Possible War For Cybertron Character Vote For 2020

under Generations / Classics

We have a very nice surprise to share with you. The Official Transformers Weibo Account has uploaded an image about a Possible War For Cybertron Character Vote For 2020.

A rough Google translation of the text attached to the picture indicates that they are inviting Weibo users to identify who the four characters on the image are. Later, an image revealing all characters will be posted, and Weibo followers will have the opportunity to decide which character will appear in 2020 for the War For Cybertron line.

The images shows four silhouettes that are not so hard to identify. We can spot: Gnaw, Runabout/Runamuck, Needlenose and Shrapnel. Taking in consideration that Gnaw and Shrapnel already got recent updated molds, it could be possible to bet on new Runabout/Runamuck molds (they were exclusive to the Transformers collectors Club in 2012) or a new Neeedlenose figure (The Combiner Wars Needlenose was just a redeco of CW Firefly and exclusive to the Figure Subscription Service). Time to place your bets.

Update: The original picture was taken down from the Official Transformers Weibo Account

Remember to take it with a grain of salt until we get another proper translation or official confirmation via other Hasbro channels. Click on the bar to see the mirrored image and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

It could still happen… Punch/Counterpunch itself wasn't all that long ago at all….

And if Needlenose has a chance of being paired with his Targetmaster in the next chapter there's nothing stopping Pointblank from joining him.

Also, the CW Onslaught mold was first released in 2015. Here we are 4 years later and they've retooled it into Ecto-1.

When a Pointblank never materialized from the Punch Counterpunch I gave up on remold speculation.

I can still see Sureshot from Mirage. All they would need to do is retool the faux chestpiece…probably the reason it's faux in the first place.

Having said that, the redecos have been fantastic.

Also, I’m ready for Needlenose. Can’t wait to see the mold.

I would much rather see a deluxe tetrajet design… hopefully a Dogfight remold.

I'd much rather they do Needlenose with his traditional F-16 altmode or an approximation.

its not really that different from selling greenlight and dazzlestrike for $25

Right. And if they sell Lancer it'll likely be similar.

The only thing that'll change if something like that happens at retail is we'll probably see it get closer to $20 by using the smaller Siege molds and not including as many accessories (Greenlight includes a Battlemaster, an attack effect, and a PotP fist)

Considering PotP and Siege haven't had traditional "leaders" for a while now…I could easily see them going further down that path and starting to introduce Deluxe and Voyager class figures that are a smaller dude with armor or extra accessories.

So Needlenose is in there as a Deluxe with his Targetmasters, but maybe another one is Bumblebee as a smaller figure with a partner based on his Action Master buddy.

Or Voyager Weaponizers mixed in with "traditional" figures.

that's awfully close to the T30 Legends pairings…..

And we know what happened there: they lost the companion the next year, the "size" stayed the same price and a price increase came in the back door!

They're not going to charge $20 for a Legends sized figure one "chapter" after charging $10.

And, like I said, it'd be only one type of Deluxe figure. The rest would be stuff like Needlenose. Or, heck, they sell Runamuck and Runabout as a pair.

Hmph. Still waiting for my deluxe class Sizzle, Hasbro.

I loved the Laser Rods, all four of them. I would be entirely behind redoing those characters.

Agreed. Deluxe is probably the best pricepoint for 'em.

I'm tired of waiting, so I'm making my own Backstreet, with blackjack, and hookers! out of CW Wheeljack and Offroad's head.

I used to have backstreet and windsweper as a kid. Love to have deluxe class updates of those!

I really hope they update the Triggercons at some point, maybe even make 'em a poll.

If that were the case, I think it might be best to split the remaining ark crew in half. For example,

Part 2
Bumblebee
Wheeljack
Sunsteaker
Cliffjumper
Brawn

Part 3
Jazz
Trailbreaker
Gears
Windcharger
Buffer

Then each part may add at least 4-5 more decepticons and 4-5 more random autobots.I

Yes!

The art here and in the card game for Needlenose look like the Starscream mold. Wouldn't mind if they just kind of did that and had Tetrajets being a "standard model" on Cybertron, so long as they throw in a little variety every now and again. I would kill for a Voyager Tetrajet Windblade, especially now with how she can get the drop on the 'Cons by looking like Red Wing.

I would much rather see a deluxe tetrajet design… hopefully a Dogfight remold.
