While SDCC is now in the past, we do have official images of the toys revealed at the show. These include Rumble (who looks as stumpy as ever), Ratbat, Singe, Power Punch, Direct Hit and fan favourite Rung. We can see the individual Micromasters in their unonnected alt modes as well as in their weapon mode. We have a good look at Rung in alt mode as well. These are all slated for an end of year release at wide retail. There are also the images of the Walmart exclusive cell shaded Optimus Prime and Megatron toys without the black backgrounds. Soundblaster is there as well. Will you be getting all of these?

More vibrant hues and a paint deco willing to try somethi g different? But it looks like they are using a tiger strip maskonh os sorts to achieve the cell shaded look. We haven't seen it in person yet and I worry that it wont lookvas good from all angles
But since Ring has a weapon mode now, does that mean he's a Holy Hand Grenade Launcher?
Posted by blackeyedprime on July 29th, 2019 @ 12:19pm CDT
Ratbat feels like it is missing bits in cassette style mode and definitely missing his g1 weapons. Rumble...his head really does just turn around...cheapo. Easy pass on these as better versions exist of the characters even if they aint going to fit inside siege soundwaves.
Will pick up soundblaster, Apeface and might give the cell shaded style figures a go.

How do you figure? It's pointing away from him. It's one of those big four-barrel rocket launchers that rests its body on the shoulder of its wielder.blackeyedprime wrote:Apeface is going to shoot himself with that micromaster weapon.

For both the Micromaster 10-Pack and the Seekers 3-Pack?

I haven't received an email yet about any cancelation. I ordered mine to be delivered to my house. Was your order for a store pick-up or a home delivery?

Now I need to go find a TR or Generations Scourge to go with Fracas. I don't have a Scourge yet in any capacity.
also need to get a 2nd Firedrive for Ricochet, he'll be a limb, but he can wield his Targetmaster in combined form

They'll be in gun mode, I hardly mind if they are the same mold in different colors in this case. But I hope we get more melee weapons in the next line, and different styled blasters

I got my shipping notice from Target a few hours ago! I’ll have my Micromasters soon! It must be a problem with ship-to or pick-up-at store options getting canceled.

Thank you for the links!
I got the Micro pack for free with my $40 RedCard coupon with free shipping. Just paid tax and was good to go!
Got my eye on the Seeker link for when it restocks.

Probably Red Alert since his Siege website code was Rung and I think the two knew each other in IDW but it's been forever since I've read it.

If so, then I'll just manipulate the articulated figures to wrap around the 5mm peg grip of Rung's gun mode.

Just the Siege Battle Masters? Alrighty.william-james88 wrote:Could someone do a quick rundown for me of which battlemaster goes with the target masters we got so far in the Gen line?
- WFC-S1 Firedrive (renamed Firebolt), Targetmaster partner of Hot Rod
- WFC-S2 Lionizer, Action Master partner of Rad (no official modern day toy, but Cybertron Smokescreen is a decent stand-in)
- WFC-S3 Blowpipe, Targetmaster partner of Triggerhappy
- WFC-S16 Pteraxadon, new character with no known preexisting partnership
- WFC-S17 Aimless, Targetmaster partner of Misfire
- WFC-S30 Caliburst, Targetmaster partner of Sligslinger
WFC-S31 Smashdown, new character with no known preexisting partnership, but is said to be affiliated with the Wreckers - Rung, was his own person and not partnered with any one person in particular in the IDW1 comics
- Singe, one of two Targetmaster partners of Spinister
- Dazzlestrike, new character who comes packed with Greenlight
- Trenchfoot, appears to be a new character and comes packed with Covert Clone Sideswipe and Slamdance
- Fracas, Targetmaster partner of Scourge but comes packed with Skywarp
- Shrute (renamed Hairsplitter), the other Targetmaster partner of Spinister, but comes packed with Skywarp
- Terror-Daxtyl, new character who comes packed with Skywarp
Posted by Emerje on July 30th, 2019 @ 12:37am CDT
My head canon is that Dazzlestrike is a new take on Blackcat. I mean, an Autobot cat with green accents, why not?

Posted by Deadput on July 30th, 2019 @ 1:30am CDT
While the Dino in the comic probably isn't them they seem to be inspired by Pteraxadon visually.
I like the idea of Prowl having his own Laserbeak but isn't exactly the same in alt form as them.

Some of the holes on the insides of his lower legs might be 5mm; don't own him myself so I can't check.Sabrblade wrote:Not even screw holes?Wireless_Phantom wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I'm gonna see if my Cybertron Primus has any good 5mm holes to plug Rung into.ZeroWolf wrote:My big question is, who's going to wield Rung

Rung's backpack might potentially have a 5mm port like Blowpipe's gun piece does; if so you'd probably be able to stick him onto one of Primus' Mini-Con ports. But that's an if.
Posted by blackeyedprime on July 30th, 2019 @ 3:12am CDT
in robot mode, one on each arm should work if the peg is as long as the target master Ive used tho its a bit loose/not a snug fit and still holds it in place with out worrying about a snapped peg.
If Spinister ever gets his guns in the right color/sculpt Scourges sweeps can have the Siege ones.
No visible screw holes in alt mode which is pretty darn good for a toy of its age and shows some of the modern figures up (the stands have some slight visible screws but its really not that bad. I just realised mine is missing his butt flap as I've removed it to display him better in robot mode and also his cyber key thing would have been usefull to have to transform him.

My expectations for most of the "humanoid" Battle Masters is already pretty low, honestly. They couldn't even get the colors of Firebolt, Blowpipe, Aimless, and Caliburst right, let alone individual molded detail or even the correct number of gun barrels. The fact that "Shrute" and Singe actually are pretty much the right colors is pretty fantastic.

There are some deviations in detail, admittedly, as a result of Hasbro copying the Legends versions instead of referencing the original figures directly (yeah, I said it again; sue me):
This copying of the Legends versions is also why some of the detail on Aimless' new-mold parts is wonky. But he does at least have the right colors and number of barrels, if I'm any judge
Were you perhaps thinking of the bungled Fracas (According to the boxback, he was supposed to at least have the gray and black switched, but they blew it!) that comes with Skywarp when you talked about wrong colors, details, and barrel count? I agree with you that "Caliburst" is completely wrong. He is not really Caliburst at all, he is G2 Blowpipe. I can only assume he was spawned by some fool operating under the delusion that it was a good idea to use "The TrainwreckRebirth" as a reference.
