Could this have been the Titan Master partner of Alpha Trion?

For some reason my first thought was Micromaster Overload. Not sure why or what gimmick he and that trailer base would fit into though, unless they go with a Weaponizer theme and channel the Armada design of Overload turning into the head and neck of a larger robot that also turns into guns and a backpack.

I'm not seeing Huffer or Pipes. My first thought was a weaponizer gun. The lit up part of his chest reminds me of the posts from Blowpipe and the other Siege weaponizer guns.

Well, that absolutely looks like some variety of Micromaster, but I have little to no knowledge or interest regarding Micromasters and therefore have no idea if he's a pre-existing one or not.
Although that doesn't appear to be what it is, I agree that Weaponizer Overload would be amazing, Flashwave.
...or maybe, because of his backpack, he's the hinted-at hammer Battlemaster?

UM having the ubiquitous butt flap in his MP and now Sg verisoin reminds me of those 18th Century military uniforms. Maybe they were the inspiration for Floro Dery?

Maybe he's a Micromaster intended for something bigger than the Legends price point: main micromaster of a playset?

Yea its the TR version of godbomber and ginrai im after. Think i'll get the siege on cybertron boxset to get ginrai. they're not bad prices on ebay. Seems really odd they should do a robot that's half way between pipes and huffer when everything else in the line is so G1.

Personally it reminds me of a powermaster, but I can't think of a powermaster in those colors, and either way proper powermasters haven't been done since the originals so who knows.

While the banner does not reflect the Siege line per se, it does feature a character we have not seen yet in the Generations line, which looks like a mix of Huffer and Pipes. We will let you handle the speculation from here on out, but keep in mind that this may be a design that was planned for a previous Generations subline and never saw the light of day. It is odd though that it features so prominently on the site, whenever Transformers are mentioned, leading to several different styles of the banner/art. All of them can be seen below.

Detail-wise, this dude bears a resemblance to the Dreamwave MTMTE profile artwork of the G1 Powermaster Slapdash's little partner Lube, but the colors don't match at all.
The colors are a bit evocative of those of Lube's Japanese-only Masterforce Warrior redeco Bullet, but the color layout is different.
It's possible that it's a Titan Master design that ultimately went unused.
Also, the image was allegedly uploaded a year ago.

I've already sold off my Botcon Reflector, Classics Prime and few other to make way for Siege.
I quite like the Space Guns into Submarines (or psuedo space ships) idea.
I'm even looking forward Bed Soundwave from Siege.

This doesn't look much like Huffer.
Coincidentally, I've been wondering if we'll see proper Huffer & Gears anytime soon. They are two of the few Autobots to still not have an official figure close enough to their character-models. Who will get there first -- the Masterpiece line or CHUG?
Both characters have interesting designs, with some almost "Goboty" elements.

Was T30 Gears not close enough, or just not recent enough/hard to find? I thought he was a pretty good representation of Gears.

Eeeehh, we've had a lot of homages, but I want to see a full on remake. I've got the Star Convoy reissue and he's one of the biggest brick in the entire Transformers line and long overdue for a proper update. The CW Battle Core Prime head was just that, a head (and also used as a Monopoly piece). TR Prime was a tribute in color only, they couldn't even be bothered to use the alternate Star Convoy head sculpt, and the transformation was entirely incidental due to the figure being an Octone pre-tool. It's time for a true "return of Convoy".
And wow, that looks nothing the Sovereign we actually got which was a homage to Safeguard/Root/Beta Maxx.
At first I honestly thought that art was of a screwy version of Krunk.
My problem was that he was an obvious repaint (pre-paint?) of a Brawn figure we never got. Plus he never showed up in stores around me and was hard to find a good price by the time I realized he wasn't showing up. So I, too, would like to see them take a second shot at him as well as Huffer, Pipes and a few others.

He is the only toy from that line that was ever rereleased and you can own an original for pretty cheap because of that. Plus, not only was that white CW Prime a Star Convoy homage, but so was TR Prime, sporting the same details on his chest and having his legs made up of his trailer. Plus, the whole trailer turning into legs, which Star Convoy started, was the basis for every Prime toy in the RID line.

So... stupid question... If the Battlemasters are filling the $5-6 titanmaster slot, are the Micromaster pairs filling the $10-12 scout class slot? As much as I love Micromasters and minicons, that feels like a rip off.
Re: Promotional Art for Transformers Generations Titan Master Sovereign

Yes unfortunately. I loved the legends figures we have been getting, and really don't care for the micromasters that much (too simple for my tastes). I'll cherry pick a few to buy, but will pass on most of them.

Dang. You'd think for the $10 pricepoint they could stick a third MM in the package like the old Armada Minicon teams.

Not close enough. And his other toy is the original 80s one.
