Toys Revealed During Transformers Fanstream Include Cosmos, Roadrocket and More

Welp, gotta get Burnout out to use as SG Skids!

Given its name and colours Burnout had written "Decepticon" all over it - shame witnessing it become yet another Autobot. Not entirely convinced by Cosmos, looks a little too much like a thrash bin; Roadrocket is a welcome surprise, as SG Wheeljack/Slicer.

Oh wowza, I did not expected SG 'Jack, definitely nabbing that, especially to repurpose as Slicer (I'm sure that's going to be intended anyway much like how SG Magnus could be officially repurposed too). Road Rocket and Burnout both look really good, I'm definitely getting those. (Still waiting for a Flamewar retool too.)
I might get Clampdown to partner up with Cordon, too. (May need some reprolabels to look as slavish as Clampdown, though...)
Also hmm, still not sure about Black Convoy/Scourge. I'll wait to see if they actually might do a Toxitron redeco before considering it however.
Also hmm, the lighting makes that IDW Blurr look more presentable, I may at least get him as a crowd filler... (Still not a big fan of the design...)
But all in all these were pretty good reveals!

Edit: Wow I am a giddy goat, I meant to say that I did not expect Slicer and would be fun to repurpose as Jacky.
I guess I let excitement blur my brain a little!

I don't follow the current SG story but let me get this straight. This Slicer is SG evil Autobot Wheeljack who went undercover as the heroic Decepticon Slicer? Or something like that? Doesn't matter either way, I already picked the set up. Got three actually. One Slicer will be standard Decepticon Slicer. One will be SG Wheeljack. I'll worry about what to do with the third Slicer later. I'll sell it as some point probably. I have until next year to figure it out. I love that it comes with two new guns. I don't recall them mentioning anything about them in the livestream.

I love how there's three female characters in the Speedia line. Not often you see that.

Road Rocket looks really good. Those colors just look amazing on that mold and in general. That is one nice looking shade of red. Might be because it's paired with black. Might be the hints of blue. Don't know but it looks good. The painted shuriken on the arm blades is pretty funny.

Cosmos looks awesome. I don't recall them mentioning anything about him being a partial but I can see how the leakers thought he was made from Warpath. There are some similar transformation elements in where the robot mode parts end up in the vehicle mode and how they get from one place to another but they don't look like they share anything at all so far. Some of the pieces on Cosmos look familiar, like the legs, but they don't line up with anything I'm thinking of like Origin Bumblebee, Kingdom Warpath or Earthrise Cliffjumper. It's just kind of odd for a store exclusive line to get two new molds that aren't retools of anything else so far.

Burn Out would indeed make for a cool Decepticon name but it's not entirely Hasbro's fault making her an Autobot. That honor goes to Funpub. Personally I'd love to have seen more of the Diaclone decos be Decepticons instead of Autobots. We have Exhaust and Loudpedal and that's it. DK-2 Guard (but I guess we kind of have that with the Deseeus Drone), red Skids/SG Skids (not Reboost as that's red Crosscut), red Mirage, Burn Out, Lift Ticket, Spin Out and whatever the names of the blue and yellow Trailbreaker and/or Hoist figures will be would make for some great Decepticons. Tigertrack, Crosscut, Road Rage, Clamp Down and Deep Cover have been named for so long though that I don't think it would go down easy to switch their allegiances now. Reboost and Cordon can stay Autobots. Blue Bluestreak could've been a Decepticon too lol. Not that I can't just put some new labels over their existing sigils myself though. Otherwise, I actually like the Skids mold. It's not amazing but it's not too bad.

The rest we've seen.

Scourge looks great but it's a shame about the colors with the name and the lack of paint on the translucent parts of the shoulders.

Override looks amazing. She may or may not be worth the voyager tag blah blah blah.

Clamp Down makes my custom Siege Clamp Down obsolete. Just like what happened with Deep Cover and Tigertrack.

Blurr looks good. Shame it's not a "pretool" of Pointblank as Armada/Cybertron Blurr. I don't really like the SS Blur mold overall.

Road Hauler is okay. He may or may not be Hauler. Screaming head is cool but should be extra and not the main head. Some people hate animation errors. Something something something Darksyde. Something something something complete.

How do we prepare 4 tommorow's target preorders if hasbro didn't talk about it today? Any info on the buzzworthy worlds collide Ransack 4 pack? Particularly,I need 2 know what that Goldbug is going 2 look like beforehand so I'll know if I'm going 2 Want 2 order it.Comon sense, right?

Honestly I just assumed Goldbug would be the Cliffjumper mold w/ SG Goldbug's head in normal Goldbug colours.

Hahahahaha

Man, the stuff today was really good.

I decided I am getting all of the Velocitron figures. I'll talk about them in their thread.

Prime Optimus and Megatron give me fits. I like how they look! But the RED figures are such bad quality. I want to like them, but I didn't get Knockout because of Arcee's quality and I feel the same towards these 2.

SG Wheeljack is neat, I like the G1 Slicer action master component too

Glad the x over quality is improving even if it has to use pre hasbro x overs to do it as for the Tonka decy really cool but I'm pretty sure no one would attribute Tonka quality to g1 devy haha

To answer your question, $104.99.

the price is not too unfair imho, but still not worth the investment for me. I have the last Devy re-issue, and I literally just sold off my street fighters, so I'm good passing on all of these.

They went up on time! https://goto.target.com/c/1137247/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Ftransformers-c ... A-86918794

Hey, Autobot Constructicons! Names are... interesting. They love the word "mega" apparently.

Tonkanator
Mega Dozer
Power Digger
Motorload
Skyhook
Mega Hauler
Motormix

I wonder if they were going to just name the guy Hauler before they realized it was not only already taken but being used by Walmart for Road Hauler.

Pretty neat, ordered mine for $105.
