Once again thanks to TF-Factory Weibo page, we have with us an In-Package image showcasing Autobot Cog and Hound along with their previously seen Deluxe Class Wave 1 partners Sideswipe and Skytread.
Deluxe sized figures are coming in boxes, rather than the usual blisters from previous lines. All of them have got the new trapezoidal styled box we have seen for Siege Voyager figures.
Wave 1 is scheduled to release around the holiday season followed by Wave 2 featuring Chromia, Ironhide, Refraktor and Brunt.
You can check out the new image, after the jump.

I guess leaders will be late? Maybe December or January? So far all of wave 1 is out, not retail but comic shops in some areas

Cog looks amazing. Totally buying him.

No, they're Hasbro images, but ladypapa has most of them larger. Lionizer's pics are Takara stock photos, though, except for the packaging image which is taken from NDA Toys.
In Demand Toys has EU packaging photos for the Battlemasters.

This is all I have found thus far.

Found a bunch here I'm not sure we've seen, especially on the Battlemasters
siege – Collection Toys
(out the door, no time to harvest now)
EDIT: I think they might be the takara images
Lazerwave
I preordered my figures. I'm more excited for Hound and Sideswipe. Don't really care about the others.
Capirus
Yeeeeaaahhh… I'm just going to wait until next week when Cape and Cowls get them in. $55 for each? Ridiculous.
King Glurch
Anything with a price markup like that is probably a shady third party seller.
artiepants
LOL. You've got serious problems if you are willing to pay that much for a wave 1 Deluxe.
With that shipping fee, i'm sure that isn't Amazon but a shady third party seller.

Scalp strong

It appears that half of the Wave 1 Transformers War for Cybertron Siege toys will be released in time for the Christmas season of 2018. Good luck with collecting them all. TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT.

Just for the record, those are EU packaging stock photos.
And yes, this ladypapa seller appears to have some access to Hasbro's image library. I've found a lot of stock photos there which I either haven't seen anywhere else in that that resolution, or not at all.

Looks like Sellers On ebay Are starting to get Battlemasters, Deluxes, Voyagers In stock.
Anyways Here's the deluxe stock photos without the weibo marks.
dCon
Considering they just re licensed the season 1
Trans
Formers
name and logo stacked like that original, plus added thw fact story / toys will be part of it id say there is a good chance that may happen at least.
autobot prowl
I really hope some of the wash can be removed easily with alcohol. Not a fan of the dirty and weathered look they are going for.
King Glurch
That would be even better. Like with the season 2 and movie bots that just suddenly appeared with no explanation.
Deadend
These look fantastic!
Yup.
That's what Cyberverse is.
This we do need. Not only a continuation though. Something that fills in untold gaps of the early days, and does the between seasons 2 and 3, as well as the after season 4 that leads to JG1 and eventually beast wars. Also brings in the new lore additions too and new characters. Preferably not on some kind of exclusive platform though like Amazon Prime or Netflix. Needs something with wider ease of access to generate hype and not push piracy. From the looks of things, this was originally why something like "The Hub" was made, and was going to build to as the channel grew in media library. We can see elements of teasing that with Renegades and original TF Prime. Which is a shame so many fans wished it failure, and then eventually the shake ups that came because of other issues. The Hub would have been a great place to grow into a wider spread media presence to showcase their entertainment libraries. But with the pop culture relevance, and Paramount ties, Paramount Network or MTV are good choices too, and MTV does have a free show streaming site. Adult Swim may not be as good of a fit, but it'd be one to keep an eye on as possible too, or the Toonami block on Saturday nights. Personally, I'd say lean on MTV or Paramount Network though. Both I'm sure are kicking themselves from missing out on Voltron after how meh their attempt went, so they'd probably jump at the chance for something like a Transformers and GI Joe revival/return for older audiences. And there's other possibilities too.
Speaking of:
The DJD is possible as are other series characters. Hasbro is not shy about using IDW characters as they've shown from T30 to CW. So we will likely get those added to the lore too. WFC on forward is being handled like Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse, and "Dark stories" or "dark characters" never stopped either one from getting figures made or used in media. Sabertooth, Joker, Dr. Light, you name it have still been featured in cartoons and had toys made of them even with how dark their stories can be at times.
Same as we might get wider lore additions of characters over time too, as well as all new additions too. We've only seen teases of what year 1 of WFC siege will be, and maybe not even all of it. We've yet to see what WFC2 or 3 will be, let alone what's coming after. So if these do well, we will likely see a lot coming over time as the brand grows bigger and bigger again as well as gains media traction in a full resurgence.
With the IDW relaunch still to come, I wouldn't count the DJD out yet, but I also wouldn't lean so heavy on them as Retools of WFC material. They may draw off of better wider potential too. Though I expect they still would integrate in WFC C.O.M.B.A.T. systems for play factors and enhancements.

Thanks. I'm not in the States, so my only reference point is e-tailer pricing (so I am looking at $54 here, edit: make that €54 for my region). Oh and with out of the loop I meant that the last mainline figure I bought (until yesterday actually…) was Generations Thrust…that was what, 2010?
But man, was thinking of getting Shockwave. But at $54 + shipping I think I'm gonna have to pass.
artiepants
MSRP for leaders is $49.99. has been since… Titan's Return??? (maybe POTP) i think it went from $40 to $45 when T30 Jetfire came out.
Seige MSRP (AFAIK):
Battlemasters (aka target masters) $5.99
Micromaster 2-packs $9.99
Deluxes $19.99
Voyagers i believe are going up to $29.99
Leaders $49.99
yvk2000
Woa, $53 for Magnus & Shockwave; is that a standard for a leader class figure? I'm out of the loop but that's practically a deluxe plus a voyager…
Marvelboy1974
I want that Sideswipe!
