Seibertron member Jtprime17 has found two pre-orders over on Amazon.com that have slipped under our radar, revealing Transformers Siege Battlemasters Smashdown and Caliburst! Smashdown has a Minotaur robot mode that transforms into a warhammer with a “smash” effect, whilst Caliburst is a retool of Blowpipe with a new blast effect. Having snuck out ahead of their official reveal, we can expect the Hasbro announcement very soon this weekend for NY Toyfair, with our continued coverage this weekend! We have mirrored the images below, here is the listing for Caliburst and here is the listing for Smashdown.





Has these pair of Battlemasters added to your excitement at the recent reveals of Omega Supreme and Springer or have your systems simply been overloaded with awesome already? Let us know here on the Energon Pub at Seibertron.com!

Smashdown looks awesome, and know I know what Hasbro meant when they said something about hammer Battlemasters coming soon for Wreckers fans.

Its a new design and character, right?

Now if only it came in blue, I have a certain White, red and blue truck that would like to have it.

As far as I know? It could be some sort of obscure reference but I'm leaning toward new character

I'll guess it, if Astrotain's listed, Blitzwing might be there (i want Apeface and Snapdragon but i would love to see them badly.)

Well I'm happy to be wrong, but I did say we'd find out this weekend one way or another. I wouldn't use this gimmick personally as Jetfire is a bot to me and was only a con for like... Five minutes? But Im happy the choice is there.

Good to see this as a feauture. Especially as I'll be putting Jetfire in the middle of my shelf as a result of his side swapping history. Though, I do wonder if the armor has a similar gimmick or if it's permentantly Autobot

There was a really good Blitzwing just released in Titans return we don't need another one. Astrotrain is a bit different since neither of his alt modes in TR were particularly good. Out of the triple changes he was the only one who really needed "fixing"

Digging the Battlemasters, Smashdown’s actually pretty cool!
Hoping that there’s more surprises in store this weekend. Most of it’s already been leaked, and I don’t like having my Christmas spoiled by looking at gifts early.
Posted by Jelze Bunnycat on February 16th, 2019 @ 12:02pm CST


Blast Effect aside, looks more like a mere redeco, not a retool. However, as he completes the Decepticon Targetmaster trio he's a must. Springer... may be one too, just to get a mold different from T30 Sandstorm.

My guess is that, while Star Saber remain plausible, that he's not for the Siege part of the trilogy. But then again, a Leader Astrotrain is weird because we already got a Voyager Astrotrain TR and the Siege Leader are 'Voyagers with armor', which doesn't remotely fit Astrotrain since he's a triple changer. A leader Astrotrain would need to just use the price point for size and multi-modes alone.

I think Star Saber is a shoe in for a Commander class figure down the line. As far as astrotrain goes I can see them doing something like what Fancycell did for their 3rd party astrotrain Transportation Captain. A Voyager figure but with a tender that turns into a battle platform or some sort of crazy power armor.

I was at targer with ultra magnus in my hand and it felt like i was 10 again. Then insaw the price tag. $50?!!!! Such a diffult decision to put it back on the shelf. I remember the good days of beast wars when it was $5 for basics, $10 for deluxes, $20 for mega and $30 for ultra.
Those were just as expensive back then as they are now.
Median household income was 20,000 in 85 and now its triple that (over 60000 in 2018). So of course prices on toys went up too. When considering inflation, ultra magnus was more expensive then you were ten than he is now.

I liked TR Astrotrain as Sentinel Prime but I want Astrotrain to have a proper Cybertronian loco mode. The "rail battleship" mode was cool, admittedly.
I am sure he will triple change, just like Springer does.

SIEGE Skyfire looks great!
I wonder why none of the stock-photos and computer-renderings reflect this gimmick.
Anyway, Just pre-ordered the Hasbro edition. According to Amazon it will be out on July 1, not August!
The figure+shipping+import_deposit = Takara's exact price for just the figure (Anime Export.) Strange, both companies usually charge about the same for the Siege line (with the pre-order discount factored in.)

Yes, this is very much an outlier when it comes to price equivalences.

And didn't both alt modes get shown off days ago? Nope, I was imagining things, just helicoptor mode. Still seemed pretty obviously a triple changer.william-james88 wrote:Guys, he had very obvious wheels. I would have been more surprised if he didnt triple change.
