These look amazing! I hope the Siege posters will be available for purchase at some point. This is shaping up to be the Transformers toyline I've been waiting for!

[mordhelm]

So, what, Megatron killed Omega Supreme and turned him into a throne footstool?

Looks like it could just be an Omega Guardian. So Omega Supreme still alive and comes back for retalion.

NOTE: The Megatron poster DOES have hidden writing.

Look just above the fusion cannon:

I'm assuming the rest that isn't standing out completes it to say VICTORY

Given that he almost entirely dismembered Omega Supreme in that image, i'd say it's #accurate.

eh, not really feeling the overly traditional G1 designs here (just not my thing at all these days) but hey if that results in a decent voyager sized G1 Shockwave for once then that'll be nice i guess.
Also is it possible to make a non-partsforming Omega Supreme? The guy was never much of a Transformer i guess. I enjoyed the Omegatron toy while I had it but the main reason for an Omega Supreme toy to turn into a rocketbase with tracks is for the tank to go round on the track all by itself thanks to electronics. Dunno if a Siege version will go that far but I'd feel like the lack of electronics in an Omega Supreme toy would greatly reduce it's appeal.

You know I want the exact opposite from any new Omega Supreme. I'm hoping for a big ass base bot that's partsformery AF

I want all kinds of bits and pieces and vehicles and little places for small TFs to hide. Full blown playset stuff.

[o.supreme]

The art is cool, but of course as a HUGE fan of Omega Supreme, I'm not overly fond of what they depict. If this was all just subversion of expectation just to re release Metroplex, or a "Metro-Titan" recolor, I'm going to be disappointed.

Not sure what the strategy would be... Hey look, here's this years brand new, big ass TITAN figure- Omega Supreme, who dies btw...

Yeah I don't really care for characters getting stuck in playset form for other toys though. Is why I was never fond of Fort Max or Metroplex. At least Scorponok had a whole other alt-mode that wasn't a base at all (and plus i prefered his Marvel comics portrayal where he was regular sized anyways). Omega I guess can get away with it cos he's never had much of a personality so not really losing out on much if he's in base mode i suppose.

Like how they kept killing off recent toys in those awful machinama (not sure how to spell that) cartoons such as Predaking?

more or less yeah. At least with the first 2 series, they came so late, the toys were already well established. But yeah, having Predaking die like a chump was pretty awful.

Of course, I guess one could interpret these as Decepticon propaganda posters of what they would *like* to accomplish, more than what actually happens.

[Mr.MicroMaster]

It Looks like the Decepticons got a head of the game.

[Coptur]

Come on peeps they are Omega Sentinels not Omega Supreme.

We know that in some continuities the Omega Sentinels are first line of defense it so only makes sense there would a few defeated ones.

[o.supreme]

Why would the Decepticons revel in the defeat of one Omega Sentinel though? I mean, you dont see the mob partying over the loss of one Officer, unless it was the Police Chief or District Attorney

Does the average fan walking around NYCC seeing that pic know that?

[Coptur]

the sheer size, strength and power of OStl is enough to boost your beaten up troops morale.

Showing the heads of your enemy to your enemy is a huge sign dominance.

Edward I with William Wallace, Charles II with Oliver Cromwell, Vlad the Impaler with the Moors & Megatron with Orious of Iacon
Even IS does it today.

[Skritz]

There isn't a lot of hype in those pics, at least for me, because at this point this is basically 100% what we expected: the core/major Decepticons (minus Skywarp, for now) presumably all at the Voyager and Leader class. That said, getting a Voyager Soundwave with his minions definitely interest me quite a bit since I passed up on the Titans Return version. Omega Supreme is also unsurprising, we all basically called it months ago but I'll reserve judgment if he's any good until we see it.

I'm still a little too jaded on early G1, not to mention the fact I just got a decent (albeit unusual) CHUG Megatron to feel super excited, even if odds are the Siege version of Optimus and Megatron seem like they will be the definitive version of the coming years. I'm just a little sore after having had to hunt down Titans Return' triple-changing Optimus and Megatron and liking them quite a bit. What am I going to do, sell them?

Soundwave (plus minions) and Shockwave are on my to-get-immediately list.

[o.supreme]

I guess I always just interpreted the Guardian Robots/ Sentinels differently. Not unlike Sentinels in an X-Men comic. Sure they are Big & Strong, but with some effort a strong Decepticon like Megatron, Shockwave, or maybe even Starscream (if he was stealthy enough) could take one down. But Omega Supreme is on a whole other level, Being the only sentient one with a spark, and probably 100X stronger than any average Guardian/Sentinel.

I don't recall in any fiction the Decepticons fearing the Sentinels in general like they actually feared Omega Supreme.

[mordhelm]

Shockwave is looking really good. Heck they all are.

Thanks to an early posting from online resource IGN, we have the full reveals from the War for Cybertron: Siege line currently happening at New York Comic Con 2018, as Hasbro Transformers are showing off the moment we've all been waiting for: the Decepticon faction is here, and ready to steamroll their way to victory.

Check out in the official render images below the classic line-up of Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Refraktor (Reflector, with some changes to its alt mode to become what looks to be Shockwave's gun), and Starscream, the leader of the Seekers in his Tetrajet mode. Take a look below, and join the discussion!

This morning, during Hasbro's Transformers panel, a bunch of brand-new baddies were revealed from the War For Cybertron: Siege line: Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Refraktor, and Starscream (yes, actually Starscream, not Blitzwing.)

The designs all take cues from the classic Generation 1 aesthetic, but with some modern retooling. For instance, Megatron has an all new Cybertronian tank vehicle mode.

This lineup will be hitting stores early 2019, as well as HasbroToyShop.com.

I'm an average fan, and I'd assume and I'm still assuming it's Omega Supreme. I also don't see Hasbro being that deep.

[no-one]

So is Soundwave a space barge now? I can tug it!

Thar Reflector, hot diggity damn!

Whelp, that Shockwave just nullified any need for the large Cyberverse one.

[starrhero]

REFLECTOR!? IS THAT A REFLECTOR I SEE?! WAS THAT EVEN CONSIDERED?! Did we even stop to consider reflector? I don't think we did.
