All four figures look great and we are sure they will please both Beast Wars and G1 collectors. Get ready for more reveals at the Transformers Saturday Toy Panel at Hasbro PulseCon! Pre-orders begin on 09/26/2020 at 5:00pm ET on Hasbro Pulse.

From Hasbro: “The WFC-K2 Core Class RATTRAP collectible figure stands at 3.5 inches tall and converts to Beast Wars-inspired rat mode with molded fur texture in 18 steps. RATTRAP comes with classic Fusion blaster accessory inspired by the one featured in the Beast Wars cartoon. Wise cracks not included, but you can imagine! The mini-figure allows fans to collect a mini version of the iconic character to pose out with other RATTRAP toys at larger scales (each sold separately, subject to availability)!
From Hasbro: “The WFC-K4 Deluxe CHEETOR collectible figure stands at 5.5 inches tall, converts to Beast Wars-inspired cheetah mode in 20 steps with intricate cheetah-inspired molded fur texture, and features lower jaw articulation in cheetah mode for classic look of CHEETOR enthusiasm. CHEETOR’s tail also detaches from cheetah mode during conversion and becomes a tail whip accessory that can be held by the figure in robot mode. CHEETOR includes a Golden Disk card that reveals a possible destiny of a key character. Collect other KINGDOM figures to reveal all 3 alternate destiny variants for each character (each sold separately, subject to availability)!”
From Hasbro: “The WFC-K9 Voyager CYCLONUS G1-inspired figure stands at 7 inches tall, converts into Cybertronian fighter craft mode in 34 steps, and comes with the classic Oxidating Laser accessory. CYCLONUS, a herald of UNICRON, first appears in the 1986 movie when BOMBSHELL/SKYWARP were reformatted into the second-in-command of GALVATRON. CYCLONUS includes a Golden Disk card that reveals a possible destiny of a key character. Collect other KINGDOM figures to reveal all 3 alternate destiny variants for each character (each sold separately, subject to availability)!

Kingdom Cyclonus would be perfect ,for jet mode and also how chest is accurate to toon besides bunny ears are always them for others amusement,poor him
!
But is true that Cyclonus toys have always had a gloomy and often,just as in Kingdom,humanoid face but for me real Cyclonus is the one of Webworld ,with face very similar to Galvatron and no goatee because for any beard there is already Scourge.
In this case I'll buy bot at the end because is too much an improvement of CW version and sadly I'm forced to accept that about him,face designed by toy designers isn't meant to be similar to Megatron or Galvatron as instead I'd like.

I can't imagine something better than the last rhinox, not even a masterpiece. They will have to put a lot of effort on it to impress me, the only issues of the last one were the rhino head design (mostly, its mouth) and the rhino butt transformation.
But rhinox is not even close important as dinobot. I NEED A REALISTIC VELOCIRAPTOR TRANSFORMER RIGHT NOW DAMMIT.
SoundwaveSuperior
Yes, there will be a Voyager-class Rhinox in Kingdom.

Will we get Rhinox?

I'm sure Hasbro's been elbowing Universal for a T-Wrecks and and as of yet unnamed Hound retool two pack, much to Mattel's annoyance.

Ok, maybe this thread is the wrong place to say that, but am i the only one who's planning to get an extra megs just to repaint it as a JP t-rex? This is literally the most accurate t-rex design we ever got.
I made a comparison with a prime 1 studio statue (seems to be the most accurate to the movie), there are some differences on megs (shorter tail, different shape for the teeth and weird lips) but they are pretty close, so…

Ah. You are correct.
I'm sure you'll agree though, there is a significant discrepancy in the apparent length of the alt-mode between the two images – so you can see where one might be misled into believing there was a mis-transformation somewhere.
The factor I didn't take into account was foreshortening. In the image on the right there is significant perspective distortion. Compare;
View attachment 28796332
The red lines indicate the foreshortening. There is so much perspective distortion occurring (due to the viewing angle/type of lens used) that the top of the section indicated by the upper green line on the left image falls well below the top of the same section in the image on the right.
Still, despite a minor gaffe on my part, the outcome (and my enthusiasm!) remains the same; that initial leaked image of the uncoloured test shot was misleading, and not representative of the alt-mode's excellent proportions.

I'm hoping Jazz is in SS86 due to the cost associated with Hasbro getting the Porsche license for alt mode. Similar to how all the SS figures have additional budget costs to pay fees to the movie designers and Michael Bay.

Insert "The Office" they're-the-same-picture meme.
Because they are the same. Count the seams. Above the tip of the cockpit window, in both pictures, you have
-Blue ears segment
-Blue and silver paint segment
-Silver paint only segment
-Spike tip
Or is the argument that something else is different instead?

It’s like when the had generations figures spread across generations and reveal the shield
John TheDestroyer
Maybe they did
It is a little odd and haphazard, but at least we're getting all of the characters. The could have just picked some random ones to stick in Wfc and said eff the rest. But they decided to split the characters across two lines that way we could get more of them
Alph
Still feels really haphazard though. Like, Jazz goes in the TFTM dedicated line but not most of the characters that actually debuted and starred in TFTM? Scourge goes in the the TFTM line but not Galvatron and Cyclonus? It's like they threw darts with a blindfold on.

Agree with the goatie etc, the lack of that is. But easily remedied with any scrap Reprolable decal colored dark gray or black. I also gave my G1 Wreck-Gar his own red colored facial hairs using decal scraps.
Shatterpoint
I know he's only really been shown next to the smaller figures directly but Cyclonus looks really BIG for a Voyager. I'm really curious how tall he actually is.
Fenrys
Honestly, I wouldn't expect any of the WFC guys to get do overs in SS, otherwise what is the point of doing dead prime and the pit of judgement (both of which are specifically tied to the movie) in WFC rather than SS. SS86 pretty much just exists to plug holes in WFC
THE-TRANSFORMER
True, I just assumed we'd get another springer in a couple years after they did the rest of the cast in SS.
Didn't know about Magnus and Rodimus being in Kingdom (falling behind on my news).
Thanks again for the info.
It's getting less and less likely that We get a Sureshot or Slapdash now
AutobotAvalanche
Wish he had the soulpatch, now that I think about it it's a low-key facial hair connection to Scourge. And it just looks pretty good for the design.
Fenrys
Not really. Springer was Siege, Arcee is Earthrise/Kingdom, Ultra Magnus is Siege/Kingdom, Rodimus Prime is Kingdom. There’s already precedent for 86 guys in WFC
Yoshimon7
Don’t forget Earthmode ultra Magnus is also Kingdom.
