Like the Armada and Energon themed figures we saw in Legacy, this is a very faithful design as opposed to a « G1 » reimagining like we saw with the Prime and RID2015 characters.
This looks great! Also, I'm not sure if it's just me, but it does look like he has a more G1-inspired head than his original.
Do we know what size this guy is?

He was just saying we have the images. They are already being released in some parts of the world. There is a Hasbro Pulse fanstream occuring every Thursday in March (starting tomorrow). It stands to reason the official reveals for LU Wave 2 (and pre-orders) will be included in one of them.

I don't even think they will be preorders, I think they will go straight up to buy

I suspect it's going to be one of those times when they call it a preorder to not piss off retailers but they'll ship in a week anyway. This is probably how they kick off the streams tomorrow with orders going up at 1 PM.
I wonder if they'll talk about Omega Prime tomorrow, maybe reveal a third tier.

Looks like it just plugs into the back of his gun for storage, rather than onto his body (the gun is stored in jet mode in the spot where the key would have gone on the original Voyager class toy).#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:Emerje wrote:Oh hey, Starscream comes with a Cyber Key, wasn't expecting that!

Hopefully it's a little larger than Legacy Armada SS. Otherwise, it's going to look odd next to my Universe Dirge.
Emerje wrote:Oh hey, Starscream comes with a Cyber Key, wasn't expecting that!
Interesting if unexpected inclusion.
Doubt it will activate anything though. Probably just plug into a slot and call it a day.
This should also be much easier to get than the original CybSS in actual SS colors was.

Lockdown deserves his own mold but this will do for now. Interesting rotf face he's got there
Cannonballs claw looks a little chafo but the rest of him looks badass
Filchs face is a little too faithful to the source material but having some freaky raven/crow Pirate bot is way too cool to pass up
If ferak was just a lame repaint I would have passed. But the creepy face and jetfires wing sticks are enough effort in differentiation for me to bite. Especially so Thundertron isn't the only voyager pirate bot. Is the chest also remolded?
Speaking of Thundertron, let's see that leader already! So I know if I'll wait to get that or get the voyager
Posted by Overcracker on March 6th, 2024 @ 8:16pm CST
Lockdown, no surprise there. It was fairly clear that’s what Axel Grease was meant for.
Ohh, I could be convinced to pick up Fitch and Ferak though. Those are just great molds all around. And these uses are pretty interesting.

Cannonball looks pretty decent, and looks like he has a cyber key too!
Ferak looks neat.
I am excited for Filch, finally, giving an RiD2015 Decepticon who never got a toy a toy!!!! This is the kind of stuff we need!

Cannonball, I don't hate him. He seems to be based on the Crankcase mold, his chest seems to pop off, so I'll be curious to see if it was retooled underneath. What's I find really fascinating is that they chose to add the doors to his shoulder sculpts, that's a super cool detail that I think most people would have forgiven them for leaving off. Curious if he has interchangeable hands, there appears to be a 5mm post on the back of the claw hand. Definitely needs some ToyHax labels to get his full deco.
Filch is pretty great, they really went above and beyond with her. Not only did they give her new bot and raven heads, but they redid most of her lower legs and the way her wings work, too. The wings on her arms are attached by 5mm pegs and probably peg onto the underside of the parts on her back similar to Airazor, just removable. She only appeared in the cartoon in bot mode briefly and on some art, I doubt many people would have cared if she was just a head on the same body, but kudos to the design team for again going above and beyond.
Ferak is odd. They didn't really try all that hard to make him look like the Botcon figure, there's no black at all and they didn't use the paint ops where they could have. The new wings and wingtip guns are interesting, but that probably means he wont have the Universe mold's nosecone like I hoped he would. I'm guessing the head is supposed to be based in part on the original figure, but then I have to wonder why they didn't use that head on the toy style Selects figure.
With so many heavy retools I'm looking forward to seeing what Thundertron looks like. Maybe the theory that he'll be a heavily retooled Tigerhawk isn't too far off. I guess we'll see for sure Thursday.

Technically the Botcon Ferak had very little black on him. Just his abs and the landing gear covers.
So it's not that far off. They did modify the red paint apps, removing his chest paint app entirely.
He's also missing his Deception insignia on his forehead.
A retooled nosecone for jet mode, would have been nice.

Emerje
Agreed.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think at this point there is exactly 1 Legacy/SS toy that has not leaked for the next waves, and by leak, I mean half of them have been found at retail and legally bought, not even truly leaked.
At a bare minimum, they should have completed revealing the Mayhem line today, especially since now half the star seekers are revealed by walmart and will go up for preorder before next weeks stream, once again putting them behind
Posted by william-james88 on March 7th, 2024 @ 12:43pm CST
Filch based on the RID 15 character, using the Kingdom Airazor mold.
Cannonball based on the Cybertron character using the Legacy Skids mold.
Lockdown based on an amalgomation of previous versions using the Legacy Axelgrease mold.
Ferak based on the IDW character, using the Kingdom Cyclonus mold.
We will post the links to the Walmart preorders when we have them.
Posted by Overcracker on March 7th, 2024 @ 12:52pm CST
Lockdown, is looking pretty decent. Might get him.
Fitch is calling to me. But I don't know If I need this mold a 4th time.
Ferak... not feeling that cut off nosecone. but the extra wing guns do look nice.

Curiously, a Voyager class Armada Red Alert was in the listing leaks instead of a Deluxe class Cybertron Red Alert.o.supreme wrote:I know nothing about these characters, but based on what I've seen, I'm guessing a Cybertron Red Alert is coming as well? Also, if I happen to see Lockdown, Ill get it simply to have another Junkion-Type weaponizer.
Posted by Razorbeast88 on March 7th, 2024 @ 1:02pm CST
Loving cannonballs alt mode, looks sick
Lockdown and roadpig will complete junkasaurus for me so thats neat
I like that ferak has the new nosecone like some had hoped. And I like the option to give him the wing guns so he isn't just sporting Cyclonus same blaster

Shoot... I just realized Road Pig is a Decepticon . I like my combiners to be aligned if at all possible. Oh well. Hopefully hasbro makes another use out of the Crashbar mold as a heroic character. I guess now Ill have 2 legs and an Arm for a Decepticon Junkasaurus.

Ferak and Filtch are pretty nice too.
Posted by Emerje on March 7th, 2024 @ 4:26pm CST
Funny thing is we're getting a Voyager Armada Red Alert next year so unless they also do a Cybertron version we'll probably never see this particular retool again.
I like Ferak more and more, he looks really good holding the two wing guns instead of his main gun. Seems they did redo the nosecone after all. After going to the trouble of retooling the wings I wish they would have done something really different with them and sweep them back instead forward like Cyclonus. They even gave him new shoulders, it would have been very easy to change the wings further.

Understandable, that's how I felt with fossilizers when there was never a predacon version of wingfinger. And I never got a Maximal version of paleotrex either so I'm left with the original 3 and Masterdominus
Posted by Till-all-R1 on March 7th, 2024 @ 4:59pm CST
I also kind of like Cannonball, and I do need more Decepticons for my shelf so I may get that one.
The other don't interest me, though Flitch is neat looking.
