Takara Tomy Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege March 2019 Listings

Big Shot is now Top Shot? That's probably easier to copyright if it's not just a bad translation. Flac should be Flak, or I guess it's Flask now, and Visper should be Whisper which is great because I really wanted to see him in the Air Strike set.

Hopefully we'll see all of these in a few hours.

Before the full panel and event for the Hasbro Trasformers section of New York Comic Con 2018, we have a sneak peek at two new posters for the War for Cybertron: Siege toyline, courtesy of Seibertron and megatronus who are currently on site!

The two posters mirrored below feature - at long last - the Decepticon faction in the Cybertronian war, with a specific poster for Megatron himself, and one for the Decepticon high command featuring Shockwave, Soundwave with Ravage and Laserbeak, Starscream, Thundercracker... and Omega Supreme's head. Check them both out below, and stay tuned for more updates from NYCC as they roll in!

Wait, so Omega's definitely the titan for the year? Neat

Laserbeak and Ravage are the most important reveals here.

So, what, Megatron killed Omega Supreme and turned him into a throne footstool?

Also, there's our solid confirmation of Thundercracker and Soundwave.

These look amazing! I hope the Siege posters will be available for purchase at some point. This is shaping up to be the Transformers toyline I've been waiting for!

Looks like it could just be an Omega Guardian. So Omega Supreme still alive and comes back for retalion.

NOTE: The Megatron poster DOES have hidden writing.

Look just above the fusion cannon:

I'm assuming the rest that isn't standing out completes it to say VICTORY

Ack, WfC is gonna hurt so good

Given that he almost entirely dismembered Omega Supreme in that image, i'd say it's #accurate.

eh, not really feeling the overly traditional G1 designs here (just not my thing at all these days) but hey if that results in a decent voyager sized G1 Shockwave for once then that'll be nice i guess.
Also is it possible to make a non-partsforming Omega Supreme? The guy was never much of a Transformer i guess. I enjoyed the Omegatron toy while I had it but the main reason for an Omega Supreme toy to turn into a rocketbase with tracks is for the tank to go round on the track all by itself thanks to electronics. Dunno if a Siege version will go that far but I'd feel like the lack of electronics in an Omega Supreme toy would greatly reduce it's appeal.

You know I want the exact opposite from any new Omega Supreme. I'm hoping for a big ass base bot that's partsformery AF

I want all kinds of bits and pieces and vehicles and little places for small TFs to hide. Full blown playset stuff.

The art is cool, but of course as a HUGE fan of Omega Supreme, I'm not overly fond of what they depict. If this was all just subversion of expectation just to re release Metroplex, or a "Metro-Titan" recolor, I'm going to be disappointed.

Not sure what the strategy would be... Hey look, here's this years brand new, big ass TITAN figure- Omega Supreme, who dies btw...

Yeah I don't really care for characters getting stuck in playset form for other toys though. Is why I was never fond of Fort Max or Metroplex. At least Scorponok had a whole other alt-mode that wasn't a base at all (and plus i prefered his Marvel comics portrayal where he was regular sized anyways). Omega I guess can get away with it cos he's never had much of a personality so not really losing out on much if he's in base mode i suppose.

Like how they kept killing off recent toys in those awful machinama (not sure how to spell that) cartoons such as Predaking?

Carnivius_Prime wrote:Like how they kept killing off recent toys in those awful machinama (not sure how to spell that) cartoons such as Predaking?

more or less yeah. At least with the first 2 series, they came so late, the toys were already well established. But yeah, having Predaking die like a chump was pretty awful.

Of course, I guess one could interpret these as Decepticon propaganda posters of what they would *like* to accomplish, more than what actually happens.

It Looks like the Decepticons got a head of the game.

Come on peeps they are Omega Sentinels not Omega Supreme.

We know that in some continuities the Omega Sentinels are first line of defense it so only makes sense there would a few defeated ones.

Why would the Decepticons revel in the defeat of one Omega Sentinel though? I mean, you dont see the mob partying over the loss of one Officer, unless it was the Police Chief or District Attorney

Does the average fan walking around NYCC seeing that pic know that?

the sheer size, strength and power of OStl is enough to boost your beaten up troops morale.

Showing the heads of your enemy to your enemy is a huge sign dominance.

Edward I with William Wallace, Charles II with Oliver Cromwell, Vlad the Impaler with the Moors & Megatron with Orious of Iacon
Even IS does it today.

There isn't a lot of hype in those pics, at least for me, because at this point this is basically 100% what we expected: the core/major Decepticons (minus Skywarp, for now) presumably all at the Voyager and Leader class. That said, getting a Voyager Soundwave with his minions definitely interest me quite a bit since I passed up on the Titans Return version. Omega Supreme is also unsurprising, we all basically called it months ago but I'll reserve judgment if he's any good until we see it.

I'm still a little too jaded on early G1, not to mention the fact I just got a decent (albeit unusual) CHUG Megatron to feel super excited, even if odds are the Siege version of Optimus and Megatron seem like they will be the definitive version of the coming years. I'm just a little sore after having had to hunt down Titans Return' triple-changing Optimus and Megatron and liking them quite a bit. What am I going to do, sell them?

Soundwave (plus minions) and Shockwave are on my to-get-immediately list.

I guess I always just interpreted the Guardian Robots/ Sentinels differently. Not unlike Sentinels in an X-Men comic. Sure they are Big & Strong, but with some effort a strong Decepticon like Megatron, Shockwave, or maybe even Starscream (if he was stealthy enough) could take one down. But Omega Supreme is on a whole other level, Being the only sentient one with a spark, and probably 100X stronger than any average Guardian/Sentinel.

I don't recall in any fiction the Decepticons fearing the Sentinels in general like they actually feared Omega Supreme.

Shockwave is looking really good. Heck they all are.

Thanks to an early posting from online resource IGN, we have the full reveals from the War for Cybertron: Siege line currently happening at New York Comic Con 2018, as Hasbro Transformers are showing off the moment we've all been waiting for: the Decepticon faction is here, and ready to steamroll their way to victory.

Check out in the official render images below the classic line-up of Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Refraktor (Reflector, with some changes to its alt mode to become what looks to be Shockwave's gun), and Starscream, the leader of the Seekers in his Tetrajet mode. Take a look below, and join the discussion!

This morning, during Hasbro's Transformers panel, a bunch of brand-new baddies were revealed from the War For Cybertron: Siege line: Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Refraktor, and Starscream (yes, actually Starscream, not Blitzwing.)

The designs all take cues from the classic Generation 1 aesthetic, but with some modern retooling. For instance, Megatron has an all new Cybertronian tank vehicle mode.

This lineup will be hitting stores early 2019, as well as HasbroToyShop.com.

I'm an average fan, and I'd assume and I'm still assuming it's Omega Supreme. I also don't see Hasbro being that deep.

So is Soundwave a space barge now? I can tug it!

Thar Reflector, hot diggity damn!

Whelp, that Shockwave just nullified any need for the large Cyberverse one.

REFLECTOR!? IS THAT A REFLECTOR I SEE?! WAS THAT EVEN CONSIDERED?! Did we even stop to consider reflector? I don't think we did.

Reminder that reflector will cost ~$51 USD to have a full camera. Yikes . Still getting them all though

Awesome!

wew lads

Updated with Starscream too!

Reflector looks so good!
I still don't know what Soundwave transforms into but I will probably buy it.

So reflector definitely looks like 3 bots in Camera mode. Are they 3 identical bots to buy separately? Or do we buy a Deluxe/Voyager reflector pack and get all 3?

mordhelm wrote:So reflector definitely looks like 3 bots in Camera mode. Are they 3 identical bots to buy separately? Or do we buy a Deluxe/Voyager reflector pack and get all 3?

looks like the same bot we have to buy thee times. Each of them comes with 1/3 of the scope and stand.

Kudos on the design, terrible idea on the packaging. Assuming they are Deluxe, and normal wave distribution with only 2 per case...

these look awesome so far... not sure how many bots is reflector nor what sound wave is supposed to be but I like them lots...

the tetra jets look a bit less imposing with their blunted out nosecones...

think what they did with shockwave and the weapon gimmicks is pretty good.

now if only they gave TR sound wave those g1 style weapons

Could I not just buy Shockwave but without all that unnecessary crap with him? It looks like he killed other Shockwaves and used their body parts for evil reasons

Soundwave looks ok i guess if you like Soundwave. Alt-mode looks like junk though but preferable to a tape deck at least.

Megatron looks decent. Pass on the sword but it looks like it's got the gun turret inside it so looks necessary for alt-mode annoyingly.

Reflector is and always will be a stupid concept but if you're gonna buy it then i suppose that looks the best way.

Starscream doesn't do it for me at all. Was never fond of the G1 seeker bot form anyways but that cybertronian jet isn't my thing. (hey at least it looks cybertronian though, unlike certain autobots vehicle forms)

I'd assume legend class. Still that puts us at least $30, which I'll gladly pay. A three pack would simplify my life though.

Reflecor FINALLY gets some love.

So what size is Shockwave without the armor, Voyager?

I have no problem with the price on buying 3 of them. I think the problem is going to be finding 3 of them unless Hasbro sends a solid case of them instead of mixed with others. Plus, there is no legends class in Siege.

I'm assuming he's voyager size with that silly backpack crud to make it Leader costs.

Nice to see some Cybertron modes on Cybertron figures even if Soundwave is a...a...a *maybe it can be a lamp post and salvage the alt mode or something). Still might be a possible buy, hoping his mini bots are good this time around.

Megatron doesnt look a vast difference to the TR figure to justify a buy, other than having him being different to a blitzwing repaint, but nah, money saved.

Reflector hell yes,

Shockwave, I really like the spaceship mode on this one (reminds a bit of SDF-1 and japanese anime in general, especially how robot mode can use the platform) so it will likely replace my energon shockwave as my 'toy' display version.

Starscream, looks a bit of a mess on his undercarriage but picking up either way as it's different from the classics and the POTP and CW versions were very easy passes for me. In robot mode it looks hard to tell that it doesnt turn into a G1 Jet rather than a G1 Tetra Jet.

As choosey as I'm over this line, Hasbro is doing pretty well so far.

I often see the car part of Battletrap selling in stores without the helicopter guy (I can't remember the indiviual names they've been given) to be found at all.

Shockwave is absolutely bought on sight, I'm guessing we would've got this exact figure in Power of the Primes had Shockwave won that fan poll. Soundwave I'd say is a maybe at this point, the robot mode is nice, but I don't like the battle damage detailing and I'm not sure what to think about the vehicle mode. Megatron looks okay, but I'm skipping both him and Starscream because I'm still satisfied with the Combiner Wars versions.

I'm a bit confused as to whether or not Shockwave has an alt-mode without the backpack required. I wouldn't have minded buying a voyager class item of just that figure but Leader price is way too much when I don't like the backpack part at all.

May or may not get Megatron if I may or may not get the Prime. I dunno. This line's not doing it for me generally.

More stuff!
