For anyone not in the know, Skipjack is an alternative name for Rampage and one that was used for a yellow version of his EZ Collection toy. My guess is that they're releasing the Rampage mold in yellow, which means we can have a more screen accurate Devastator!

Also, I'm curious as to what or who Iaconus is...

Thanks Lore keeper! I did wonder on Skipjack :lol:

Iaconus... Iacon... A city former for Cyberverse?

So, we have an Earthrise Megatron coming up. In my opinion, they're going to need to do something really good, like give Megatron a mace, for me to get another. The only reason I'm getting Earthrise Optimus is for the trailer, which I'm really excited for.

Cyberverse Ultimate Iaconus? That's new.

I'm totally down for the idea of new cityformer characters, though I don't think they could do tue concept justice st that scale.

I'm really surprised they're tackling Megatron again so soon. Optimus got another figure so they could finally give the G1 toy a direct update. With Megatron, that can't be the case, so my guess is that they're either going to do something completely new and out there with him (which would be very cool) or possibly do an update of one of his other classic toys.

I’m hoping for a tfa inspired mode... a gun is unlikely and the tank has been overdone.

My hope is maybe Cybertron Megatron to go with the Cybertron Prime we got in Siege. I thought that was the case with the armoured car rumours but Double Dealer has muddied that somewhat. Maybe a generations take on Animated Megatron.

That reminds me, I'm surprised we still haven't seen a proper reveal on the Takara Super Megatron toy. Also, that Armada Optimus. I hope they don't get canceled.

I'm hoping that we see more on them soon, but I think the Seacons took precedence. Can't see either of them being cancelled.

Ss blitz scream will be a must for me. The a3 toy is just too expensive for me though the head looks like starscreaam with a gas mask, hope the studio series is similar.

Fingers crossed for a gun mode earth rise megatron that isn't undersized.

Would you settle for a blue Nerf gun with an orange tip? I doubt a gun mode authentic to the cartoon colours Megatron will go over well, in such a mainstream line to boot.

I'm curious about Megatron's alt mode as well. My guess is that Hasbro will give him a half-ass "submarine" mode and have no mention of a gun mode nor have instructions for said gun mode. However, the gun mode is actually there, but it will be dubbed "fan-made" when it starts showing up on social media. That might be the only way they're able to slip through with that loophole.

any G2 color nerf gun would be fine for me, the classics toy was okay and could do with an update.

Posted by ZeroWolf on January 2nd, 2020 @ 8:27am CST

I'm personally fine if no Megatron toy ever has a gun mode ever again as it was a silly idea in the first place as pointed out in the joke that featured in the Ghostbusters x Transformers crossover comic. The one where Prime joked to Venkman that he started the civil war by accidentally stepping on Megatron in gun mode.

A submarine mode is possible but again, only in non G1 colours. Shockwave got away with it because of colours.

I'm actually glad we're getting a new Megatron, the Siege one was IIRC one of the weaker figures from that line. As far as stylings and altmodes go I'd like either a hybrid of G1 and Armada (but done better than the CW Leader please!) or alternatively a more G1 figure that turns into a helicopter gunship, twin-rotor or otherwise.

Honestly I'm getting tired of this 4 tread megatrons. It feels really lazy to me since each limb is a separate tread. At least go back and give us a double tread tank like G2 did.

Artillery piece Megatron would rock. I'd prefer him to have a vehicle mode as well, but triple changing Megs is cool too so I'd be down for that.

Incidentally a 3P is making a Megatron that turns into the Gustav railway gun, but that's going to be both expensive and absolutely colossal (as one might expect from one of the largest mobile guns in history).

Another option I think would be cool would be having him turn into a WW2 style "tank destroyer" like a Jagdpanther or the like. They often mounted some formidable weapons, and due to their casemate design (the gun was built directly into the hull due to the size) you wouldn't need to engineer a turret.

Megatron is certainly puzzling for Earthrise. I agree the Tank alt mide has been played out, and to have Megatron be a "space gun" doesn't follow the premise of Earthrise.

Wow, the Blitzwing is actually happening! I'm looking forward to it.

Part of me is not really looking forward to another Megs, but I also didn't love his Siege design, so I welcome another take. I hope it takes cues from Cybertron.

If we could actually get this, I would turn my wallet inside out.

On the subject of an Earthrise Megs, it would be great to get a riff on the Animated version in G1 colors. Otherwise, I'm not buying it.

I would like it if it was an update on Master Megatron from Galaxy Force, to go with Siege leader Prime.

I feel like for them to go the tank route on Megatron again after Siege it would have to be something larger and meaner looking. Maybe along the lines of Armada.
An artillery placement would be even better and a nice change, if we want to get real crazy he could even have the new connector attachments and you could join him to the coal car on Astrotrain

I really hope we see a jet or helicopter Megatron. The movies, animated, and Prime showed just how good those alt modes could work

For Megatron, I'm thinking the two most likely options are either a Cybertron Megatron to go with Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus, or a G2 Megatron using his green and purple deco (and the vehicle mode is an actual Earth tank this time, with the front end ending up as the chest and the cannon on the shoulder), as that's the only G2 Megatron deco that hasn't gotten a figure in the past couple years.

I would hope that the new Megatron compliments Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime, so I don't have to get it LOL. I'm trying to focus on G1 cartoon characters only.

I don't know how likely a G2 Megs is, but that's the one I would like to see. I've been collecting figures based on the Marvel Comics lead villains, and that character / design is my biggest gap. The Classics G2-esque mold's transformation and robot mode are structurally very different from the original. It might be too close to the Generations Selects release to come out now, but on the other hand, it definitely has a real Earth mode.

Can we go back to the Howitzer concept for Megatron? What if we think of it along the lines of Astrotrain's Tender, where there are two armatures off to the side that can connect to the Base Modes? i would LOVE that concept. And maybe if they are the legs they could ve designed to totally not snap together under the Turret and be held by hand

Actually, its a ahame Megs is not a Leader, the Leader Pricepoint could give us a Voyager Megatron with his accesories that turn into a manned turret for him.

I'm half hoping it's a tank so we get a voyager green version so I can have a voyager version of all 3 G2 Megs.

but he really needs a jet. But I also love the idea of a Cybertron Megatron or animated one. Please Hasbro!

Master Megatron was mainly a race car with a haphazard 3rd mode that could be called a jet, but the race car would definitely fit with Earthrise.

Re: New Transformers Listings Found Including Studio Series Blitzwing and Earthrise Megatron (2048470)
Posted by Nemesis Primal on January 3rd, 2020 @ 11:56pm CST

If Megatron is an update of his Energon, Cybertron, or Animated designs, I might have to buy him on principle, those are easily my favorite Megatron designs (barring Beast Wars, since he's so different of a character). I honestly feel like I have yet to see a Megatron design that I would say is my definitive design for the character, but those are all great options. The artillery-with-Astrotrain-compatibility was an awesome idea too though, so really anything but another G1 Tank Megs will have my attention. There really feels like there is no excuse for that RIGHT after the Siege one, even if people say he wasn't the best of the line.

SS Blitzwing is such great news, especially since it really should not have taken this long for us to get him.

SS Blitzwing! FINALLY! Were they waiting so they could release him at the same time as Jeep Bee? (Not that I'd blame them if they were, since the two figures should compliment each other nicely.)

Makes sense, though I feel like it might annoy some people who already bought the red one.

If they were doing a cityformer, why not just make Croaton? Plus, if Iacon was a Titan, wouldn't Windblade have known? My guess is it's either soemone named after the city, or some Cybertronian historical figure for whom the city is named. Either way, though, I like that they're making up new characters for season 3 of Cyberverse.

Two things: the Battle Squad is getting reissued to take an extra slot, and Megatron was likely the unlikely rumor that was true from the Cybertroncookie reports ((besides ones we already heard about).

That doesn't seem particularly likely, considering that Blitzwing doesn't really resemble movieverse Starscream at all, and already looks about as close to G1 Starscream as you're going to get in the movieverse aesthetic.

I somehow doubt we'll be getting a Beast Wars figure in Earthrise, which seems to be more focussed on early-G1 characters.

There's no real reason to suspect it _is_ one, either, and even if Ultimate is the biggest size Cyberverse has, it still seems a bit small for a modern city-former. I'm going to stick with "guy they named the city after" as my guess, but it could turn out to be pretty much anything, and I'm deeply curious to find out.

Starscream was in the Bumblebee movie though, on the same body as Blitzwing with different altmode kibble...

I'm not ruling anything out for megatron at this point, I think the voyager size will limit its possible alt modes of it not being one of the previous iterations (beast wars, Cybertron, RID, G1 etc) but it's not like we havent seen undersized/oversized alts before. Just as likely it could be something new (machine wars style jet or a F14 Tomcat fighter -which we could get a toy version of jetfire as a selects repaint). The mystery is likely better than the end product at the mo.

The fact that he's in that movie with that design, even if only for a couple shots, still makes it silly to say things like "Blitzwing doesn't really resemble movieverse Starscream at all, and already looks about as close to G1 Starscream as you're going to get in the movieverse aesthetic".
