I'll be refreshing the Galactic Odyssey hub on Amazon in another half hour or so. I don't have the Autobot clones so I'd like to get ahold of the Biosfera pack.

So do you think we'll be getting a core class Megatron to match?

And yeah I don't care for that gorilla mode either on Primal. Robot mode looks great though. Will that Hades Megatron be deluxe or voyager?

BW Megatron is tempting, but at $53, may still be a pass...
Cyclonus looks so good overall, can’t wait to get him!!!
And surprisingly, I like the look of the Autobot Clone 2pack.
I’m hoping BW fans are happy. Most of those figs look good.
Personally, I’m looking forward to more SS86 figures.

We were supposed to be getting a core Megatron

In addition to official product images and other reveals from Hasbro PulseCon 2020, we took the liberty of making screen captures of the video panels to share with all of you in case you missed watching the actual video earlier today. The panel offers different official product looks of the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom products (as well as others) in addition to the products in-hand. During the Entertainment panel, the first War for Cybertron Earthrise trailer was shown which showed Bug-bite, Doubledealer, and the Conehead Seekers amongst others. Check out the highlights from the panel below and click on any of the images to view the full galleries. Admittedly, there's an excessive amount of images but there's a lot to see, especially with the in-hand shots. Enjoy!

Most do, but not all. That Primal's gorilla mode has some major issues.

I can't tell if Primal is wearing a gorilla fur kilt or his great ape butt is spun around to the wrong side a la Transmetal Megatron.

. . .

Also, has it been reported for the preorders on Hasbro's web page being up and active yet or have I scored another news credit. I just finished ordering the Prime Breakdown Jet Steve box.

I'm still anxiously waiting to see voyager Tigatron and Dinobot

Thoughts on the day/event:

Kingdom reveals were awesome. Beasts all rule, G1 guys interest me none.

Titan ark looks pretty neat in that artwork, I like what we're seeing so far!

The fact that Polar claw isn't happening despite being in that artwork is so sad, i got really hyped for him when I saw the art!

Clones re-release. Good for those that missed, but another I can pass on. Wonder why they had to skip planet #2.

Prime stuff was really neat. I pre-ordered both sets, those are steal prices! I already have breakdown, but it's worth getting a 2nd and getting the air vehicon to go with my car one. I really want a final battle Megatron, but if I could get a dark star saber with a 5mm handle, I would give it to this one and probably be happy honestly.

RED stuff is much cooler this time around. Cheetor is entirely redundant, his Kingdom release looks better and can transform. Arcee will be my first RED, that is how you do it right there!

Glad Knockout got into the hall of fame, he is so worth it, he deserves the love he gets.

Lynx is a great toy, I voted for him. He deserved it.

SS was a let down with no reveals, but those will come.

With all the orders and stuff, my Pulsecon haul includes: Pit of Judgement, Breakdown/Vehicon, Hades Megatron, Marvel Legends Silk, Black Series Armorer, and a set of 3 stands. i think this was a productive weekend.

Preorders for all that was revealed at PulseCon 2020 are up at your favourite online retailers for the mainline toys. The exclusives are also up but of course it's from specific retailers so we wanted to let you know and share those links just in case.

Both the Prime 10th Anniversary packs are available here: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/has ... exclusives

RED Prime Arcee can be preordered here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Only-At-Walm ... /654239852

RED Cheetor can be preordered here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Only-At-Walm ... /674026372

Got Breakdown and Vehicon preordered. Don't carw about Megatron Darkness, er, "Hades Megatron".

Of all the Takara-only Prime Megatrons to choose from, they had to go and pick the ugliest, most gaudy one of them all.

Final Battle Megatron would have been more ideal.

Sabrblade wrote:Final Battle Megatron would have been more ideal.

Agreed. that's the one I most want

So is this the version of Breakdown that has Silas's head inside of it?

Rodimus Knight wrote:So is this the version of Breakdown that has Silas's head inside of it?

Nope, that's "Silas Breakdown", this is normal Breakdown.

Rodimus Knight wrote:So is this the version of Breakdown that has Silas's head inside of it?

That is a good question, but we might not know until somebody has this release to check the chest.

We do know. This is a straight rerelease of the original AM Brakdown toy so there won't be a Silas. Also, I gave you a news credit on this news since you asked in the other thread

This would have been an AMAZING opportunity to give us something we never got: an actual accurate Megatron figure. Somethng we never got. This AM 31 is really not good (the pics make his face seem bearable, but it isn't people buying it not knowing more about this toy will be dissapointed, it does not fit well within a collection). I only own it because I got it for that price at the time and that was a deal too good to pass up (at the time). The Hasbro version was a totally wrong pale deco and while the Final Battle one has the best deco for the voyager size, it does have that differently coloured arm which only fits with a specific part of the show.

Thank you!
My internet has been acting very weird on posting and commenting the last few days, sometimes things don't go through.

This redeco make no sense.

In general,i find his epaulettes too high,the sharkticon version don't help.

Surprised to see you post this, Sabrblade. Personally, I'm very excited about Hades Megatron, even though I have the Arms Micron version. It's been long enough that an excusse to buy that amazing toy again is AOK with me. It's one of the best TFP Megatron toys ever ... and much better than the final battle version that has the replaced right arm (if I'm remembering correctly).

I'm also aware of the fragility of the bat Micron, so hoping Hasbro gets the translucent plastic right with their version so that it's not so fragile. Hasbro Transformers products seem to have a better track record with translucent plastic than Takara Tomy's do.

When they revealed the Autobot Clones for Part 3 of the Space Odyssey subline, I thought they said it was an "all new" deco, as opposed to the Takara Legends release (and ostensibly the original Hasbro release in Titans Return). However, these decoes seem to be exactly the same as the first Hasbro releases. Am I wrong?

Been saying for ages it's going to take a lot to top the originals.

I don't see that happening this time.

Polarclaw!
Airrazor!
Waspinator!
Tracks!
Huffer!
Rhinox!
BIG A$$ ARK!!!!

Did you see that Optimus Primal?
So sweet!!!

But who us that turquoise and Aqua guy in the left-hand corner?
Joyride?

I'm so frikkin excited!
(I think I leaked a little transmission fluid)

Polar claw isn't happening apparently.
Oh the guy in the corner appears to be Gears, however he's also rumoured to have been cut.

For me the most important reveal is that Peter Cullen has on his wall a picture of himself pulling his shirt open to reveal the chest of Optimus Prime, done in the style of a Clark Kent to Superman costume change. I've been seeing that image on the internet for years, always wondering what he thought of it. Now we know, and knowing is half the battle - or so I'm told.

The First Edition Deluxe was the better mold. Just needed to be sized up a la Energon Megatron/Galvatron vs. Super Link Galvatron/Galvatron G.

But instead, Hasbro made an all new mold as a Voyager and gave it a very not-silver pale deco, while Takara then made it even tackier by giving it a dark gray that Prime Megatron does not have at all and covering its body and face with mirrors.

Final Battle Megatron had the best deco of any Prime Megatron toy, minus the pink-painted arm but which was the point of that figure representing Megatron wearing the dead Prime arm he wore in the latter half of Season 2.
