Thanks to the Ozformers Facebook page, we have word that there has been an exclusive War for Cybertron Siege reveal at Toyfair Australia 2019: the Micromaster Sports Car Patrol! The Micromaster Sports Car Patrol consists of Decepticons Blackjack and Hyperdrive, who are slight remolds of the Wave 1 Micromaster Race Car Patrol of Roadhandler and Swindler, now coming in black and purple and teal and yellow colors! The Siege Micromasters are of course only half of the original team, with Detour and Road Hugger getting cut this time. The pair are able to combine into a strange sports car gun thingy.
You can check out the images of the team taken below, and let us know what you think of the newly revealed Micromasters, who are also the first Micromaster reveals past wave 2, in the comments section below! And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and galleries.

Agreed, but I suspect that may come after Scorponok comes out, hopefully for Scorp next year, and probably Black Zarak a year after that as a Takara exclusive somehow

Technically, that is God Magnus Prime, but Alternatively, he's Powermaster Optimus Prime combined with the Apex Armor. I show him as God Ginrai, but I couldn't leave him out of this picture.
Although I will say, I am glad we got that in Titans Return/Legends. while it would be awesome to get him in Siege with the gimmick and such, I think it's awesome we at least got him already.
Still want a Star Saber with Victory Leo though. that needs to happen.

On the contrary, I 100% expect more, given that the post writer says they'll be back with more news (they even called the post Part 1) and that this is the same event where PotP Inferno, Outback, and Cindersaur were officially revealed last year. Fingers crossed for Barricade (and that he's not rubbish)!

Well, that came out of absolute nowhere. Shame they're just straight up repaints of the hot rod patrol, but what can you do?
I wonder if we'll get any other reveal from Australia Toyfair. I highly doubt it, but who knows?

It's Day 1 of the toyfair on AU, perhaps we can see Skywarp and some probably Apeface and combiners, similar to revealing Slugslinger during their toyfair also/
Bonus image: (Also from Ozformers) Some Scale with SIEGE Omega, G1 Omega and Omega Spreem in Toyfair Australia 2019 (Omega Spreem definitely needs a modern toy.)

I'd be more happy if Lugnut/Lockdown/Oil Slick would join on the WFC Trilogy line,
So far Lugnut is still based from a Bomber though.
i forgot, Strika too.

This raises my hopes for an Off-road Patrol. Highjump is the only G1 Micromaster that I have, and I would absolutely love an update. Sadly, I feel like he would be the least likely to be included in the pack due to his bland color scheme.

Omegas art doesnt even resemble the toy, the toys faction symbol is too low down among other things.
Still not sold on the micromaster cars humping each other = weapon thing but wanting them at some point (ideally half price and being able to complete full teams)

In addition to our earlier story showing the Australian ToyFair reveal of Blackjack & Hyperdrive - Hasbro have finally released the official renders for Transformers Seige Micromaster Sports Car Patrol (Blackjack & Hyperdrive), Micromaster Off Road Patrol (Highjump & Powertrain) and Deluxe class Barricade. The full gallery is shown below.
Deluxe Barricade was teased last year, and now we have the solid confirmation he is a Prowl remold (as if there was much doubt to begin with, even without the teaser image). Have the official images fully wetted your appetite for these figures or have they left you feeling dry? Let us know here on the Energon Pub at Seibertron.com!

I'd say that counts as a reveal of Seige Smokescreen, too, whilst we're at it. Same head. Same guns. They'll just lose the light bar on the car mode.

A different face sculpt for Barricade would have been nice. Make him stand out a bit more than having a 'reverse-Prowl' colour palette.

I am.... slightly disappointed in Barricade. I'm glad that he's not an exact repaint of Prowl, and instead uses Smokescreen's head, but I wanted him to have his own, unique headsculpt. Love that vehicle mode though. Here's hoping a 3rd party will release a unique head for him.

Thumbs up for the new Micromasters, even the almost-only-repainted ones are good.
About Barricade... meh. I was fully prepared for a simple Prowl repaint, yet I was hoping for something a little more original. The movie character is probably one of the most memorable 'cons, it's a shame they didn't try to add a little more personality to this toy... they could at least include its trademark saw blade.

I think the inspiration for using Smokescreen came directly from Guido Guidi himself, with this old classic bit of art.

I agree. I actually think a new mold that could be Barricade and Strongarm would be a much better mix, but I have a feeling we won't be seeing Strongarm again in a very long time.

Yep, same thought I had about the Coneheads to be fair. Barricade is based on a Movie character, so his face shouldn't look like the default.

We knew it was coming, and we know repaint are a fact of life, but it is still such a massive let down and disappointment to see.
My kids have been asking for, and I've gotten them most of siege, but Barricade will be one I refuse to pay money for on general principal.

Barricade is kinda disappointing. I was hoping for something closer to his Movie or Evergreen face, but instead we get a repaint of the lamest of the heads from the Datsum bros. That Smokescreen head isn't my favorite, and I so wish they had gone a different path for his head.

A case of when expectation meets reality, more likely. Barricade maybe a Police Car, hence Prowl comparisons. But I think even when first announced the expectation was for more than just Black Prowl. The fandom ate up mere palette swaps back in the 80's. More is expected now.

I mean I wanted him to be a new Datsun brother who turned to the decepticons. If you want him to be the movie incarnation then buy the studio series one or one of the other iterations of movie Barricade. This isn't movie Barricade this is a generations take on the character. If the accepted excuse for the movie designs is "it's a new take on the character" then why isn't that okay here?

I wish they'd stop with the Micromaster 'weapon' modes. They all look garbage. The figures themselves are ok and it's cool seeing the Off-Road patrol appearing cos those were the main ones I had as a kid (along with the Air Strike Patrol)
Would have expected a new head for that 'Barricade'. The colour scheme is cool cos you can't go too wrong with mostly black with some white and purple. But yeah it just looks like Night-Prowl rather than Barricade.

Because there's already an Evergreen design that fits the bill for a Generations Barricade. It'd be like making Star Saber, but as a pre-tool for Brainstorm. Sure, you can say it's a new take on the character, but there's still gonna be disappointment from a large amount of people, just like how a lot of people are still disappointed in how the movies portray the characters, despite them being new takes on the characters

I'm still kinda confused whether purple exists on movie Barricade at all. Some figures have purple (2007 Deluxe, the Human Alliance, Robot Replica, DotM Deluxe), but MPM has bright blue and Studio Series has just black in those places. Some renders of the cgi model show a more subtle dark blue/purple that's almost as black as the rest of him while others have it a more stronger blue
As for that Siege Barricade, it's just another in a long line of Autobots and Decepticons sharing the same body and face. Something I really hate in Transformers as it makes no sense for them to do so without a specific reason.

I'm still kinda confused whether purple exists on movie Barricade at all.

I got excited then as I liked that mold (Prowl from Prime Smokescreen) then realised it was a club exclusive.

I'll just be over here alone on my little island being not surprised at all by this reveal and playing fun adventure battles with my toys. Actually I'm elated that this is proof of a Smokescreen. With that glimpse of the 35th Anni Blustreak, I will be happy to complete the Bros.
As for Barricade, I'm fine with this one. Those cool Con-y colors remind me of another one of my favorite repaint/faction swap.
I also hope that cool looking Drivetrain has knees!

Thank you for Posting these. That Barricade is exactly whom this is going up against, winner gets to use Prime TFSS Frenzy.
2 things I really like
1) the colora
2)the Acxessory Guns.
But I am not sure he weara the mold well as Barricade. Something does feel off. And while I like the car mode, and its more police car like, I'm not sure I like it more than the TFSS BAarricade

I loved that TFSS figure look, never got it, but it looks so cool. I love that head. I wish that was the head the new Barricade has used for a model. I wish it was not a typical Datsun head!

Even though Barricade is pretty, he's an easy pass for me. I'm probably all in on any Datsun Bros they release and I have no connection to Barricade as a character. Lovely deco though.
I do like the looks of the new micromasters that are new molds. Those guys are bite sized fun plastic snacks.

Kind of hoped for it to be a Mirage redeco, still Zero Wants from all the carbots in Siege. Will be interesting to see what redecos the Mirage mold eventually gets used for.

Barricade definitely need a visor and/or mouthplate but otherwise this is fine, even if I wish he had looked more like the Evergreen Barricade.

He does have a different head from Prowl
Many wanted it, and a few years ago some people paid double-triple what this figure costs to get essentially the same thing from the club.

Expected it maybe, but nobody wanted it. Try again.
