SDCC 2019 may have been and gone, but evidently Hasbro is still going to keep bringing on the cool stuff. Next up is Hong Kong’s ACG – and a video by ToysTV on Youtube gives us a look at Hasbro’s ACG 2019 display.
There are two cool new toys in the case – we’re getting the other two Powerdashers updated for the Siege line! As with Aragon aka Landdasher, the other two Powerdashers are retooled versions of Siege Weaponizers: Zetar (Drilldasher) is a retooled Brunt (and given that head, we anticipate the transformation may work a bit differently) and Cromar (Skydasher) is a retooled Sixgun.
We’re predicting that these two will be released in the Generations Selects line, given that they are shown as a part of the Generations Selects display alongside other known entries into that line like Lancer and Redwing.
We’ve added some screencaps to this story after the jump and you can also check out the video of the display below. The Powerdashers show up at the 1:12 mark – the minute before that is all about the Masterpiece line, and there is also some showcasing of other upcoming releases like the Takara-Tomy Generations Selects Star Convoy and a look at the Studio Series display.

Thank you UW Nosecone!
Something like:

(Nosecone's drill is loads fatter than the one here so the actual Powerdasher dill shouldn't push the toy off the floor like Nosecone's does)

So here's Brunt in Tank form, who I got this week:
The bar under the front has a 5mm peg underneath that can fold up, you can see it better in robotmode:
I think it's needed for Zetar to attach the drill to the front of the vehicle mode, which in turn must unpeg from the head….
So the drill is a hat!
I'll see if I can find a drill bit with a 5mm peg hole to test it with tomorrow. I know Micronauts Microtron has one but he's out of reach in the loft.

Cromar just looks plain weird. The drill was not put on right.
Thundershot
The faces are pretty darn accurate to the original toys.
SaintsIconsNemesis
one has a clown for a face and the other looks like a gobot, maybe they will look better toys in hand

Now why do I keep thinking of this skit when I see that drill!

I'm just hoping they get good molds. It's been a long wait, and I want them to be awesome.

I'm not quite that 'bored' of the 1984 characters – I tend to think of them as being from different TF universes – but it's nice to add other/'new' characters to the shelves.
Max Tower
Scorpulator would make a nice figure that breaks up into armour – the claws and tail and the core rifle body would work really well for that – perhaps more so than as a Battlemaster. Not that i'd dislike a Scorpion battlemaster either.
These guys are a nice breath of fresh air – I get so bored of the 1984 cast endlessly recycled especially when both lines are dong it at the same time. so I always welcome seeing someone more obscure or like the slicer said : "Is that someone new" as well.
I just hope these are not super hard to get.

Cromar was in MTMTE. The other two actually had to wait a couple years for that Ask Vector Prime thing to name em.
BB Shockwave
Oh didn'tknow GiG gave them names, nice. How did they get named in 2013 though?
Kaynowa
They had names since 2013. Just so rarely seen that they never got any time to USE them. And the names came from their Italian releases, so authentically B-Rated Sci-Fi
Max Tower
I would still welcome 3rd party pieces to add to the jet-dasher for the vehicle mode accuracy
T-Hybrid
The other car also looks a lot like Arcee.
It was likely an option they considered, much like the Demolishor head on Onslaught that never came out.
Bass X0
Because they had this planned?
MegaDolrailer
Good thing I didn't say they weren't coming then huh? must mean I'm paying attention
bearytrek
still wondering why they never got around to repainting that one component of Victorion to Nightbird…

I have no connection to the original Powerdashers. I don’t care for a Decepticon Impactor or a clear blue Mirage, so I can pass on Powerdasher Car.
I do think Brunt looks cool though even though I don’t have him yet. I like Sixgun, so I may well pick up Powerdasher Jet and Drill. I don’t need to have all three modern Powerdashers.
Evan Wellens
This is really cool, and I\'m sure people will buy them, but I\'m just not one of them.
To those who are buying them, good for you!
Predakwon
These are cool, but I'd only get these if that Aragon/racecar was packaged with these guys or available separately. I really don't want that Impactor and Mirage Box set.
