I will get straight to it, the big reveals at the 2019 Tokyo Toy Show are not only the figures but also their revealed prices. There was a lot of excitement when Snaptrap was revealed but now we know that each component of Piranacon / King Poseidon will be released individually at almost double what combiner components have cost at mass retail. The price will be 3800 yen (35 USD) for the limbs and 6500 yen (60 USD) for the torso. These will be exclusives and they will be sold individually. Getting them in the US will not be a problem since they will be imported as usual, but them being exclusives means there will be no Amazon Japan discounts. A 5 member combiner team at these prices would make this set already $200 but if there is indeed an extra member, then expect to pay more of course.
The new images also show us the articulated combiner hands as well as the feet. We also have a good idea of what molds are being used. Here is our best guess based on the silhouette shot and what is on the show floor:
Snaptrap/Turtler: Hun-Gurrr
Skalor/Gulf: Blot
Nautilator/Lobclaw: Either Shuttle Blast Off or Dreadwind
Overbite: Rippersnapper
Seawing/Kraken: Cutthroat
We can see a multitude of other goodies on the show floor including:
MP+ Smokescreen
WFC Smokescreen
Star Convoy
The DA-37 Strike Buffalo Moon version
All the upcoming Masterpiece figures including Bumblebee 2.0, Optimus Prime 3.0 and Hound with a floating head.
All the upcoming Siege figures like Impactor, Mirage and Omega Supreme.
All the upcoming Studio Series figures like Long Haul, Hightower, Helicopter Drift and Car Dropkick.
MPM 08 Megatron

Omega with tetrajet in hand, soooo cool I love that pose.
Impactor...I always try to be positive but that looks like something you’d see at Best Buy or a clearance store. I don’t think that lighting helps it makes the plastic look so thin.

As a MP enthusiast I’m curious what you guys would say the counter or contrast is to that is, like what’s your fave old school MP vs this newer anime style? Like man I wish they’d gone more with a style like ...?

The counter would be the siege line. Compare MP Shockwave to Siege Shockwave for instance. One has a lot more detail and sculpting than the other. Or, similarly, we can compare between Ultra Magnus toys where you see the same thing.

Clear blue plastic on Mirage is something I didn't even know I wanted, but now that I'm seeing it, it's so perfect! I hope that the spoiler is also translucent blue plastic. It's hard to tell one way or the other. I can appreciate that the head and pelvis are opaque plastic, though, for added strength, especially where there are critical joints (neck, hips, etc.). This new SIEGE version of Mirage just blows away the old Classics figure by a stellar mile!
Star Convoy looks amazing! What a great reuse for that mold, I must say! The gold chrome chest crest really gives it a premium look.
Also, take a close look at SIEGE Smokescreen. They've changed the stylized "38" symbol on his door wing. What does it say now?

I'm not too keen on these overpriced Seacon's. As a result I'll just be skipping about $100 worth of other pending figures I was on the fence about buying then.

The seacons are looking really promising and it looks like our fears of only Snaptrap/Turtler showing up were wrong. That said I'm not really happy about a rare, Japanese set being (and especially not a combiner team!) being something I need to be able to each piece individually.
I'd honestly rather pay more for a complete set, you know? Rather than risk missing out on one and having to hunt it down on the aftermarket.

Lots of cool stuff that though we’ve seen before, these pics are add to the want factor.
Mirage - The translucent plastic gives him a more cybertronian feel... as perhaps my main criticism of the siege line is that the alt modes tend to be a bit too much like their earth counterparts.
Star convoy - will be a pass because I already have a version of that mould but it’s a great re-use. The original potp version felt a bit extra cos I was happy with TR prime and it somehow felt out of place. Got the nemesis version and that’s a great toy...
Impactor, don’t have any connection to him but I might get him eventually.
Seacons - was on the fence but I think at that price point I might skip for sure.
Omega supreme... can’t wait to have an auto boy city former that Seems to be actually a playable toy (metroplex and fortress were floppy, too tall and had weak alt modes, trypticn being better for sure)
The new Micromasters - loved the original versions and though acceptable, I feel the siege versions might not be as good but I’ll get them where poss

Star Convoy is looking really good in person there. The gold chest and head sculpt are so nice, i can sort of forgive the windows.
Really excited for King Poseidon.
Siege is looking good, but Impactor is still looking kind of lame and like he doesn't belong in this line.

I like the figure pretty much. The only thing that might make him look a bit out of place for SIEGE are the hollow legs. And I think scalewise he should have been a Voyager class. But otherwise he looks awesome and I absolutely want him.

Every time I see pics of Omega I get that I can't wait feeling
I think that green color on hound just doesn't seem right. Maybe it's the lighting.
Seacons - well I like transformers with swords and probably will make my final decision when they get some color
Star Convoy looks like a buy
Maybe he needs a place to store his nuts

Obviously it isn't technically confirmation that the Seacon limbs will have Targetmaster modes, but I'm just going to point out that there is a five millimeter peg on the back of Scalor's gun, which I can't think of another purpose for. Here's hoping I'm right, thereby meaning we will get the whole team.

I guess it's all a matter of taste
To me it's the other way round. Mirage doesn't look that good: weird absolutely hollow legs (way worse than Impactor's), fake chest, blocky rear spoiler and a not Cybertronian enough alt mode. His alt mode looks straight from earth. Might fit into the Unicron trilogy. I guess that's why they decided now to add some translucent parts.

I can't see why they would leave out Tentakill. If they are only going to release 5 members then they will either leave out Nautilator (mold wouldn't be used for a God Neptune redeco) or Overbite(traditionally forms the gun) but I think we will probably get the whole team.

I can't see why they would leave out Tentakill. If they are only going to release 5 members then they will either leave out Nautilator (mold wouldn't be used for a God Neptune redeco) or Overbite(traditionally forms the gun) but I think we will probably get the whole team.

It reminds me of his highly underrated Beast Machines iteration:
It is weird how some of the SIEGE line are looking less Cybertronian as the line goes on.
I've already given my thoughts on the Seacons in the MP-19+ thread. Can't wait! I've always had a soft spot for the Gestalts and it is way past time Takara stopped remaking the same half a dozen and remembered that others exist.

I'm leaning to the thought we'll get the whole team.

Sweet callback!
I think they’ll make the whole team.
It’s not a kickstarter, it’s Takara - go big or go home.

I think all the beast machine vehicons are underrated, especially the drones.

Indeed. It's a pity that I don't think either the Beast Wars Fuzors nor the BM Vehicons sub-lines will ever get any future recognition.

I could see a new Silverbolt figure being made as he was in both shows, a cool character and at least one of his toys pretty flawed to say the least
A new BM Scavenger would be awesome to me, too.

For a moment, I was confused which Silverbolt you were referring to...

Wow
I do wonder sometimes how some of these Transformers even make it past prototype, let alone QA 
Also, shade thrown at Optimus Minor! Although the link is dead, he remains a cult favourite among the BW line, it seems

I dont know why, he has the same lazy transformation as that shitty silverbolt. I remember getting him as a kid (for free) and being dissapointed in him as a beast wars figure.

I'd like all of those, please. 
Damn, every day I regret the third-party combiners I bought more and more.

No-bot-ey should transform like that. Even if they transform into chest armor or whatever just please Primus no crotches or butts in faces.
That one stings too because I loved the BW Silverbolt. BM Silverbolt just looks like a, well, a neon Bowel Movement.

Silverbolt deserved better then that in Beast Machines (though I love the jetstorm toys)
Also, I love Optimus Minor, that is all.

killin’ me.
Also, I think Optimus Minor has one of the most fun transformations in that whole line. So much articulation and nobody can have a name like that and not be interesting and compelling like oooo what’s the story there is he BW Hot Rod tell me tell me tell me...
