New Galleries: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Ultra Magnus, Unicron Megatron, Bludgeon

I remember when retools were unheard of in Cyberverse. None of the Movie ones had any of that (save adding ports for weapons). UM and Bludgeon look great!
... though I kinda wish Bludgeon was based on BM Scavenger instead. He looks closer to the Vehicon as it is.

Very nice figures

I saw Bludgeon in a Target in Canada. But I'm pretty sure he was approaching 12 bucks. He was at least over 10 bucks. Prices seemed higher in Canada for a long time, but it seems like America is catching up in many ways. On the other hand everything sounds at least a bit more expensive here, without fault. At any rate Bludgeon despite being cool was too expensive

The Magnus looks really good.
That doesn't surprise me as I really like that mold for Optimus as well.

The Bludgeon would be OK if they had done a remold of the gun as well.
With that big arm, the mold still screams "Shockwave" to me. A more traditional arm with a fold away barrel would have been better IMO.

The Megatron is a weak mold, at least for alt mode, and those dorky colors don't help. Not a fan.

I've been avoiding the Prime/BH line like the plague since I basically can count on one hand the figures that have impressed me enough to actually buy them. I'm actually impressed with Magnus and Bludgeon. Been meaning to get the Cyberverse Shockwave so now I'll have to snag him and Bludgeon both. Magnus is actually looking pretty decent so I'm willing to splurge the little bit for him.
As for Megatron... well, you can take one look at that color and conclude for yourself just what I think THAT version resembles.
Two out of three. Not too bad Hasbro. In fact, pretty darn good considering how much I generally dislike the Prime BH line.

Alright, looks good Hasbro.

Now, where's Voyager Bludgeon and Unicron Megs?

Not coming. They never promised us those.

Seibertron.com is pleased to present our latest Transformers Prime gallery, Cybertron Con 2013 Beast Hunters Commander Class Predaking. This figure comes from the Cybertron Con 2013 Exclusive Shockwave's Lab, #6 the Trilling 30 series. The set is basically the same and the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Shockwave's Lab set with the exception of this little guy. The SDCC 2013 version is mainly clear plastic with a little blue here and there, whereas the Cybertron Con version is all orange, mainly translucent. Check out the full gallery by clicking any of the images or links below:

Convention & Club Exclusives Predaking (Shockwave's Lab)

Plasma Predaking is sexy.

A new day, a new gallery! Today's subject? G25 Go Prime from Takara Tomy's Transformers Go! line. Go Prime is a partially translucent redeco of the Thundertron mold from Prime: Robots In Disguise. (One of the last molds of the original Prime main line prior to switching over to Beast Hunters.)

It's not the first time this mold has been reused, either. The first time was another Takara Tomy exclusive, Leo Prime, from the Arms Micron line. (Takara Tomy's main line for Prime, featuring slight remolds based on PRID.)

His Micron partner is a reuse, too. Micron Go is a shark based Micron which originally debuted with Arms Micron Dreadwing. A Micron by the name of Jigu. (You can see both galleries for Dreadwing and Jigu here and here.)

And now, our featured gallery:

The sensei master of the six Swordbots has arrived.

Could he double as a "black repaint" of Leo Prime? Furthermore, does he have sticker or is it all paint?

Paint.

guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyys... you mistransformed him... the sides of the lion face move down. it was like that in the box. now im a mad and angry nerd on the internet, so my opinion is obviously important.

Whoa, good eye. I didn't notice that.

Whereas Thundertron and Leo Prime are fine.

Just give me a non-old-fart new head sculpt on this guy and I would have bought him. Is that too much to ask? No ageism comments please, it's not about that.

Ninja face, cool ninja weapons, no strange arms micron weapon, and it would have been sold!

But he's not solely a ninja master. He's a Samurai master as well.

The gallery train keeps on chuggin' along! Today's newest galleries focus on Cyberverse figures, the Commander Class, specifically. Both figures in this spotlight are redecos of existing figures, and in the case of Huffer, he's also a remold.

Speaking of which, first up is Huffer. He's based on the Beast Hunters Cyberverse Commander Class figure of Trailcutter, and both redecoed remolds feature a new head, remolded shoulders (to include cannons), plus various blades on their bodies to differentiate from the original mold, PRID Commander Class Ironhide. Decoed up in G1 Huffer orange and blue, he's an homage to the original figure but has become quite the battle ready tough guy, which is where he differs from the G1 original, greatly.

And last, but not least, we end this spotlight on our galleries with Beast Blade Optimus Prime. This figure is a redeco of the original Beast Hunters Commander Class Optimus Prime who is also the basis for the newly released Voyager Class "simplified" Optimus. (Which we reported on here, and have a gallery of, here.)

This Optimus is redecoed in the same color scheme as the Weaponizers repaint Beast Tracker Optimus (which can be seen here.) and comes with the battlewing shield.

To see the full galleries of both figures, click on their respective images, below:

Hunter Wheeljack (a redeco/remold of PRID Wheeljack, which you can see here)

Hunter Soundwave (who is not only a redeco/remold of PRID Soundwave, but he's also partnered with Ravage, instead of Laserbeak. You can see the original duo here)

And now, onto the picture links:

Who else suspects that if the US releases looked like this, they wouldn't be clearancing them for $5 each.

They look too similar to the originals then, so they may actually be worse off with less knowledgeable customers.

And I'm slowly falling in love with the Beast retoolings, thanks to Go! Ratchet (redubbed Flatline) and BH Dreadwing. I'm looking at Arcee and Starscream now...

Cobraaaaaaa!
I was going to say Soundwave looks good now that he doesn't look like a macaw, but now I'm disappointed they didn't go full Cobra Commander on him. The screenface would make a perfect metal faceplate.

Are those really GO show, or only GO packages?

BERSEKAEL wrote:Are those really GO show, or only GO packages?

Just packaging. The only figures featured in the DVD anime shorts are the Predacons, the Samurai and Shinobi Teams, and Optimus Exprime.

Just need a green and yellow repaint and we can have Voltron: Defender of the Universe.

Transformers Go! was a short Japanese animated series that took the place of Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters in Japan and was available on DVD's that came with TV Magazine and TV Kun. The Autobots featured the Swordbot Samurai team and the subject of this gallery-the Swordbot Shinobi team which consists of Gekisoumaru, Hishoumaru and Sensuimaru. This trio of brand new molds combine in three different ways with each bot forming the top of the combined mode.

Also featured is galleries of the promotional Arms Microns that came from certain Japanese retailers with a purchase of 3,000 yen of Transformers Go! product. These Arms Microns are Shou, Sen and Geki. As always click the following pictures to see the full gallery.

Good timing, just got the Kabaiya Samurai team candy toys in the mail.

The Ninja team consists of two of the best figures original to Go!: Gekisoumaru and Hishoumaru; and the absolute worst of the line: Sensuimaru. Ganoh is still my favorite.

I think this is the first time I've really noticed how each Kabuto of the Shinobi Team attaches to each of them in altmode.

Ha, what funny timing! I got the Phoenix and the Shark last week. I enjoy them, but glad I got them on a steep discount. Will probably grab the Lion at some point too.

Any chance of these ever being imported into the US for sale at retail? I dig them!

jogunwarrior wrote:Any chance of these ever being imported into the US for sale at retail? I dig them!

I'd say no, given their unorthodox price points and (really) Japanese styling.

Steep discount, you say? Got a link to where you got yours?

They've been on Amazon (all of the Go! figures) for dirt cheap for imports.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?tag=seibertron07-20& ... SENSUIMARU

You can get them for less than US retail ($19 shipped for one of them, $22 shipped for the other, I just got an extra Kenzan for $30 shipped the other day from Amazon to fix the problem with mine having a broken pony tail from the factory ... urgh).

I also just picked up Sensuimaru and Budora.

Continuing in our gallery offerings here at Seibertron.com, we have a blast from the not so distant past with three Transformers: Prime, Beast Hunters and Go! figures. By clicking on any of the images below you will access the full gallery for the larger incarnations of two faction leaders, Autobots and Predacons, with the latter in both Hasbro and Takara garbs!

Guren Dragotron and Beast Fire Predaking both share the same mold, and come with Infernum Blades, accessories, as well as an impressive wingspan and electronics, but different decos, with red, black and yellow (and the name) replacing the orange, black and silver of the Predacons Rising figure in the Go! version. Optimus Prime, on the other hand, shows off an impressive cleaver sword, shield and rotating Firebreath Cyclocannons and electronics.

I recently got done watching all of Go! not to long ago, and Dragotron's Guren form was pretty cool.





Interestingly enough, before Dragotron assumes this form, the episodes that came immediately before his awakening used the Beast Fire Predaking deco:

Red Predaking is Best Predaking.

Our Transformers Go! galleries continue, as we proudly present Go! Kenzan Kuromusha Version and Gekisoumaru Kurojishi Version!

Gekisoumaru and Kenzan are the latest to step in front of the camera, but these two are the black repaint versions.

Clarification of the purpose of these remolds courtesy of fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade:

Sabrblade wrote:These represent toy-only powered-up forms of the two, after having been enhanced by the powers of the Black Legendisc.

Kenzan was a TRU Japan exclusive repaint of Kenzan, and you can see the original here and Gekisoumaru is a Nemesis repaint of the original mold, which you can also see here.

These aren't Nemesis versions. They're still good guys. These represent toy-only powered-up forms of the two, after having been enhanced by the powers of the Black Legendisc.

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

Seibertron.com is proud to present another set of galleries as part of our gigantic database, and today's offering sees one the most sought-after molds of the Transformers: Prime series, only available under the Japanese Arms Micron monicker: Decepticon muscle and hammer - Breakdown. But wait, not only do we bring you the basic iteration of the mold in War Breakdown, also included are the retooled, eerily sinister Silas Breakdown, complete with redeco and added Silas torso within the robot, and the Autobot repaint with a new head mold Swerve!

Not to be missed, of course, are the smaller partners that give the name to the line, the Microns. War Breakdown comes with the rhino-hammer Zamu, while Silas Breakdown features mantis-like Magi, and bulked-up Swerve finds a companion in spinning blade saw Sou. Check all of them out by clicking on any of the images below!

Arms Micron War Breakdown










Arms Micron Silas Breakdown












Arms Micron Swerve










Arms Micron Zamu




Arms Micron Magi




Arms Micron Sou

Funny thing about the name "War Breakdown", the Japanese dub actually had that as Breakdown's proper name, with everyone calling him "War Breakdown" instead of just "Breakdown" in that version.

Similarly, Knock Out was likewise renamed "Medic Knock Out" in that version.

I can't believe I had not one, but TWO figures before they got a gallery here! That's a personal achievement for me!

Congrats!

I felt bad that I didn't get these galleries up before now. I started them back in 2013 (hence why the lighting is different in shots such as the vehicle mode and then the robot mode). I'm forcing myself to work through some of the backlog of half finished galleries so that that content can be viewed instead of sitting on my computer.

Currently trying to finish up 2 of the 3 Specialist sets that came out in Asia last year before Motormaster, Blackjack, Huffer, Drift, Deluxe Optimus, Hyper Change Optimus, Legion Grimlock and Legion Sideswipe all arrive tomorrow.

I'm still super butthurt that we didn't get a Hasbro release of Breakdown... >:/

At least it would have had paint apps.

So strange looking back to when Swerve was just a generic red repaint. Although this one's a bit more familiar than others have been, even if a bit too much in Prime's "Everybody's a Wrecker!" fashion...


I'm more disappointed in how those Minicons never got here rather than the Breakdown mold. HAMMERHINO!

Finally the Swerve gallery is here now I Can get that Cgi head box art and finish my Swerve render.


*Finds that the pic has dust and is blurry*



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!



But regardless these are some good galleries.

What do you mean by the everyone is a Wrecker theme?

Sure Wheeljack was never a wrecker but even then there were only three wreckers in the show and other wreckers mentioned have been so before (besides Seaspray but hey we never saw what he was like)
