under Generations / Classics

New images are dropping ahead of Toyfair this weekend. Courtesy of Brickseek, we have our first look at Voyager Springer and Thundercracker  and new images of the previously revealed Deluxe Red Alert and Leader Class “Galaxy Upgrade” Optimus Prime. Only one image of each are shown thus far. Specifically, Springer is only shown here in helicopter mode.

Check out the images after the jump and stay tuned for more reveals during our Toyfair coverage this weekend!

Update 02/15/2019 2:45am EST: Thanks to 2005 Boards Member Jtprime17, Sweaty Ruxpin of Twitter; who did some digging on the Brickseek website, we now have even more images of the aforementioned toys. You can check them out, after the jump.

Take this with a grain of salt for the moment, but with Toyfair happening this weekend we should have confirmation one way or the other. Thanks to some detective work from 2005 Boardmember jtprime17 via the site Southernhobby, we have a listing for a Leader Class Astrotrain figure. This would be a part of third wave of Siege Leader class figures.

Is it too soon for another Generations Astrotrain figure? What potential repaints/reuses could come from this? Can Siege Starscream throw Megatron out of the side of him to lighten the load on the way back to Cybertron? Sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Weeks back designer Rick Akker showed off his design for an IDW Fortress Maximus. Weeks later, Mastermind Creations (via their site Planet Steel Express) announced that they have partnered with Rick to bring this design to life via a crowdfund campaign. This figure, should it reach it’s goal, will stand at 11 inches tall (to go toe to toe with MMC’s Overlord), have his signature patented leg-guns and will transform into a tank like his comic book inspiration. Crowdfunding is taking place now and Mastermind Creations’ intent is to release the figure in February of next year.

The official Takara twitter page has tweeted out the first image of their booth from Wonderfest 2019. Wonderfest is happening this weekend, so more images will surely be rolling in. But, to kick things off, this image gives us our very first look at the recently announced new Masterpiece G1 Bumblebee! This Bumblebee looks like it’s going to reflect the Generation 1 Sunbow animation model very well and the alternate mode is very chibi looking.

Additionally, from what we can see in the display, there appears to be some new Takara LGEX figures incoming. Right above a display of Big Powered are two grey prototypes. Rumors incoming from people on site are saying this is a Star Convoy or possible Star Saber with an Armada Optimus Prime. Take that information with a grain of salt for the moment. We will have more information on these releases as Wonderfest kicks off and images start to come in.

For now, check out the images after the jump!

Autobase Aichi rounds off a week of reviews with the latest wave of deluxe Generations Siege figures by saving one of the most anticipated for last; Ironhide! The rough and tough Autobot is shown here in robot and vehicle mode. We we also get an idea how he scales in the line compared to his wave-mate, Prowl. Ironhide is looking pretty large for a deluxe. So don’t let the deluxe packaging fool you. Ironhide appears ready to stare down some of the biggest Decepticons this side of Iacon. Also shown is Ironhide with added weaponizer armor comprised of weapon components from Wave 2’s Six Gun.

You can view all the images, as well as a video review, after the jump. Check out our Generations news category to view the other in-hand images of Wave 2 Deluxe Siege figures as well as the rumored exclusive, Greenlight.

Thanks again to Autobase Aichi for our second set of in-hand images from the wave 2 deluxes of Siege. This time, it’s the Autobot Military strategist himself, Prowl. Prowl is shown here in both robot mode as well as his super-cool Cybertronian Blade Runner-esque super sleek police car mode. Hopefully, we’ll see one or both of his Fairlady brothers from this figure either in the main Siege line or as an exclusive. This mold is also rumored to be re-purposed as our first iteration of Barricade in the Siege line later this year. Prowl is due out in February according to some on-line retailers and the rest of the wave 2 assortment will feature Ironhide, Chromia and Six-gun.

Thanks to Autobotbase Aichi for our first in-hand look at the upcoming Generations War For Cybertron: Siege figure, Chromia! This is figure is a reuse of the Power of The Primes Moonracer mold with a lot of new tooling. She also has a little less than Moonracer! As previously reported, she is missing the combiner port but now features additional detail and weapons. We get a decent look at this figure in robot and vehicle mode as well as a comparison with Thrilling 30 Arcee. Chromia is due out as early February according to some online retailers. Her wavemates will all be Autobots including; Ironhide, Prowl and Six-gun.

The Siege begins! The latest iteration of the ever-popular Generations line, War For Cybertron:Siege, has started to show up at US retail. 2005 board member GiganGoji has found Firedrive at his local Target in Washington. Firedrive, Blowpipe and Lionizer make up the first wave of Battle Masters which are the new $5.99 price point for the line. Each Battle Master turns into a weapon for a larger Transformer to wield and come with effect parts.

Takara-Tomy Mall has updated with official photos of their recently revealed Big Powered Legends Exclusive. This exclusive three pack features three Zone inspired remolds from the Titans Return line. Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber and Road Fire are reuses of Overlord/Sky Shadow, Misfire and Twin Twist with additional parts and remolding. The three figures combine into one massive Decepticon crushing vehicle. Each figure also features a base mode for additional playability with their Titan Master partners.

Big Powered is scheduled for release in March of 2019 and will run 15,000 yen. According to a fast Google translation, if this set does not get a minimum number of pre-orders it may be cancelled, but we are sure this won’t be the case. You can check out all of these exciting, in depth images after the jump!
