Thanks to Amazon Japan, we now have the reveals for Takara’s Premium Finish PF WFC-03 War for Cybertron Ultra Magnus and PF SS-03 Studio Series Megatron.
Both items are redecos of their previous releases done up in more detailed paintjobs, with both having more intricate battle damage and worn looks applied to them. As has been the case with this line, neither look to have had any new tooling done to them.
Check out the images after the jump and let us know if you’re interested on the boards!

Well, he’s wrong about Springer being in the line and the line has nothing to do with Sunbow either. So definitely taking that with a grain of salt. Only two more waves to go so it’d be pretty strange to throw in the towel now.

It's not cancelled. It was just slated for a very limited number of releases.

Where is everyone hearing the line is canceled? Was hoping for a Bayverse Prime. To my dying breath I will never understand why they clogged up slots with shelf warmers like Magnus. They just keep churning out repaints of the guy over and over again clogging up clearance.

One might say, "oldy and moldy"?

This joke is really getting old..

The reveal image for the PF line had pics of the future figures in black silhouettes, the last two (hopefully) being 07 Prime and Jetfire when brighting up the image.

Ah well, it was terrible while it lasted…
Indeed, the concept itself is a good one, it was just executed very poorly. I can think off the top of my head at least a dozen figures that the fans have been clamoring for a 'better/more accurate' repaint of, and yet, HasTak chose some of the most pointless figures to put into the line. The prices didn't help either…
Megatronus
Chiming in here to say I also hope the line isn’t canceled. I’ve bought every PF Movie release so far and they’ve all been tremendous improvements over their retail counterparts. PF feels, to me, like what their Takara versions would’ve been; I welcome them like I’d welcome an old friend whose parent (brand unification) decided we shouldn’t play together anymore.
Since the silhouettes were revealed, my most anticipated releases have been ROTF Prime and Jetfire. Can’t wait to see what those excellently-detailed figures will look like with the PF treatment! I know it’s a long shot, but here’s hoping they bust out the as of yet unused maskless head for Optimus.

I saw no mold on Optimus prime toy don’t know what your talking about
this megatron figure looks good very shiny silver paint job

I hope to god the line isn’t canceled because Movie Trilogy Optimus is coming next, and that mold getting a rerelease would not only offer the figure for a cheaper price then the aftermarket, but also hopefully disrupt his current absurd after market prices.

That's cool, cause I'm curious to see Wheeljack mainly due to I like how much more green is on him in robot mode. I feel the ER figure is lacking that green in robot mode (mainly the piece that is black should be green).

Also I need to get PF BBM Prime at some point (since I sold off my custom months ago).

As far as I can tell the line appears to be selling well, so I’m not sure why it would be cancelled. They haven’t hit US-based retailers yet but a quick search on Amiami and HLJ shows most of the releases so far are sold out. Personally I’m a fan of the line and really love the ones that I’ve bought (all except Magnus). Very excited to see Shockwave!
lord ginrai
Not sure it’s true. Ratchet is delayed by 2 months, so that may be the reason we haven’t seen official pics of the final 2 waves yet. Starscream is due in a week and a half.
I’d be surprised if it was cancelled this close to the finish line.
Also, Springer isn’t part of the WFC lineup. The final figures are Shockwave and Wheeljack. And like the rest of the line, they would be colored to best match the WFC cartoon, not Sunbow.
TF Hot Rod
I does kind of suck if true cause as much problems as PF has as a line. I feel there is still stuff that can be done in it like for some of the BW's characters like Dinobot or just characters who lack paint
