After Powermaster Aragon was revealed to be part of the Amazon exclusive Fan Vote 3 pack, fans were wondering if and when we'd have the other two. Well, thanks to TOYSTV Youtube channel, we have our first look at the next two Powerdashers! Their video walks us through the Hasbro display at ACG 2019, a convention in Hong Kong. Since Aragon was a retool of Cog, it's no surprise these Cromar and Zetar are retools of the other two Weaponizers, Six Gun and Brunt, respectively. Both have new heads based off their odd G1 toys, with Zetar's new head presumably playing a part in the tank mode to make it look like a drill.
The two are on the same display shelf as their Generations Selects counterparts, so they will likely be released under that line. Since the video covers the entire Hasbro display, we can also see the upcoming Masterpiece figures, Optimus Prime, Hound, and Blackarachnia, as well as a many, already unveiled, Selects, Siege, and Studio Series figures.
So, what are your thoughts on these two oddball releases? Check out the images as well as the video, and tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below.

The original Weaponizers are great, and these look awesome. I hope to buy all 3 Powerdashers, leaving 6 Weaponizers total. Still, the whole Powerdasher team being remade was a welcome surprise.

Neat, I'm always down for some more weaponizers, though sadly there's no way Cromar could be my Metroshot. Seems like it would have been easier to release these as a 3 pack, and just have the Mirage/Impactor set be it's own thing...

Cromar could be a nice weapons kit for G2 Sideswipe, but otherwise, I'm not too inclined to pick any of them up. Only getting Aragon because he comes in that set with Impactor and Mirage

I was lucky to get my hands on a Collectors Club Spinister but I missed out on Needlenose and it's not a cheap figure. Anyone's thoughts....anyone...anyone?
Considering he's been in two fan polls, Hasbro's probably itching to release a NeedlenoseIf they do, I hope it looks like the card version
I'd say it's quite likely since the vote determines who's made first, not who's the only one to get a new toy.

And that truck-mode is so shiney, wow!

Omega Supreme looks OK. But not as good as I hoped. I'm a big G1 Spreem fan and was really looking forward to this big guy. When I saw the first prototype pictures i just couldnt believe that hastak is finally bringing him out and he looks like he came out of the cartoon. Probably a lot of you thought the same.
I dont mind the small base. I dont mind the longer rocket compared to the original G1 figure. I like the tank mode with its compartment. I like the fact that countdown is included. Thats a good fit. I like the grade of details and the colors. I like that hes big. I dont like the transparent claw. Feels a bit off and makes me worry bout the plastic quality. I dont like that the tank mode is just too big for the tracks. But thats something i also can look past. But the gap between hips and torso is absolutly unforgivable for my taste. Hastak why? You made a dream come true but screw up with the huge gap. Displaying this figure would just ruin the fun for me. I would just stare at the gap. It makes the figure look SO off. IMHO. If a 3p addon will come out to fix this, and i think there will, then i will get this one. Till then ill pass. I really want to like it. But i cant.
Cheese

Wow, Considering I didn't even know who the Powerdashers were last week, the 3-pack looks really nice! All 3 are really good looking and seem to be nice and interesting ways to reuse the weaponizers. I think I'll need to get the whole team. I'd get Aragon anyway cause I want both the other bots in that 3-pack. Bout time Impactor got a proper head! And clear Mirage is sweet.
The drill head is my favorite. That is bonkers and so cool. It had better be detachable!
Back to some current Siege stuff, the Wreckers are beginning to put their Mascot(s) to good use!

Did the toy show did not display the alt mode, or the guy on the channel just did not bother to shoot them? I am curious to see zetar's alt mode, because the official configuration might be different from brunt, since no way his head stay in the exact same place and position as brunt and not looking awkward.

Fellow Seibertronians! Yours truly has discovered something out of this world, with a new found discount on the extremely popular Transformers War For Cybertron Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime! Thanks to Seibertron user Robin, we now have proof that the very own "Our worlds are in DANGER!" guy is being discounted to the new low price of $40.72! Those of you who passed on him earlier may now have a reason to find the four Cyber Planet keys with this guy. He can be ordered now from Walmart's online store.
We recommend you use this image for price matching at Walmart (or any other retailer) to take advantage of it.
Will you be running to your retailers as fast as the Cybertron theme song now? Or will you still be passing on him. Let us know in the discussion below.

That's not to mention that you could also combine them together to have another big guy on the wreckers team to make up for the fact that we really don't have toys of most of the larger wreckers.

I wonder if they will have different alternate modes than the original versions of the molds. Shouldn't be too hard to make up some vehicle modes. They've been doing it for years after all.

Aragon at least does retain Cog's standard altmode, so it is plausible that the other two will follow suit. Zetar may simply have his drill plugged into the mouth of Brunt's tank cannon.Wireless_Phantom wrote:I wonder if they will have different alternate modes than the original versions of the molds.

I was thinking about this before we actually saw the figure, and I think I figured something out. Right now I'm assuming the drill does not come off until we see proof that it does, so that means for a proper drill tank Zetar's head has to be the front of the alt mode. When I was looking at Brunt to see if it would work, I noticed these holes:There's one of these on both sides, and they seem to serve no purpose, BUT! If you lay Brunt's torso down on his back and plug his arms into those holes rather than the usual holes, you can get this:Where now the alt mode is still on it's treads/wheels but with the head facing forwards. Rearrange the rest of him a bit, and boom, drill tank. Regardless of if that's how they'll set up the alt mode or not, that's a possibility, and I don't really know why those holes are there otherwise anyway.
Since I haven't actually weighed in on them yet today, I'm still not entirely sure where I fall on the Powerdashers as a whole, but I am going to absolutely get Zetar regardless of the other two. I don't know what I'm going to do about that Amazon set yet, but Aragon is definitely not the main pull of that set for me, and I want to see more of Cromar before I really know what I think of him, but Zetar looks great and will add some much-needed unique colors to my Siege Autobots since 5/6 of them are at least somewhat red.

Shouldn't be too hard to make up some vehicle modes. They've been doing it for years after all.
I was thinking about this before we actually saw the figure, and I think I figured something out. Right now I'm assuming the drill does not come off until we see proof that it does, so that means for a proper drill tank Zetar's head has to be the front of the alt mode. When I was looking at Brunt to see if it would work, I noticed these holes:There's one of these on both sides, and they seem to serve no purpose, BUT! If you lay Brunt's torso down on his back and plug his arms into those holes rather than the usual holes, you can get this:Where now the alt mode is still on it's treads/wheels but with the head facing forwards. Rearrange the rest of him a bit, and boom, drill tank. Regardless of if that's how they'll set up the alt mode or not, that's a possibility, and I don't really know why those holes are there otherwise anyway.

That's how I feel about Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron and his robo-vagina.

I can't believe they kept Cromar's silly clown nose! Yeah, it's accurate to the toy, but all of his fictional appearances did away with it because it looks silly. Not a deal breaker by any means. But, it is not possible for him to look intimidating or cool with that bug red honker on his face.

I'm glad they're using existing moulds for toys characters that aren't mainstream and they know might not be on everyone's must have list...
In fact, think many of us look at a new mould and try to figure out what they'll be repurposed for - and think they're making interesting choices - e.g. shockwave's shackwave repaint... and that they'r making them relatively easy to get hold of, well done them.
I don't have any connection to these guys - think I only found out of their existence when I started collecting again thanks to the internet... so my wallet will breathe easy...

I would consider that maybe more of a pee hole in his drawers than a bagina. That’s just me
War’s tough Cromar’s been hitting the bottle hard in the trenches that’s why he’s got that fat gin blossom on his face I tell ya.

To be fair I only like mp 36 from the chest up, as I fully agree with Siebs about that unfortunate gap. Just because a real one isn't placed there, doesn't mean it can't look like one 
I don't see the Issue with Cromars nose, it's just a design choice and I feel like it gives him character

To each his own, but amazingly, on my shelf - I nary give it a second thought, to say nothing of a second look.
The more I think about the Powerdashers, though, the more I think I might get them. I passed on the store-bought Weaponizers minus Brunt and I've said all along that I've no problem with the figures themselves - I really just didn't want to be tempted to go off the deep end and buy the Titans that go with them. So far, no Trypticon, but it's still on the table.

Transformers Siege Jetfire has been out online for a little while now. Those in Canada can get him at toysrus.ca while he has been shipping from a few online retailers in the US, like BBTS. But the question was, would any retailer actually stock him in stores? While that may never be the case for the US, Canadian families will see this behemoth when they do their shopping in the Transformers aisle. Jetfire has been found in Toysrus stores in Ontario, Canada, as you can see in this image below. It is $119.99 CAD. The sighting comes from Yonoid over at the cybertron.ca website.

I'm fairly certain Walmart just charged my card for the 35 the anniversary series. We may see those soon.

The Siege leader Optimus is also on amazon for the same price.

Ahhh...what could have been.... I truly do appreciate the pics though. (no sarcasm this time). Thank you 
. This reminds me though. There's been some strange goings-on on the site of what was my closest local TRU. I pass by it every day on my home from work. But today I'm in no rush, I'll see if I can do a little *investigating*, If you don't see any posts from me on Monday, it's likely I'm in jail.
