Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Rainmakers Spotted at Massachusetts Target

Hmm, not sure about the Micromaster pack yet, but it is a consideration. I can display 1 set of jets as a sword then!

The seekers being $80 makes that more manageable. I think I'll get them.

Frikkin/ RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNG! Yes!!!!!

That is the reveal of the year right there. Sorry Hasbro, but Rung >>> Unicron now. $6 >>> $600

Its weird Ion Storm has red in his vehicle mode: seems like they recolored Thundercracker robot mode but forget to paint the tetrajet part.

That's right although we initially thought there would be a wait between featuring these two at the #SDCC2019 and their availability for purchase we have now learned through an advertisement on ToyShiz on Instagram that Generations Selects Lancer and Galaxy Man Shockwave will be available at Entertainment Earth's booth at the #SDCC2019 for sale!

Galaxy Man "Shackwave" is listed for $50 and Lancer for only $20, and both come with a collector's pin! Hope anyone wanting one of these is able to swing by Entertainment Earth's booth and pick them up, and make sure and tell 'em Seibertron sent you!

Be sure to share your views with the Seibertron crew in the forums and stay tuned for all the latest in #SDCC2019 news!

Just in from the #SDCC2019 from Autobase Aichi are some great images of Astrotrain in robot mode, his vehicle mode, and his (proper) train tender in its various modes. You can see it housing a store of large weapons in tender mode and converted into a nice rocket base for his shuttle mode.

And by base I don't mean a launchpad, no, I mean an armed fully stretched out rocket base. There are two grey components on the floor beside Astrotrain that look almost as though they could be height increasing boots, but even if his extra parts don't turn into a full suit of armor ala Shockwave a full rocket base more than makes up for it. This would also be a new way of utilizing a leader classes extra component pieces we haven't seen yet in the Siege line.

Enjoy the views and stay tuned to Seibertron for your up to date #SDCC2019 news!

If anyone is at SDCC and sees a Hasbro rep or John Warden, can you please ask if there is any chance that we might get a Star Saber figure?

You guys are killin’ me!

I love that we have the smallest scale Primus up against the biggest ever Unicron. It’s not about size man it’s just not.

Totally missed that! Good call dude.

Actually I'm not convinced that are compatible with the TR titans and bases. Look at the photo of the tender on its side. The spacing doesn't look even between all the tabs, and the bumps or nubs in some of the gaps look too large for the TR connectors. Hell the bumps/nubs on the TR connectors are too large for themselves in some configurations and these look much larger to me. Could certainly be the angle in the photo, but something just looks slightly off to me as compared to the TR connectors.

Asteotraon looks infinitely better here than before. The alt modes look fantastic now, the weapon storage is awesome, and that rock base! I am loving it!

And to think I just bought Legends Astrotrain. Ah well. Siege one got some nice extras like the launch pad but my collection only has room for one Astrotrain.

Just got my hands on the rainmakers. I’ll update with tolerances and the like once I’ve got a chance.

Going to be feverishly refreshing brickseek for the Rainmakers...

Why wouldnt they be? They went out ofvtheir way last Convention to show us that Supreme has the Base Connectors, why would thry go put of their way to give Astrotrain something that definately looka like them and isnt?

No one said she was coming to amazon

Looking at it more closely, I think that is just literally a picture of Thundercracker. Not only does it have the red details, but you can see TC's black forearms. The robot mode pic is actually Ion Storm though.

In general everything is slightly looser but not detrimentally so. The chest hinge is much tighter and requires intentional force to remove now. My camera doesn’t pick it up but these guys are gaudy as all hell and I can’t help but love it. If you like the seeker mold and neon colors you’ll LOVE this, and even then you can wait until thundercracker or skywarp if these don’t win you over.

You know looking at the rainmakers like that, if you added Starscream and skywarp you'd have the Seeker Sentai

(Edit: Never mind, it was Movie stuff.)

Is it definitely Siege though? He'll have to be a small deluxe to scale properly, so I'm more inclined to believe he could be part of the next line.

No, you're right, "SS" is the "Studio Series" -- I was thinking about "SG" (Siege.)

No worries, mistakes happen! Just repost in the Studio Series thread

I thought it was weird that there was an independent Mixmaster. It's weird there's no Siege Bumblebee yet though.

I'd say it's because of his size class I reckon he'll show up in next year's line or maybe the one after, depends on the approach they take to the minibots, as they'd be a lot to work on.

Oh, and I'm a tad disappointed about the way they handled Apeface's beast mode face, but if it means a good Titan Master and robot mode face, I'm fine with it not being 100% like the G1 toy

I cant tell, but it lools like Apeface's...Ape Face is dome the same way the Wolf head on SixShot was: you putvthe TM into fill it out. Yeah, a proper triplechanger head woulda been cool, but I am okay with it cause we get a good figure as a whole

Why? Just get the TR Titanmanster Apeface, use that as Spasma, and the Titanmaster than comes with Seige Apeface can just stay plugged into the beast-mode head.

Entertainment earth usually puts their exclusives on their website too, but I don't see either of these there. I hope they don't end up being only available at SDCC.

Ape Face's head is very different from any we have ever seen since his robot face is on the titan master's legs.

They arent. But they might not be entertainment earth exclusives either since EE is selling target exclusives at their booth. So these might be target exclusives.

The connectors may simply be an artifact of some element of his transformation.

damn, wish I was there!

Looking at the pics, I honestly cannot tell. I mean, we saw them on Omega Supreme for sure, which has me excited. Part of the concept if *true* for Astrotrain makes sense since his launch mode has a *base* of sorts. And yet, part of me doesn't want it, because It will take me another step backwards from completing my all connected Transformers city. I'm only 4 steps away now (and they are pretty big Expensive steps), though admittedly Leader Astrotrain would be the least of my worries.

San Jose CA this morning. Acid storm is bae

Seibertron is currently at the Hasbro breakfast event at SDCC and we have some fun news to report. As rumoured, Hasbro revealed a 3 pack of Transformer Siege Refractor / Reflectors. All three are in their G1 toy colours, helping us differentiate them as individuals. The camera mode is uniformly black from the front and comes with extra accessories like a flash.
Siege Soundblaster and Bluestreak were also there and this is technically their official reveal. Reflector should be available at various online retailers soon, similarly to the earlier Generations Selects toys. Keep watch for more news throughout today.

Let us know what you think!

Did you ask an employee to get it out of the back, or did they just have it out? I was at one of my Targets last night (also in northern CA), and they didn't even have spots for these on the shelf yet

Redeco? Check
Extra Parts? Check
Special Packaging? Check
No ID number? Check

... I do believe the Refraktor 3-pack is the SDCC exclusive. Shame.

Better camera-mode I guess, but I still prefer "them" to look identical (minus the shutter ab, of course.)

I know it's hectic with all of the SDCC reveals coming up but if anyone could provide some insight I would be grateful: I've had Seige Jetfire on preorder from BBTS for a while and was expecting him in stock early this month. Haven't seen anything as of yet. I'm just being impatient but has anyone received their preordered Seige Jetfire through BBTS?

That Reflector is a thing of beauty, I need it, and five other reflectors...

On the side, it looks like the 35th Anniversary releases don't follow the size class rule with their ID's: Bluestreak is S64, but Soundblaster is S63. Optimus Prime and Megatron, if they're still a thing, would probably be S61 and S62.

Was just sitting out. Rang up normal @ self check out. Looking for the mini con pack

It is not, I confirmed with Hasbro before writing what I did in the article.

Well good thing the regular retail one is around then

I don't have him preordered because of cough cough a certain planet, but more than likely they just haven't gotten their shipment yet. This happened with the recent MP+ Wheeljack who was supposed to come out in February, and BBTS didn't get their stock until last month even though other retailers got the figure in March. So it's more than likely just a core distribution issue with Jetfire. It not being sold out would more than likely point to that rather than them potentially just not filling your order

Amazon and Hasbro Pulse had these briefly in stock on July 1, other than that, no other retailer I know of has received them yet, so no worries, you have not been left out.

So much yes with these reveals! I was hoping the Reflectors would have new heads, but they look so amazing as is, I'm not sure I care anymore.

Looks like sound blaster has a retooled chest to fit 2 mini bots? Just his G1 I believe!
