It was really Cobotron's list. He's the one who chose the top candidates, if h wants to redo it thats fine by me.

Well, I'd have to have this new one in hand to really determine that, but I'm not afraid of change or improvements, that's for sure.

And hey! Glad to see you back in action Amelie.

Ironhide is a must-buy, Magnus is pretty cool but I’m not interested in most of the others yet. Wonder what the Decepticons look like. . .

Yup. Looks to be fashioned very similarly to the MP Magnus.

There's also a Deluxe Hound, and a blue robot with red missiles or smokestacks sticking out of his shoulders, I can't make out to the far left. EDIT... That's the Deluxe Weaponizer. Whoever he is.


Interesting line.

I still think it is a leader class figure and I actually prefer that way. As for the deluxe weaponizer, I think it is a combination of weapons from other figures. For example, the torso part seems to be from Ultra magnus, as you can see those wheels. It could also very likely to be the other way around, a deluxe figure that can be dissembled into weapons for other robots.

So, uh... What's Magnus doing with an Earthen altmode while everyone else gets Cybertronian ones?

Well what do you know, Ironhide, Hound, and Magnus actually look interesting, especially since they actually look like they have Cybertronian alt modes, unlike Floodlight Prime and his partner-in-crime Sidevents.

I wish there was a clear shot of robot mode Cog in this, instead of just having to pick out which weapon pieces are his parts, but he still interests me.

I...can't tell if the front of Chromia's alt mode has a peghole for a combiner HFG or armor. It might, but this angle doesn't help.

And here I thought more G1 would be boring same old...I mean, some of it is, but some of it is actually surprisingly interesting.

Now, um, Hasbro, question: where are the Decepticons?

Hot. Dang.

Thanks for the new pix!

This new Generations batch looks very promising, but I like the mud/wear effect even less here. Wish this "line unification" would end.

Hasbro decided that, since there's 'brand unification' that they will do like Japanese toyline and only sell heroes.

I can't say there is anything from this line I am interested in yet. Which I am really thankful for given all the money I have spent on 3P this year.

As I thought, all micromasters and weaponizers will be mine...especially the wolf sword...all the rest can go hang but it's only half a display without the people they are fighting against...

Some fantastic stuff there. I think I can see some reimagined members of the old Autobot Race Car Patrol among the Micromasters.

Don't know how I missed this!!

Just took a glance at the slides from the presentation, and we've got a red alert redeco on the way and a prowl it seems.

Now I need the Magnus, even though he will be expensive because he is a Leader Class figure. The Micromasters look great and so do Chromia and Ironhide.

2 questions

Is chromia a repaint of moonraker?

Micromasters look to have same articulation as originals so why bother with new?

william-james88 wrote:

Literally, the best thing they could have done for a new Leader Ultra Magnus. Also very happy it's a leader class figure, as I always Imagine Ultra Magnus as one of, if not the biggest members of the Autobots, not including special cases such as city bots or combiners.

As Emgo always says when reviewing this guy: MAGNUS

Could you provide a source for this?

I've figured out why Optimus has the big lights.
The toyline's subtitle is 'seige', it's supposed to be a heavy battle lots of smoke, in the dark Prime needs the lights to navigate well.

I wonder if you could put optimus prime in that armour...

finally toys done right

It's nothing concrete but it's on the slide showing the title and the graphic showing chromia, the ark and so forth. I mean they could just be for the purposes of illustrations but red alert is the double of sideswipe (which I guess he's supposed to be as they share mold practically all the time)

Yes these look like some VERY interesting toys indeed! In my humble opinion, you can NEVER HAVE TOO MANY ULTRA MAGNUS-i...

Holy shit! This is Dopesauce!

Well, there gores my ability to resist this line.

william-james88 wrote:

Hot Dang!

As far as Micromasters, they have improved the articulation. Looks like Individual legs, with a ball joint hip, and knee mobility. Arms look like a single ball joint, but that's not a big deal to me.

Definitely an upgrade to the originals. Now, it's time to play the guessing game as to what the Decepticon half of waves 1 and 2 look like. Wonder what they are trying to hide.

Also, was there any sign of Titan-class this year? I thought that last year they showcased something at SDCC.

Thanks!

LIONIZER?!

That is simultaneously the best and worst name I've ever heard!

Lioniser...so you're not a wolf...but you're bought anyway as you are a cool looking beast. Cog will also be mine...don't have fort max but I do need someone literally made out of weapons.

Lionizer is not a new character, it was Action Master Rad's weapon

Cyberpath wrote:

Bad News....I'm not seeing a 5mm on the front bumper, pretty sure Chromia is not a combiner component .

I'll reserve judgment on Cog, to see if/how he actually interacts with TR Fort Max

Ah well at least she's visually consistent with the other fembots of her team.

They sure did a good job of getting the G1 robot mode right on Ultra Magnus, and then (classic) RID Magnus for the alt mode.

Still going to be hard to beat CW Ultra Magnus though.

Looks like I'm going to have to set up a separate shelf for this line, was hoping it could be incorporated into neo-G1 but that Ironhide won't fit, and that oh so very very nice Cog won't either.

There is an official Transformers Facebook page and Instagram account, but did you know there was an Instagram account for Hasbro Pulse as well? Well they do, and it turns out this is where they uploaded all the Transformers Siege official renders.

Below you will find the official images for:

• Hound
• Battle Master Lionizer (who was Action Master Rad's weapon)
• Micromasters two packs Battle Patrol, Race Patrol, Rescue Patrol.
• COG - Weaponizer partsformer
• Ironhide
• Chromia (who does not combine)
• Leader class Ultra Magnus, which is a White Prime cab with armor

Which of these do you like best? Let us know!



















And here is G1 Lionizer, for those curious

Thry DID IT. HOLY CRAP THEY DID IT.

They Generation'd RID MAGNUS. WHOO HOT DIGGITY HOO!

he turns ibto a car carrier THAT ALMOST ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A CAR CARRIER. Bought SO FAST.

*ah hem* hound is actually giving me second thoughts, but I want a Hound with good feet.

Ironhide looks like fun, but without Ratchet, I'll probably get him for play value vut I dont think he'll replace the Votcon duo just yet

Love the minicons Mixromasters.

I was hoping for an Ironhide, but at the Voyager scale. Looks like this guy is just Deluxe class. I wonder if he will at least be a little bigger in stature than the Universe 2008 Ironhide mold. Siege Ironhide does look good in robot mode, and I'll be sold if we get a Ratchet retool and redeco to go with him.

Unless Chromia does turn out to be Combiner Wars compatible, she's a hard pass. The Thrilling 30/TF Legends version is far superior. I don't need another member of Alpha Trion's Angels with the same body type either. Moonracer and Firestar are sufficient for that mold.

Hound looks VERY interesting. I'm digging that his alt mode pretty much looks like his old G1 jeep alt mode with a roof. It can easily pass as a mildly stylized Earth-based vehicle. His Universe 2008 mold still holds up quite well, though.

Ultra Magnus is a neat surprise, with his alt mode being decidedly Car Robots/RiD 2001 in style and using the original G1 "white Optimus Prime with armor pieces" gimmick. However, as I said a few pages back, I'm happy with the Combiner Wars mold, so this is also a pass.

All of the Battlemasters and Micromasters will be bought. No doubt about that. It's interesting to see that the Battlemasters won't strictly be "Targetmasters," but include melee weapons as well as guns.

Chromia would be my pick of the bunch. Lets hope she doesn't get short packed like Moonracer did. Still never found that figure

Hm not really digging the style of these. Way too blocky for my tastes. It's cute seeing the Micromasters back though but each patrol seems to have lost half of it's members? I was quite fond of the Race Car Patrol back then but my fave was the yellow Lambo (free wheeler i think his name was) who isn't in that shot. Always did like the Battle Patrol's earthy tones too. I'd like to see Micromasters next to Legends/Legion figures though I suspect the Micros are a smaller scale going by their simpler look and obvious screw hole in the torso. Basically the old size but with more articulation?

So...who wants to translate the Cybertronian (or is it Japanese...I cant tell...) on Stakeout's Car Door, being so obvious this time around, I would hope it would not be something offensive to some, or at least it could be caught in time for Hasbro to make the change...

If the thing I read on Twitter was right, it just says police.

If you’re still wanting a Moonracer you can find her on eBay and Amazon for around $20 shipped if you are patient and check for a few days (the price fluctuates a little). HTS has her in stock sometimes for $17 but you’d have to pay shipping if you don’t order more stuff.

It says, "I'm with Her."

I'll go out on a limb and say they'll be later waves.

Everything is offensive to someone these days.

Burn wrote:Everything is offensive to someone these days.

I'm offended by that statement (j/k)...but I was hoping it read "Holi" as a little nod to the Japanese characters name.

Clearly it says Hashtag Not My President.

Man, is every writing of Cybertronian on a figure going to get people paranoid that it's some coded message?
