Well after months long wait Amazon canceled my order for Dead End, so now I've got to look elsewhere...

Worst case scenario, there's that G2 one that Walmarts are currently selling.

Because the Google does nothing, any nerd here who know what are those faction symbols for Miner Megs?




Thanks.

The search engine in TF Wiki suck. Often, I go through Google. I just add "TF wiki" in my search. But it look like I didn't enter the right terms.

Thanks for the link!

The 10/27 stream that's supposed to start right about now is actually pre-recorded because the Hasbro team when to MCM, and the video got uploaded early to YouTube before getting taken down, so for those who don't mind spoilers the only new thing they're showing today is Commander Magmatron, surprisingly.

EDIT: Video is back up, shot it to news but I'll also post it here if anyone without Premium wants to check it out in the meantime. https://youtu.be/bQDGvr0oGqs?si=AuVWoHvVo5vvuppK
Once I remember how the YT embed works I'll replace it with that, I'm working on it.

The 10/27 stream was actually pre-recorded because the Hasbro team when to MCM London (news on that to come), and you can watch that video below. We get our first look at commander class Magnatron (which yes, confirms Tidal Wave as 2024's Titan). You can watch the reveal below. We also get a look at Code Red, the Stranger Things crossover figure, as well as Legacy Silverbolt. All will come out next year but preorders for Code Red and Magmatron will be up at 5/6 pm eastern, depending on whether you have pulse premium or not.

2 extra things to note:
- Magmatron does have his third Chimera mode
- There is a hint to Big Convoy on Magmatron's box

*squints*
Is that part of Big Convoy I sew in the artwork there?

They absolutely nailed Magmatron here, looking forward to how Tidal Wave turns out though that'll be a few months before his reveal.

Wow. That figure does not disappoint.

Oh

my

God.



That Magnaboss Magmatron is absolutely GLORIOUS!
He will be mine!

He will be mine as well. Glad I held out from buying the original, I have wanted it a long time though.

Yup, its Big Convoy, they adress it in the video

They nailed that Magmatron.

Magmatron looks damn near perfect, well done!

Magmatron looks magmanificent!!!! Instantly pre-ordering that one
Love the robot mode. Love the clean alt modes. Super excited.
I will be getting Big Convoy as well if thats on the horizon for the next year of legacy

Silverbolt still looking good too

*Edited, gotta see its dinosaurcentipede mode now

The long neck doesnt seem to be long enough and is going to need a lot of hasbro offshoot filler pieces. Lack of space marble faction symbols or whatever they were on the original figure aint great too but looks awesome and a definite buy for me.

Man, super excited about Magmatron, he looks amazing! Big and chonky, he looks perfect. Going to order off Amazon in hopes the price gets reduced like Ultra Magnus was, unless there's a good discount on on Target later.

Man I love the variety we have with Commanders of late, from tall bot Jetfire to space dino Sky Lynx, and I also dug the trailer-hauling trio with each character doing something unique like with Rodimus having a battle platform, Motormaster being a combiner, and Armada Prime using a super mode and being from entirely different continuity. So this is an instant pre-order for me.

Got Blackarachina, now Magmatron, all I need is Razorbeast and all my favorite beasts will be in the modern era.

That Magmatron is amazing.

And no spark crystals/"space marbles"? I see at least two. One of the left wing of Skysaur where it should be. The second is on the hilt of the sword where it should be. The third was on the inside of the shield correct? So it's probably there as well and we just couldn't see it.

I obviously see the main sword missile that comes with Landsaur and the two sword missiles that come with Skysaur. I wonder if the two standard missiles that come with Seasaur will also be included.

Most likely I'll be getting two of these. One as Magmatron and the other...also as Magmatron but as a Beast Machines Maximal. T-Wrecks is finally going to have someone to hang out with.

!!!!

Don't know the character, but the combined robot mode is simply epic! Will pick up.

Magmatron looks amazing.

Might not pre-order him immediately though. If he's not due till summer of next year...
Also, I have MP Rhionx pre-ordered for about the same time. not sure I can justify almost $300 bucks all at once on pre-orders.
Will likely have to skip him, and see if I can find him later on sale.
How many people out there are Beastwars Neo fans that know about Magmatron or that remember the Target Exclusive release of him during Beastmachines in North America? Hopefully not many.

Oh it seems the majority is simply loving this....thing!

I once owned the original and he's one fiddly annoying thing to combine. Plus the overall bot is a brick. I sold it to my geek store some years ago.
So, unless you come across the original for cheap, there's no reasons to get it now that the modern version is just around the corner.

-Kanrabat- wrote:So, unless you come across the original for cheap, there's no reasons to get it now that the modern version is just around the corner.

Unless, of course, you're building a vintage collection. I still want the original to go with my vintage collection and the new one for my modern collection.

This looks so good I really want to see Magnaboss and Tripredicus made, but I think they could sell those as individual figures that combine rather than taking up a Commander slot.

Obviously, for a vintage collection.

As for Tripedacus and Magnaboss, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to make them as a Commander boxset simply because the bots have each a robot mode. Add the fact that it would be at least two deluxes and a voyager for a set, plus accessories, and the Commander budget is busted.

What I would like to see is that each bots would be released individually as two deluxes and one voyager... and make them compatible with each other! This way, we could create some original abomination by mix-n-matching Trippy and Magna parts! It would be fun and logical to make them this way.

And while we'll have this new system, why not make an original character or two or three to make a new combiner and to add a bit more possibilities?

Uh, two Deluxes and a Voyager costs US $85 while a Commander is $90, well within budget. Plus there's no reason for a set to be restricted by price classes, both Prowl and Cicadacon can be inbetweeners like the originals. More than a Core but less than a Deluxe.

But again, I don't think that's the right way to go anyway, they should be individual releases like most other combiners.

Though if you want to get picky, Menasor could be considered Motormaster's super mode with the way he was built.

Otherwise I agree, it's great to see the commanders so far being versatile. Next new(-ish) concept? Overlord.

Preorders are now up for Transformers Magmatron. We have a link to Amazon below buy he should be available at your gavourite online retailer soon. Code Red sold out really quick on Pulse but will be available at Target eventually... maybe (nothing is certain anymore, as seen with SS 102). Official Images for both these reveals are below. For those wondering, Magmatron is 3 prehistoric animals that combine/partsform into one robot. They can also connect to make one chimera like creature, same as the original figure. The full product description is below.

And while we'll have this new system, why not make an original character or two or three to make a new combiner and to add a bit more possibilities?

I personally re envision them combining similarly to the GO! Shinobi and Samurai teams. Just without all three being able to become all three parts of the combined form. So I guess more like Rail Racer. So the top is only the top, the middle is always the middle and the bottom is always the bottom. I also wanted all five combiners in on this too. I go back and forth about adding Magmatron but since he's a multibot and not a combiner, I left him out.

Prowl, Ramhorn, Gekisoumaru, Kenzan and Railspike would all form the arms, upper chest and head. I'd also put Seasaur here if adding in Magmatron.

Silverbolt, Cicadacon, Hishoumaru, Jinbu, Rapid Run and Optimus Exprime would all form the torso and backpack. This is where Skysaur would go.

Ironhide, Sea Clamp, Sensuimaru, Ganoh and Midnight Express all forming the legs and pelvis. Landsaur would be here.

This is the configuration for GoKenzan and GoGekisou as well as Rail Racer. It also mostly lines up with how Magnaboss and Tripredacus work. This way they can all be interchangeable with each other. It can also leave some to be retools of each other too as there's two birds and two trains in the center and two lions on top.

From there they can go on to redeco and retool into existing and new characters for more combinations as you said. Maybe at some point make a Kenzan and Gekisoumaru that form just legs so they can form DaiKenzan and DaiGekisou along with Optimus Exprime. Or just make versions of all seven of them (or all of them in general) that can each become one of the three spots on the combiner. So we can create a three stack combiner with all pieces being the same bot. Kind of like what can be done currently with Hishoumaru.

Each figure only becoming one part of the combiner as it's most likely way too difficult to get them to have all five modes look good. At least this way they's only three modes for each figure. That to me just seems more easily achievable.

Just my thought on what you said. Been in my head for a while.

I would really, REALLY love this.

Maybe for the next "Trilogy"?

Seeing this pic makes me realize something. Despite his name, Big Convoy is actually supposed to be the exact same height as both Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal. If we do get a new updated Big Convoy figure at the correct height he is supposed to be at, then he won't really be as big as his name implies.

Wow, Magmatron is a giant! I thought he'd be priced more on parts count and complexity. Now I wonder how he'd look with MP Beast Megatron...

Man that Magmatron looks great but he is really almost identical to the original. I dont know that I really need to get...

oh he's THAT big...

Mr. Thunder-thighs definitely doesn’t skip thigh day.

I still think Magmatron could have been a tall leader instead of CC, but it is what it is... The toy looks great no doubt about that, but I really wonder how much better it will be than the 1999 original? Hopefully the Generations team has implemented many of the connection tabs they are famous for, to secure parts in place. Still Its hard to imagine a toy I paid maybe $40 (The Takara import at the time) as well as the Beast machines "Dinobots" subline Target exclusive in 2000 for around $25, now paying almost $100 for a slightly improved version... but time will tell.

Also its hard to believe in the series BW Neo, how hardly ever Big Convoy and Magmatron were in the same frame together. Here is one from episode 6. They were so tiny as it was a wide shot. I had to bring them closer together. Keep in mind, Optimus Primal (season 1 version), Lio Convoy & Big Convoy are all approximately the same height. If BC comes up to the middle of Magmatron's chest he isn't that much bigger. About the same as BW Megatron S1 size advantage over Optimus Primal.

Also, I'm sure there are some skirmishes between BC and Magmatron later in the series, but he kind of gets overshadowed by Unicron (using Galvatrons body from the previous series) in the last arc of the BW Neo. Also if you see that Galvatron, keep in mind Unicron has increased his size quite a bit. BW II Galvatron was another bot that was big... but under normal circumstances wasn't giant (he occasionally was hopped up on Algomois which did increase his size on a few occasions).

That was 25 years ago. And now, that 40$ is now 74$, which is pretty close to the Commander price.

I once owned the vintage. It was very fiddly to combine and was pretty much a brick. The new one will be bigger, on scale with the WFC crew, and will pose well. As for the fiddly factor, that remain to be seen.

If you still have your original Magmatron, it will be fun to have pictures comparing the old VS the new.

That's an age-old lie that this fandom has been spreading for the past 24 years.

Unicron was not resurrected in Galvatron's corpse. He was resurrected in an energy body made of his own Angolmois Energy, and which he could physically shapeshift into any form of his choosing. He chose to shape his energy body into the likeness of Galvatron in order to trick Magmatron into thinking that he really was Galvatron and not Unicron. It was part of a ruse. And once that ruse was over, Unicron simply chose to continue keeping his energy body in the likeness of Galvatron just because.

Given those scale charts, I think Big Convoy should be a leader, similar to Beast Megatron in terms of bulk. Plus, he needs the mass of the class for his Big Cannon!

Magmatron really does look incredible. It is possible he can beast out Armada Optimus for best commander.

And, seeing as I own the original, he looks to be a huge step up over the OG. He has pretty much all the same "gimmicks" if you can call them that, while also hopefully being much more sturdy and can actually pose.

Check it…
Rise (Reactivate) OP. He is packaged with a deluxe class Soundwave.

Hmmm not something I like enough to buy but not too shabby. Soundwave will be the make or break

Were's that Optimus from?
From what universe I mean.

We knew a repaint of the core class Volcanicus combiner as Dinoking would be coming, it was hinted at since day 1. But it's nice to finally have that listing though. As assumed, it will be released as one combiner and not individual components/dinos. The listing has it as a Pulsecon exclusive. Speaking of exclusives, we also have an update for Walmart's 2024 exclusive Legacy subline with the addition of deluxe Cannonball. Those listings were found by JTPrime17 along with a listing of a Target exclusive Optimus Prime toy styled in Target colours, the next GI Joe Transformer crossover figure and 2 more classic heroes figures, which are the Rescue Bots styled figures.

If anyone else besides me was holding out on this set in the vain hope for a decent Monstructor, there's an upgrade kit coming for the Volcanicus version that greatly improves it's appearance. To me, anyway. Not sure how the colors would mesh with the Dinoking colors, but here it is.

Just wait for the inevitable Dinoking-colored version. This company typically makes releases for each different-colored version of the figure it makes kits for.

One gift set? 'Bout damn time.

Did anyone have luck finding all 6 Dinobots at regular retail? It seemed like every Target around me somehow skipped the first pair, so I stopped caring when the other 4 showed up.

Maybe unrelated but stranger: for a week or 2, RotB Core Arcee was in every Target I checked, but apparently street dated and unpurchasable. Never, ever saw one after that, period, so IDK if fast-acting collectors pounced in every store right on said date?

Sorry if I'm asking something that's been common knowledge for months, but ever since Core Class became a thing, its distribution has seemed particularly odd. Was it just after-effects of all the pegwarming Shockwaves at the beginning? Never thought I'd be so glad to see such small TFs get rereleased at a higher price point.
