2018 events revealing Transformers Siege WFC

Are the red and grey cars mating?

Apparently it's a combined weapon mode.

Is it not enough that Transformers toys have just two modes any more, where the gimmick is "transforming".... that they need to give it an extra gimmick (to sell it to retailers), that often ruins the engineering or adds kibble... or like in this case, creates a totally messed up combined form.

Do we have release dates for wave 1 yet?

Do we have release dates for wave 1 yet?

A lot of people over on TFW seem to believe wave 1 is coming really soon. POTP only has the Novastar wave before it is complete, so probably isn’t too far away.

Do we have release dates for wave 1 yet?

Takara have their releases starting on feb, considering how Hasbro POTP have been at least a couple of months ahead, I'd assume it'll be sooner rather than later

The last couple of years have had January releases of the new toylines, with early releases in some countries just before Christmas.

I have a very distinct memory of Titans Return reaching us in the middle of 2016, though I'm not sure how far behind the rest of the world we were with that.

The Starscream underbelly is awful.

Yeah, the Titanium WW Tetrajets were far superior. Their heads were just a bit small.

Starscream in robot REALLY looks like he does in the new Bbee trailer. I wonder if this is the idea behind ‘Seige of Cybertron’ - that it’s showing all the battle damaged bots left back on their home planet

Leaked images of Optimus and Megatron in packaging.


Also, some new Amazon listings that confirm some names, and reveal a new character (Barricade).

• Deluxe Mirage “fan vote Autobot”
• Deluxe Impactor “fan vote Decepticon” – these two listings seem to confirm individual releases and not a two pack which was somewhat implied by the original fan vote.
• Deluxe Red Alert – hinted at in official artwork and seen in promotional renders of Brunt
• Deluxe Barricade – a new reveal
• Deluxe Brunt – seen at New York Comic Con
• Deluxe Reflector / Refraktor – seen at New York Comic Con. Buy three to make the camera mode.

I have TR Trypticon, so I guess that means I'll need to get Brunt. Besides, I'm not averse to 'parts-formers' and rather like the notion of a bot who disintegrates into weapons for his comrades.

A lot of these look stylistically cool except, I'm not sold on the battle damage thing. I've never liked 'pre-distressed' clothing and I think it's annoying in Transformers too.
