Must be the former because this is the only TF fan site I visit. Just a very lucky guess is all.
I'm sticking with my guess of either Metal Hawk or a Siege Seeker retool. For Prime probably the Siege mold since I think it gives them more freedom to mess around with the truck mode. I can't see them going Deluxe, but maybe Hound could be used for Roller if there's a bottom half of the set featuring some Dekuxe figures.
Watch them do Impactor again.

Hi Transformer fans!
I hope you all enjoyed today's livestream where we showed off the Nitro gaming chairs, Elite Robosen Prime, some of the upcoming Studio Series figures, the next wave of Legacy Pipeline reveals and our exclusive capsule for the year.
I wanted to post a few pics from our "Rise of Tyranny" and "Humble Origins" 2 packs that you can pre order now on Amazon and Hasbro Pulse.
As I said in the stream, this capsule is focusing on a Pre-war and Pre-faction Cybertron that pulls from a lot of our different continuities from over the years.
It's something I've been wanting to do and was happy when the team got on board and let me do some weird stuff to names most would be familiar with but maybe not in this context.
The most controversial I'm sure is the Data Clerk Orion Pax since he is a mix mash of several designs. His color breaks are pulled from the Aligned continuity. Chest and head design from different IDW comics. He's sort of the embodiment of what this capsule is and how we're pulling from all over.
Also, as I said, I just like it when Orion Pax starts out smaller. Perhaps the body design most folks want will be coming in the future but we needed a stepping stone to show this stage in Orion Pax's life.
Same with Miner Megatron as he certainly has other major life events that he goes through before becoming the Tyrannical Megatron we all know.
Senator Shockwave and Ratbat were part of a theme of " Strange cybertronian shapes that fly." I figure those bots that have that sort of functionality would have considerably higher social standing than those that have to travel the ground. "Your alt mode dictates your function" is just a fantastic bit of pre war story telling that I love and hope we can dive back into again someday.
But I hope you all enjoyed the stream and please be on the look out for more reveals in the coming future!

On top of the Megatron/Ratbat pack we see a Golden Character's legs with the saying "Freedom is the Right of all *something* Beings (that 2nd to last word is fuzzy in all the pics I've seen and I cant make it out). I'm sure its some sort of perversion of Optimus' iconic quote.
On top of the Orion/Shockwave pack, we see a shadowy purple/black pair of legs. I'm sure those who are familiar with the story have a fairly good guess at who these may be.... So, anyone want to share?

Pretty sure the statue isn't a clue, since that's the statute of Prima that's on the Senate floor in the comic as opposed to being something they made up for the box art, and they most likely copied that here since it's just a detail of the Senate as a location (also I highly doubt PRIMA is happening out of nowhere in this subline, especially given the slots we have left).o.supreme wrote:ok, so much like the Wreckers packs last year, we know there will be more of these coming from Amazon.

....oh no, they did use that picture, didn't they.Sowndwave76 wrote:After seeing the image of Bombshell shown during the stream, I’m hoping that was a hint they’ll be making/painting his torso gray and not purple…
But who knows, Shrapnel’s back is purple and not black.

Like with ratbat and Megatron, I care about one character but not the other. And don't really like the mold for the character I care about. I like that orion Pax comes with an axe, but I already have the other orion and don't need the Hound mold version. Having senator Shockwave would be so cool because his fate is tragic and interesting, but that mold is a weird choice. Granted, the only figure of that mold I have is sparkless Seeker. So it's not a tired mold for me

Yes, and rightfully so.
I’m a G1 fan that has never demanded or wanted everything to be G1.
But when figures of G1 characters are made,
I want them to look G1, not “G1”.

I'm gonna guess "show-accurate" vs. not.

Ah yes, because how could I forget that the only thing that is truly G1 is the animation error that is Bombshell's Sunbow bot mode colors, and not his G1 toy, packaging art, comic appearances, and/or his alt mode colors in the same show. That's clearly why every iteration and appearance of Bombshell that's ever come out since the Sunbow cartoon has made him that iconic grey, right?Sowndwave76 wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:....oh no, they did use that picture, didn't they.Sowndwave76 wrote:After seeing the image of Bombshell shown during the stream, I’m hoping that was a hint they’ll be making/painting his torso gray and not purple…
