Hasbro has been over at MCM London Comic Con and giving fans an early first look at the upcoming Age of the Primes Commander Class Onslaught! YouTuber Toys Are Russ was spending time with the Hasbro Transformers team and given some alone time with the figure still in an early test stage to mess around with and check some of the finer details. Onslaught himself now makes up only the cab (which is a fully realized vehicle in itself) while the trailer forms the frame. Russ was able to get a lot of group shots to show off his size including one with Combiner Wars Onslaught.

Russ was able to come back later to have some questions answered with Evan Brooks. In the second video we're shown that the tailer and cab do have a pivot between them making the full vehicle capable of turning and pivoting. Evan also confirmed that we'll be getting one combiner per year from here on. Evan also said that Ruination was a likely future box set, but also acknowledged that the Combaticons have a lot of repaint potential like Battle Gaia and that it would be a few years. Evan also still insists a Breakdown reissue is coming in the future.

Smaller than a voyager? Ugh. I know he comes with the frame and it looks good a s truck but Holy cow. Too small for the price.

What are you talking about? He's the same height as Soundwave and taller than Thundercracker. It's Optimus who's gargantuan.

Onslaught looks really nice.

Can't wait to have him.

Already pre-ordered Blastoff and Brawl!.

Yep, Brawl and Blast Off were what I pre-ordered from this batch. $75 effing dollars for a Deluxe and a Voyager. $15 markup from a a month ago. #-o

Underwhelming for Onslaught I was expecting a beast but he sorta looks half cooked and that vehicle mode looks like its from 15 years ago with all the exposed parts. After the excellent Menasor and Superion, Onslaught is definitely the weakest looking of the bunch.

Finally have the four limb-bots for Superion. Really dig them. Just gotta get Silverbolt now!

Flatline and Megatron arrived.

Megatron is superb. Engineering genius. Turret is a bit crap in tank mode and I ain't sold on the fusion cannon but neither detracts from that glorious robot mode at all. The transformation is sublime.

Flatline, I wanted because he's a Decepticon medic. We don't get those. Plus I want Red Alert (Just him for the original Armada trio with Prime & Hot Shot) and this figure has 100% sold me on him. Flatline looks amazing in the all black and red and the lightpiping for his eyes is savage! REALLY pleased with him. Great toy!

I agree that the robot mode is very well done. However, the cannon does detract from it, the front half is too short and the back half shouldn't look like a cylinder but more like a funnel. The tank mode is also acceptable, if far from perfect.

I am amused that for the Skybound Optimus, they got the Fusion Cannon perfect. But not for Megatron.

Yeah, the tank is fine. Main hull is very good. Turret, not so much.

Hate to break it to ya, but Megatron isn't an Age of the Primes toy.

I'm aware, but, until this recent change of removing the greebling, that was largely semantics.

Flatline, however, is. As are the four Aerialbots. All mentioned in my post that started this particular conversation.

I'm too lazy to dig up the PotP thread.
So, regarding the PotP Titan Predaking reissue, is it worth getting, or it will be pointless because new molds à la SS86 Devastator will come out soon? :-?

Could have posted in the news topic.

Personally, I think it was a poor choice to reissue. We know they'll be remaking him in the future plus there's the Adamas Machina version which is basically a Generation figure (large team leader and smaller limb bots) at a Masterpiece price point so there's other options. I think with Predaking and Nemesis a pencil pusher was looking at the current eBay prices rather than thinking ahead. And then to set both to release in the same time frame was really strange.

Looks like it was a fairly good decision on the pencil pusher, both Predaking and Nemesis are currently sold out on Pulse. I got my Predacons back when it first released and it is a great combiner, when combined. The individual figures are hit and miss, but overall awesome to me. I never have to buy the Predacons again.

Following up the recent Selects G2 set of Snarl and Slug, we have our first look at the second set consisting of G2 Swoop and Sludge. Both figures are based on figures unreleased in the original G2 line similar to the yellow G2 Grimlock we got in the Walmart Toxitron capsule line. Of particular note, Swoop now features a new head based on the original toy. As per usual these Selects figures will be made available through fan channels, though pre-orders release date haven't been announced as of yet. More info as we get it!

Silly question. Why wasn't the og G2 of these toys ever released back in the day?

The G2 line didn't set the world on fire so Hasbro cut its losses.

Yeah. G2 struggled because it couldn't compete against the new hotness of the time, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

I don't even think it's that. Transformers lasted WAY longer than most lines do, people were ready to move on.

People had already moved on, G2 was supposed to be the comeback. But these weren't making the cut after the brand moved to doing new molds instead of bringing back old ones.

Transformers did die for a couple of years after 1990 in the US, with G2 fully starting up in 1993.

G2 was started as an attempt to revitalize the brand after its post-1990 US absence, but it couldn't cut the muster after just two years, ending prematurely in 1995, with the brand being given to Kenner to try something new with it. Had Kenner not reinvented it from the ground up as Beast Wars, the Transformers brand would have simply been put out to pasture.
