War for Cybertron Trilogy

War For Cybertron: Siege is a subline imprint of the Generations toyline, and the first portion of the 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 two weapons that can transform, combine, and/or be placed into any C.O.M.B.A.T. posts, 5 mm posts littered all over their bodies, essentially an updated version of the Powerlinx system. Another line-wide feature is battle-damaged paintjobs to fit with the gritty "war" aspect. Returning to this toyline are Micromasters, 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. Replacing the Prime Masters from the last toyline are "Battle Masters", small Targetmaster-type figures that can combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional 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. 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.
