For the 13th year in a row, Seibertron.com is once again at Hasbro's Toy Fair Fan Media Day Press Event, which is located at The Times Center in New York City. The initial part of this event, which begins at 1:30pm EST, is a 1.5 hour presentation from the various brand teams for Transformers, Power Rangers, Marvel, Star Wars, Fortnight, Overwatch and possibly other brands. During the presentation, we are not allowed to photograph or video any of the content shown. However, we are able to take notes which I will share with all of you in this topic. Please keep refreshing the page to see new notes that I add throughout the presentation.
Around 3 or 3:30pm, we transition from the presentation room to the product showroom which has toys from the various brands on display. During the showroom part of this event, we are allowed to take pictures to share with all of you. Seibertron.com Twincast/Podcast cast member/host Megatronus will take some quick pictures with his phone to share with all of you via the news staff. While he's doing that, I'll be taking pictures of the toys on my Sony a6500 camera. I'll begin upload the full galleries and videos starting around 6pm to 7pm Eastern, which the Seibertron.com news team will share with all of you.
Without further ado, the presentation just started!

Red Wing? Put on your tinfoil hats cuz I think this is a carry over mistake from another unrevealed figure: Hydra (with trademark friendly name)! If my hunch is right, we're getting buster and Hydra in Generations Selects to complete the Starscream combiner!

Dannshinigami wrote:Any confirmation on if Springer is a triple changer??
I was watching a YouTube video earlier and from what I saw it is a definite yes.
Jetfire has this cool thing where little handles come out of his underside and you can have up to four other bots holding on to him and his cockpit opens up and you can fit a little titan master inside it if you want. He even has this cool mechanism in his hand to where if you open it the weapon port disappears into it!
I was kind of hoping they would have revealed a little more(like Lancer or something) but what they showed off was cool. I love that the blast peaces that come with Omega and Jetfire are modular, that's such a fun touch. The whole line looks nice and chunky and robotic, I love the aesthetic of this line so much(and I'm not even a geewunner) I really don't understand the complaints this line has been getting, but too each there own.
Random thoughts:
I hope we get one more good Windblade figure in WFC before they stop making her, like the Titans Return one without a head master gimmic.
What do you guys think should come with ratchet if they make one? I'm hoping he gets a scalpel sword and a buzzsaw (it would be a neat little reference to the movies and prime).
That Beast Wars Megs is gorgeous... It kinda makes Dinobot look like sh*t.

Not what I mean. Usually they have prototypes for the next year out. This year, nothing. Everything is already at retail, or will be in the next couple of months. There was nothing new. Nothing upcoming for next year. It felt and looked very half assed.
Even with the 'Walmart leaks', we knew this stuff was coming before that, just hadn't seen it. We didn't get any brand new figures announced, in the past years, we have.

The presentation yesterday was basically the same as it has always been for the 13 years that I've been attending. If my recollection is correct, they've never shown prototypes for the following year that we can photograph. The only "prototype" exception I can think of is when they showed something for one of the Titan Class figures, but that was during the presentation part and not something we could photograph and share with all of you.
Toy Fair basically covers the current products that are currently available at retail, are just about to hit retail, and products that will be coming out between now and roughly July/August. SDCC basically covers products from June to December (with a few exceptions like they showed Chromia and Ironhide last year but they're still not at retail yet).
To sum it up, Toy Fair usually covers the first 6 months of the year and SDCC covers the last half of the year, with NYCC picking up the holdovers from SDCC.
It was also the first time that they had had Masterpiece displays for us to photograph, which they did just for the fans.
There was also a lot of Cyberverse product on display that we didn't even know about such as Gnaw and Alpha Trion.
It was definitely not half assed. The Transformers area had more products on display than ever before. 1.5 hours was not enough time to photograph and video everything. It's the 2nd or 3rd year in a row where I've had trouble photographing everything because it's too much product to photograph in that short amount of time.
The biggest thing that was different this year was how much product was revealed during the 2 weeks prior to Toy Fair. In addition to that, there was an obvious push to translate newly revealed products to buy-it-now opportunities, which is new and exciting.

Hasbro made another mistake in their official promotional images. Smashdown and Caliburst are not Micro Masters. They are Battle Masters. It's interesting to note that we haven't seen anything new of the actual Micro Master price point aside from Countdown, who comes with Omega Supreme.

It's amusing how really good Springer looks and how really godawful Impactor looks.
DotM Prime is my thing. I just finished having a go at painting up my SS32 Prime which is basically the same figure minus the trailer so will likely try painting that one up too when I get it.

I agree 100% and I think we should celebrate since we rarely agree on things. I am surprised though since Springer is very blocky. He wears it as well as anyone could of course but I thought you were against that kind of aesthetic.

SIEGE Springer is a thing of beauty! He makes the Thrilling 30/Generations/Legends version look like hot garbage, and that figure was fantastic!

This statement is so full of wrong, its reset my brain....
To each their own. I actually kinda like Siege Springer, but I think his Thrilling 30 version is better. Hell, I just flat out miss the Thrilling 30 line.

As you said, to each their own. Thrilling 30 Springer was great for the time, but for people (like me) who want a better "G1 Upgrade" of the character, the SIEGE version is the one to get. He's got all the right sculpting, shapes, and colors. It's like he popped right out of the original cartoon and into our hearts display shelves. The T30 version is a nice stylized/reinterpreted version of G1 Springer, hindered partly because of the QC issues with everything tabbing together nice and tight in the alt modes.

I still have fondness for the Marvel UK comics and Springer was often in that and despite the blockiness (which is more acceptable for a comic/toon character, not so much for a realistic one) he's one of the few characters from G1 I still think looks kinda neat for some reason. I still have the 30th thrilling figure but I'm done with. If there is even one Siege figure I may buy it'll probably be this Springer... but I want to see size with other figures cos I hoped it was a deluxe but it says voyager and being voyager was one of the few big issues I had with the 30th figure. He shouldn't be more than a lil taller than associated characters like Hot Rod and Arcee. Even odder than here he's a voyager and Impactor is a deluxe when Impactor is supposed to be the taller one whether IDW or Marvel.

Sabrblade wrote:I fail to see how Siege Springer looks like any kind of upgrade to the G1 cartoon design. Thrilling 30 Springer looked liked an upgrade, while Siege Springer just looks like his normal, unchanged, ordinary base form.
That's the point, Sabr. It's not an upgrade to the G1 character model, it's an upgrade to the G1 toy. G1 with knees/elbows and such. T30 Springer isn't really an "upgrade" of the cartoon model so much as it is a reinterpretation/stylization of the original Springer archetype.
Posted by noctorro on February 19th, 2019 @ 1:45am CST
KSI Boss, looks okay. Already have that Nitro Zeus dude, good solid figure but this guy. Doesn't he need 2 heads? Don't think I'll get him, to much the same.
Drift, don't like the character. If the transformation is easy I might get him at reduced price.
DOTM Optimus, looks great and screen accurate (for once). Won't get him, I have my forrest battle Optimus from the studio series and happy with it.
High Tower, I love Constructicons, even the ROTF ones. This guy is just so pathetic it's almost cute. I'll get them all of course, need that real Devastator.
Dropkick = cool. Will get.
Optimus Prime Bumblebee movie = pure love, will need in my life.
Red Alert, I so love that Sideswipe mold, so slick, so perfect. Will get.
Mirage, also looks perfect, will get.
Siege Optimus Cybertron, again, lots of love, will get.
Omega Supreme, well, he is perfect, magnificent and majestic. Must get.
Springer looks great and bulky. I didn't like the Thrilling 30's version of him and was considering getting Energon Bulkhead.
But now, that's not neccesary, here is Springer.
Jetfire, wow he's a deluxe! I thought he was another big ass leader. Very refreshing. I hope they repaint him to death, looks like a really fun mold!
Thundercracker, I always wanted a voyager G1 seeker trio and felt very sorry for myself when Armada Skywarp had that silly head. Well the mold had a little shoulder articulation problems. But now we have this.
They may repaint this mold all colors of the rainbow, will get them all.
Hasbro is being awesome in my opinion the last years.

Jetfire is NOT a Deluxe, that is an error, he's an $80 Commander Class figure (i.e. bigger than a Leader).
Also, no love for Impactor?

Wave 3 is just Red Alert, Refraktor, and Brunt with no fourth figure.
Wave 4 is Impactor, Mirage, Sixgun (repack), and a mystery figure that's likely Barricade.

HAhaha lol, they got me.
How could they put all that detail and solid body parts into a deluxe.
Well, Commander class (old school Supreme class?) is also good. He'll be towering over everybody like he should.
I don't know Impactor, can't seem to get myself into comics (grew up with cartoons and movies) I'm 34, old and rusty. I do like games, never saw him there.
He looks okay, I might get him.
But man, just way to hyped for Siege and Cyberverse. The new stuff is looking great, simple transformations, more articulation, solid figures (from the looks of it) and G1 as well. A house can only hold so much plastic

Nope. The average Supreme was about 15 inches tall. This Jetfire's only 11 inches, shorter than a CW Combiner.noctorro wrote:Well, Commander class (old school Supreme class?)

Again, in a line where everything's a little smaller, especially leaders, Commander really is like the modern Supreme. And while Hasbro measured him at 11", Takara Tomy measured him at 300mm (11.81 inches), exactly the same as they promoted UW combiners at.

It's not less toy, the weight analysis showed you are getting as much material as before, plus Siege has more paint/detail/steps than any main line of the past 5 years.

Supers (the predecessors of Leaders) used to be that big. Commander is basically the new Super class.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Nope. The average Supreme was about 15 inches tall.

Again, in a line where everything's a little smaller, especially leaders, Commander really is like the modern Supreme. And while Hasbro measured him at 11", Takara Tomy measured him at 300mm (11.81 inches), exactly the same as they promoted UW combiners at.

Yes, but Super was just a new name for Leaders at the same price point and Leaders shrank. Since Leaders are still around that makes the next size up from them the equivalent to the next size up from Super at the time which is Supreme. It'll get mess if we start saying things like "Siege Leaders are the new Ultras". The sizes may be comparable, but that's not exactly how classes should work. It should be based on an ordinal scale (Deluxe, Voyager, Leader), not a figure size (5", 7", 9").

I think all the bright green and the lighting are just bringing out a bit more blue than usual in the gray plastic. Regardless, I love it. It really makes him "pop."

He's a goddanged T-Rex Crane, of course he's ugly! That's part of the appeal!
