Via Screenrant we have our first look at four new War for Cybertron Siege figures. Two of these were long rumored, the other two are pleasant surpries.
First up we have a confirmed rumor; Leader class Astrotrain! He’s got both his original shuttle and locomotive modes and looks very close to the Generation 1 original. In fact, this is possibly the best looking of the three modern Astrotrains. He comes with two JF-50 Ionic Displacer Blasters, the JF-30 Astro Blaster, the W-15 Destabilizer Cannon, and the W-40 Turbo-Core Derailer. All five accessories can combine to form the Omni-Force Orbital Cannon.
Next we have the rumored Voyager class Apeface. Like Astrotrain Apeface is a triple changer with both his original alternate modes – his cybernetic ape mode and also his spaceship mode. While not shown in these images, Screenrant reports that Apeface will also have his Headmaster companion Spasma in this new version. Accessories include the SA Sonic Boom Blaster and EM Electro Shield.
Third in this series of reveals is Spinister. Spinister is based very closely on his original 1988 toy, and includes two guns: the NFM Dual-Fusion Cannon and a Spin-Blast Particle Beam Cannon. Fans of the Scavengers from the More Than Meets the Eye comic series will be happy to add this one to the shelves.
Lastly, we have Crosshairs. Crosshairs was one of the Autobots Targetmasters released in 1987, and a character that many of us have been hoping for since Titans Return gave us updates of the Decepticon Targetmasters. Crosshairs is a remolded version of Siege Ironhide, with a robot mode that nicely resembles the original Generation 1 toy design, but due to the mold reuse has traded his original buggy alternate mode for a truck.
Update: HQ Images added to the gallery
All these figures are expected for release on December 1st 2019. Check out the official images of all four of these reveals attached to this post.

You're thinking of wingman. That's what every Aerialbot has.

Looks like Pulse has started shipping out Crosshairs and Spinister orders. Got my notifications this morning. I expect Apeface should be shipping soon for people as well, if not already.

Love the look of this lad, just wish he was a head taller than the average Voyager, still doesn\'t detract much from him though, I\'m just glad Hasbro is giving us a decent Astrotrain so soon.

If possible, would someone please post some pictures of Gravity Builder's main gun/platform in various configurations with Astrotrain's battle platform? Thanks for your time.

Tender (rail) – Wikipedia
Always annoyed me that Astrotrain didn't have one
breaux man

So in your opinion can you elaborate as to why it is Transportation Captain wins …….because I am not really seeing that. I was wondering if I was perhaps missing something …….I mean I truly believe after this comparison pick that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but after reading the comments it's either that, or objectivity doesn't exist and loyalty reigns supreme ……..what are you thoughts on this?

Sorry wasn't trying to pick on you. Just happened to be a handy example.

Maybe they see that it's the back car of Astrotrain's train (of just 2 pieces) and just say the first thing that comes to mind?
Also, I just want to interject and say that when I read the thread title really fast/at a glance I keep reading "Siege Astroface, Apetrain" etc and imagining a train full of gorillas.
Please carry on otherwise.

In my defense, I had a brain fart moment. So I just called it that.

Minus the clunky looking back section of the shuttle mode. I’m super loving this. That train and robot mode is ace in my book.

Scale.
Scale.
Expect canonically big dudes(in bot mode) like Broadside, Thunderwing and Lugnut in that class.
Hear hear.
