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.

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.
or a Black Zarak to go with Ginrai

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

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?

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)!

Cool to see the new micromasters, the colors are on point, shame to see that they're using those god-awful molds though

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)

There will be no other reveals.
Edit: i am wrong, stay tuned

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.

Man, it seems no Micromaster set will ever be able to look anywhere as good as the Battle Patrol and Air Strike Patrol.

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.

A mouth plate or a partial mouth plate ala Optimus Primal, would have worked a lot better though.

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.

Whadda ya know, Barricade is a Recolor of Red Alert!

Much better than Prowl now!
