I'm giddy looking at that gorgeous human.

Didn't know Obama was your type.

Why are they pairing up the voyager prime with leader megatron? they should pair the same size class so we know how they scale.

That leader Megatron

Definitely getting this figure no questions asked for me

So Nitro is definitely a plane former.

I still need some pics of that upcoming new mold deluxe Bumblebee. It looks SO good from the renders we saw earlier, I've been drooling over it for weeks now

Holy crap I thought he looked like Obama at first glance too.

Did anybody notice the word-'autobots' written on the banner in cybertronian.

I'm pretty sure Berserker is in the film why would he otherwise be part of wave one with Bumblebee and Barricade who are both important characters in the new film?

And he isn't a Crankcase remold either Berserker is a completely new mold with different engineering.

Anyone else think Nitro looks he'll convert into a Con Gunship?

I took a look at the packaging, and found out something surprising: Optimus Prime and Bumblebee have the necessary licensing info, but Barricade does not.

Ohhh, that'd be cool! Yes please to that, I'd be even more super-onboard if that turns out to be true! I love me some well-executed and interesting Cybertronian modes, and if he could be piloted by like a Deluxe/Legends/Legion figure too...

Barricade has always had licensing issues ever since the 2007 toys if I remember correctly Barricade according to the toys is technically not a real mustang (As in the toys not the movies) in fact the shape of the Deluxe toy car for TLK is not completely accurate to the movie one it's similar to Sideways's ROTF deluxe car "close enough" case.

Nope, Barricade is a custom model called the Saleen S281, and licensed as such.

Me too. I'm like, skip that awful repaint of AoE Bee I already got, I wanna see more of the neeeew one!

I remember something happening to Barricade though although it's been forever and at the time I never really cared.

I see voyager Optimus still have a backpack, but it's not a ugly frame. I wonder how it look from the side?

Also, I desire ALL of these toys now.
My poor wallet...

My only real issue with the backpack is that it's so simple looking. From the front? Intricately designed torso full of details and shapes. From the back? Big slab of blue.

Seeing that Nitro is a Voyager renews my hope for a Voyager Onslaught. The listings only seemed to confrim Prime, Grim, Megs, Hound, Scorn and a Bee. Here's hoping...

He's clearly aiming for a chandelier above Prime's head which will fall and incapacitate him, allowing Megatron the opportunity to gloat about how he "wasn't aiming for you".

Hyper Zed Blade wrote:He kind of reminds me of...

Makes me wonder if these set of 'cons are more drones given sentient life by Galvatron's Magical-Hand-Of-Life (I hope they explain the logic behind that), or actual 'cons that have been on the run since the events of D.O.T.M.

Hey, that's a really cool origin for the design! I'd assume then that Nitro represents a singular, nominally unique entity amongst a horde of nigh-identical warriors, probably in much the same way as Stinger was in AoE (and Gnaw before him). Nice catch there - I would never have noticed that the design was based on KSI bosses (or indeed that KSI Bosses existed) if you hadn't pointed it out!

(Though since it seems that Nitro is indeed based on those, and being man-made Transformers, I'd assume that Nitro does in fact turn into a real-world vehicle. Probably a jet of some description and probably cool, but... thus dies the dream of having a DOTM-gunship Transformer. )

Uhhhh Nitro is this Shockwave looking character (con in the middle) both pictures of his toy don't picture the head good but all the details like his turbines and the missiles on them as well as his legs makes it 100% him.

Other characters are Hooligan (Rusty Van) on the roof, Hooligan (Silver bike) on the light pole in the middle, and Onslaught (green tow truck) on the very right

Details he shares with Shockwave besides his head is his weapon tube on his left arm otherwise he uses the Ksi Boss look.

That Sqweeks is looking better every time I see it. He will be mine.

Hasn't this guy shown up before - holding something horribly mistransformed that we were joking about last year - I'm sure I recognise him.

Anyway I do kinda wish that Legion barricade was Black rather than dark blue as I was hoping he'd work as a Funpub legion Barricade equivalent.

I wonder if they will be making store exclusives mixing a legion with a deluxe or bigger boxed sets of legions ?

I'm still tryin' to understand if in the end Leader Megatron will have one or two flame effects.

MadProject wrote:I'm still tryin' to understand if in the end Leader Megatron will have one or two flame effects.

two flame pieces I thought confirmed.

I think he needs two as they are also designed to fit in his engines as well as in his "Flame thrower".

I was also wondering something about Megatron - do his wings swing forward and fit flush against the body for super sonic mode like a F/A-37 Talon from the Movie "Stealth" ?.

After having his face shown off for the first time earlier this week it appears as if Cogman is getting a toy! Weibo user 变形金刚改造工厂的淘宝店 has shown off another one of those packaging images that revealed the Infernocus combiner, deluxe Megatron, voyager Nitro, and deluxe Skullitron. No name nor robot mode is seen on the box art, but based on the alt mode seen and the rumors, this would appear to be Cogman. Check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Doesn't look much like an Aston...

Either a one step thing or they weren't able to acquire a licence to model toys to an accurate Aston Martin the symbol is on the side of the car though.

Probably more of a rotf Sideways situation then a Dino/Mirage one.

The fact it seems to have the Aston Martin symbol makes it a licensed model. One-Steps always have some design compromises in order to accommodate the gimmick.

Speaking of models, is there a list somewhere of all the models used?

Which Faction is Cogman - and do we even know why he's called that ?

It's not a compromise thing, it just doesn't look like an Aston. The details are all off.

RAR wrote:Which Faction is Cogman - and do we even know why he's called that ?

Cogman is an Autobot Headmaster and it's just character name made up for the movies which is fine new characters keep thing fresh.

This is his headmaster's robot form notice the gears and cogs in his details.



Here is his bio as described by Tfwiki

Cogman is a Headmaster, diminutive in size for a Transformer. As the faithful manservant of Sir Edmund Burton, he's very polite and proper, but suffers from... "anger issues."

So then Cogman is the Cybertronian version of Dutch?

Cobotron wrote:So then Cogman is the Cybertronian version of Dutch?

Honestly after Rogue one and the fact that Alan Tudyk was already in DOTM I'm getting that feeling in my guy that Alan will be voicing Cogman.

I thought Cogman was a silly name when I first saw it but it's grown on me especially from what we know about the character so far.

Have to admit I love those cog details on him too. A lil too intricate to work on the toy though?

Cogman isn't an entirely uncommon surname in England which puts the character in rare company with Shrapnel (the shards of exploded metal and debris the Insecticon is named for comes from British Lieutenant General Henry Shrapnel). The name cogman originally comes from the seller of coarse cloth or cogware. Incidentally, a cog is the tooth of a gear, not the gear itself.

There are a few more TF names out there that are also human names, be they first names or last names.

Dino is a good example I used to dislike the name but when I think of how he was supposed to be named Mirage I think it fits since Dino sounds a bit exotic which fits with G1 Mirage being high class.

And it sounds cool to say dee-no just like mi-raaagee

My head canon (which is not a fact OK) in the movieverse transformers with more "human" names were of the higher class and rich citizens and most of them were killed during the war because of stereotypical most rich people are incompetent tropes.

I know, I didn't say they were the only two, just that it's rare. I only used Shrapnel as a popular example.

Not even joking, he's his robot butler.

This isn't entirely related to the toys, but are those teeth on Cogman's cheeks? It kinda looks like he has a huge mouth and the scuba mouth thing is covering the front of it.

Uhmm, okay, that's not an Aston in any way shape or form, and it seems kind of strange to just plaster the logo on the side of a car that looks nothing like any car they make. Especially when they could.have put it on the front of the car, like actual Aston Martins. Has anything like this happened before? Like, a one step/legion class Bumblebee that doesn't look like a camaro and the just put the Chevy logo in some random place? Hmm

Jesus Christ, that's terrifying. I just imagine some horror movie where he scuttles on all fours and has this gigantic mouth with thousands of teeth and a super-long pointed tongue. Bleh.

Doesn't Grimlock from IDW have a similar thing going on? Or Mileena from those Mortal Kombat games since they gave her lips?

Just looks like wires to me, not teeth.

Don't suppose as a Headmaster his toy will have any compatiblity with Titans Return, hm?

Seems like an ideal promo toy to make either a G1 Fort Max compatible or Titans Return compatible mini-figure.

If he's a Headmasters (head) then

Why the car mode (does he have a tector body or the ability to capture earth tech to make it into a body for him.

Or does he have a partner character he turns into the head of.

He does solve one issue Bay has been reluctant to deal with which is talking in vehicle mode (though Mudflap and Skids did it very briefly). as when in vehicle mode he'd be sitting in the vehicle and if a human was with him he'd be able to conduct a normal conversation.

So just an observation anyway.

That's what Bay did say.

Although I'm sure the Aston Martin is his original body since it hasn't been seen around Decepticons during filming although if it was a con it might not transform until being taken over.

Like Headmaster from Animated? Or the aliens from Dead Space...
