Airachnid toy reveal and interesting new Cyberverse stuff

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Catalogue scan at TFW2005.com (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/images-of-transformers-prime-airachnid-deadend--ultra-magnus-figures-revealed-174711/).

Deluxe Airachnid, somewhat lurid 'Dead End' Wheeljack retool (new head), new-mold Ultra Magnus Cyberverse commander, and a few new Legions, including an Arcee mold repaint into Decepticon Flamewar.
Airachnid looks about as you'd expect. Helicopter altmode, 3 propellers/spider legs (too short to work as show-esque legs :( ), and webby-looking spanking paddle guns.
Dead End is pretty meh.
Magnus looks pretty good, very Prime style.

The prime toy designers are not overly creative are they?

Magnus could not be a poorer copy of his animated design, and the repaints are very garish (Normally I like garish!).

Not doing themselves any favours to sustaining my interest in the toys, the Cyberverse figures look okay for their size, but not for their price point here.

If it weren't for the images of new moulds in a legitimate looking catalogue, those redecos (especially Dead End) would be easily dismissed as an April Fools Day joke (and I'm still hoping that one is).

I'm slightly disappointed that the Wheeljack redeco we're getting isn't Slicer but I'm totally happy with Dead End here. Love all that green.

UM Looks to be a Cyberverse Commander?

And OMG Flamewar!!

[griffin]

Just updated the Checklist with the new figures revealed in these catalogue scans:

TFPrime Deluxe
Dead End (redeco Wheeljack w new head - Decep?)
Shadow Strike Bumblebee (redeco Bumblebee? - Auto)
Airracchnid (new - Decep)

TFPrime Legion
Wheeljack (redeco w/ new weapon - Auto)
Quickblade Bumblebee (black redeco w/ new weapon - Auto)
Flamewar (redeco Arcee w/ new weapon - Decep)

TFPrime Commander
Ultra Magnus (new - Auto)
Optimus Prime (redeco w/ new weapons - Auto)


Everything else has been revealed already.

(I'm kinda wondering if the "Shadow Strike Bumblebee" might just be the Asian name for Hotshot, as the name is at the top of the pic for Dead End, and you can see a bit of Hotshot to one side... and no image of a redeco Bumblebee - which the person would have scanned as well if it was something new)

[griffin]

Actually, this picture posted up on Seibertron (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/TNT007/19824198.jpg), proves that Shadow Strike Bumblebee, IS NOT an alternate name for Hotshot (in what ever country this catalogue was for).
Now I gotta hunt down the source of these pics, to see if more pages were scanned, showing us SS Bumblebee.

I guess the person who did these scans aren't a big fan of Bumblebee to care about showing us yet another redeco. :p

I like Airrachnid. Good thing she's getting a toy. Would've been ridiculous if Dreadwing gets his but she doesnt when clearly she is more than just a recurring character now.

Does this mean we're getting an Ultra Magnus figure in Voyager or mebbe even Leader Class... I hope so as well as an Ironhide.

Airachnid looks like one of those generic goon helicopters, but with pincers coming out her sides. She's coming to get ya! Oh yeah oh yeah!

I'm picking her up fo' sure. Or is she picking me up with those pincers?

Ah well, I'm excited!

Airachnid looks fan-fragging-tastic, seriously can't wait for this toy!

The rest range from atrocious (Dead End) to uninspired (Ultra Magnus).

100% agree man, can't wait to get this descendant of Blackarachnia. :D

[UltraMarginal]

Airachnid I'm super keen for, pity they couldn't streamline her propeller blades a bit better but they're OK.

Ironhide and UltraMagnus look interesting, but the redeco's without a show character I'll be leaving by the wayside.

[Pipesqueak]

With those colours, Dead End looks like a good sidekick for Botcon Toxitron.

100% agree man, can't wait to get this descendant of Blackarachnia. :D
Was Tracer (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tracer_%28G1_Decepticon%29) the father? :p ;) :p

Lol :D A toy that was given an awful colour scheme on purpose. ;) The new head looks interesting... I wish they'd given this retool Slicer-inspired colours and named him Makeshift (the colours could be Makeshift's Decepticon colours - after all we only ever saw him as a shadow-shrouded silhouette before he took on Wheeljack's form).

[Hursticon]

Was Tracer (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tracer_%28G1_Decepticon%29) the father? :p ;) :p

Yes! :p:D

Interesting, I'm pretty pleased with that Airachnid mold. I think there's a fair chance we'll see a voyager down the line... Are you all keeping up to date with the episodes?
Anyway, a voyager would allow for more legs, if they perhaps made larger propellers that split or something.
The pincers are quite Blackarachnia-esque. I like.

I think this covers all the next wave items in that Chinese catalogue - the redeco Bumblebee AS Shadow Strike Bumblebee (http://snakas.blog95.fc2.com/blog-entry-2325.html) (which makes it the third of that mould in just 4 waves of Deluxes).

I think Ironhide should be in that wave as well, as its redeco (Kup) is in wave 5, but we haven't seen any images revealed of it yet so it may have been pushed back.
