We have several reveals today. The one for the Legacy line is deluxe Optimus Prime based on the G1 toy. So it's very similar to missing link but this will just cost you less than $30. Mark Maher, the designer, has provided a whole blurb about it, which you can read below. We also have, from BBTS of all places, the official reveal for the upcoming multipack of modernized EHobby redecos, which include Gobots Pathfinder, Small foot and Treds.

It's just unfortunate that they're on the wrong mold.


Not the first Slipstream to be a Windblade retool... and since they're both jet fembots, won't be the last. :evil:

Quake makes me wish I had bought Spinister instead of Crosshairs during Siege :lol: O well, I guess a re-release with new Targetmaster redecos isn't in the books? :PRAY:

That one was at least retooled enough to convincingly pretend to be a Seeker. This one's just a "Nemesis Windblade".

I never owned any OG G1/reissues OP, nor the new Missing Link version. I'll be getting this Deluxe OP. But I can imagine some 4P/KO company stealing the mold and come up with diecast & chromed/metallic paint version, and maybe even a trailer down the road. If so I'll likely buy THAT as well if Hasbro double dip.

If TT announces Missing Link Megatron, then I'll instantly go and order no-trailer Missing Link.

I've feel Optimus tends to have really good deluxe toys so this is a pick up & this actaully looks like it may be a better toy then the Missing Link. So gotta get it in hand just to see if that's the case.

G1 Prime has only had 1 other deluxe figure and it was terrible.
Bay Movie Prime had one, and it was o.k.
Armada Prime had one and was great.
Energon had 1 and it was terrible.
Animated had 2. one was o.k, the other was impossible to get and had the black goo all over him. But the mold was pretty good.

I think that's all of them outside of Cyberverse and 2015 R.I.D.

Someone will no doubt correct me if I missed one.

Well you did miss the First Edition one and the video game ones. I would also consider a lot of those better then just ok.

New Mark IG post has the color-tweaked Metalhawk PR now, looks like darker gold, darker grey, lighter blue: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8IeCdNu ... BqbGU5NW5z

G1 Optimus looks surprisingly good, but it was never something that I would get and I wish the budget went to a different character.
Quake also looks surprisingly good and is someone I'll be picking up, was not expecting him to get as much retooling as he did.
Any Slipstream that doesn't actually use a Seeker mold is a waste.
Kinda don't like everything about Pathfinder (no visor, don't like the mold, color scheme is still really close to normal Cosmos), but I'm invested enough in getting Treds and Smallfoot that I guess I'm just gonna have to deal.
Already got Metalhawk last year.

This is true,

WFC less than stellar. FOC, was just o.k.

Ahh Never owned the SDCC deluxe prime prime. Was it good?

It's an okay figure. A little odd in its proportions, but overall not bad.

RID15 Warrior class Optimus is trash. Or at least, the normal one is. I never got the retooled winged one.

Cyberverse Deluxe Optimus is okay. Never got any of the Warrior class versions.

EarthSpark Deluxe Optimus is also okay. Never got the Warrior class version either.

I really love the retooled winged RID Prime. They even retooled the front of the truck so that you have a better bot mode aesthetic with the hands and shoulders.

And Earthspark Warrior Prime is waaaaaaay better than I would have ever expected from that class. It's a surprisingly solid toy. Nothing amazing, it's very standard. But it's a standard no nonsense Prime toy which costs less than a deluxe figure. It's a toy I'd happily recomend to any parent as an Optimus toy for their kids.

The Cyberverse warrior however is one of the worse prime toys to have ever been made. It is bafflingly bad.

I'm very excited to get Slipstream and Quake, especially to replace their past figures I own (Legends and Titans Return respectively)
As much as I LOVE the Targetmasters, I do think Quake's alt mode is a bit...jank. I guess I can blame that on wanting to avoid looking too much like a Leopard tank lol, and maybe the fault of the Skullgrin mold as well. I still like it, though, so hmph, more money outta me!

Hasbro wasn't kidding when they said they had lots of reveals for us this week. Thanks to a variety of sources, including youtube's Sixo, we now have our first or best looks yet at:

- Comic Edition Xaaron and Flame, based on the Refraktor and GE Megatron molds respectively
- Metalhawk as a package refresh with slightly different colours
- Core class Energon Galvatron
- Core class Geocron, which is a redeco of Bouldercrash with a new head straight out of the JG1 Headmasters episode featuring the inhabitants of planet Daira
- Leader class Armada Galvatron

Preorders for several of these, should be up at 1 pm Eastern Time on Pulse.

Hi Transformer fans,

As promised, here’s a look at the upcoming core class figures: Geocron and Galvatron!

Geocron is a redeco of our previous Bouldercrash figure but with a new head that is straight out of the JG1 Headmasters episode featuring the inhabitants of planet Daira.

Galvatron is a redeco as well; one that I think a lot of folks were waiting for after we announced the Energon Megatron. We followed the anime for the coloring which is why he has the silver crown and slightly blue face.

Please have a look at the photos attached and I made sure to snap a pic of them next to their counterparts.

Thanks for popping by,

-Evan


On to the Voyagers!! I’ll start with this dashing package refresh of Legacy United Metalhawk! But, whats this, I was able to switch colors to the more vibrant toy pretender shell!?!?

So as you all know this fierce hunk was a partial tooling off of the Cyclonus mold and the homey naveskoorb got to work on the development of this dude. For those of you who don’t know, our Evan Brooks is somewhat of a Japanese guru when it comes to TF. His knowledge and passion towards the brand is a blessing to us all!

Now I know what yall gonna say, that gold doesn’t match the og toy! Egads and gadzooks man Markclonus screwed us again!! honestly molded plastic gold is kind of a headache in production and there is only a few pantone golds I know are solid in terms of color pop and longevity. So much like alot of things on the brand, I turn to my gut to guide the way! Also, since we usually don’t get to change colors on a package refresh of an item, I had to keep it really close to the first release, but I thought it was important for a variant release of this guy! Great figure!

To note, all the colors here are accurate and I don’t have in hand samples unfortunately to do a posed out posting.

But what I can promise you is this, another voyager reveal tomorrow!!! hooray!

Well I do like some Galvatrons & haven't gotten those molds yet so they'll probably be some pick ups for me.

The comics stuff I've been skipping so far because it just hasn't been anything I've had a reason to want & I don't know who Flame is, but he's looks basically like a tank Rodimus so I have add him to even growing Rodimus fleet. Plus Xaaron looks a little fun too.

Xaaron! Yes! These last few years have been pretty good for comicbook characters. Now let's hope they do a Sentinel Prime eventually.

YESSSSSSSSS. That deco on Flame is sick.
Seriously, that weird little zombie story is one of my quirky favourites from TFUK. And my Impactor needs a Xaaron to yell at.
