New Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy Banner Teaser #HasbroSDCC

Posted by Va'al Jul 7, 2018 at 6:10am CDT 41,572 views
Also in some more San Diego Comic Con 2018 news, we have a short clip from the official Instagram account for Hasbro Transformers, featuring brand manager John 'Hasbro' Warden listing off the contents of the Thursday panel with the company - as previously reported in this story here.

The added piece of speculative news is that Warden is talking in front of a banner that seems to contain the War for Cybertron new logo and graphics, including a first line ending in -GE (as well as a -GY at the bottom, probably standing for 'trilogy'). Take a look below for yourselves, and speculate away in the Energon Pub as to what -ge ending word this first part of the new series might be: Siege? Rage? anything else entirely? Let us know, and stay tuned for our coverage of the event later this month!

Scrounge of Cybertron. The rise of it's greatest hero and his special arm. :)

I hope, and assume that what this means is that instead of what the original IDW did they are rebooting things post Unicron, and starting with the war on cybertron, with an accompanying toyline.

Speaking of which, I wonder how many WFC/FOC reissues we would get? Either as part of the main line, or as something-or-other exclusives? :-?

My guess is probably around zero? :lol:

Yeah they've gone out of the way to say it's got no connection to the games and I would bet that idw reboot is going to be sharing a lot in common with this setting and toy designs.

Its not like we'll ever see the toys in the UK unless we order from Kapow or BBTS anymore anyway... Image

I'll probably jump back on with War For Cybertron. I skipped the whole Combiner\Titans\Prime trilogy. I started to quite quickly feel like I was getting characters I wanted, but with gimmicks I really didn't, so I stayed clear.

You know, that might actually be a very good guess. ;)^

It kind of made sense to me

Certainly would be cool to have stuff focusing on the start of the war. Shame they ended up releasing the first G1 Sentinel Prime toy during Titans Return as releasing him during a line with such a theme (if it is true) could have been a good way to build some hype.

I think the first line is different. The font is too big to fit Golden Age above War For Cybertron, if we assume they're the same length. From the way it looks, the word ending in -GE is only 5 or 6 letters long. I think Va'al might be onto something with his guess of "Siege." It is a form of battle in war. My first guess was "carnage" but that might be too long, and I don't think Hasbro would put that on a box for a kid's toy.

It's also a trademark that Hasbro recently used, why use it only once? ;)

When did they trademark and use siege?

I had made the same guess, but came to the same conclusion, it just doesn't fit the font size. It seems like they're going back to the Unicron Trilogy naming convention and using one-word titles (Armada/Energon/Cybertron). Transformers: Siege does make sense in that way, as does Rage. I'm sure we'll know in about a week.

I think he just meant the single word by itself, since the logo in the video has the "-GE" a the end of the series name.

Normally they can't trademark single words like that, but Hasbro has been known to recycle parts of old trademarks for newer ones.
