The new deluxe class packaging is very reminiscent of the Marvel Legends series packaging, and features a trapezoidal design as compared to the previous bubbles on card the Generations figures have used. This puts it more in line with what the Studio Series and The Last Knight Premium figures used in terms of packaging. The side of the box that sort of faces forward and off to the side beside the open window of the figures contains some very nice artwork as well.
Check out the packaging image below, courtesy of the TF-Factory Weibo page, and let us know what you think of the new packaging in the comments section below. And stay tuned! These figures are likely to start hitting retailers sometime during this holiday season!

Far from the only one. Some of us keep the boxes, backing cards and inserts just for the art
Those trapezoid-, or to be more exact, prism-shaped boxes will be hard to flatten, but thankfully they're made from a single piece of cardboard. Just a few cuts more.

People still do that. I've got the PotP Dinobots' art cut off from the backcards (or box, in Grimlock's case) up on one of my walls!
Grimlocktimus wrote:I have binders full of blister pack card backings dating back to beast wars... these boxes take up too much space but damn they look great!
Well, these are obviously meant to both look appealing on the store shelves and be kept as storage for the figures and stacked intact (which doesn't work too well with blister cards in my experience). To that end I do wish they were more space efficient, but they still don't waste as much space as the average Hasbro G1 box did.

No, that makes zero sense to me.
Thats because you are not a huge toy business where 70% of your TF revenue comes from kids and their parents. But if you look at it from that acuate perspective you will see how having it both ways is whats going on and the smartest thing if you want to make the most people happy (70%). So far, combiners have only been on shelves when you could get enough components to build a combiner. It helps the cross sale. Having Chromia be a combiner limb when there is no other combiner component on the shelves or in the wave will only incite frustration. Its not worth that for Hasbro. But with Flywheels, you get both combining components. Backwards compatibility really is just a bonus for fans and it wont confuse any kids getting him since they have the full combiner.

Battle Masters:
ALL of them. I already have Firebolt, Blowpipe, and Aimless from the Takara Legends line, but these are cheap enough that I can have love enough for two (or more) versions of these guys. The real reason I want each, though, is not to outfit my Targetmasters, but to get those fire and explosion effects. Lionizer will, of course, be top priority when these finally hit shelves, being the only "new" character in this class we know of so far.
Micro Masters:
ALL of them. Is there anything really more to say here? This is the first time these guys are being done since G1, and I'm NOT counting weird homages we got in earlier lines, like Universe 2.0 Storm Cloud from Ultra Powerglide.
Deluxe Class:
Sideswipe - Buy. He will replace Henkei Swipe in my collection.
Red Alert - Also buy. He will replace Henkei Alert in my collection.
Cog - Buy. I have Legends Fortress Maximus, so of course, I'll get his G1 companion piece for completion. I may even get two and help outfit some unarmed Autobots with weapons as well.
Sixgun - I have SDCC Metroplex. See above for the same logic as with Cog and Fort Max, right down to getting an extra copy for more weapon options for the Autobots.
Hound - Pass. I'll be sticking with the Universe 2008 mold.
Skytread (a.k.a., Flywheels) - Buy, of course! Roadtrap needs his Duocon buddy!
Chromia - Pass. I prefer the Legends version. This new Chromia just has too much greebling in her sculpt for my liking. I also would prefer Elita One's team not to look so homogenized (referring to Power of the Primes Moonracer and Firestar).
Ironhide - Maybe buy. It remains to be seen if this Ironhide will be enough of an upgrade over the Henkei version. If Siege Ironhide turns out to be a bigger than average deluxe, I'll probably bite. If not, then I don't think it'll be worth it to me.
Ratchet - Maybe buy. If I do end up getting Ironhide, I'll have to get Ratchet too, naturally. If I don't get one of them, I'll get neither.
Refraktor (a.k.a. Reflector) - Buy x 3. No explanation should be needed here.
Brunt - Buy. I have Titans Return Trypticon. See above for Cog and Sixgun for further explanation.
Voyager Class:
ALL of them! These are the best versions we've got in Generations of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, and Thundercracker. I can't pass these up!
Leader Class:
Ultra Magnus - Pass. I have the Autobot Heroes 5-Pack version (redeco of the Combiner Wars mold with snazzy metallic highlights). He looks great to me. The Siege version has even more G1 detailing in robot mode, but the excessive greebling (per my opinion), coupled with the battle damage and the Car Robots inspired alt mode, don't make me think this is really an upgrade to the CW version so much as an alternative choice with a more G1 toy-based transformation scheme.
Shockwave - Buy! We've needed a Voyager sized Shockwave forever! I can forgive that he's being sold at the Leader price point with extra armor pieces to slap on if wanted. I'll find some use for those extra pieces, eventually.
Titan Class:
Omega Supreme - BUY! At last, the true rival to Devestator returns to defend the Autobots from Decepticon oppression! This will replace my "Year of the Snake" Energon Omega Supreme for sure.

Also, she's got Dark Crumplezone levels of re-shelling going on compared to Moonracer, so there's that.

Either way, she's a retool (heavy or otherwise), so you pick your poison, I suppose. Like you, I'm sticking with the Thrilling 30/Transformers Legends version. She looks great, doesn't have all that alt mode paneling around her feet, and stands out more from her teammates Moonracer and Firestar when displayed together. Plus, I really just can't stand the greebling on the Siege Chromia figure. It's way too much. If we someday get Greenlight and Lancer, I hope they're a different mold and transformation scheme from the Power of the Primes Moonracer mold.

Maybe this isn't the right topic for this kind of speculation / wish least question, but with a possible G1-ified Barricade in Siege, are there any other non-G1 characters that would work well in WFC? I mentioned Strongarm the other day, but I just had the thought that Bulkhead would be a great candidate, or someone else chunky like Demolisher.

Cybertron Crumplezone is already a pretty good figure IIRC, and lack of battle damage aside he'd fit in nicely with Siege.

nah, very reliable source said to me (and other staff) over a year ago that Flywheels was going to be this way.
I just hope they do Siege Battletrap and right the injustice of POTP Battletrap.
Do you even need one? You got Battletrap and you can just ignore those tiny bot modes. The photos show that they’re the same height and either have them in thier vehicles or the main body.
I guess I just don’t see the gripe. Happy to have Duocons
Don't get me wrong, I am in not dissapointed by the Battketrap we got, With the then recent RID Crash Combiners it felt like a nice inclusion to the Generations toyline. but I totally agree with Burn, we need a proper Battletrap. For one, the Roadtrap vehicle mode only looks like a truck from the front half. Then you have this totally not a robot chest thing strapped to the roof and his head jsut sorta hanging out in the back, There's no great way to hide that. The Battleshlash helicopter does a decent job of hiding most of the robot parts (I can live with the tailroter hands) but it trades that for some really wonky proportions and an okay Bot Mode. Battletrap himself looks great, but Roadtrap's arms on the back of his legs do hinder posability somewhat.

Ok you are correct. I'd love it if they redid this design in general. Now that I think about it a new third party popped up recently which is redoing cybertron designs so maybe they will do it.

While we cannot confirm it just yet, it would appear as though this new mystery figure may indeed be the rumored Siege Barricade figure, a figure that showed up in an Amazon listing for the price of a deluxe class figure. While it was speculated that this could be a mislabeled Studio Series Barricade, which has been revealed in full, it was mostly believed that this was a redecoed Prowl figure with a new Barricade-esque head. And that appears as though it may be the case!
Check out the video below, including a still of the shot, and let us know what you think of this potential reveal in the comments section below!

I figured this was going to be the case from when we first got a hint that a Deluxe Barricade would be in the Siege line. Now, I'm a lot less hopefull that we'll see a Bluestreak or Smokescreen redeco/retool of Siege Prowl if Barricade is going to be a reuse of the mold.

Posted by Wolfman Jake on October 30th, 2018 @ 1:00pm CDT
I'm going to start with taking a look at the Micro Masters. We know of five teams or two-packs so far, three in Wave 1, and two in Wave 2. For the Autobots, we have Roadhandler & Swindler, Big Shot & Flak, and Steakout & Red Hot, corresponding to the classic G1 Race Car, Battle, and Rescue Patrols. For the Decepticons, we have Storm Cloud & Whisper from the classic G1 Air Strike Patrol as well as a "Soundwave Spy Patrol" consisting of Laserbeak & Ravage. Who else can we expect at this point?
The Micro Masters are replacing the "Legends" price point for now. The only recent line with a year-long release schedule is the Power of the Primes. PotP gave us nine different Legends Class releases, although one of those was simply a reissue from Thrilling 30 with a tweaked paint job (and a missing accessory). So, that's eight entirely new figures, strictly speaking.
If we get about nine Micro Master teams in all for Siege, that leaves about four more to be revealed. Three if we're going by a cap of eight, as described above. We also know from Hasbro that missing members of the G1 Micro Master teams will not be included in other two-packs, so characters like Tailspin, Free Wheeler, Seawatch, Fixit, Sidetrack, Sunrunner, Night Flight, and Tailwind are likely off the table (for now). I think that the most likely candidates are members from the remaining G1 1989 Micromaster Patrols. There's one more of each for the Autobots and the Decepticons, the Off Road Patrol (any two of Highjump, Mudslinger, Powertrain, and Tote) and the Sports Car Patrol (any two of Detour, Blackjack, Hyperdrive, and Road Hugger). That leaves one or two more spots open. We could possibly see some 1990 Micro Master Patrols, but I would like to think chances are good we'll get instead two more "Soundwave Spy Patrols." A couple of two-packs like "Frumble" & Buzzsaw and "Renzy" & Ratbat would make everyone happy, giving us a "complete" set of the most famous of Soundwave's minions. If it turns out we only get one more for a total of eight, then it might be just Buzzsaw & Ratbat. That makes the most sense to me in that case, as it would be a simple repaint and possibly a retool, instead of a completely new tooling repeated twice in the same two-pack, as Rumble and Frenzy would be.
Posted by AcademyofDrX on October 30th, 2018 @ 1:50pm CDT
Some combination of Frenzy, Rumble, Buzzsaw, Ratbat, Wingthing seems like a safe bet for a second or third spy pack.

Nope, I meant evergreen, but I don't blame you for asking/checking. I would prefer Barricade having his own identity with his riot gear helmet and arm tasers and such much more than him being retroactively made into a kinda lazy Prowl repaint/retool. Granted, we haven't actually seen the Prowl figure yet, but I think at this point it's safe to assume he'll just be hyper-accurate to G1 with a maybe stylized car mode like Sideswipe given the poster art and the overall theme of the line, in which case I'm probably going to pass on it as Prowl and be disappointed that Barricade just got relegated to being a black repaint of it unless something about it REALLY surprises me.
Also shout-out to Sabr for answering the question before I woke up, timezones ARE good for something.

yeah it's a shame but it seems so easy for Hasbro to do black repaints of every Optimus Prime in nearly all modern toylines newly with Rodimus/Unicronus and now Prowl/Barricade.

Smokescreen and Bluestreak look more likely. There's no reason to make the lightbar a removable accessory unless you want to use the mold without it.

Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege Battle Masters WFC-S16 Pteraxadon Action Figure
