Just ahead of Megacon 2025 panel, we have the official images for the Transformers Age of the Primes Heatwave and Sky-Byte Voyager Class figures.
We saw the pipeline reveals for these characters at Cybertron Con 2024, and they are finally revealed here with both being shown out and in the packaging. Heatwave appears to be a Bulkhead partial. Stay tuned for updates on this and more from panel that will be happening later today.
If we don't get a sticker set and some horns to turn this GS Trypticon into Gigastorm from Toyhax, it would be a bigger waste than Hasbro not just releasing this as Gigastorm with a sticker sheet and some horns so it could be either.
Seriously though, just make some translucent orange horns to replace the translucent orange nose cannon cover. Then have some purple stickers for the central ramp with the silver Predacon sigil, some teal stickers for the spots and some silver and gold highlights for the hips, tail and arms.
But really, how do you redeco/reissue Trypticon and NOT make it Gigastorm? Especially after the overwhelming positive reception for Magmatron. People want some more Japanese Beast Wars love. Gigastorm, Big Convoy, Galvatron, Stampy, Moon, Heinrad, Longrack, Mach Kick. More than just Lio Convoy exists. Skywarp was a fluke as they just didn't want to name it Silverbolt even if Skywarp is a name that's even more known and used than Silverbolt. We have multiple versions of Skywarp and others all the time, we can handle three different versions of Silverbolt a few years apart each.
I can't justify $90 for what looks like an oversized legacy scale figure.
I was excited to hear we are getting Horri-bull and maybe there's still hope for Sureshot, too.
