This is the day for first looks since we have not one but two new toys being seen for the first time. Both were part of that long list of exclusives found on Amazon Australia's page (which doesn't by definition mean they will be Amazon exclusives everywhere). The first is a retool of Pipes to homage the G1 Pipes European variant known as “Puffer”.
The second is an image of the leader Galvatron mold in a deco resembling (or attempting to resemble) when Megatron was being reformatted into Galvatron. That set was rumoured to come with many little accessories that scale with the Haslab unicron and we see all those accessories in the images including itty bitty figures of various characters and ships.

The iamges were shared across different areas online so if anyone knows the correct source to credit, let us know. But for now, here are the images of these two upcoming exclusive toys.

By the way this proves that the nemeses ships that come with Galvatron are not actually in scale with Unicron

They should of given us enough micro figures to fill up the spots in the Titan Ark , not just the Optimus Prime.

1.Grimlock
2.Slag
3.Snarl
4.Swoop
5.Arcee
6.Kup
7.Ultra Magnus
8.Springer
9.Cyclonus
10.Scourge
11.Hot Rod
12.Perceptor
13.A Seeker Maybe (Starscream) ??

Odd that Sludge was left out, unless he is in Robot Mode for some reason.

And Megatron on the right, his canon stands out.

Okay it's not just me then, I'm pretty sure it's the same head too but 98% of the TFW comments are people going "THE NOSE IS GONE, NEW HEAD" and I don't get it.

I'm not convinced they're the same. It's not just the nose, the eyes are gone, too. I'm zooming in on the picture and playing with the lighting and contrast and I can make out every detail in the head sculpt, but I'm just not seeing the eyes or nose. The overall head appears to be the same, but I wonder if it's made in two pieces and maybe they just replaced the eye section and plugged in the red vizor? It'd be really weird and very lazy if they just painted over the eyes in read.

None of these accessories are properly to scale with each other or to Unicron. I'm not sure how these scale with the Autobot shuttle with WfC Unicron, though I suspect Galvatron's guns are closer than the new Revenge accessory. Won't know for sure until they're all in-hand.

Any rumors on price for this set? I'd guess $75, but that's a shot in the dark. We may know as soon as tomorrow.

I don't think you are far off. It's over 100$ in CA ada so 75$ USD makes sense.

Unicron turns into a planet, nothing is in scale with him

That seriously puts the "Tron" in Galvatron. Can we somehow get a light-cycle Wreck-Gar?

Those tiny characters that come with Reformatting Galvatron are also in scale with Kingdom Ark, based on that tiny Optimus that comes with it.

Shame it's none of the pre-movie crew.

And yeah, $75 sounds right, but it could maybe even go as low as $62.99 seeing as how the Centurion Drone and Tricranius come with about the same amount of stuff for only $10 extra.

Sigh.
Well, let's hope some 3D printer artist is making the OG cast in miro form!

Wow that Puffer looks great! I'm excited for it.

If Wreck-Gar had been reformatted as well, that's exactly what he would have looked like.

Personally, I don't see the point of this deco, I don't recall Galvatron looking like that in the reformatting scene. I just remember a lot of horizontal lines. But it's been a while since I've seen the movie.

The Dinobots and Perceptor did at least live at the Ark on Earth, prior to the movie.

He doesn't. Horizontal lines is what I remember too.

Yeah, but they're more like passengers than crew. I sure wouldn't want the Dinobots on the bridge.

Galvatron looks awful, not much they can do to rescue that figure but I want it for the little guys and the other bits. Hopefully sludge is in there then it can be the comics dinobots protecting the arc when it crashed.

So I got Commander Rodimus today, how long should I leave the trailer open and loose for the plastic to "correct" itself? I already tried closing the trailer and it wouldn't stay together at all. There's also quite a bit of loud plastic snapping moving the back section and ramp around.

I left mine closed overnight after I first opened it and that seemed to help. Getting it to completely close was the tricky part. When closing it, make sure the grey parts are snapped into the sides. This will probably still leave a gap at the top when you try to close it. Once I got it that far, I used both hands to hold it closed at the top. After holding it that way for about a minute, I let go and it stayed in place. Then I left it overnight. Now I can get it to close pretty easily. Bumping it does sometimes make the gaps re-appear, but it can be easily closed again.
