- Leader Blackshadow: Appears to share the same mold as Overlord since his alt modes match the previous tease from Hasbro. He also appears to come with 2 titan masters.
-Leader Sixshot and all his six modes
- Voyager Broadside who comes with tiny jets on a sprue for the aircraft carrier mode.
- Voyager Optimus Prime
- Legends Brawn and Kickback
- Titan Master Repugnus and Fangry
- Deluxe Triggerhappy, Hotrod, Twinferno and Getaway
UPDATE: Megatronus, who was there on site had this to say about the small jets that come with Braodside:
you'll notice Broadside has 5 tiny jets - these are separate pieces that will come on a sprue, and peg right onto Broadside. John Warden just said they took the original CAD designs of the Aerialbots and scaled them down
We will keep updating this news post with more images so stay tuned.

Two titan masters is a giveaway plus the SR-71 + tank combo. Overlord! Oh Yeah!

Mini Aerialbots! Aww
Also
PERCEPTOR!!

And not in an updated Generations sort of way; as in, he literally looks like if his G1 toy was given articulation. Even moreso than the headmasters.

Repugnus is adorable, as is Shuffler.
Kickback will be a buy on sight. He looks awesome.
Perceptor...I'm not sure. He looks slightly off somehow. I'll wait for more pics. If he's good I'll buy him though, I've always liked Perceptor.
Broadside I'm not sure about. It looks like he's a Leader and they've done away with the triple changing, which in all honesty I'm OK with. The sprue of Aerialbots is awesome. Still, it IS Broadside...
Black Shadow...eh. I would have thought Thunderwing would have made more sense, especially given they're retools of each other. That aside he looks OK I guess, but the legs (especially the lack of ankles) disappoint me. I MIGHT get this as Overlord. Might. Then again I might just get the MMC version...when I'm rich.
Sixshot has some weird proportions going on there. Might pass and go for Hexatron.

Um... the figure on display is Black Shadow. He's going to be retooled into Overlord if that's what you're talking about though. We haven't actually seen Overlord yet.

Yeah sure, but there's so much Overlord in that Black Shadow it's definitely justified to get excited for the later retool already.SureShot18 wrote:fenrir72 wrote:Ginrai is gonna have a playmate after all! Overlord!

Now as for the length of time it took me to realize it wasn't a Voyager triple changer? Let's not discuss that

I think Black Shadow was leader sized in IDW? Kind of???? We never really got a good look at him. He seemed to be on par with Magnus and taller than Optimus in a flashback though.
Your mileage may vary on that one; but at least all three Phase Sixers will look awesome next to each other.
Also very glad to see there's two titan masters. I wonder what Black Shadow's second head will be... Overlord's different heads will obviously be Masterforce and IDW.

Really really cool!
Now, onto the reveals:
All the Titanmasters look awesome and I shall buy all of them.
I love that Perceptor. It is adorable and I love it.
Wave 3 deluxes look really good as well.
Really kicking myself for getting the Titanmaster Brawn now, but oh well I guess. I will get that legends to complete my crew (I think?) of minibots.
Broadside! Yes! So glad to be getting him! And then Sky Shadow?!?! YES!! I am loving these Japanese G1 guys making the cut!

At first, it just looked like a headmasters-centered line with some movie guys thrown in and the obvious additional movie characters. But now...?
Let's look at what we've got here.
-A lot of the 1987 line, from Headmasters to Targetmasters to Sixshot
-Movie guys, including an incredible Galvatron and Hot Rod
-The 1985 and 1986 Triple Changers
-The cassette players and their tapes
-A G2 Optimus
-1984 characters in Brawn, Laserbeak, Megatron etc
-A Victory character
-Masterforce characters
-1988 Characters
This is the biggest, fanwankiest celebration of G1 I've ever seen. It's grabbing characters from practically every era; I wouldn't be surprised to see Euro G1 and G2 show up at this point!
... well okay, I WOULD, but you get what I mean. Combiner Wars was pretty standard in having the original combiners, some 1984 guys and a few new characters and odd ends like Victorion, Sky Lynx and Ultra Magnus thrown in. And every CHUG line before that (Thrilling 30 aside) was also pretty standard; while it was usually a grab-bag, they rarely if ever went beyond 1986. But this? ... this is incredible. There's something here for everyone.

I think he still is a voyager triple changer. He has what look to be plane parts hanging off of him so they might have just not shown it off, and part of the legs are from Alpha Trion, a voyager, so it's unlikely they would use voyager parts for a leader class figure.

Hot rods a little disappointing.
Looks like the quality is dropping with some of these deluxes designs.

Yeah, neither did I. I guess we wont be getting thunderwing afterall then.
And yeah, I am pretty sure they are telling us that he comes with 2 titan masters

fenrir72 wrote:Overlord? Instant buy!
Broadside is a must!
Is the Brawn head compatible with the new Brawn as in complete body?
Kickback arooga!
2017 will be along waaaaaaaaaaaait!
Just so things are clear Fenrir, that is Sky Shadow in the pics, not Overlord. But Overlord will share the mold, so we can all still be excited.
And the brawn titan master does not fit on the legends brawn head, since its a legends figure and nota deluxe.

I am lost a bit, why was the purchase of Blaster dependent on the Perceptor toy existing?
I am super impresed with how G1 they went with him by the way. Its almost too bad since I know exactly how he transforms without even having him in my hands.

I'm also pretty sure Broadside is still a voyager as well. Just look at him compared to Black Shadow. he's much smaller, and of course he looks like Alpha Trion with the legs and stuff. Pretty sure he's still Voyager

It was a decision on whether or not to get that platinum with Blaster and Perceptor if I remember correctly.

All around pretty good stuff going on here, while I am not a fan of the movie lines they definitely made lines like this possible.
Posted by Mindmaster on October 5th, 2016 @ 8:01pm CDT
Brawn looks ridiculously good. Looking forward to see what he's bringing to the table.
Broadside coming with mini jets is adorable.
Oh, and Perceptor too. Guess this means I can rid myself of the frustration that is Reveal the Shield Perceptor finally...

You didn't see it coming dude? They've been doing this "release an inferior version first" thing, at least in theory, with a lot of stuff. Make a mold, make the retool/repaint, put out said repaint first, get sales because it's a new mold, then put it out as the character "everyone wanted"? From the standpoint of making money, makes good senseMindmaster wrote:Not really sure what to think of Black Shadow being a preemptive retool of Overlord. I might just stick with my Deluxe. Speaking of, what a massive cocktease that we're getting Blqck Shadow first and not Overlord. Lame!

He is, it was confirmed in the computer listings. I am very curious as to what his jet mode looks like though, they dont have it on display.

I didn't see it coming because I didn't know what Overlord could be pretooled into, if anything - and I certainly wasn't expecting Black Shadow to be that pretool. I figured it'd be another Sixshot case.

It's just the voyagers that are all triple changers. Perceptor might be but other than him all the deluxes have 1 alt mode, and the leaders have a base mode (except for Sixshot... maybe). My main complaint with the triple changer voyagers is the fact we're getting everyone but the 2 Decepticon Headmaster Triple Changers (unless those rumors are true).

Talking of those rumours; they contained Sky Shadow. This new reveal suddenly makes that specific rumour list a lot more credible - can somebody find it again? Because while I'm sure a lot of us already believed it I think tonight makes it even more believable and I wanna see what was on it again. I think it was the one with Carnivac too

That was already discussed back when Sky Shadow was first announced.

It didn't surprise me that they did a pretool for Overlord, but I was surprised that Sky Shadow was the pretool since most of us just assumed he'd be a pretool of Thunderwing. I would have been much happier with the Overlord pretool being Flywheels/Skytread, especially since now we'll have one black jet retooled into another black jet. I'll probably still buy him, but I really want a Leader class Thunderwing and that seems unlikely to be coming any time soon now.
Anyway, all these great new Titan Masters coming out are really making wave 1 look bad. They're just so perfect looking! I mean, yeah, sure, I'd love to have full figures, even just Legends for most of them, but for what they are they're great! Also I'm thinking Fangry will make a good enough Grotusque. I just hope they go back and do a TM Doublecross/Twinferno. I kinda want to see Repugnus repainted at Beast Wars Buzzclaw. And is it me or does he look like he has Vector Prime's wings? They even have the round joints on them. Possible pretool? Replace the bug parts with some other vehicle parts perhaps and include a variant of the Sovereign TM (who is based Safeguard)?
