Last but not least, we’ve received official images of the new Transformers Alt Modes line. This series of transforming SD Transformers come blind-packed, so fans will have fun catching ’em all! In addition to releases seen before such as Optimus Prime and the Seekers, there are a couple of new ones here like Prowl and Ultra Magnus. The full lineup is:
- Optimus Prime
- Ultra Magnus
- Prowl
- Megatron
- Starscream
- Thundercracker
- Skywarp
- Nemesis Prime

There are precut holes in the boxes. You can see who you're getting. I got a Nemesis Prime today.

I'd be surprised if Takara released these too and painted them better. But with Q-Transformer on their market, I doubt it'll happen.

Cute, probably will pick a few of these up.
Haywired
Not into blindpacked stuff.
In terms of chibi cuteness Q-formers work better for me.
Galvamaximus
For a moment I thought they were compatible with the Titans Returns
Starscream Gaga
Yeah, you can see the gimmick being demonstrated on the box. You pull the faction symbol and it transforms.
There is one incoming.
Ignoring that all Generations toys are Headmasters for the next year or so, Scourge was also released by Takara as a Tokyo Toy Show exclusive and there's an upcoming Voyager-class Laser Prime that could potentially become a Scourge in the future
And seriously, why would any be ignorant enough to think these are being made "instead of" something else? They're blindpacked toys at an entirely different price-range. They're not replacing anything. Seriously, non-mainline toys like these have been a Transformers staple since forever.
With all that being said I really want the Megatron.

Why do all of their faces look like 2G1C reaction faces? eugh…
KnightHawkke
Reasons.
Why else.
Dark Magnus
Have we seen Ultra Magnus transformed. I'm guessing it's just Magnus' noggin on a white Prime body.

That's some nice Super-Deformed style artwork.
pegasusprime
this is more important than beast wars 20 really ??? more than a new classics rodimus??? more than a generations rid scourge 5 year and what we got the overpriced transformers collector club one…….

Would have bought some….until the phrase Blind Box was used. F that. Let them rot.

Blind-packed? CHECK
Oversized heads that look weird? CHECK
Silly, sometimes unpainted faction-symbols over said heads? CHECK
Tiny bodies that look silly in alt-mode under said heads? CHECK.
Doomed to be on clearance/bargain-bucket in a discount shop in your neighbourhood? CHECK
griffn29
Wow, those jets with wheels on them actually look really stupid.
ex dtw2003
Hate to say it buried kinda want one of these.
Underlord
It does make me wonder why Hasbro doesn't just release Q transformers instead. The blind box is less of a motivator to get these for me.
Autovolt 127
No thanks I'm good.
FanimusMaximus
…Why?
NemiMonkey
Most likely it's what triggers the switching gimmick from bot to vehicle. If it's just clipped on you might just be able to remove it for a more normal look. If that's a possibility I might try to hunt down a Nemesis Prime. Really depends on how they are in the end. Kinda hoping someone does a vid review or something.
ACMagnus
They're planes with wheels. You can clearly see cockpits.
