WFC wave 2 official images

[griffin]

From various online stores have come official images of wave 2 of the Siege series.
Voyager - Starscream, Soundwave.
Deluxe - Ironhide, Chromia, Prowl, Sixgun.
Micro Masters - Laserbeak/Ravage, Red Heat/Stakeout.
Battle Masters - Aimless, Pteraxadon.
(Leaders Ultra Magnus and Shockwave are wave 1, but look like they won't be released until wave 2 of the other sizes.)

Apparently due out in February (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/12/21/war-for-cybertron-siege-wave-2-stock-images-379404) (globally)... or later here if we don't get wave one here by then.

Ravage appears to have over indulged in the lead up to Christmas.

[Omega Metro]

It would make my day if they released all the seekers the same as this Starscream version.

[Dan]

A few thoughts on seeing these images...

- I'm looking forward to seeing what fan-modes people develop, especially for Soundwave.

- The concept of Ravage and Lazerbeak in the same two-pack is amazing, for someone from the 80s who had to choose one at a time (along with a robot with a naming problem that was, let's face it, never the main attraction).

- Pteraxadon looks like it comes complete with some translucent blue splatty bird poo! :p

- Also it took me actually spelling the name of the above toy to realize that it's a pun. :o

Either that or it was always leg day at the gym :D

Well that’s the dream isn’t it. Every Seeker released in the same mold AND commercially available. Suitably subtly changed for Coneheads and Femmebots. No TTMall or TCCFSS bullpucky - just right there on the shelves.

Itll never happen sadly. Never. :(

[griffin]

I think the three main ones will probably happen, even if one ends up being a store exclusive... and I fear it is more than likely, because the Voyager size class is usually the slowest to sell. (when it was announced that POTP Starscream was a Voyager, I knew that it was really unlikely that we'd see it redecoed into Skywarp and Thundercracker)

If WFC Starscream was a Deluxe mould, we would see the three main seekers in the first 2-3 waves, and at least 2 more before the end of the regular line, and 1 or 2 other ring-ins like Acidstorm and Sunstorm as store exclusives.

There is the added bonus of Thundercracker and Skywarp being some of the very first characters particularly in the tetrajet form, which hopefully sways them in favour of releasing at least them.

[KELPIE]

Out of this lot, I'll probably grab Starscream, Sixshot, the Rescue Patrol and the Targetmaster.

[Omega Metro]

I love the red ‘blood effect’ pieces on the Battle Master. Will go great with my Marvel Legends fighting scenes.:D

Wave 2 might have started appearing in Asia, or in the hands of Asian dealers for release soon, as galleries of them have started being released online - Micromasters (http://news.tfw2005.com/2019/01/11/war-for-cybertron-siege-micromasters-wave-2-laserbeak-ravage-and-red-heat-stakeout-in-hand-images-380671) (cassettes and Rescue Patrol) - Deluxe Prowl (http://news.tfw2005.com/2019/01/13/siege-deluxe-wave-2-prowl-in-hand-images-380811) - Deluxe Chromia (http://news.tfw2005.com/2019/01/12/siege-deluxe-wave-2-chromia-in-hand-images-380767).

[griffin]

Two more from wave 2 - Sixgun (http://news.tfw2005.com/2019/01/16/war-for-cybertron-siege-wave-2-deluxe-weaponizer-six-gun-in-hand-images-380971) and Ironhide (http://news.tfw2005.com/2019/01/20/in-hand-images-of-wave-2-siege-deluxe-ironhide-381149).

[griffin]

More from wave 2 look to have appeared in Asia, with in-hand pics of Voyager Soundwave and Starscream (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/02/19/war-for-cybertron-siege-starscream-and-soundwave-in-hand-images-383652) (only robot modes though).

[griffin]

Soundwave fan-mode (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/02/20/siege-soundwave-tape-deck-mode-383691)... to look like a cassette player. One picture has the legs at an angle, while the other looks like it might have the arms stuck out the back to make room for the legs.

[Bidoofdude]

Ironhide is looking pretty great with a nice size to boot. Generations Trailcutter and Hoist were good toys but the size seemed to diminish a lot of that for people.

Really excited to see Ratchet, unless he is miraculously cancelled/impossible to find. I honestly wouldn't mind either a red or white head on him.

I want to jump on Prowl, given they're making a Bluestreak, but I really hope they show a Smokescreen soon as well before I make the plunge. I got burned hoping for a not blue Bluestreak from the CW mould, so as soon as we get some form of confirmation, I'll be dumping them in favour of the new ones.

It is being noted that the wave 2 Voyager Starscream toy, has a running change (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/03/18/transformers-war-for-cybertron-siege-voyager-starscream-possible-running-change-385488).
Apparently there is a place in the chest for a pin, that is now being included after the first batch, that provides greater stability for the chest panel when transforming the toy.
This should also hopefully mean that the redecos (Thundercracker and maybe Skywarp) will also have the pin.

The topic on TFW has now been closed, with people suspecting that there isn't a running change, claiming that it had all been faked because no one else has been able to find one. Usually running changes take a while to hit circulation, so if the one with a pin was found in Asia, it might not show up in western markets for another month or two... but it is also possible that a collector has custom-added a pin to their toy because they saw the holes there, and the images have been circulated by people who have then guessed that it was official (which has happened before).
