Official Images: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Terrorcons

I very rarely say this about Cyberverse, but... I want that entire wave.

the more i see the terrorcons the more i want them, hell even soundwave looks good. Prowl not bad either but i just recently picked up bluestreak(smokescreen)so ive got no need for him. Wonder what terrorcon is going to have the combination instructions, hope they dont wait til the 5 pack.

I'm definitely going to pick up the carded Cutthroat, it looks FANTASTIC. And I'm passing on Legion Smokescreen in favor of Prowl, I feel like he looks a lot better.

Of course now I want more info on the gift set more than ever. What's going to be the deco!?

I like them. Too small for my liking but thems the breaks i guess. I like to think they will be a pass for me but if i see them on sale for dirt cheap i would pick them up.
I like Blot and Cutthroat quite a bit. Well actually....i like them all accept for Hun-Grrr. He's alright but not good enough in my books.

More Cybertronians to join Grimlock in the stubby arm department!

***OLD MAN MODE ACTIVATED***

Back in my day, Legends-sized figures all had different weapons!

***OLD MAN MODE DEACTIVATED***

Anyway, I understand that there reasons why most of them have the same weapons, but it just kinda bugs me.

I'm a little disappointed there aren't any images of the Terrorcons' combined mode. I'm curious as to how the decos would work on Abominus.

Well, I'll be leaving the "Terrorcons" combined as Abominus.

Manterax Prime wrote:Well, I'll be leaving the "Terrorcons" combined as Abominus.

Same here. But I might do what I normally do with my other figures: yank them off the shelf and reposition/reconfigure them elsewhere.

I like the terrorcons, although I hope we get a set of deluxes for them. looking at hun-grrr though, I can see that these guys will only combine one way

Well, Hasbro did Bruticus in the deluxe scale. I don't see what's stopping them from making a deluxe scaled Abominus.

Manterax Prime wrote:Well, Hasbro did Bruticus in the deluxe scale. I don't see what's stopping them from making a deluxe scaled Abominus.

This was explained VERY well in another thread, but I'll try to sum it up.

Bruticus is a current character and a BIG, important character in the video game. It made sense to spend the expenditure on a deluxe-sized version. They expected it to sell (and, despite the molds' issues, it has sold VERY well and continues to do so, because it's so AWESOME).

Their doing Abominus is literally throwing us a bone. The new generation of fans has NO idea who this "Abominus" guy is other than apparently he's a combiner made of Predacons. Therefore, Hasbro decided to do it in Cyberverse Legion scale, it minimize costs AND throw us a (also very awesome) bone while they were doing it. To top it off, it sets a precedent; if combiners continue to do well, they'll make more in various scales.

I'd guess that this is at least in part a test to see if it will do well. Remember, the last gestalt we got in Legion/Legends scale was the very cool, but very poorly articulated, Rotf Devastator. They're trying an actual humanoid gestalt this time.

Good luck with that. I've never seen Legions on sale except at 5Below, and I don't have any of those around me.

Why is it the Legion figures manage to be more than just quadrupedal Western dragons that do little more than stand up to transform, but not the Deluxe and larger Predacons?

I love how all the Terrorcons can apparently hold weapons in their mouths!

Legends came with weapons before Prime?

I think/hope you may be referring to me. Either way, these new pictures only make me want the set more. I really love how Blight and Rippersnapper's transformations are similar but not exactly the same. Enough to show they're closely associated within a faction and even that both form legs. But different enough to exist with out the other.

Grade A stuff Hasbro

I don't collect the cyberverse figures (cause I'd rather collect the larger versions) but these beasts look super awesome, if they don't make larger versions of these guys, I'll definitely be getting the beasts.

The more I look at him, the more Prowl looks like a pile of vomit. I'm disgusted by this repaint.

The only Terrorpred I want is Windrazor. Looks an amazing mold with the best damn color scheme I've seen in ages months. On the rear side: Twinstrike is bland, Hun-Gurr is indescribably awful, and Rippersnapper incorporates a boring deco. Abominus wears his moniker fittingly...what an abomination. No complaints with Blight, but I have no reason to buy him.

Soundwave looks terrific.

It's funny how we get an entire wave of nothing but transformers that turn into monsters...

Oh my

Well.. They don't combine but I am down with some terrorcons...

Cyber Bishop wrote:Well.. They don't combine but I am down with some terrorcons...

Are you sure they don't combine? Is the Target set going to have special versions of the figures with some modified parts to allow them to combine? I figured they'd all combine.

The only difference of the Target set is the colors of the Terrorcons. They ALL combine, Cyber Bishop.

The regular release does combine. They have the little pegs and ports for it, if you look closely. The set will only be 1) all of them in one place 2) with some other colour scheme. It just wouldn't make sense to create first a non-combining mold and then a combining mold for these guys. That's an unnecessary expense.

..Has anybody other than me notice thoes faction symbols on soundwave they look familiar.. i just hope its the angle and not that...

DEMEXICONZ wrote:..Has anybody other than me notice thoes faction symbols on soundwave they look familiar.. i just hope its the angle and not that...

They look like Decepticon symbols. Soundwave is a Decepticon. Am I missing something?

GuyIncognito wrote:They look like Decepticon symbols.

They're not Decepticon symbols; they're tattoos of his head!

Am I missing something?

Not really. It's quite clear that they're Decepticon insignia.

I thought putting this was clear enough but i guess not...movie symbol anyone?

This Beast Hunters line is starting to get me liking beastformers. I had a few beasties before now, but these look like fun. And one great thing about beasts is that they have no explicit scale, they can be as large or small as you like and not look silly. I'd like to have some of the Cyberverse beasts in among the larger Deluxes and Voyagers.

DEMEXICONZ wrote:I thought putting this was clear enough but i guess not...movie symbol anyone?

Oh my god it's SILVER. Whatever will we DO!? They're silver in the cartoon, too.

DEMEXICONZ wrote:I thought putting this was clear enough but i guess not...movie symbol anyone?

No, just the normal Decepticon symbol, in silver.

the color has nothing to do with it what i think it is since its clear nobody else sees it its the fugly symbol from the movies with that extra corners in the eyes i just felt like pointing that out thats all not a big deal...

DEMEXICONZ wrote::lol: the color has nothing to do with it what i think it is since its clear nobody else sees it its the fugly symbol from the movies with that extra corners in the eyes i just felt like pointing that out thats all not a big deal...

Looks to me like it has triangle eyes, like the original.

If you say so. I'm pretty sure it's just the regular-eye'd symbol though.

Manterax Prime wrote:The only difference of the Target set is the colors of the Terrorcons. They ALL combine, Cyber Bishop.

Are we certain the Target set will have different colors? I have yet to compare the early photos of the set with the official individual pics from Hasbro. I just want to know so I can decide which one I want to spring for. Thanks in advance for the information!

Kid's right; it's the movie 'con symbol. I'd need even higher-res images to confirm, but it sure as hell look like it.

Never fear, though. It should change for the final product. In a similar case for example, Lazerback's stock image had the prototype Predacon insignia while the final product had the "final draft."

The solicitation we saw where it confirmed it would be Target exclusive said at the bottom right something to the effect of, "This will be released in the same mold with a new color scheme."

YOU'D BETTER GIVE US DELUXE VERSIONS OF THESE, HASBRO! DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IF YOU DON'T???

I'M GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH THESE! HA! LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT!

Just bought twinstrike (rippersnappper)today so when the rest of them come out they will be a complete unit of 5..

That'd be Sinnertwin, my friend. Rippersnapper is the vaguely Man-shark like fellow. Blot is..a bipedal ... thing, Cutthroat has wings, and Hun-Gurrr is the leader.

Besides, there's already a Rippersnapper in this line.

They do? Uh, Maybe I need to re-read this thread but I don't see any pix or confirmation here.. If there is confirmation someplace else please link it for further reading.

There are clearly pegs on the limbs and pegholes on Hun-Gurrr which have NO purpose other than combining.

You have Sinnertwin in hand, man! XD

I am assuming you are referring to those hole looking things on his legs right?

Don't really see any pegs on the other figs nor can I see how they would successfully combine.. Maybe if Hun Gurr was a legion commander sized... I will look on my sinnertwin and see if I can figure out how he would combine as a leg.

Sinnertwin is an arm, we don't know if it can scramble yet. Hun-gurr has peg holes on his robot mode arms for sure, I haven't noticed where the other set is.

Hmmm.. Looking at sinnertwin now..

I see some pegs on each side of his legs that looks as if they could snap into Hun Gurr's arm holes..

Now I am interested..

Now you're getting it!

Edit: Oh, duh, there are clip points underneath Hun-gurrr's beast heads, those are obviously how the legs attach. I hope there's a peg that goes into the mouths as well, for stability's sake.
