The official Transformers instagram account has updated their stories and revealed a handful of upcoming Target Exclusives set for the Fall. First up, and widely already deduced, is the Siege Rainmakers three pack. This three pack has already been showing up in stores, so be sure to keep an eye out for it if you want to bolster your seeker army. Speaking of seekers, they have given us our first look at Slipstream! Slipstream will be getting a Warrior class figure in the Cyberverse line as one of these Target Exclusives. Finally, the Elite Class Spark Armor Cheetor (who has armor that transformers from a battleship) is confirmed as a Target exclusive as well.

You can check out screenshots of these reveals after the break.

Planet Iacon on Facebook has shared pics of a pair of Studio Series for our enjoyment today. First up is SS-46 Studio Series Dropkick. The second version of the character in the Studio Series line. However, this version gives us a more onscreen faithful look as well as his muscle-car alternate mode. The pics included show various angles in both modes, but no comparison shots. Second, we have SS-35 Leader Class Dark Of The Moon Optimus Prime. This release is the previous use of the Optimus Prime mold, which was released as a voyager. Now, it’s coming packaged in the leader class assortment but includes his trailer. The trailer turns into his flight gear and his weapons ring platform. You can check out all the image after the break.

Over the course of the last week, we’ve received a couple of tidbits on the 2005 Boards about upcoming Transformers Generations – War For Cybertron:Siege potential products. Before we  get into the lists, let us provide the caveat that today one of these rumors turned out to be true. Second, the information comes from reliable members of the boards whose information has been true in the past.

  • Cybertron Defense Hot Shot – repaint of Hound with new headsculpt. First seen and rumored back in July of last year on Siege Hound’s box.
  • Refraktor Three pack – A three pack of Refraktor in Generation one toy colors. Special packaging that will resemble a digital camera box.
  • “Hasbro Pulse” Nightbird – Repaint of Chromia with new headsculpt. The listing as “Hasbro Pulse” may indicate this as a Generations Selects figure.
  • Deluxe Powerdasher – Repaint of Brunt with new headsculpt.
  • Deluxe Decepticon Impactor – Different paint deco from the Wave 4 release of the figure
  • Micromaster 10-pack
  • Leader Shockwave in Galactic Man deco, black Shockwave aka “Shackwave”. Revealed today.

Next up on our list of rumors are a couple of tidbits from Catz. According to him, SDCC will reveal to us the following:

  • the name of the next line of figures in the Generations War For Cybertron line.
  • New Titan Class figure revealed.
  • New Commander Class reveal
  • New Leader Class reveal. This is hinted to be a car or armored car.

Well, it took awhile, but we finally have our first look at what this team looks like in their intended combined form! Last year, we saw the release of Voyager Elita-1, along with Deluxes Nova-star and Moonracer, in the Power of the Primes Generations line. After the line concluded, fans were left wondering what happened to the other two limb components? Thanks to the Amazon exclusive release of Greenlight and the upcoming Generations Select release of Lancer, we finally get to see the combined mode of all five female Autobots – Orthia! These images come courtesy of the Gen Zero Facebook group. Also shown are comparison shots of the whole team together in vehicle and robot mode. The team looks great together, showing off a variety of color. There’s even an additional photo of the group with Siege Chromia (whose mold uses similar engineering sans a combiner port).

Update: Even more images thanks toたごーる (@tagoal) on Twitter

Following up on our story yesterday which revealed some stock images for the upcoming Siege Bluestreak, we now have more, very clear images of the upcoming figures. These images come from an ebay page and show clearly how well this mold suits the character. As revealed yesterday, you can see the packaging gets a slight tweak and is branded with a big bad “35” on the side. No word just yet on how this figure will be released – whether it’ll be a major retail release or online exclusive. But keep it here and we’ll update as more information becomes available.

Yesterday, we reported on some new in-hand images of the upcoming wave 2 Voyager Siege Starscream and Soundwave. Well, the original blog has updated with some additional images and a pair of them seem to show off that Soundwave has a tape-deck mode. Now, keep in mind, this could be just a way of “Fan-moding” the figure into a rectangle. There is no confirmation that he tabs together for this mode. That being said, this very well could have been intentional, but omitted from the figure’s instruction sheet (such as Shockwave’s Shockfleet-pod). This figure is due for release soon, so we’ll find out soon enough if this is true. But regardless, fans can be excited that this figure seemingly has four modes they can transform him into; robot, space ship, space lamp, and tape deck.

A trio of listing from CMDstore.ca has shed some light on some potential future Siege listings. First off, we have a new listing in the form of a Voyager Apeface. This is a very exciting possibility as it gives us another Headmaster from the Titans Return days to finish off our collections of Decepticon Headmasters. The Siege line has also recently revealed another triple-changer in the line via Springer. So, introducing another triple-changer doesn’t seem too far out of the realm of possibility. Lastly, we were recently shown that Commander Jetfire’s cockpit can fit Titan Master figures. So, reintroducing this feature seems like a good time to coincide with Jetfire’s release. Speaking of Triple-Changers, we recently posted a rumor about a leader class Astrotrain. This site also lists the figure, reinforcing the legitimacy of the rumor. Lastly, CMDstore also lists Deluxe Siege Barricade (which we’re assuming is a reuse of Siege Prowl) as being a part of Wave 4, who will also include Mirage and Impactor. Siege Wave 4 is expected to be released in early October according to Hasbro and our various sponsors.

Only one image of each are shown thus far. Specifically, Springer is only shown here in helicopter mode.

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!
