The Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom line is out now. It was fond in Hong Kong. You can check out the video below showing this first global sighting.
We also have a better look at three of the wave 2 figures: Ultra Magnus, Dinobot and Inferno. Inferno comes with the small hoses to attach to his feet and Dinobot has his legs in an orange to homage the original toy (photo below). The photos were found on the Facebook page Cybertron 21. Let us know what you think!

It bugs me when people treat it like it's something the TR toy added despite it having been part of both the original toy and the cartoon appearance, but that wasn't worth venting my spleen over in this case...
...You know, having heard that tidbit, and doing a comparison, I kinda think he could actually be a TR Galvatron retool. Because TR Galvy's jet mode? Turns out to be laid out similarly to Energon Megatron/Galvatron's.
Kingdom Ultra Magnus is almost definitely a pass for me. The G1 windshield and the cab projecting further forward aren't enough to sell me when I already have the SIEGE version. If it turns out when we see altmode pics that they somehow contrived to have him accommodate 4 Deluxe cars (which, looking at the back of his armor legs, seems pretty unlikely), that would change my mind...
But absent that, I'm going to stick to the SIEGE version and do my best to make a larger trailer (because the 3P "upgrade" bozos aren't putting forth that kind of effort anymore).

Given that that basically amounts to "Wings and an extra cannon" I'd still say there's room for the base figure to be on the larger side. If the base figure does turn out to be as small as ER Optimus, though, then he's a hard pass for sure.Jeddostotle7 wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I'm also fine with TR Galvatron.sol magnus wrote:And with armor, they're just about the same size.

My point is that Kingdom Galvy - who Rodimus Prime will have to be on part with height-wise - is going to be as big as TR Galvy or bigger, and trying to get a WFC Leader's Voyager-ish robot to match that height would be a stretch.
IIRC the leakers have been pretty consistently saying Galvatron will have armor pieces that make him more Energon Megatron/Galvatron-ish, and with that info it's safe to assume Kingdom Galvatron will be roughly ER Optimus height, if not a bit taller.

I think I'm the opposite, I'm actually gonna be annoyed if Galvy's any taller than ER Optimus, cuz he isn't supposed to have gotten any taller when he was reformatted. He's supposed to be the same height as Optimus.

What? Confirmation? Who said anything about confirmation? This is the problem with the leaks, now any time rumor pops up it's suddenly taken as if it actually means something. As far as I'm concerned nothing is confirmed until there's proof no matter how reliable the leaker.
Loudpedal is too easy of a repaint for Hasbro to pass on, I'm confident he'll happen somehow.

Not to mention adds a Decepticon (or Merc), and it's Diaclone-y.
I hope that Road Rage and Loudpedal aren't a two pack though. That'd suck cause I want to pick up two Road Rages, but don't want a second Loudpedal

That's why I want Kingdom Galvatron to be taller: I want him to match the height Optimus should be, which is a mark ER Optimus fell short of.
Posted by ZeldaTheSwordsman on December 1st, 2020 @ 1:48am CST
Yes, he is. But here's the wrinkle with that for me: SIEGE and Earthrise Optimus are both too small. Just like Classics Optimus was. It's especially blatant in vehicle mode (ER Optimus' cab is about the same size as the freaking G1 toy's), but fairly noticeable in robot mode too (particularly if you compare to the cartoon scale chart, which WFC was trying to abide by).Jeddostotle7 wrote:I think I'm the opposite, I'm actually gonna be annoyed if Galvy's any taller than ER Optimus, cuz he isn't supposed to have gotten any taller when he was reformatted.

2. I'm not super strict when it comes to vehicle mode sizes. But at least with regard to ordinary road vehicles, I feel like they should be in the same scale ballpark unless it severely hurts the robot mode size. Which is not the case for ER Optimus, because he's undersize in both modes.
Posted by ZeldaTheSwordsman on December 1st, 2020 @ 2:38am CST
1. I'd say that they're not nailing it with Optimus' height, except in the sense of the "nailed it" meme (same for Megatron. They're the bad apples in the bunch). He falls visibly, substantially short even if you're not checking the chart. It's bad enough in my eyes that I'm actually sticking with Combiner Wars Optimus (who happens to be chart-perfect with SIEGE Sideswipe) for the time being.Jeddostotle7 wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Yes, he is.

Personally I'm happy with these current Optimus as it means they shouldn't need to bother to do another G1 Optimus for a while, let them focus on other versions for a bit first, or try something new with him

Looking at that image again, it also looks like Inferno comes with a water spray blast effect next to his nozzle, that's cool that Hasbro's working blast effects in to come with larger figures now to make up for the lack of Battlemasters. Hopefully the potential Artfire comes with that too.
...yeah, confirmed/confirmation was probably a bad word for that in retrospect, but I think it still got the point of my question across? I just haven't seen any actual rumors of Loudpedal but I have for Road Rage, so I was curious what you'd seen/heard that's different since you were talking as if he has been rumored already and I'm excited by the prospect of both.Emerje wrote:Nemesis Primal wrote:Wait, who confirmed Loudpedal and when?

Ultra Magnus has lost his G1 style belt/waist. They really don't like being toon/movie accurate at the mo -maybe so that they can do a SS86 version that's still not the full shilling. No height increase by the looks of things too but still a chance of repaints that I'd be interested in.

Eh, I probably shouldn't have said rumored either since what I really meant was strong speculation, though that tends to be the basis for rumor to begin with. Either way, it would be strange if such an obvious straight repaint wasn't attempted. Road Rage will be a more extensive (almost as extensive as turning Blackarachnia into Tarantulas) retool of Tracks, but Loud Pedal would just require a head swap that I'm sure will already be part of the mold.
BTW, now that I'm home from work and not looking at tiny photos on my phone I'm not at all convinced just from the pics that Dinobot's legs are based on the toy. I'm seeing cartoon accuracy with gold shins and orange accents on the sides.
The shins are the same color as the gold stripe on the thighs (which isn't accurate) and doesn't appear to be a trick of the light since it's identical placement on both legs even though one is slightly turned in. The "orange" looks to be the same plastic as the hip joints and probably a little more copper colored.

Dinobot looks really, really good. His point finger/big raptor claw even looks like it's individually articulated, which is pretty awesome. I just hope his tail can split into his double-bladed weapon, since that seems to be his only accessory. Looking forward to seeing the raptor mode.

Airazor looks really good in both modes, I can't wait to get one! Granted the perching stance in bird mode looks a bit awkward, but I realise that bird Transformers are difficult to get right, and it doesn't ruin the rest of the figure by any means. Dinobot's robot mode is fantastic, but I'm really not keen on the raptor mode. I'd probably like Ultra Magnus a lot more if there was more retooling to make it distinct from the Seige version, like retooling the trailer so it can actually fit a couple of cars in there, but as it is I'll likely just keep my Seige Magnus and skip the new one.

I love Dinobot and Airrazor, but does anyone else kinda feel like their eyes in beast mode look kinda... Soulless? Like, overall I think they look good (Dinobot's broken wrists not withstanding), but the eyes just feel off

Earlier today, IGN revealed 3 new upcoming War for Cybertron Kingdom toys. This time around, they revealed Deluxe Class Airazor and Voyager Class Dinobot as well as Leader Class Ultra Magnus. Airazor and Dinobot, both previously from Beast Wars, are new tools. Ultra Magnus is an "Earth-mode" retool of his previous SIEGE toy. These products will be available for pre-order at most major retailers starting on Thursday December 3rd, 2020 at 1:00pm EST. Stay tuned Thursday for pre-order links. In the meantime, check out the images below that we mirrored below from IGN.
WFC-K14 Deluxe Airazor
The WFC-K14 Deluxe Airazor stands at 5.5 inches, and converts into a Beast Wars-inspired falcon in 22 steps. Airazor comes with 2 photon blaster accessories that connect to the figure's wrists, and its falcon mode features articulation for the wing, beak, and tail feathers. The approximate retail price for the figure is $19.99.
WFC-K18 Voyager Dinobot

Airrazor looks fantastic, and possibly the best birdformer since Energon Divebomb. Whether she dethrones him from his feathery throne remains to be seen, but she looks excellent regardless.
Dinobot also looks great; not perfect (the raptor mode's mammaries are somewhat amusing) but considering the pricepoint he's quite something. I'd argue in some ways he's more impressive than the MP in managing to look good in both modes with far less panel-massaging pain and almost no faux-parts.
Ultra Magnus though, I think I like the Siege version better. The separate truck mode is massively disappointing and very bland without the big blue "ramming prow" and in general he just doesn't look great without the Cybertronian flair.

Airazor looks pretty great, definitely want to get her
Dinobot looks awesome. The chest situation in raptor mode is uh......distracting, but not a deal breaker.

Hmm. It's gonna be tough to choose between Siege and Kingdom Magnus. I'm buying figures mainly to display on robot mode, so the Kingdom version looks better without the greeble, and I also like the truck mode better. But that smaller robot looks atrocious. I'm guessing the trailer/armor is the same, only the small robot/cab got reworked.

The trailer has been modified, but only slightly. It's not that obvious unless you have Siege Magnus next to him.

Magnus looks mistransformed in nearly all his modes in the pics, not sure what the protrudey things are ment to be on the cab either.
Airrazor not sure of the four rectangle tabs/gaps on the back of bird mode unless a Magnaboss is in the works, other than that slightly spoiling the looks pretty sure I'll be picking her up.
Dinobot and his two Kate Winslets...I mean floatation devices is a thing, the way his dino arms are posed are pretty bad, might need some adjusting. Like SS86 Grimlock hes missing dental work lol they both must have been smacked in the gob at some point. For all its flaws I might have to pick him up but some of the photos are eye watering bad from belly chuckles.
*the mistransformation on dinobot in one of the photos having hollow legs on the outer -sheesh who transforms and takes these photos

Guess that was just a trick of the light, since it's a solid plastic colour afterall.
By the way that small white magnus looks terrible. While I get that the alt mode wasn't G1 accurate the first time, the blue front of the vehicle made the white robot look better since that part looked like added kibble rather than the small robot having a backside with lots of reach. There's a lot less retooling than I imagined, it's really just the front half of the cab (two pieces).
Also, holy mistransfrmation Batman!
LOVE airrazor!!!!!! And Dinobot too.

They are to insert into the holes in the back of his super mode chest.

I really like Dinobot however I'm not a fan of the glaring gold hips / upper legs sticking out in front of the beast mode chest. As much as I want an accurate robot mode Dinobot, I think I would have been OK if his upper legs were the same color as his beast mode skin so that when in beast form it wouldn't look so jarring. I'd want to see a mockup to be sure, just feel like in this case the robot mode looks great, just think the colors could have been modified a little bit. That or something to cover up that part of the legs in beast mode would make it look so much better.
Still a great figure though. I think they pulled this off better than the $250+ Masterpiece figure did (which I still think was way too big).

I think Dinobot looks pretty good, better then the original boy, except for the dino hands. For lack of a better phrase, they look limp-wristed. IT would have been better if they hand them looking mor elike they were positioned for an attack or anything else.That 90 degree angle looks aweful

generally speaking yes, but he used his dino hands quite a bit too. Usually when he was walking or running in beast mode his hands were like that. But I will admit, these pics do make his dino hands seem a bit off somehow. of course he's also clearly mistransformed in one pic, so that could be making it seem off too.

On the back of Dinobot's box, in the dino mode pic, his . . . dinoboobs are grey, not gold. It looks like the same color in robot mode if it transforms the way I'm thinking.
What are the chances that the action poses have the colors wrong and the box art is right?

Dinobot in particular looks dope, and I’ll definitely pick up Airazor. I just bought a Siege Ultra Magnus for 50% off recently though, so that will suffice. This figure doesn’t seem different enough to justify a repurchase.

Yeah good point, he waved those things around a lot when he was snarling at the other maximals lol
From the last pic it seems like the dino hands have a similar joint to vertebreak's feet, though it looks like they fold down to be put away or something. From what I can see it just seems like the "fingers" look way too long and it looks off
