So, while nothing should be taken as fact until we have solid proof, here is a round up of upcoming redeco'd toys from the Siege line that are rumoured to come out. The initial post for this rumour also states that these are a exclusives of some sort, akin to every other redeco exclusive we are seeing in the Siege line.
List of Deluxe redeco toys:
- Cybertron Hot Shot which is repaint of Hound but features accurate headsculpt (the photo below is a digibash by Air Hammer)
- G1 Toy color special package Refractor , this time came in a special package mimic a real world digital camera box set. Has extra accessories like a flash, a lens and button pad to make camera mode super accurate to real life model. 3 robots will sport a toy deco. This rumour is in line with an image of the camera mode found on Refactor's packaging
- Nightbird , repaint of Chromia , with new headsculpt
- Powerdasher , repaint of Brunt , with new headsculpt
- Decepticon Impactor which feature different deco compared to the retail autobot release

That was the official name of the Astro Magnum redeco sold at Radio Shack.

1. The purple comes from the Marvel comics. It may have looked maroon on some copies depending on print quality (especially in US prints because the US comics were relegated to the low-end printing equipment) or age of the paper, but purple is the correct color.
2. What makes the desaturated presentation from the IDW comics not look Decepticon to you?

Those parts could probably added to the cartoon accurate reflector. So you still get what you want.

Both statements were too vague for me to include in a post I would front page. Good for discussion though.

There's also a vague rumor about next year's Titan and Commander class figures. The Titan is to be one that is "expected", while the Commander is, bizarrely, described as being one that will be complementary to Titan class Omega Supreme.Hellscream9999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:There are even more rumors as well, such as the three Rainmakers (Ion Storm, Nova Storm, and Acid Storm) from Siege Starscream, and some vague notion of more Wreckers coming.

This is correct, the same source described the Rainmakers three pack as the following.
Ion storm has lighter and more saturated blue than Thundercracker.
Unlike the animation model , all 3 have white paint at the front waist piece
Has Gunmetal chest thruster and black thruster feet as usual
Not as much diverse paint as redwing but all the mold detail still pops

Titan Scorponok, has to be.
I just want a Commander-class Tidal Wave in animation accurate colors, is that too much to ask for?
Leader class armored car? Could be another Sentinel Prime maybe? Otherwise I’ve no idea.

For sure, but then I'm going to have three extra bots I don't really want.
Best case, Hasbro Pulse starts releasing accessory packs, like these parts or the Battle Masters blast effects.

The Siege voyager+kibble=leader scale one is fine, it's just not the one I've wanted since MP Shockwave came out. Also, I doubt I'm going to be willing to shell out the premium version of leader class price for what I regard as a voyager class toy.

It's a repaint line, what do you expect? Its no different than the TFCC, aside from this being cheaper and more accessible.

An armored car Leader-class... Roadblock? Another try at Quickswitch (although technically his ground mode is a drill tank)?
A Commander Class complementary to Omega Supreme.... Smaller version in Guardian Robot colors? New Devy? Sky Lynx? Or maybe someone misinterpreting a description that could apply to Jetfire as being a new figure?

We know that. This is just a list that includes him as well and further gives credence to the fact that we are getting him. As opposed to it just being art of a design we would never get (like the monstructor and dinoking).

Watch the new Commander figure be a down-sized version of CW Devastator.
or it could be what we all truly want. GENERATIONS OMEGA SPREME
As for the leader figure my mind immediately went to Cybertron Defense Red Alert, to go with the rumored Hot Shot.
Actually if the commander has something to with Omega Supreme, maybe it will Buzzsaw?

car is
I know we all think the Titan class should be scorponoj
But what if they switch it up and give something like a repaint of Omega supreme as dark sentinel

But that wouldn't complement Omega, since Titan class Omega is already scaled to size up to Titan class Devastator. Omega's taller, even.Wireless_Phantom wrote:Watch the new Commander figure be a down-sized version of CW Devastator

It was halfway a joke honestly. But really, who else as any inherent connection to Omega Supreme who would fit the scale?
Posted by Sabrblade on July 12th, 2019 @ 9:32pm CDT
Hmm, maybe we're all approaching this from the wrong angle. Instead of thinking about Omega from the fictional standpoint, maybe it's to do with him as a toy.Wireless_Phantom wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But that wouldn't complement Omega, since Titan class Omega is already scaled to size up to Titan class Devastator.

He's a rocket base, so maybe it's a Commander class figure with a spaceship altmode that can connect to Omega's base mode launchpad, like a new Sky Lynx or Galaxy Shuttle.

Considering Omega comes with Countdown, you could also consider that a fiction based connection, albeit it's a bit of a stretch. Hey, I'd get it if they did it.

EDIT: The wishful thinking in my head pointed out that that vague description could be construed to apply to Overlord, if one can consider a Decepticon with some similar functionality to be a complementary figure.

Color variant. "Galactic Man" is a title, like "Galaxy Upgrade" and "Covert Clone", so the characters remain the same as far as Hasbro's concerned. Not us fans tho

There were 11 repaints and retools in the 84 line. Stop acting like this is new. It’s been done since day one.

I would prefer a Reflector toy multi-pack. So far the rumours list sounds like a Digibash list

Posted by blackeyedprime on July 13th, 2019 @ 4:57am CDT
I'd probably go for the hotshot hound as I like the alt mode but not as hounds alt and although the orig hotshot figure is nice, I've only got it as springer. The ccg card hound has a roof like the toy hax piece so maybe hasbro will include one this time.
Reflector would be a buy if he has accessories otherwise ko g1 will do.
Compliments omega rumor... More than likely downsized devy now that I've bought the unite warriors version (and I still think the cheap NBK set is much nicer/same scale as what downsized would be). I'm kind of hoping for Omega spreem, because it would be like the old g1 junior line for those that cant/don't want the price/size of titans which paves the way for two sizes for Scorponok.
Night bird will be an easy pass having the Takara legends version. I think we will see some more non G1 figures in the line, with even animated alts coming into play.

They don't have to be fancy, just like the Double Autobot Targetmaster we already got to go along with the upcoming Spinister. Then maybe Hasbro can also make the other Double Targetmasters. Now that i think of it, Hasbro also needs to make the appropriate Targetmaster buddy for the upcoming Crosshairs.
This is the Selects rumors list for Siege figures, not rumors for the main WFC line. I know the article is a bit unclear about that, but yeah, this wouldn't be the place for Snapdragon and others like that to be rumored.

This.
Maybe one or more of these will happen, but most of these rumors were fandom wishes. I don't know how much credence we should give the Galactic Man "hit."
I'm not faulting this as a news item, I'm just starting from a position of skepticism. We see this all the time in fandom movie rumors: people say what they want to be true, call it a rumor, and then there's no accountability when they're wrong. Ideally, when these things are reported we should be questioning if the particular poster has been credible in the past, but between forum anonymity and the way these things snowball, who can tell where they started to begin with.
With SDCC around the corner, I suspect we'll know about these for sure in a matter of weeks. Who knows, preparation for that event could be a source of leaks.

They don’t mention it in the original list, but later on they mention that they got word that a voyager rainmakers 3 pack is coming as well. Time will tell though with SDCC around the corner.

I'd think it was a ridiculous notion, but it's the right size, and they gave Brunt a robot mode for the line, so...

I'd love to see some Siege cassette micro master Frumbles, but they'd be so tiny. I'm hoping for at least a Ratbat new mold and Buzzsaw redeco to be announced but not included with Soundblaster. But in the meantime the most recent release of Rumble and Frenzy scale very well with Soundwave and the rest of the 'Cons.DMSL wrote:Nothing worth spending money on.

WOAH, now there's a nostalgia-craft I was not expecting to crash into!
For whatever reason, one Christmas I wanted Galactic Man more than any other toy, but not Shockwave. Someone mentioned giving him a backstory, and mine was sort of a cross between ALF's and E.T.'s. A lot s#!t I did in my childhood makes no sense to me now.
My original deteriorated to the point that I sold him at a garage sale for a buck, so this repaint just became a toy I don't actually want, but have to have.

Armored Car wise, would be cool if it's a Nova Prime variant of Galaxy Armor Prime. Nova could even be a "decepticon".

That’s so cool to hear my brother and I won one at a traveling carnival that came through town. So many memories come flooding back it’s like Transformers bring back memories for me like smells do for some people. Totally hope you score one now you’re on a mission to share some pics
