The official Transformers Facebook account is bringing us a nice surprise with our first official images of the upcoming Generations Selects Leader Class Galactic Man Shockwave And Deluxe Class Lancer.

Our main reveal here is the gray repaint of Siege Shockwave which a homage to the old Radioshack exclusive “Galactic Man” (also know as “Shackwave” among fans) gray release of G1 Shockwave’s mold. We are sure many fans will be pleased with this release. Additionally, we also have our first official images of Lancer, which we had seen a few days ago.

According to the Facebook post, we will see these figures at San Diego Comic-Con next week! Check out the images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Once again, several Chinese online retailers bring us new reveals. This time we have a look at the packaging and one new stock image of the upcoming Transformers 35th Anniversary War for Cybertron: Siege Bluestreak.

Similar to the recently revealed Soundblaster box layout, this 35 Anniversary Bluestreak was briefly seen at Toyfair 2019, and we also had a look at the toy itself last month. Bluestreak is a direct repaint of Siege Prowl with 2 shoulder cannons.

We are still waiting for more information on the release and distribution of this toy, but you can see the mirrored images on this news post after the jump. Chime in your thoughts on the 2005 Boards!

Chinese onlime stores shopee.tw and goods.ruten.com.tw have added listings for a new Transformers 35th Anniversary Soundblaster showing a small image of the box layout.

We got a quick glimpse of this figure at Toyfair 2019. He was displayed (together with some other toys) for some hours at the event and then the display was removed. The box reveals a black repaint of the Siege Voyager Soudnwave mold. This name and deco is inspired in the new look of Soundwave after his death and rebirth in the Japanese G1 cartoon “The Headmasters”.

We are yet to see a clear shot of the toy itself, but you can check the mirrored images after the jump. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Via 杯麵宅品 YU’S HOBBY LAND Facebook we have some new in-hand images of the recently revealed Transformers Generations Select Lancer.

Lancer is a colorful repaint of Siege Greenlight with a new head. In case some of you may wonder where she’s coming from, Lancer was seen in a brief cameo as one of the Female Autobots in the classic G1 episode “The Searh Of Alpha Trion”.

We have some good shots at the robot mode and our first look at the alt mode. Lancer would be the last component of Orthia, the new Fembot combiner (together with Elita-1, Moonracer, Novastar and Greenlight).
