NYCC: Official Hi-Res Hasbro Product Photos and Info: Transformers and Star Wars Black

Looks like they’re pretty much done with movie stuff already – the next Leader Class figure is Generations Thundercracker.

Legends Huffer reminds me of a Gobot – could his feet be any more obvious in his vehicle mode?
Most of the other new reveals come from the upcoming Robots in Disguise cartoon, and they seem to be throwing out the old “Class” system of Deluxe, Voyager and Leader. We’re getting $5.99 “Legion” figures, $14.99 “Warrior” figures, and $19.99 “Three-Step Changers.” Emphasis is on younger kid stuff, as there will also be scaled-down versions of the “Titan” figures (those cheap, minimal articulation 12″ ones) in a 6-inch, $5.99 scale.
Let’s look at the “Warriors,” which are probably of most interest to older collectors. First, Grimlock.

Optimus Prime – I am not a fan of this design at all. I’d rather flames covered his entire body than this. Also, conspicuous feet again.

And finally, Strongarm.
