Official Images for Transformers Siege Toyline with Ironhide, COG, Lionizer, Micromasters and More! #HasbroSDCC #SDCC2018

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.

Chromia would be my pick of the bunch. Lets hope she doesn't get short packed like Moonracer did. Still never found that figure

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 the thing I read on Twitter was right, it just says police.

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.

It says, "I'm with Her."

I'll go out on a limb and say they'll be later waves.

Everything is offensive to someone these days.

I'm offended by that statement (j/k)...but I was hoping it read "Holi" as a little nod to the Japanese characters name.

Clearly it says Hashtag Not My President.

Man, is every writing of Cybertronian on a figure going to get people paranoid that it's some coded message?

For Some people it's Paranoia, for me, I'm just trying to save Hasbro some $$$, and avoid having to see stories about this blow up all over the fandom

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.

Below you will find the official images for:

Hound

Battle Master Lionizer (who was Action Master Rad's weapon)

Micromasters two packs Battle Patrol, Race Patrol, Rescue Patrol.

COG - Weaponizer partsformer

Ironhide

Chromia (who does not combine)

Leader class Ultra Magnus, which is a White Prime cab with armor

Which of these do you like best? Let us know!

Then WHAT. WAS. THE. F___ING. POINT. IN. EVEN. USING. THIS. MOLD.

Everything else looks pretty cool, though. And that's coming from someone that would prefer Transformers don't come with weapons. Those firing effects are going DIRECTLY into a ziplock bag.

Well, she's at least visually consistent?

Where is the confirmation that she does not combine?

Skritz wrote:Well, she's at least visually consistent?

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....

No need to fucking self-censor yourself, that's what the fucking word filter is for.

Weapons in general or weapons that shoot stuff that's easily lost/choked on?

Sabrblade wrote:So, uh... What's Magnus doing with an Earthen altmode while everyone else gets Cybertronian ones?

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).

Chromia doesn't combine? Are you sure? Why would Hasbro bother to remove that feature? Looking at both modes it doesn't look like it's necessary to remove it.

Presumably for the sake of a 'clean start': no gimmick interaction with the previous trilogy.
