Ultimates! Series Optimus Prime test shots have arrived. These figures are amazing. We’ve still got a ways to go in the process, but this figure is great. Plus, he’s got an ill crossover! The test shots are sent in material and mold changes with corresponding colors. In this case the black is ABS, the being is PVC, the medium gray is a different PVC durometer, the charcoal gray is a nylon blend. There is still a lot of work on the finesse of these figures, but, we are getting very close!

I read too quickly and thought it said that it'd be delayed from March until the New Year, as in Jan 2023…
Feb/March '22 doesn't sound too bad at all!
DukeFett
He gave an update in the video too on them, I think he said Wave 4 is nice and on track, but Wave 2 (at a different factory) may be coming in on the wire before CNY.

+1, these aren't what were shown before. Plastic colors (and textures! blows my mind there's like a half dozen different types in these!) are different from the gray-copy models from earlier in the year.
Hoping for a Wave 3 reveal soon, then we get into unknown territory for a potential Wave 4…

March ETA has been known for a while. What I'm relieved with is that they are not being delayed anymore (so far).
I have more concern about the Thundercats actually.
DukeFett
Just to clarify these are test shots from the production factory in final plastic and not just the grey prototypes.
Black Convoy
Let me check if we haven't seen those prototypes before. Thanks for the heads up!
Those prototypes we already shown. Now we get a closer look though.

March?!?
Well f*ck….

@Black Convoy – News??

Very nice and thank for sharing it…

In an interview with The Fwoosh mostly about the Ultimates Party Van, Brian Flynn showed off some test shots from Transformers Ultimates Wave 1. The link should go to the TF talk time, around 53 minutes in. He goes through a lot of the nuts and bolts of making them and is kind of interesting. Like Banzai-Tron has 7 different types of plastic in it.
He said Transformers Wave 1 originally scheduled for March, it's on or ahead of schedule but probably won't ship before CNY.

Some excellent frickin idea here! Slizardo and skuxxoid two pack! Josh mentioned Orion pax in that fwoosh vid – I could totally see that happening. Given alligatorcon as a marker, I wonder how deep they’d get? I’d love some of the ancient generics from the toon (eg cosmic rust guy etc), though that’s probably too far. I could see night bird at some point. And if they did the human toon characters, maybe ginrai or metalhawk? Again, maybe too far.
Would be great to get some idw comic only chars following tarn too – Aerleion, barbarian galvy, nickel etc.
But yeah, UK comics chars would be amazing. Much as I like Xaaron, his design is maybe not the most interesting for toy form though? Make him metallic painted perhaps? I could see a blaster coming with a marvel head and scrounge. But if they were going really deep I’d love Flame, or impactor with zombie swap out parts. Centurion? Or (I mean, never gonna happen, but I’d love it) megadeath?! Big red?! Weird gears from ‘there shall come a leader’? The man of iron’ bot?! I’d love all that. And happily take weird comic repaints of gold Megatron/purple soundwave etc… ok gonna stop here as I’m starting to froth at the mouth.

Gotta echo the calls for devcon with slizardo.
OptimusTimelord
How have I never seen that Scrounge before?! Actually not a bad attempt.
Fused Megs/Ratchet is a great suggestion btw. For me a line like this should really play to their strengths, which is non-transforming characters of all kinds, of which there are plenty!
I'd totally forgotten about Impactor, although he's obviously the Netflix show version (which raises the question of who decided to bring that character back, the tv writers or Hasbro?). But at least it proves they can do it when they want, which is nice to know. Heck, if there were actual accurate transforming mainline toys of guys like Straxus and even Xaaron I'd much rather have those than just action figure versions.
Which brings us back round to Pretenders, Action Masters etc I guess.
Girl Pants
I think it's just a popularity/obscurity thing. Impactor gets toys without issue, and there was the Straxus(Darkmount) and Scrounge. I believe there's a Straxus rumored for the upcoming line too. We also got Nightstalker in MP, and he was from a art contest in Marvel.
Hasbro's current focus is very much still on US cartoon G1, but we get bits here and there. Diaclone and G2 homages are pretty easy to do as they still use the same bodies while comics-original characters would need remolding at minimum and whole new molds ideally. That said, starting with Kingdom and going into the next line, we're getting more and more non-US cartoon G1 stuff, so I wouldn't be shocked if they happen eventually.

For all the characters, I imagine they would be correct the scale for some toys but not in scale with some other toys. You just have to find which toys they are in scale with.

Hasbro did release a repainted thrilling 30 Cosmos as Scrounge in the Combiner Wars Computron set.

I would also like Super7 to make some Marvel comic characters: fused Megatron/Ratchet, Xaaron, Hook, Line, Sinker, Scrounge, etc.
OptimusTimelord
This brings up an interesting question about some of the figures I most want to see. I get that Death's Head is a Marvel character (IIRC he first appeared in a non-TF strip precisely to block Hasbro from claiming rights), so indeed it seems that if we're going to get him it will be through Marvel (not holding my breath there).
But it does also seem as if comic-only characters like Scrounge, Straxus and Xaaron have been conspicuous by their absence from toylines over the years (closest we've had was Darkmount I think? An oblique homage at best). Is there some actual reason for this, such as legal complications or a general wish not to tread on Marvel's toes?
Someone please prove me wrong and make a Xaaron!!
Wh33ls
Yeah, I just realized what I posted.
Hopefully Marvel Legends does him, and hopefully he's a larger figure.
