is pure love.
Titans Return is amazing G1 goodness with awesome headmasters all over.
The new line is just take my money and I need to buy a house to store
all the new Transformers.
Nothing but amazing in my eyes, no complaints.
Just one tiny request: War for Cybertron Slipstream retool/remold of one of the figures with a game accurate head please.
That's all I can think up

Nope, it is, if it's Hasbro's.
A mock up is a non colored resin type figure you see in them old JP Mooks
Nope, that's a hardcopy or a gray model.
like the orangey gray Fortmax back in the 80s.
Nope, that was a test shot.
This item is more of the sofubi type figs.
Any company making a sofubi that low on detail would be ashamed of itself. Assuming it's official this is definitely a mock-up showing proof of concept, probably 3D printed by Hasbro's design team. HasCon is going to be literally outside Hasbro's front door so expect them to display a bunch of stuff like this.
Even in the rumour section, GET IT RIGHT!
It's cute how angry you get over things you don't understand yourself.

Hasbro should bring back that concept and discard the "teasers" and "reveals" concepts because its a total failure.
I for one loved the catalogues from the original series...but Hasbro is too cheap, it would mean many extra pages of paper. It's bad enough they've gone from glossy paper to card stock on their instructions. Unfortunately I don't think we'll see the glory days of the annual product in a catalogue ever again.

I know how you feel I'm so pumped for power of the primes.

Now do the same with Scorn and Nitro Zeus!!
Power of the Primes is looking to be a great line. I'm wondering what they will do with the Cybertron Resistance and Dinobot teams for the combined forms. Totally unprecedented really (Beast will not count for the dinobots). Although, if the Cybertron resistance (using it for the ladies) team combines, it will be the 2nd female combiner. man, we are moving along here!
Though, with the idea that they want to release the entire team in the same wave, where will Jazz, Dreadwind and Darkwing fit in? Wave 2 that is sort of random?
Posted by Albatross250 on September 5th, 2017 @ 11:12am CDT
This time iit's Snarl and HUN-GRR?
Well, to be honest, Hun-Grr got some designs on this pic
Same old Snarl, but he's now carrying a HFG and a Combiner peg

Actually, I think they are doing the exact opposite. None of the teams will be released in the same wave. And in the case of Jazz and Dreadwind/Darkwing, we might be waiting until waves 5 and 6 just to complete them.

I'm pretty sure that Slash's inclusion in the Generations line has less to do with him being a *beloved* character in the AoE line, and more to do with...Hasbro wanted a random 6th Dinobot, Legends class size. They could have went with any number of character names, or created a new one. Personally I think Sling (the Dimetrodon) would have been an awesome choice but...Raptors since JP and all that...

I'm not even saying he is a beloved character, just that a new character has made the crossover, such as Lockdown with his various incarnations, Lugnut, and Bulkhead

Lockdown, Lugnut, and the modern portrayal of Bulkhead all originate from Animated, but later crossed over to other lines, so just any line moving over to any line.

It took a few months after CW first came out for UW to be announced. I am Hopeful that if is going to continue UW, or do UW 2.0, or whatever, that something will be announced around end of the year would be my best guess...

All I can say is TakaraTomy will not pass on an opportunity to release Abominus, Predaking and the Dinobots in some shape or form. Actually, that goes for all main mold-use toys, really. The question is merely how. Dreadwind and Blackwing will probably be released in Legends as Buster and Hydra, combiner pegs be damned.

Yeah, I was counting on Buster and Hydra, hopefully in a 2-pack. The uw sets were beautiful and I really hope they keep the spirit of them intact, even if they call them something else
