New stock images for Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege from Dengeki Hobby magazine.

I'm interested in the smaller characters that haven't seen a release since the '80s. I like the magnus a lot but I'll probably wait for a special version without weathering.

Or it could mean a late minute change with hasbro um, either way wouldn't hurt to ask hasbro about it.

Just Cog for definite, Maybe Magnus and the micromasters. Fire-Drive looks nice so if he is cheap then he will be a cheerful purchase. I was almost tempted on Prime but I'm currently back to not bothering with him.

I don't like the dirt on these figures. I got some 91% proof and paint ready to clean up Ultra Magnus and Sideswipe. Love the new alt-mode on Magnus. I always felt he should have had a futuristic form like the other '86 movie bots.

I'm pretty disappinted to see that Takara's version have the same weathered paint jobs as the Hasbro's. One of the previous magazine reveals gave me a sliver of hope, but it looks like that was bunk.

That's what I want to do as well if the six gun rumour is true then we should have lots of options open to us to create walking machines of pure death.

hmm..nice to see stock photos...I think I'll only be getting the Magnus and the Delorean (Swindler). I don't know why Magnus has been treated differently. Minimus Ambus was a cool concept but could have been done with another character. I've always preferred my Magnus to be a white version of Prime. Since that original Prime design is neat but not necessarily the best character.

Have we ever seen a white prime Magnus featured in any animation? I know comics had Dreamwave, and WFC/FOC had the chassis idea. That it's a mold and they share the same chassis. But that's about it? You could say TFP had that, but it wasn't white repaint.

Looks like Magnus has a wrist Swivel.

If I get this Magnus he'll be the only Magnus I'd keep. Has enough g1 cues and is a modern official one. The FOC one had red eyes with I hated and never got.

Never trust a render or the hand painted prototypes.
They are never the same as the final product.

Probably Hasbro will also be going with red. What we've seen so far has been a silver gun, not white, which didn't make a whole lot of sense since he doesn't have any silver plastic on him meaning they had to paint the whole gun anyway (and in fairness this is the first time we've seen UM in molded colors, not hand painted). It makes me wonder if the silver was just a placeholder until they came up with a design they liked. I think most of us would have just preferred if it were molded white and left alone.

What exactly is going on in this pic? Apart from weird car robot sex?
