Via NDA-Toys website we can share for you our first in-package images of the War for Cybertron: Siege Battle Masters Wave 1.
We have images of Battle Masters Lionizer, Firedrive (G1 Firebolt) and, as a nice surprise, our first look at Blowpipe (also our first Decepticon toy in the line). The Battle Masters are small robots, similar to the classic G1 Targetmasters, that can become weapons for the bigger figures of the line. All of them include additional clear “blast effect” pieces, a very nice addition that we are sure many fans would be pleased about it.
You can check out the mirrored images after the jump, and then you can sound off on the 2005 Boards!

I'm thinking the decision to create a line-wide weapon-effects system (the missiles, in this case) necessitated a whole new mold.
YoungPrime
Ah, so that was their long term plan!
PrimalFury
youd have to buy 2 blowpipes, otherwise it would be really odd and not symetrical

This is awesome for everyone who wanted Targetmasters in Titans Return and didn't get the Takara versions. I also like how they're sold separate too.. in case there's one that I really like in both modes. I hope they do more of the beasts. I was disappointed that the TR Ramhorn idea wasn't used more for the other cassettes. Gimmick or no gimmick, that made a great figure and would've been perfect for Steeljaw and Ravage.

Still torn on these guys. The Target Masters that came with SCOOP back in the Generations Line are still in a tote somewhere, so not sure if I will (pardon the pun) pull the trigger on these.

Yes, but the likes of Bludgeon mean more to me than Blowpipe.

not too bad of a price and free shipping
NemiMonkey
Yeah thought of that first, but there aren't any even remotely close to me. I'd literally have to travel out of state to get to one.

Yeeaaah Hasbro.
When are Quintessons getting some love?
Fenrys
start hitting up ollies, you might be able to get him for cheap
NemiMonkey
OH boy I need to get Blowpipe….and…..um TR Triggerhappy. Really should get to that.

Knees would've been nice…..

I’d question their playability since they have less articulation but each to their own. My current viewpoint is I’m not disappointed with these and I’m greatful we have them. I like you’re thoughts on customising though. And yeah it’ll be cool to have these guys covering the titans.
Digger
I don’t think so. It just seems to be based off the original blowpipe as much as the takara one is. The sculpt and articulation is pretty distinct.

I must admit, I was a little disappointed that these were not the legends versions but after thinking about it, I'm glad these are the way they are. Yes, the legends versions have the better paint and articulation but I feel the hasbro versions we are getting will be more fun to play with. If I did have the LG versions, they would probably just be set up on display. With the hasbro versions, I can see me getting multiples for customizing. The arms and legs look like they can easily pop off for a quick coat of spray paint or just a limb swap here and there. Also, it's probably not possible but with blowpipe having his gun piece separate in package, I'm hoping these barrels can be swapped with some of the prime masters cannons. I know my kids will love these little dudes as guns and easily transformed robots. I've got fort max and trypticon that with both be heavily populated with all the various titan/prime/battle masters!

Nice. I'll be sure to grap Blowpipe for my TR Triggerhappy.
I'm not quite fond of how the packaging puts the names on the sides though, I had to stare at it a bit to locate the toy's name.

I think Blowpipe\'s mold will be based on Legends Blowpipe.
Weebot the Robot
Well… uhh… you are entitled to your own opinion… and… although I will think of you less as a human being, I hope you have a good day and a wonderful life…
jk.
YoungPrime
I just checked my TR Trigerhappy and it's a shame that there's nowhere that this Blowpipe can fit on him in jet mode except for maybe a wing.
Chaos Muffin
Been hoping for some accessory weapon packs like Mega Bloks has been doing for Halo.
Lately Hasbro\'s been pretty good with the weapons tho.
Missed opportunity on some titan/prime
master Quintesson faces.
They went in feet, chests, cockpits, shields, hands, ….everywhere except for some egg shaped Quint bodies.
