Alpha Trion can be seen sporting a lion head as a pauldron, which would seem to confirm that he does at least have a lion mode.

Reminds me of Leobreaker and Lio Convoy.

ugh, god no, that figure is easily the most disappointing piece of garbage that I've had the displeasure of paying for - worst combiner upgrade ever

I think you missed the point: He just newsed these and they are on the front page
Posted by RAR on February 1st, 2016 @ 11:45pm CST
I don't tend to look at it as it is very slow to be updated and so isn't a fast news source. beside the inability to comment on it and the patchy way it's linked to threads means it's just easier to skip it.
'No offence' intended to anyone spending time on editing it - but to me there is nothing there worth looking at - No need to look at galleries when I prefer videos and they are so hard to navigate anyway. since that seems the main focus of the page I simply have no reason to look except very infrequently and when I do look it's usually barely changed so sort of reinforcing the point that there is often nothing new to look at.
Besides lets be honest if you want up to date Transformers news you'd use Twitter or TFW2005 that is where a lot of the stuff on this place or Allspark comes from anyway.
Again no offence intended, and to make up for it I will say I prefer Seibertron's Show & Event coverage to TFW's and have always looked at that even before I had an posting account.

Yes the homepage, plus the side panel next to the comments.
But here is soundwave and alpha trion is up the last page

Probably not, but this is called savvy business practices

I do look at the side panels - that is usually what infrequently leads me to the front page on very rare occasions.
But the way the scrolling works the images don't always show in a place you see them as they are above or below the typing box.
Look like the grey image is similar to the blue fuzzy mess from the other day - so with both you get some of the detail and the colour at the same time.
Perhaps someone can make the colour one a transparency layer and over lay it on the grey scale image ?

I knew Soundwave was shown the other week it was the grey scale Image I was saying I'd not seen before not saying that I had not soundwave as such... That is a new image though - it isn't part of the images from a while back.
Thus :

Dude it's chill, was just letting you know it was there if you wanted to look it up.
As for the Soundwave photo, based on the detail of the hinges and such, I'd say it's in-hand, possibly a prototype, like the blaster images were
Posted by RAR on February 2nd, 2016 @ 12:10am CST
As well as to show Soundwave (possibly the first picture of a plastic version) rather than a CGI render.
They are getting pretty good at those CGI renders now - the way they did the glass on the cassette deck is really convincing. it's only things like the screws that give it away.
I'm still not 100% sure the base mode and the top robot image even are CGI I can't see anything to tell either way - I'm guess they are as the head is for sure.
But out of that context I'm unsure.. I'm guessing CGI but that is just a guess.
Opinions ?
Are these images here real objects or CGI ?

I know you don't read the current comics so here's a real quick thing: Nexus and Onyx Prime were allies, and Nexus used his enigma of combination to create the original headmasters using Onyx's troops. I'm wondering if they could work in this version of Onyx into TR considering that storyline

It's a griffin-centaur hybrid, he's rearing onto his hind legs, the front ones are in the air
RAR wrote:Are these images here real objects or CGI ?
Those are likely renders using the 3d model used for designing him, likely given a skeleton and posed, then the take a high res render of it; it's likely that all photo's are thus created, and some are photo-shopped where needed (botcon, super early releases/teases).

I dunno, that'd probably he a little difficult to finagle, and I don't know if hasbro would think enough people would buy it to green-light it.

Victory Leo
That's a little out there, even for hasbro. Maybe if they had acknowledged the other lines before now, it might happen, but I think they'll stick with the more logical redeco's

And you can see animal legs on his legs and waist. So it's most likely that he has a beast mode. But that head on his shoulder could also be a wolf head I think.
I just hope his third mode is a vehicle mode. Would love to see that.

But I am liking what I see.
Funny thought: by putting beast modes on some of the toys, that is hasbro honouring beast wars ...I'll leave now...

No reason for not doing an appropriate one. Or they'll repaint him into another Charakter like Lio Prime.

Or another certain remold of a Japanese character. I guess Hasbro really likes Victory since he and Liokaiser both come from there. Maybe Victory Leo isn't so unlikely.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees a wolf head. I know people are saying lion, but just how credible are our sources? Have they actually seen the lion mode or are they just assuming it'll be a lion since Hasbro did that one Alpha Trion prototype from BM Snarl and Alpha Trizer (a different character all together) from Thundertron. Then again Thundertron doesn't look like a Lion to me either so who knows?

I agree with this whole-heartedly. I started collecting TFs when Transformers news wasn't as easy to come by during RID and sometimes popping into the store and finding the two-packs that were a surprise was always awesome.
My friend Steve doesn't really collect toys any more, but he has about 50 times the fun going into TRU than I do because he never reads the news.

It's definitely a lion head, the ears are too small for a wolf and there looks to be a lot of detail on the mane which also rules out tiger hawk (sorry memphis!)
As for getting a Victory Saber out of it or even just Victory Leo. ...I'll pass as I wou like doing rather have one that can combine with star saber

That's what i was thinking! had it not been for the fact that he's a Voyager figure! now if he were Deluxe....he may've formed an arm of a Gestalt, which WOULD'VE made him more like Liobreaker. & YES! i know! this is a Titans Return figure....and not a Combiner Wars one. but....one can dream, can't he

Owl would have been cool yes. And the wings could have made for good spaceship mode wings. As it stands, I'd like to see how a spaceship mode will come from this guy. could prove interesting
