So I was reminded of this by Itscramtastic today: https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/teletraan1 : and decided to go play and enter in the codes form the deluxe boxes I still amazingly have. That got me wondering about the other ones I don't have. Hit the old google search to cheat. Then I noticed there are 51 releases scheduled for 2019, I'm sure this is old news but :poop:

I’m totally spit balling. But in IDW didn’t Chromia and Ironhide have a thing?

I think so, and they are in the same wave.

[Flashwave]

Even though ypu cant ise 5 limbs, I kinda wish even MORE now that Chromia had been Combiner Capable as a spare.

I skipped the Fems though, cant decide if t
News of a complete (Symmetrical!) Team makes me want to circle back or not

[SpikeyTigertron]

Kind of wish there was a yellow and a blue one. We’d have a rainbow Combiner

Well, Lancer is orange and purple...so, you almost get your wish.

Well this is interesting and cool news. I wonder if they will re-release Elita in the Siege line as she getting kinda hard to find at a decent price now?

Edit: found her at two places for a decent price, still curious if we'll see a re-release with Hasbro making a deal out of this.

Elita One got pretty good distribution eventually. She was not too difficult to find. On the other hand, Moonracer was still pretty scarce, due to being short packed in her only wave of distribution, and THAT wave being seemingly short packed itself. Did everyone find Firestorm who wanted her? I never saw her on the pegs out in the wild, but got her from Amazon instead.

I’m totally spit balling. But in IDW didn’t Chromia and Ironhide have a thing? I know her and Windblade were like on&Johnson for a while. So I think they wanted her in Siege, and as we found out they had plenty of ammo for the other limbs.

Ironhide and Chromia had a thing back in G1 too, just like Inferno and Firestar. Check the last few minutes of the season 2 episode "The Search for Alpha Trion."

Guess I better jump now while I can.

I thought Moonracer was repacked in a later wave? I remember seeing her, she vanished then I picked her up much later. Hell I saw one at Target on clearance just last week. I've seen plenty of Firestorm at both Target and Walmart.


EDIT: Siege figures back on HTS, deluxes are still 9.99 but out of stock.

Nice to see the Elita combiner has a better name!

Shockwave still looks awesome. About the people saying he isn't worth 50$, hear me out. Siege Shockwave's alt mode would look pretty boring to younger fans, upside down gun and all. The extra bits make for a much more pleasing spaceship. In robot mode, the extra pieces also make the robot mode more interesting, and arguably cooler. I don't want to start a heated debate, but I would love to hear your opinions on the matter. IMO, Shockwave is worth it.

He's between a deluxe & voyager. Way too small for leader prices. I'm hoping Black Mamba or Wei Jiang will make an oversized version.

Oh noes! Look at this guy! Way too small for Leader prices:


OH WAIT:

[Grahf_]

Awesome!

Now we need a Decepticon version lol.

Slipstream or Lyzack from Elita 1. They'd used Starscream's Null Rays instead of the weapons that came with Elita 1 though.

Nightracer, Shadow Striker, Nightbird and Dark Nitro Convoy all from the Moonracer base mold. I tried to keep it "G1" themed but the Moonracer mold would look so good as Dark Nitro Convoy. Others could be Freezon and Flamewar instead of Dark Nitro Convoy. Moonracer would look just as good as Flamewar even though she's normally a motorcycle. I noticed that most of the motor vehicle based female Decepticons are colored predominately black. It's be like Megatronia all over again. Black limbs and a differently colored torso.

The Seige Air Strike Patrol could be used for Blackout and Spaceshot so the combiner can have a sword...knife.

I really miss the original Universe line and all it's random redecos. The CW style figures lend themselves so well to that. I just want a million combiners, even if they use the same 20 something base molds over and over.

Why does this Dark of the Moon Leadfoot look so weird?

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

PFFFFFT.
Because of the super mode and because of electronics powered by AA batteries.

Officially, no. I'm just referring to this:



There are 51 spots for figures (technically there isn't spots for anything below deluxe). I didn't see the TFW post until after I went to the official web page and got curious. There is some pretty good speculation over there.

Animated Ratchet would've worked too, he also has a bulging gut. Though not quite as much.

That sounds nice but I'd prefer they give us limbs to finish off KingScream and Inferno's Combiner.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Well, this settles it. Hope I can still find PotP Elita-1...

btw We already have a Decepticon version: UW Megatronia

[ThatOneGuy]

Symmetrical combiners for the win!

[Rodimus Prime]

We already have a Decepticon version: UW Megatronia

I thought she was Victorion's counterpart...?

In molds, yes, but in concept she could be Othria's rival of some sort, with Megaempress and the 4 Guards being called "Woman Destron" or "Female Decepticons" to counter the "Female Autobots", plus in the bios each has an associate:

Megaempress: Megatron
Lunaclub: Starscream (VERY unwilling so)
Moonheart: Soundwave
Flowspade: Shockwave
Trickdiamond: Swindle

[Ultra Markus]

I don't understand why the had to make chroma not a combiner even though they used that very same mold as moonracer and novastar but go ahead and make green light and Lancer as a combiner using that same mold

You are not alone. Until just recently I was quite disappointed. But now knowing at least the Female Autobot team will have a proper combiner , it isn't quite as bothersome. I guess Hasbro figured if they were going to release all 6 female Auotobots, one was going to have to be made a smaller legends figure, or left out entirely.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

I prefer the name "Elita-5".

So, I've just been playing around over at https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/teletraan1 off and on all day. Here have some Greenlight info. I know it was newsed, but I'm just getting around to it.

Flashlight!

Been looking at the emblems and it appears she is also a sergeant in the infantry. This is the toyline that just keeps on giving. Named weapons, units, ranks, fun stuff to unlock.

EDIT: well maybe not, appears to be some inconsistencies here.

Which matches Skytread's online, but doesn't match the one on his box or the style of the other Decepticons.

Speaking of the 'Cons, their emblems are a little more complicated than the Autobots.

Hmmm.... all very intriguing

These figures really should have came with collectors cards.

[Ultra Markus]

maybe they could also finish starscreams combiner with a version of slipstream and novastorm repainted/remolded from darkwing and dreadwind

[Hellscream9999]

S oI got megs and prime today from hts; megs is great, a big solid voyager and his neck platform is tight, if not a little baffling that they couldn't add anything to keep it stable in bot mode
And prime would be a runaway hit if his roof wasn't warped; so, all in all, not quite the over-hyped masterpiece he could've been, but I respect the design
I'll probably be swapping him out as soon as I find the voyagers at retail

Did you mean Sunstorm?

Shockwave is part of the "Space Force," eh?
