'''''War For Cybertron: Siege''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the first portion of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in mid-[[2018]] at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], ''War for Cybertron: Siege'', in keeping with the installments of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', features a line-wide [[gimmick]]: weaponry. Most Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures each come with at least one or two weapons that can transform, combine, and/or be placed into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] posts, [[5 mm post]]s littered all over their bodies, essentially an updated version of the [[Powerlinx]] system and Takara's previous [[Arms Micron]] play system. Another line-wide feature is battle-damaged paint jobs on Deluxe-and-up figures to fit with the gritty "war" aspect.

Returning to this toyline are [[Micromaster]]s, which are bundled in two packs, replacing the Legends Class of the last half-decade, and are now able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, who can turn into cassettes or be used as a shield with fold-out pegs.

Replacing the [[Prime Master]]s from [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|the last toyline]] are "[[Battle Master]]s", small [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]-type figures that can combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional [[Fire Blast effect|"Fire Blast" effect pieces]] that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Each effect part attaches via a 3 mm hole, or in most cases, 5 mm posts too.

Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers," which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Leader Class figures are very similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in which smaller figures come with additional armor that can be added to vehicle mode or robot mode to increase their size to become the height of a Leader Class figure. This is likely due to robot mode [[scale]] playing a much larger role in this series than in the past, with characters sticking reasonably close to their relative heights in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the original cartoon]].

The boxes of the figures have black-light revealed [[Alphabet#Generation 1 alphabets|cybertronian script]] on them which can be put into the "[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-ca/teletraan1 Found a hidden code?]" game on the Transformers website, which unlocks various images, stop-motion videos, and [[Teletraan I|Teletraan1 Data Files]]{{sic}}.<ref>[https://youtu.be/q8jie0CnCJA Official Hasbro video showcasing the feature]</ref> They, along with the instructions and ''Siege'' webpage<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/siege ''Siege'' webpge]</ref>, also introduce a [[Insignia/War for Cybertron Trilogy|military insignia system]] for the Autobots and Decepticons.

''Siege'' was followed by ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' in [[2020]], as well as a concurrently-available [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#NetflixToyline|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline]] based on the [[Netflix]] show of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|same name]].

====''Selects''====
Following in the footsteps of [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Arcee]], [[Grotusque#Generations|Grotusque]], and the three ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' "Special Edition" figures in 2018, Hasbro debuted a special edition ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' deco of Voyager Class Megatron at [[Toy Fair 2019]] to celebrate the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. Announced at New York [[Toy Fair 2019]], Combat Megatron was exclusively available in the United States via online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Entertainment Earth]], [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]'s [[eBay]], and Hasbro's new replacement for the Hasbro Toy Shop site, [[Hasbro Pulse]]. This was the first in a line of redecos catering to fans.

Like ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', and ''[[Studio Series]]'', [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''Transformers Siege'' (トランスフォーマーシージ) toyline sees their new "brand unification" strategy in full effect. As such, Takara ''Siege'' toys are completely identical to their [[Hasbro]] counterparts, just released in different waves and given new "ID" numbers.

==Notes==
[[File:WFC-Siege-SDCC-2018-Poster.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*When the toyline was announced at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018, Hasbro distributed 2 posters with blacklight-revealable messages.
**''"LIGHT THE [[Darkest hour|DARKEST HOUR]]"''
**''"ACTIVATE OPERATION COUNTERSTRIKE"''
**''"AUTOBOTS THE HOUR IS UPON US"''
**''"SEEK THE STRATEGIST"''
* While not branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', the IDW ''[[Transformers (2019 comic)|Transformers]]'' comic series that commenced in 2019 extensively uses contemporary toy designs; consequently, numerous main characters appear in ''Siege'' toy designs.
*The names of many individual figures from this line were revealed by listings on [[Walmart]] and [[Amazon (website)|Amazon Australia]] prior to being formally unveiled by Hasbro at conventions.
* ''Siege'' toys debuted at the tail end of October 2018 with the Voyager Class available from U.S. comic stores and private dealers, followed up by Battle Masters at [[Target]] on November 4, 2018.
* Deluxe Class Red Alert was accidentally revealed by Hasbro by being featured as the "core" figure in the [[stock photography|stock CG render]] showcasing the use of Brunt's Weaponizer parts released during New York Comic-Con in October 2018. Full on stock renders were found on different websites, such as [[Target]] and [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] leading to New York [[Toy Fair 2019]], midway through February, where his existence was finally acknowledged.
* Although battle-damaged paint is one of the distinguishing features of the ''Siege'' imprint, it seems that Hasbro's dedication to it is pretty tenuous. The Voyager Class toys are the only ones that seem to receive any significant amount, while Leaders hardly get any and Deluxes range from little to none.
** Many buyers attempted to remove the battle damage paint using isopropyl alcohol. The effectiveness of this treatment varies from figure to figure. The deluxe scale figures often had minimal drybrush-applied paint that cleaned off easily, while the voyager scaled figures, which had the battle damage paint printed onto them, were much more difficult to clean. Some figures, such as Soundwave and Springer, had battle damage paint applied directly over their deco paint, which meant ruining the deco in the effort to clean the battle damage.
* Starting with this toyline, many of the Deluxe and upwards figures are downsized, the Leaders (plus additions) either being just a head short of a Voyager class figure from previous lines, or simply being Voyager core figures sold with extra parts to make up the price point. ''Siege'' also features a heavy focus on [[articulation]], with common standards found on Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures being waist joints and ankle pivots, something which the following lines continue to feature. According to [[Shogo Hasui]], this is to ensure that the feet of each toy can stand whilst holding gear from the C.O.M.B.A.T system.
* It was decided that ball and socket joints were not up to the task of bearing the heavy load of the weapons that are created by the C.O.M.B.A.T system play pattern. As such, most of the articulation utilizes pinned or "mushroom cap" joints (though balljoints are present in smaller figures and the necks of larger ones). This created the challenge of balancing part count as well as maintaining parts that were important to the transformation and basic structure of the molds.<ref name="hasui interview">[https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1812/07/news106.html Interview with TakaraTomy head of Transformers marketing Kenichiro Okabe and designer Shogo Hasui]</ref>
* Thanks to the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] play pattern of adding weapons and armor to figures, it was decided to go with a war-torn aesthetic for the toyline, which included taking design cues from ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2]]'' and the addition of battle damage.<ref name="hasui interview"/>

The "'''War for Cybertron Trilogy'''" is [[Hasbro]]'s designation for a [[subline imprint|segment]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Transformers: Generations]]'' line that launched in late [[2018]]. Like the preceding ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', "War" is primarily based around the toy lines that make up the trilogy, and will be accompanied by a [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|tie-in cartoon series]] and possibly tie-ins in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s comic books.

The first installment of the trilogy, ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', is set during the final days of the Transformers' civil war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], reimagining classic characters to give them Cybertronian [[alternate mode]]s and battle damage deco. The second installment, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', takes place during an interstitial period as the Autobots and Decepticons travel through space, seeing many gain Earthly vehicle modes, while also introducing space-faring characters such as the [[Quintesson]]s and [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. The toyline also focuses on modular base-forming with the [[A.I.R. Lock System]]. A third installment, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'', concludes the trilogy and features the return of the [[Maximal]] and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] factions from the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' franchise, and sees the addition of a new(-ish) size class, Core.

In keeping with installments of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', the ''War for Cybertron'' lines feature a unified, line-wide [[gimmick]]: weaponry. All figures are now compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], with Deluxe Class-and-higher figures being littered in [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]]s to facilitate being armed up with any combination of compatible weaponry. In keeping with this, the ''Siege'' and ''Earthrise'' [[Battle Master]] and [[Micromaster]] size classes form modular weapons, as did the introduction of [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]s, [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]]s, and [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|Fossilizers]] figures which could be disassembled into a variety of 5 mm compatible weapons and accessories.

==Cartoon==
{{main|Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)}}
A ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' animated series premiered in mid-[[2020]]. The series is produced by [[Rooster Teeth]] and animated by [[Polygon Pictures]], and focuses on the origins of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. [[F.J. DeSanto]] acts as the series showrunner, with [[George Krstic]], [[Gavin Hignight]], and [[Brandon M. Easton]] as writers. Three seasons of the show are planned for release via [[Netflix]], one for each of the franchise's three lines, beginning with a first season of six 22-minute episodes based on ''Siege''.

==Comics==

While not branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', the [[IDW Publishing]] ongoing series ''[[Transformers (2019 comic)|Transformers]]'', and other concurrent comics set in that universe, makes extensive use of contemporary ''Siege'' toy designs wherever possible.
