I was hoping for an Ironhide, but at the Voyager scale. Looks like this guy is just Deluxe class. I wonder if he will at least be a little bigger in stature than the Universe 2008 Ironhide mold. Siege Ironhide does look good in robot mode, and I'll be sold if we get a Ratchet retool and redeco to go with him.
Unless Chromia does turn out to be Combiner Wars compatible, she's a hard pass. The Thrilling 30/TF Legends version is far superior. I don't need another member of Alpha Trion's Angels with the same body type either. Moonracer and Firestar are sufficient for that mold.
Hound looks VERY interesting. I'm digging that his alt mode pretty much looks like his old G1 jeep alt mode with a roof. It can easily pass as a mildly stylized Earth-based vehicle. His Universe 2008 mold still holds up quite well, though.
Ultra Magnus is a neat surprise, with his alt mode being decidedly Car Robots/RiD 2001 in style and using the original G1 "white Optimus Prime with armor pieces" gimmick. However, as I said a few pages back, I'm happy with the Combiner Wars mold, so this is also a pass.
All of the Battlemasters and Micromasters will be bought. No doubt about that. It's interesting to see that the Battlemasters won't strictly be "Targetmasters," but include melee weapons as well as guns.

Hm not really digging the style of these. Way too blocky for my tastes. It's cute seeing the Micromasters back though but each patrol seems to have lost half of it's members? I was quite fond of the Race Car Patrol back then but my fave was the yellow Lambo (free wheeler i think his name was) who isn't in that shot. Always did like the Battle Patrol's earthy tones too. I'd like to see Micromasters next to Legends/Legion figures though I suspect the Micros are a smaller scale going by their simpler look and obvious screw hole in the torso. Basically the old size but with more articulation?

So...who wants to translate the Cybertronian (or is it Japanese...I cant tell...) on Stakeout's Car Door, being so obvious this time around, I would hope it would not be something offensive to some, or at least it could be caught in time for Hasbro to make the change...

If you’re still wanting a Moonracer you can find her on eBay and Amazon for around $20 shipped if you are patient and check for a few days (the price fluctuates a little). HTS has her in stock sometimes for $17 but you’d have to pay shipping if you don’t order more stuff.

Trust me, with Hasbro's political leaning (as with all companies these days) they're not going to get a repeat of the MAGA Jazz any time soon. That one slipped under their radar and I bet the execs and important people are still kicking themselves in the balls that one of their figure had an endorsement for Donald Trump.
I'm pretty sure they now got people whose sole job is to doublecheck this shit rather than risk endorsing Trump by accident. The only reason this controversy got swept under the rug and didn't cost a shitton of $$$ for Hasbro is that compared to comics, movies or TV show the toys generate way less buzz in social media.

She is. But it doesn't make up for all the sacrifices that Elita-1's design had to make in order to combine. Just so that they could give us a Chromia, from a combining mold, that doesn't combine. It feels like a decision made with malice....

Everybody? He's about as Earthen as Optimus and Sideswipe (and most of the Micromasters). Chromia, Ironhide, and COG so far are the only ones that are truly Cybertronian looking.
Speaking of Magnus, I'm calling this now: 2021 retool in the third leg of War for Cybertron into RID 2001 Magnus for the 20th anniversary. I don't know exactly what that would look like, maybe scrap the inner white prime in favor of more parts to pair with a Leader RID Optimus with proper small bot and big bot forms and able to make Omega Prime. I don't think it's impossible.
Poor Chromia, once again a heavy retool of a figure from another Transformers line.
I hope Lionizer shares his mold with Catgut and that we may possibly get a Treadshot in the line (maybe a leader Shockwave retool, whatever he turns out like).

That's stupid as hell! But not surprising coming from Hasbro.
Yet they can keep the 5mm holes across all lines.
Well, back to my original plan, buy 2 more Moonracer's & make a custom Arcee & Chromia to go with Elita-1. I want another all female combiner.

For a mold that made so many weird and terrible decisions in PotP, chromia definitely ends up with a smoother alt mode than the previous two, but I don't see any reason to replace the old one with this one. I love Ultra Magnus. I think they found a good balance between weird cybertronian armored truck and something recognizable. Ironhide looks pretty good, Cog looks amazing.

Hound: I love the robot mode, but the vehicle mode is eh. i'd have to see it in person, or just get him at a discount
Chromia: Nice, but i'll pass, I have other priorities.
Cog: I have to get him for Fort Max and the whole "armouring up" thing
Micro Masters: I need every. single. one.
Ironhide: I like him.

Chromia isn't too bad looking ,but it's disappointing that she doesn't combine. Cog is a cool little guy and I love how many guns his alt-mode has. I defiantly can't wait to get Hound he looks real nice I like that he has what looks like a drum feed machine gun. His alt-mode is pretty rockin. Ironhide is awesome to put it simply anyway. Even though I have Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus I'll defiantly pick up this one as well. It is so cool that he comes with a white prime to armor up. Lionizer is sweet little sword. I'll proably give him too Sideswipe. I'm defiantly going to pick up all the Micromasters patrols. Hopefully will get the other half of team we all ready have.
But I have one question Hasbro
where are the Decepticons 
at.

Everything in this line looks awesome. Far better than POTP. I'm most excited for the micromasters and Cog, thank goodness I eventually got a For Max. Speaking of Cog, didn't each vehicle have its own name and the combined robot was Cog?

Magnus. They could have just repainted the optimus mold for the cab, so they only need to design new trailer. But no, they actually put extra effort and gives us different cab as well. And then homage it to RID 2001? Oh heck yea! Magnus is definitely on my list up there.

Hmmmm...I think I'm satisfied plenty with my Combiner Wars Magnus. I prefer the CW headsculpt and generally comic accurate body (less boxy). I also prefer having a Minimus Ambus over a white Optimus inside.
I'm conflicted on Ironhide. At first glance, I don't really like how tall the headsculpt is with the protruding crest (again, I'm a comics guy).
Sideswipe and Hound look excellent, and that Optimus looks like he could be THE Optimus my neo g1 collection has been waiting for. So far, I've been using the CW Prime, but this guy's proportions look so much better! I wonder how he'll look next to TR Megatron and PotP Grimlock.

Yes, that Magnus is definitely the cream of this crop. I will probably pass on the rest.
I'm still holding out hope that Hasbro has corrected their glaring oversight of no Skywarp and Thundercracker, and we'll finally get them from the deluxe Ghost Starscream mold.

And it looks like they still can, there's a clear division between the two halves and fake wheels in front of the treads on the rear half that forms the legs.
He breaks into a lot of little pieces, even just to change into his vehicle modes so he definitely can split up. Plus there's this picture where Sideswipe is wearing COG as armor.
The torso is a shield, his lower legs are being used like boots, and his upper legs and mid section connected to his back with the arms attached as guns over his shoulders. That's a lot of 5mm holes, I'm really looking forward to Sixgun now.
Oh, and I like what they're doing with the effect parts. Not so much the muzzle flashes, but the part that comes with Lionizer also being used on Sideswipe as exhaust flames.

I love pretty much everything about this line! The only negative thing it does is confirm that Power of the Primes is being well and truly cut off when this starts. I had hoped beyond hope that we could complete another combiner or two, maybe get the remaining Prime Masters with Pretender shells. Oh well. Here's hoping for some more combiners down the road (looking at you, Piranacon and Monstructor).

Good grief, is Hasbro trying to out-greeble Third Party now? All that excessive molded-in detail on Chromia and Magnus makes them look as shriveled up as prunes and raisins.

If there's one thing I don't like about this line, it's Ultra Magnus' front wheels. Too far forward and too large of a gap behind them.
Otherwise it's all good. And with the amount of partsforming they're trying to acclimate us to it seems like the perfect line for Omega Supreme.

Just in general. Unless they become part of the alt-mode, I just find them to be more of a nuisance than anything. Or some stupid gun sticking out of a car.

Is COG the Apex Armor?
I think this Magnus will be retooled into something like a Powermaster Prime that will combine with COG.
I'm actually pleased with all of these. Good job, Hasbro.

I was just going to comment that there is an awful lot of parts forming going on.
Personally, that's never been a problem for me, but it ranks high on the fan complaints list.
Right up there with backpacks!

Nope. He's Cog who can split into Gasket and Grommet and split even further into weapons and armor pieces that can be used by just about anybody in this line, hence his being a Weaponizer.Adimus Prime wrote:Is COG the Apex Armor?

Interesting. I completely disagree with you, primarily because they're alien robots who have been fighting a war for millions of years, so to me they're expected to have weapons.
I'm not a fan of them being incorporated into the alt mode as more often than not it doesn't really work.
But hey, you are the first person to say that about weapons so I had to inquire.

Six-Gun was part of the same rumors that mentioned Cog before the officiall SDCC reveal, so he's likely coming. No Slammer, Brunt, or Fasttrack listed in those rumors, thoughUltra Markus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Nope.

I just noticed that. While it's a bit of an eyesore, it's a small price to pay for a pretty good figure otherwise. And maybe there's a reason for the wheels being so far up. Maybe it was necessary to accommodate a possible combination with a future Optimus figure for a new Omega Prime. I would say it might be a slight mistransformation, but the stock photos have them the same way. So we'll see.Emerje wrote:If there's one thing I don't like about this line, it's Ultra Magnus' front wheels. Too far forward and too large of a gap behind them.

^My thoughts on this line.
Character-wise, I'm hyped for Cog and Ironhide, but everything else feels like a dead-end. Cog looks immensely fun, and I actually like the blocky look/alt-mode on Ironhide. But, yeah, that dead end... I have no attachment to the micromasters and doubt they'll release all the targetmasters needed to "complete" my TR figures. Especially with a slot already all-but wasted on an action master partner... I'll probably try at least one micromaster pair for sheer novelty. Who knows, maybe I'll start snapping them up for customs or scale play with Titans?
Optimus and the inner magnus look surprisingly nice, and I would get them if I didn't already have an even better Optimus and a classics Magnus. Much as I like the self-combining feature, I can't justify spending $50 on a replacement figure that is so inelegant and (to me) unappealing when compared with the CW one. I'm passing on almost every PotP leader, so clearly self-combining isn't essential for my collection.
The new visual direction is... interesting. It's like Beast Machines Megatron took over the design team. Chromia looks like some sort of spongy organ in vehicle mode, but is obviously trying to be as robotic as possible. I guess it's like bayformers, where there is so much small detail that larger design elements can get swallowed up... At least the "gritty" paint apps will make my early customs fit in The effect parts are pretty neat, but I'll never buy enough battle masters to use them well - especially if they only make 8 of them or something. Oh well?
Regarding the leaks for future figures, Six-Gun is a must-buy. I hope the deluxe-priced Prowl, Drift, Crankcase, and Barricade are for Siege, but highly doubt it. Crankcase from Hound, anyone? Zero interest in a leader Shockwave, sincerely hope that he and Jetfire are for Cyberverse and we have more slots open for more interesting characters, but again I highly doubt it. One of these days Hasbro has to get around to Star Saber and Deathsaurus, but it probably isn't today. The new springer (no way cyberverse has the budget for a real triple changer, or the guts to portray spinger as anything but) would have to be literally magic in plastic form to surpass the last one, and with the "everything and everyone is a cube" thing they have going on here, I don't see that happening. Also just realized Impactor could be a straight redeco of Ironhide. Hope that doesn't happen, but it would be quite a twist.
Despite all my gripes, some of these figures look stellar. Optimus looks great (awesome blend of toy and cartoon influences on the torso), Ironhide will be great to have, and the weaponizer Cog looks like buckets of fun.

People mention 'parts-forming' but I think the term is applied a bit too widely. The Deluxe and Voyagers, for example, still form a complete vehicle and robot even if you were to lose the weapon. Sure it would, perhaps, look a bit fugly in some case or at least empty but it's still functional.
Cog and Magnus still have a functional figure in there if you lose parts, as Cog seem like he can transform to his own altmode without having to be pulled apart and only gets pulled to pieces when he 'combine' with someone else. Magnus, meanwhile, still has a full cab robot if you were to lose the trailer.

While you're definitely right about Magnus, Cog is a "partsformer" all the way. You have to pop his arms out of the 5mm holes on his shoulders and into the ones on his robot mode chest to transform him. Actually, that seems like 50% of his transformation
