Perceptor looks absolutely fantastic. I love that the tank mode was included

It's a nice touch that the sweep has slightly brighter blue

And that coronation starscream, wow! So worth the wait! I like that his hands open and close now. The cape is pretty cool, and that throne is better than I expected

Kind of hilarious, at the 30 minute mark they revealed 3 new SS86. Talked about TF:TM September fathom Events, and recapping SG, but all the comments are just "We Want Kingdom" :lol: :lol:


...oh wow, so that was a total waste of time, those 3 SS reveals were in the first 10 minutes. No Kingdom, no Haslab... August 27th come back for "Something special"

So it turns out that once again, the only toys revealed were Studio Series 86 toys, because clearly that is all that matters now. However, they did give time to 2 mobile games featuring Transformers along with showing us the Shaterred Glass toys again. below is a list of the reveals.

SS86 voyager Sweep, is a brighter blue than Scourge. And has different Blast effect.

SS86 deluxe Perceptor coming in 2022, triple changer with official tank mode.

SS86 leader Coronation Starscream, partial of earthrise Starscream with new extra bits and comes with a purple throne. Deco is more plain for a more movie accurate look.

Leaders will be closed box like MPs from here on out.

Next we have a look at the programable Optimus Prime. New preorders will be available at 1 pm with other preorders, since the previous ones sold out.

They then showed all the Shaterred glass toys and comics we are getting.

After that, we got not one but TWO trailers for mobile games featuring Transformers crossovers. One is the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

Wow, how underwhelming.

Definitely getting Starscream. Loving that throne. And his new articulated hands.

Perceptor looks real nice. But don't think I'm going out of my way to get him. If I find him, sure.

Everything else, meh...

Why didn't they show Kingdom Wave 4 I mean the most of the wave has been leaked already. I wanted to preorder Tigatron :roll:

This was lackluster as hell.

They mentioned the Kickstarter chess set with this as well, and it's so expensive to start with, but what really got me, is the that they have additional "replacement" kings of Rodimus Prime and Galvatron, not as a stretch goal, but as a different level.

I'm sorry, at the price They're charging those should be stretch goals that are included if you pledged the full board.

Ugh, Leader class in boxes so you can't scope the paint job before buying. MP can get away with that as at the price they (seem) to put care into the painting, but I've seen Leader paint jobs I've passed on before and now it's going to be down to luck. Hasbro really, really wants me to move on from buying TFs it seems.

I should have said just Tigatron Shadow Panther and Waspy have been leaked reviewed early.

That was painfully boring. Only a fraction of that stream was dedicated to toy reveals. I don't get why they're taking so long to show Kingdom wave 4. Wave 3 has already been out for a bit, and we haven't received any official word on what's next.

Jeez, they revealed 1 figure, and it was just another Perceptor!

At least all the dodgy theft business is showcasing upcoming figures.

Are you allergic to money, Hasbro?

Obviously they are not, because they chose to take the pile of cash sent to them by the 2 mobile game companies to showcase their commercials instead of showing figures fans will be buying anyways.

Judging by the comments in the livestream I'm not so sure. I'm an old man who has no interest in mobile games. But the young fans who do enjoy mobile games have no interest in seeing original series characters. I'm not sure who these games were designed for? Yeah cut scenes and "original animated series theme" in the background look and sound cool, but still not compelling me to play this.

Many fans wonder when an actual Transformers game is going to come out, not just skins on to other mobile app games.

At least we got that awesome Chess Set which I am sure barley anyone will purchase. :roll:

Comment by Nemesis Reformatted Aug 13, 2021
I already have ER Starscream. This new leader class is $50+ just for a box, throne, cape, crown & shoulder pads. It's basically another overpriced 3rd party upgrade kit only this time it's not 3rd party. I don't usually waste my money on upgrade kits. And that scene in the movie isn't important enough. I would have been all over it if Starscream had actually become the new leader of the Decepticons for a while. If I get this new Starscream I would probably repaint the ER version into one of those all violet Air Warriors.


The only thing new here is Perceptor & I don't need another Perceptor. My TR figure is just fine. I'm done with that character. I already checked him off my list. I'm trying to get 1 good updated version of every G1 character (That's why I'm always bitching about the deluxe Insecticons). I'm trying not to keep wasting money on the same characters over & over again. So once a character is checked off my list I'm not buying it again. I want to be finished with my collection someday. I don't want to collect forever.

Perceptor looks OK, but if it's just deluxe size, then I don't see much that sets it apart from the perfectly fine Titans Return version. As for Sweep, his lure may be simply because NOBODY was ever able to find Scourge himself! Boo!
And while having a Coronation Starscream would be funny, the bigger leader price tag is totally UN-funny.

Ah jeez, didn't think about that. Or maybe they got paid in fake exposure, like other Raid: Shadow Legends monkeys. The lady said the graphics looked amazing. Just reminded me of games on the Nokia 3510. Free-to-wait games are always so insulting when its a brand you like.

Comment by blackeyedprime Aug 13, 2021
Perceptor doesnt seem to do anything over the TR one (it seems to do less becasue no head/titan to drive tank) other thna availablilty. Easy pass for me, good for those that are still after him. I'm sure selects will give us magnificus so my TR repaint can happilly be Fractyl in a pre beats wars form (has swoops TR head).

SG Megatrons cthru plastic looks very blue and uncthru, liking the look and still may buy him.

Starscream is a big no at that price when compared to first walmart MP and the couple a bucks a third party add on. also with out the ungreebling its not very cartoon like other than for his extreme close ups. Give me a color change version is selects and I wont be able to say no tho.

Scourge was too small for my liking and same thing with the sweep, I like the bot mode but TR/TL still wins for me in alt. I'll pick one up on sale if possible because SS voyager prices here are off putting.

The chess set...I was thinking man Eaglemoss would only set back half that price if not even less with their magazine figurines...watches video...eagle moss hahahahahah,

Nope. for that price I would expect premium quality and premium pieces, sadly that's not what eaglemoss is known for.

On the brightside I dont have to support a toy companies kickstarter that has no need for a kickstarter and it makes me feel a bit better in hoping their future kickstarters wont appeal to me either (cautiosly raises eyebrow for the upcoming GI joe one)
