Wave 1 Prime Master Cloudburst and Micronus
Wave 1 Deluxes Slug and Swoop (silhouette)
Wave 1 Voyager Grimlock
Wave 1 Leader Optimus Prime (with Deluxe Orion Pax)
Wave 2 Deluxes Snarl and Sludge
Titan Class Predaking silhouette
There is also a cool shot showing the ecosystem with the Prime Master and it is there that you can see the new combiner hands (on the deluxe's chest) and feet (attacced to Grimlock's forearms). Also, since this means that each combiner, like Volcanicus, will now have an extra pair of combiner hands, you can see in the grey model how those extra hands are used to fill out the combiner's torso.
Enjoy!

& the TR PMOP retool(will it still have the base mode ) as G1 Prime looks ok, although weird how we're getting Orion Pax with it instead of Roller(but maybe the Takara Tomy release will give us one )

OP is not a retool, there isn't a single piece on what is shown that is the same as on PMOP, except maybe the wheels. Shared engineering is a possibility, but we would need to see the inside of the trailer to confirm that.
And exactly where to you get the idea that Roller should have been included instead of Orion Pax. The whole gimmick for Leaders is evolution. Did Roller ever evolve into Optimus Prime?

The gun placement on Prime in Vehicle mode is...Odd...The robot mode looks amazing, but I'm thinking he is going to have a "thick back" like Rodimus Prime (in fact that may be the case of all leaders)...I can see how some of the engineering form TR PMOP could be seen in this new version, especially with the plates that form the top of the trailer folding in half under the arms etc.... but it still is a new toy.

Why?Kurona wrote:words can't express how much I love Slash.
I'm impressed by Optimus's leader mode, even if I think the truck mode looks hideous. I might pick him up just to keep him in combined robot mode.
As for the Dinobots, I like them as well, but will probably only pick up the original 5. My only gripe is that Sludge is a deluxe. He should be at least a voyager. If they downsized him for the sake of the combiner, they should have just made Slash the 4th limb instead and left Sludge by himself, or had him be interchangeable with Grimlock as the torso.

She just looks great, and these pictures showed something in particular I love -- the Dinobots have kept the transparent stuff they had on their original toys; like Swoop's lower jaw. And Slash goes along with that theme by having the top of her head be that same transparent stuff, which looks great and is just an awesome attention to detail
Plus, new character! I love having new characters

Prime Masters:-
Cloudburst
Legends:-
Beachcomber
Slash
Deluxe:-
Jazz
Swoop
Leader:-
Optimus
Only counting officially revealed stuff and nothing leaked because, well, while I believe those leaks; at most all we have are blurry jpegs of what those revealed to us. And most of them were just placeholder art. Assuming the figures they revealed goes well then this list will be much bigger, but until I see more... this is my want list
Slug, Dreadwind and Darkwing also look pretty cool but not as high a want as these guys.
Posted by Rodimus Prime on September 8th, 2017 @ 1:07pm CDT
Huh, you're right, I missed that. I'm actually excited to learn what the character's back story is, if she will be given one. And I might change my mind and pick her up along with the other 5.Kurona wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Why?Kurona wrote:words can't express how much I love Slash.

And yes, I wish Swoop's chest was red as well, even though I also prefer blue. But red is... I don't know, just right. It's what he had in the comics.

I've always been a blue swoop kinda guy myself though, so he's ticking allllllll the right boxes. Insta-buy right there.
Loving the new approach to HFGs too- having armour and PM integration avoid them being useless on their own, and the feet especially look so much better this time around
Slash is wonderful and makes me incredibly happy
And this isn't half of the (expected) reveals for this weekend! Nitpick as much as you like (I know I will in time), you can't deny we're spoilt rotten.
EDIT: just noticed how much voclanicus' face resembles grimlocks current IDW/mtmte design-wise the crest not so much but the jaw/cheekbones in particular. Beautiful touch, love that kind of easter egg.

I like the robot mode. The dino mode? Ehh. I wish she was at least a deluxe so she could have gotten more detail in dino mode.Kurona wrote:We've seen Slash's bio, and... well, due to multi-lingual stuff, it's embarrassingly short. She'll probably get put in IDW and the third Prime Wars Machinima thing though, so we'll see -- for now, I just love how she looks
Posted by Kurona on September 8th, 2017 @ 1:20pm CDT
I personally love the look of both. I've always been a blue chest swoop person, but the red chest as shown in this render works beautifully and gels so well with his aesthetic.

You said it earlier that Takara is going cartoon accurate. They probably have that there by accident and Hasbro is doing the red chestKurona wrote:So Swoop has a blue chest on the show floor... but a red chest in the renders. Running change?

I'd doubt it -- unless something's changed, Takara doesn't actually start producing their decos until quite a bit after Hasbro's version is released. We've seen, for instance, a grayscale Doublecross and Broadside at Tokyo Toy Fair waaaay after Hasbro's Titans Return versions were released.

The change of Swoop's chest from red to blue must have been a last-minute one, explaining why his stock render was kept hidden at the panel.Kurona wrote:So Swoop has a blue chest on the show floor... but a red chest in the renders. Running change?

Though, Swoop's chest may be cartoon-accurate blue, but his helmet is still toy-accurate black, making him overall accurate to neither.

Pretty much anything that has CW integration I'll be wanting. Just waiting to see what the Leader Class fully can do as to whether or not I'll get them. Also just waiting on . I figure there is enough time since this product wont be released until late December/early January for TT to make their announcements as to what their plans are.
Unlike CW, I'm glad I'm coming at this from the very beginning so I can strategically plan on purchasing any unique Hasbro product that wont end up as part of a (*hoping for*) TT UW box set.

A very, very small but equally awesome Dragonzord

Sludge really needed to be voyager, fingers crossed for oversized K.O's happen at some point.
Over than starscream which might be my only miss on this line up tho its looking better in robot mode than it did previously for some reason.

Well, as far as Titans Return, I'm getting every single deluxe, and some of everything else.
With Combiner Wars, I passed on a lot because I wasn't into collecting yet, I only got the Sky Reign wave, Scattorshot, and Onslaught (though I'm looking for Alpha Bravo and Offroad for...reasons, CW Blast Off to go with Onslaught because of...reasons...and Rook because he's cool).
My wallet is thankful that Power of the Primes will be midway between the two.
