New Images of Transformers Kingdom Wave 2 Voyager Class Inferno

I definitely plan to get Inferno. He could use more paint (especially on the details), but that's been true of almost every factory deco since 1984 so...

Well...Damn. Looks like I'll need to break out the nail file again.
I wasn't planning on getting Kingdom Inferno, but those photos make him look very nice, dare I say better than Grapple.

With kingdom Cyclonus and rattrap now I have my transformers version of guardians of the galaxy (except for Mantis because I haven't decided on anyone for her yet). May or may not replace MP Grimlock with Kingdom Dinobot or BW Grimlock as Groot in the future. Maybe Packrat as rocket but don't think so. Thought about including Generations Sky Byte as Yondu too but wanted to stick to main MCU members

Sorry if this seems super irrelevant just wanted to share, I got excited lol

Not sure where this should go, but the big TFW leaker said that the rumored Glyph and Tapout were fake after all, despite him originally believing them to be real.

Aw, man. I hope we still get them eventually. I've always rather liked them, even though I haven't really read their stories.

Tap-Out's original profile backstory is a tad over-the-top edgy. I remember the Insecticomics taking the mickey out of it.

Oh dangit, T-wrecks is target exclusive huh. Guess that's another wish of mine i need to give up on then.

Who says a 4 pack has to all be the same size? Lil' Seekers for your bone bros to munch on sounds fun.

Wow, Chuck with a zinger!!!! Tbh from the vibe of your reviews, didn't ever see a comment like this coming from you!

It happens from time to time. My earlier reviews had a touch more humor and skits when I could work them in.

Wasn't he deluxe class? I remember a version of him later sold as a deluxe.

That was "Bendy Prime" who was smaller and far more poseable than the original combining release. He was also IIRC a really really cool toy whose articulation is still impressive today. The combining Prime with the trailer was Voyager-to-Ultra sized in robot mode.

If anybody reading this doesn't have a Bendy-Prime get one, right now, I'll wait.

I'm thinking the four-pack will be how we get the other two Seekers, I'm trying to remember who else was on the Ark when it crashed since it's all but confirmed that Core Class is meant to go with the Ark. Maybe a car bot?

Really bad form on Hasbro's part not to fix the peg issue on the Grapple/Inferno mold. We really need a Karen in the community to go to the corporate offices to complain.

Shhhhh! Not so loud! You'll summon her if you speak her name.

Well, if Roddimus is Commander class which means an inner figure with an outer add on bits to make him Prime-ed up .. will it just be the SS86 figure or a whole new one?

Also who's to say he isn't a slightly chonky scale-less figure that can do the full car/trailer/robot conversion with no extra parts?!

Well if no one else will start the rumor I will:

Unconfirmed rumor... However... It's rumored that the 4 pack is going to be reissues of the 4 Titan Class figures Metroplex (a new updated mold), Fortress Maximus (also a new mold and packed with his sword this time since Hasbro is deciding that only giving it to the SDCC version was messed up to fans), Omega Supreme, and Scorponok. This is to go with the Titan Class Ark and Attack on Titan: Final season. The rumor points out "Commemorating both the Ark and AoT:FS: that's 2 things. Look where the 4 pack is situated. That's 2 spaces before the Titan Class Ark listing. 2X2=4. 4 pack, 4 city-bots that are Titans. Now you add the 4 from the 4 pack with the 4 from the 4 city-bots, and 1 from Devastator who is being left out and you get 9. Yup, 9 Titans. And since Devastator is being left out, what does that mean? There is one more Titan Class figure coming that has been left out from the list. Majin Zarak CONFIRMED!!!"

I don't know the damndest thing about Mantis...Or GOTG...Or Marvel in general...but one 'bot jumped out immediately for Mantis.
Manterror!

Almost zero fictional appearances (thus allowing for easy headcanoning/repurposing/rewriting or whatever)? Check. Cute little buggy face? Check. Green as main colour? Check. Female? Well, technically no, but again- no real memorable fiction, and the balljoints for the mantis mode legs on the chest sure do look like...female torso features (four of them no less!) so...maybe?

Haha I love it!!! Now I just need to get my hands on a manterror figure or cross all of my fingers and any other fingers I can find that eventually there will be an updated figure of this character lolol
I had briefly considered my Netflix Soundwave for the part because in the comics he had some telepathic abilities and Mantis has empathic abilities, but I felt it would've been a waste of his potential. That's why I like to think of him as the Mandalorian with Laserbeak as his Grogu

Paleotrex shenanigans continue apace, this time in the form of a chainsaw.

Majin Zarak is my ultimate want. He's my holy grail. He's perfect for a Titan Class in a Kingdom which is dedicated to Beast Wars. Or with them doing the 86 movie in Studio Series, maybe they can do Majin Zarak as a Titan Class in SS since "Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger" is technically a movie... I can only hope.

You'll have to wait for them to do a titan class again since the rumours are its being shelved for two commander class releases

I had no idea who this character was, looked him up on the wiki, and he's cool as hell. Does he really need to be a titan class, though?

If they really are shelving the titan class in favor of two commander class, I hope we can get some non G1 guys in that size class. Like Beast Wars, which really only has 2 characters worthy of it: Optimal Optimus and Transmetal 2 Megatron. Maaaaybe Tigerhawk. If they keep the three-year scheme for the Generations toylines, they would take up less than half the slots.

Also, I personally don't care for Unicron Trilogy at all, but Armada and Energon Optimus look like great candidates for future Commander Class toys, I hope they make some for those who like the series.

Does he need to be? Well, I guess I'd be okay with him at Commander Class, but I would much prefer him to be Titan. Majin Zarak towers over everyone in the movie and he's on par with the city-bots in size. They could also bring out core class Flashing Lio Convoy and Burning Convoy (translucent red Primal) to go along with him. Now I'm just day dreaming of the possibilities.

Well, we already had OpOp at the Leader size so who knows if they'll feel like re-doing him at Commander size, given the G1 focus.

I have mixed feelings about Unicron Trilogy updates. Even Universe/Henkei Hot Shot, easily the best of the ones we've had so far, has some notable losses compared to the original Armada Hot Shot to weigh against all his gains.

As far as Commanders go... I'd still like to see Commander do-overs of Ultra Magnus and Overlord. Ultra Magnus would be able to have both a separate, Voyager-height cab robot and a more G1 trailer - one big enough to hold 4 Deluxes in car mode, no less. Overlord would scale better with Legends God Ginrai and be able to have his full base mode.

looks good truly a mini masterpiece
but i wish the vehicle mode didnt look like it was hugging the ground like a lowrider

Could that mixed feeling about Unicron Trilogy come from how reliant on the series' main gimmick those toys were? It's pretty difficult to make a gimmick heavy toy that is also on par with today's standard for detail and articulation, so the gimmicks get removed, and the design loses a bit of its magic.

As for commander do overs, I don't see Overlord's being that necessary, but I do see it with Ultra Magnus, if only to get a fully functional alt mode. Powermaster Optimus Prime is an update I don't think worked well enough as a Leader class, it lacks the whole "Optimus powers up aspect" which I think is the main appeal of the design.

However, I'd rather they branch out and update characters who've never had an update first, rather than do again guys who've already had an update within the last five years.

I must have gotten a better Grapple figure than others, because I haven't seen this crane/peg base error that others have mentioned. Does it snap off easy or something? Maybe it's because I'm very ginger with my figures when I transform them, but he seems fine to me.

Basically, the pegs on the base of the crane thingy tab wayyy too tightly into the feet, which can often cause them to eventually break off.

I must have gotten lucky then - they come out pretty easy from mine. Just brace a little and pull, and they slide out with very little resistance.

Yeah.. It usually comes down to the holes in Grapple's feet tending to be deformed and narrower than the 5mm diameter they should be (so says a guy on TFW who took a caliper to both). You can either file the pegs, or widen the hole.

I think a Commander re-do for Overlord is necessary at some point, because A. the Titans Return version comes up short next to God Ginrai and B. The Titans Return base mode is decidedly less impressive than this:

And hey, it would go nicely with a SELECTs Black Zarak if they did one.

I really am curious to know who will be included in the 4 pack...
Makes me wonder if it will be 4 Decepticons, 4 Autobots (because I could see a set that is meant to go with the Ark), or maybe even 2 and 2 with a couple being repaints (seekers and Datsuns). Something like this makes the most sense to me... As a kid I would've loved a set that included both bad guys and good guys. Plus it probably adds to the variety of alt modes included.

Did you order him from Pulse? I have a theory about Pulse figures being from later production runs than other retailers (hence their delayed releases). I got Grapple from there and he's completely fine, same goes for Blackarachnia's tab.
I can't comment on Cheetor's tab from Pulse (I'm waiting for the Netflix variant with its sexy sexy metallics) but I assume it's the same.

Not necessarily. Got Blackarachnia through pulse, tab still broke. Was a normal length tab too, as far as I can tell.

What if they did a Commander Class Combiner (like they did with Devastator as a Titan Class) for Kingdom? They have a perfect 3 bot Combiner that could definitely use an update straight from Beast Wars too (II, if you get it): Magnaboss. Prowl (Lio Junior) Silverbolt (no, not dog/bird, just bird. Skywarp, but a good guy), and Ironhide (Santon). His 3 bots all stay with the organic animal look of Kingdom, and can go along with that Tripredicus Council they made a little bit ago.

Until Rodimus was semi-confirmed/leaked, I thought this might be the way they were going to go. Personally, I would have loved if it was the Beast Wars II color scheme, with maybe a Selects deluxe Prowl version cause he was the only one with any major individual paint difference.

Greetings Seibertronians! In perfect timing with the Transformers animated movie's 35th anniversary, Ultra Magnus is set to hit retail. This Earth Mode version is a retool of the Ultra Magnus that was released back in Siege (and in the Netflix subline with a new deco). This retool brings the robot mode (and the inner white prime robot mode) back in line with the G1 toon, and the alt mode recieved work.

Fellow Seibertron user, PrimeVsPrime has managed to secure one and has reviewed it for the world to see.

Check out the embedded review below:



Thanks to Seibertron user, Tuned Agent, for sharing this news.

Will you be getting this Magnus? Or are you planning on sticking with the Siege, or even Combiner Wars, versions of the character?

Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'll be sticking with all of them because Magnus.

Same.

Very first thing: I love the cab robot in robot mode. Looks great. If I end up getting this, that will be the reason.

Only question is, is the rest of the figure worth it? Because I agree with the review, the truck mode is horrible. Looks good from the front, but that's it. During the review I was even wondering if he had put the trailer on correctly, as the Siege version was further up to the cab where it covered the hands and forearms and the shoulder pieces actually touched the back wheel assembly.

Speaking if the shoulder pieces, I think reversing the paint process from the Siege version made them look much worse. I do like the clean look of the chest better, but if I get this, I'm not sure if I'll display it combined. I might try putting together 1 great looking figure from both versions, which have their pros and cons. Fuck that accent is annoying...

I like robot mode, but hoo boy, truck mode is rough. The arms and hands out the back of the cab look as bad as the stock photos suggested (I'd hoped that maybe it was mistransformed).

I think I'm going to stick with POTP Magnus, which, while not a perfect G1 representation, is close enough for my liking.

I now have the Kingdom voyagers (wave 1) and while I remember people being wowed by Primal, I am far more impressed by Cyclonus. Primal brings very little new to the table and I have issues with how they made the legs and knee joints, I don,t see the benefits in making overcomplicated as they did. I am also not a fan of how the gorilla head can't be moved up or down much, it makes it look awkward in the standing up poses.

As for Cyclonus, I am beyond amazed at what they pulled off in a standard voyager. That spaceship nose transformation is one for the ages. For years, the generations line, while great, didn't wow me too much with transformations since they were always based on the original toys, transforming in similar ways. But man, this really surprised me. This list is going to have to be redone: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... des/35054/

Cyclonus is the best of the entire first wave for me. The cockpit magic they have going on is incredible and the transformation is probably one of the best since TR Triggerhappy.

I do still like what they did with Optimus Primal, but he was always going to be just an okay figure for me since you really can't do too much transformation-wise when all 4 gorilla limbs are also the same 4 bot limbs. I actually do appreciate what they did with the knees so that you can use either a 4 legged or upright posture in gorilla mode. Yes, they are probably more complicated than they need to be, but you really can't do too much else within the limits of the transformation.

I take most of that knee articulation thing I said back. For some reason, I didn't see the upright gorilla segment of the instructions (which by the way are a big improvement over previous instructions). The tab isn't strong for the robot knee joint to be solid though so that issue remains. But I get it now, all good.

And I just transformed Megatron and what I experienced is something I never ever experienced before. I have transformed the original toy more than any other figure and it is my favourite childhood toy, by FAR. The MP transformed the same basic way with slight changes (and a whole new complexity to panels). So when I was transforming Kingdom BW Megatron (without instructions), I came to a point where the figure made no sense to me. The torso changed axis, the head was one way, the tail another and you tuck the head in but how can I get the torsoto reorient upwards?! It just didn't seem possible. That's when I realized that it's because that part of the transformation is flipped upside down. It was a really topsy turvy time for me. But fun. And most of the tabs work well, I don't have any issue with this new Megs as a toy, through there are a few design choices I would change but then again we already have more accurate versions anyway so I welcome everything the design team tried out here.

I had a bit of that "topsy turvy" feeling with ER Scorponok's tail.

I hope the Core class does well so we can get a Core-class Galvatron.

I already have Siege Magnus and while this new version is cool, it’s not different enough to warranty me shelling out the cash for another leader class figure.

Same. "Cosmetically somewhat more G1 in altmode" is not enough of an enticement for me, and I slightly dislike the new paldrons and the new blue chestplate section.


Now, if we got a Commander-class Ultra Magnus that could do this for Deluxe Autobot cars (3 or 4 for, depending on whether he's carrying the chestplate or not)..


...and this for Titan/Prime Masters...


...and this for, well, whatever jet you'd like but SIEGE Skyfire would be especially good, while having a separate, Voyager-height cab robot?

That, I'd be interested in.

For me, he's the best figure I've bought in a long, long time... I mean, I'm not comparing him to any combiners, but as a single, regular release, main line figure, he's just so good for multiple reasons.
Now, I don't have a ton of figures from these recent lines, and I haven't opened my Netflix Soundwave yet, but for me:

1. Kingdom Cyclonus
2. SS86 Scourge
3. ER Seekers


Since I never picked up Siege Magnus, I am tempted by this Kingdom version. In terms of appearance, I do like this one better. I'll do my best to wait until he's on some sort of sale, but if I see him I know it will be tempting. I had the Classics version in the Fansproject armor set but sold it. I still have a sealed Classics 2 pack of him and Skywarp, but I think I'd like to add this new version to my collection.

I just cannot get into Siege or Kingdom Ultra Magnus. They just dont look that good to me. Although the robot mode does look fairly good on the Kingdom one, the alt mode just sucks. I still use Combiner Wars Magnus with the Perfect Effect PC-17 Core Magnus Upgrade cab/robot. Even without the upgrade kit, he is still the better figure. It being more IDW but still fitting in with G1 Sunbow is even great for me. Plus it can carry deluxe cars like I see everyone wanting. I mean what else could you want out of an Ultra Magnus alt mode:

Other day I did get my Primal figure in and he is pretty much perfect. Everything I wanted and more. He has a great look, poses well with great articulation, solid and heavy. They worked in all the shoulder and arm cannons which I was hoping for and he has both swords. Just awesome, and my first real Primal figure(except PotP Throne Optimal) since I missed out on original Beast Wars being in high school and college at the time. He is also one of my favorite characters.

Kingdom commercial!
