Seibertronians, we've got a cool little piece today, thanks to user Cyberpath. Hasbro Transformers designer Emiliano Santalucia has recently shared some new toy concept art via his Facebook page. These are the early incarnations of the Titan's Return Voyager Galvatron and Leader Class Powermaster Optimus Prime. Check the rough drafts out down below, and then take a look at the finished products by swinging by Seibertron's galleries of the two figures. (We've included a couple down below already, just for comparison.)

So what do you think of these new concept drawings? Do you think they look better or worse than what we got? What elements of the designs do you think Hasbro should have included that they didn't? What would you have left out? Tell us in the Comments!

Where'd you see it?

A mate dropped it in a facebook chat. Don't know where he got it from. I can ask, though he doesn't know how ligit it is either.

That looks severely fake

Still, works better than Chromdome.

Yeah, I guess, other than the weird face

Because it is: she shares her project number, #345576, with Voyager Megatron:

Knew it, the words looked pretty weird.

Plus, it's literally a digibash of the Hot Rod stock art. I don't know why the hell Hasbro would use that for their design sheets, especially since every design sheet we've seen so far has the bots in a neutral standing pose.

Because I'm such a number nut, here are the project numbers for some more figures:

#336483: Mindwipe
#336484: Wolfwire

#345561: Hot Rod
#345562: Doublecross
#345563: Triggerhappy
#345564: Getaway

#345576: Megatron
#345577: Optimus Prime

If you spot any of these someplace else, it's fake

And really? No new head sculpt? Obviously fake even before all the other proof.

Considering exclusives are usually straight redecos, that wasn't really one of my concerns.

I never once claimed it wasn't fake. Just saying I saw it.

And I don't care enough to look at the project numbers, let alone remember them. Just thought folks would be interested in seeing Arcee from the Rodimus mould, since a fake bash of her from Chromedome was doing the round.

Wow, they took a massive chunk out of that. I mean, I don't know if the sleeper section really improves anything (where's it even go in robot mode?), but it's still rather startling to see they made such a drastic change.

It's chill man, no one's accusing you of anything

While that does look terrible...there is potential there. With some good retooling, I think they could make that work.

Cheets got a lot of positive feedback for that, especially for its deviating from the (stereo)typical "super model" fembot look that Hasbro's been so accustomed to giving us over the years.

Thing is, that works... for a new female character. Much in the same way Strongarm and Pyra Magna work.
But it doesn't really fit Arcee who has always been characterised visually as very athletic and lithe. She's not exactly what you'd imagine as a generic soldier or a tank. then again I've never liked arcee outside of TFP so whatever

Guys, I got a crazy idea. How about we just make a new mold? I know I know, its nonsense.

Kiddin aside, if we do get another Arcee, I would rather it be an IDW arcee. I always liked how the artists made it to that the car front splits in half, creating that silouette on the back. Looks like a fun transformation. And anyway, I think we already know all the Titans Return toys coming out right?

Does anyone out there have a breakdown of what to expect from wave 1-wave 4 2017 for the generations line based on the rumours?

Wait, what? As far as I know, Voyagers aside we only know up to and including TR Wave 4. I didn't know that there was any info on the deluxes, legends, titan masters and leaders in Waves 5 and 6. ... though it's a pretty easy bet that Frenzy and Eject will be there, at least. And I think we had some miscellaneous ones scattered about like Delta Magnus but nothing about a full wave's contents.

Ok, so simple question: which wave is perceptor supposed to come out in?

Yeah, that's an odd one. Wave 4's Kup, Topspin (or Twin Twist, I forget), Quake and Krok, right? So Perceptor's either in Wave 5, 6, or a special boxset but the latter is very unlikely since that's usually reserved for redecoes and retools and apparently he's supposed to be a new mold and blaaaah.
... so yeah, either 5 or 6. More likely 5 bc it doesn't make a lot of sense we'd get info on Wave 6 before Wave 5.

See, we do have more info than just half of next year

Theres also that Bumblebee redeco as Chase thats unacounted for unless its in the second 2017 legends wave with Seaspray and Cosmos. Also he leader class might not have a lot of releases. This year only has 4 new Leader class TFs and we already know 2 of the ones coming out next year.

There are also too many titan masters rumoured for just one extra wave:

Repugnus (C1100)
Shuffler (C1101)
Ramhorn
Toraiser
Optimus Prime
