Already have Armada OP, he is a great update on the original toy, thou I wish they had used Jetfire's hands on him, or at least that idea, because that one of the best bits about Siege Jetfire's desgin, thou I'm not to keen on his battle armour (Jetfire) mainly the mask, not sure they didn't give him the antena, but then with my copy, I don't bother having the armour on him, while his SG counterpart, is wearing his armour and hanging out with the rest of the SG crew

This sure is a Cybertron Hot shot:

That said, there are some design changes I DO appreciate, particularly the redesigned arms and the slimmer back kibble.

Awaiting comparison shots of it with the original.

Aside from what I can see from image comparison, I feel safe in saying that the new one will be noticeably smaller. That said, Cybertron Hot Shot was a relatively big guy for even a 2005-era deluxe.

Mold DOES lend itself to some interesting alternate decos-
Cybertron Universe Bumblebee (Classics Legends)
Breakaway (TF Universe Getaway)
Excellion (multiple flavors, even)
SG Goldbug (upgrade?)
One of the more interesting ideas I saw bandied was Cyberverse Wildwheel

Oh wow, they actually molded him a clear red force chip when there's no other clear red on him. Proportions are a little wonky but I think what'll keep me from buying this is how green the yellow looks. Hopefully that's just the lighting but if not, eh, I prefer Cybertron Defence Hot Shot

I saw that image in the middle of the night and went right past it assuming it was just the original.

-ZacWilliam, Energon and Cybertron are two of the three TF shows I haven't ever got around to watching...

If you look close, they actually molded it in his clear yellow then painted the backside clear red. You can see it best from the side with the light shining through it:

I never watched Cybertron either. I have several of the toys, as they were what was also on the shelf when Classics started up and I first started buying new TF toys other than Alternators. I would buy anything that could pass as an upgraded form of a G1 character, or the occasional figure that just looked particularly good and fit the Classics aesthetic. As such, I have some nostalgia for the Cybertron Toyline, but not really any for the actual characters.

What little I watched of Cybertron was boringly average as a series. But the toy line? I still hold Cybertron as the BEST Transformers line of the "Anime" or "Revival" era. I ended up with more figures from Cybertron than any single franchise iteration since (Depending how you count War for Cybertron Trilogy).

This is the number 1 thing I look for when these photos get released.
What amuses me (and I agree with the desire for comparison pics), is that...Cybertron came out right before the live action film. That was about TWENTY YEARS AGO. It is quite possible the people posting these leaks...have never had access to the original figures these new toys are designed off of. Transformers 2007 really elevated the bar, but it kind of left that whole "Revival" era kind of forgotten.

More pics, he's surprising a big boy for a modern deluxe. He might not be THAT much smaller than the original...

Time to redo SG Starscream AND Goldbug.

And hell, might as well make a new Galaxy Upgrade OP.

But omg, give me a new Excellion NOW.
