Notably, while we saw painted prototypes at San Diego Comic Con, these displays appear to be composed of finished samples - meaning this is an even better impression of what the final toys will look like! Featured in the display are Micromasters, both Battle Masters revealed so far, Hound, Sideswipe, Cog, a gray-prototype Ultra Magnus (the odd one out not being colored), and way too many Optimus Primes. This is also further evidence of the continuing "brand unity" between Hasbro and Takara-Tomy, as the figures do appear to be identical between the two companies' lines.
Check out the images below, and share your thoughts in the Energon Pub Forums! And don't forget to stay tuned for more images from various toylines, as WonFes rolls ever onward!
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

What happened to Hound's opaque windows? Were those only from the stock CG renders, or is this sample different than the one at SDCC?

the SDCC were hand painted more or less figurines. Mock ups. Not sure why they painted the windows on those, but these are likely the first toys off the assembly line. Not quite rubber stamped with HasTak's seal of approval, but 98% of the way there.
personally, I am glad he has a windshield and not a blast shield.

Cog just keeps looking better and better to me. Though, that's probably me just being a sucker for Transformers that can be used as armor/weapons/power-ups for others while still having a separate vehicle mode unlike pure weapons-formers

Gasket and Grommet are but the tip of the iceberg for how many components Cog can split into. Dude's a literal walking arsenal now.Prime Target wrote:Please tell me can split into Gasket and Grommet

It’s amazing how much better and appeasing these look when care is taken with transforming an posing them. I actually kinda want Optimus and I didn’t even want him before because he looks so much better!
I also dig the boxes for this line too.

You know, when I first saw Ultra Magnus had his Car robots Alt Mode I was head over Heels beyond thrilled. At last, he’s got an Auto Carrier alt mode that actually looks like its a thing. Sure, its his G1 bot mode. Sure, the trailer is a parts former. But its a GOOD Alt mode.
But I am starting to really cool off about it now. There’s no way I’m not gonna buy it, but I am starting to lean back towards “Maybe the CW Mags is the better figure. I do however like the Siege Magnus is gonna have 5mm hands so I can use the Dr. Wu hammer and gun that doesn’t quite sit.in CW’s hands right. I hope someone comes out with Blue Bolts for him. That was a SiCK weapons platform.
Prime’s red plastic looks thin. Maybe its just me?
Seeing Sideswipe again, he’s still a pass. And while I like what they are doing with Cog, he’s not a priority. I don’t have Max, so there’s that) Will wait for SixGun.
I AM however getting more excited for Hound. I am glad to see he has a windshield. And Ironhide looks like a lot of fun. I just hope we get a Ratchet.

I actually like Hound a lot more now with clear windows, but what happened to his box art head? How weird did things get in the concept stages before they settled on his G1 head?
Now for some backtracking. I forgot to point this out when everyone was trying to decipher the second poster and I'm surprised nobody else did. Check out who's hanging out in the background. It's nothing we didn't assume was happening, but it's nice to see:
Wheeljack, plus Red Alert again.
And at first I thought this was Ironhide, but the chest is all wrong so maybe it's Impactor who won the fan poll with Mirage. Doesn't seem quite right either.

I like they're going with boxes. Easier to ship and store.

I'm so pleased to see (close to?) production items, they all look so much better to my eye than the protos seen last weekend. OP looks loads better, and Hound looks great.
I can't wait to see production Magnus! And closer views of the packaging - I like what I see.

I know it's a small detail, but come on! Can't they remember to paint that little blue square on Optimus Prime's...uh...pelvis? Cod piece? You know what I'm talking about. It's the one detail that's missing from an otherwise almost perfect paint job.
Also, what's up with both Takara and Hasbro coloring the vents on Optimus Prime's shins gray? What is that from!? It's not G1 toy sticker or paint detail, and it's not from the original cartoon either, but even MP-10 includes those gray shins for some reason. It boggles the mind.

Hound looks a lot better to me here, and Cog, well I was getting him anyway. Also love how someone posed one of the micromasters by doing the splits 
Still no cons though, I hope they are good enough to live up to the hype

I don't want to burst the hope balloon here, but there is and will be no difference between the two releases since the unification of the companies. There may still be changes in paint though, before they hit mass release in September!
EDIT: I just realised... they.. they All have ankle tilts.

Yes, they said at SDCC that improved articulation, paintjob etc. instead of including an (active) gimmick to address collectors more.

I know. I was there.
I just hadn't fully realised that all the figures in the line (bar Micro and Battle Masters) had ankle tilts too.
That neither the hand painted Hasbro display from SDCC, not the Wonderfest Takara version might be the final retail version! Even official images can often be early versions of the final colour scheme, so either option is still valid, and we'll only know once they hit retail.
