So besides having an absolute hoot trying out this sweet game with Curly La Juan, lot's of other hustles and bustles have been going down in the Busytron.

Like this RAD AS HELL City Commander!!!

O. M. G! This Magnus is the bomb.com! This is the one figure from Siege wave1 I have been pining for the most. Ironically the last one I picked up.
The inner bot fig is dope, and the armored up mode is perfect. Magnus is probably my 2nd favorite Autobro of all time. Despite some common complaints, the size does not bother me at all, and I'm really digging all the sculpted techno-greeble.
Only to little things that I find to be negatives. I'm not a fan of the feet being perma-angled into an A-stancs. I can see why they did it, but I feel like they could have found a way around it. The other is he can't really carry cars in alt mode. At least not deluxes. They can perch on top, but nobody is goin inside the trailer cage.

But guess what! I'm already over it!

Loving both these Leader toys.

I really like SW's armor. It just adds a fun new dimension of play, and I really appreciate that the bits are intended to be a thing when not in use.
Some of my favorite toys as a kid were non transforming robots with armor. It alone is a gimmick I love.

Get out of my city!

Battle Buffalo wanted to hang out too.

I am gonna have to set aside some serious play time with Buffalo. I haven't really had the time to dig in.
SO MANY MODES! SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!

So what makes it a "buffalo"?

News Credits: 41 · Sat Jan 19, 2019 2:25 pm

Not sure why buffalo. My first guess is Japan's strange use and assimilation of English words? :lol:

Big, imposing animal?

You really got me.

Here's the original toy.

Nothing about it screams bison either.

But I can tell you this. I think the name is BAD ASS BAROCUS! :MR-T:

While commanding Fort Max in city mode, and caught off guard with his trailer too far away, Magnus and Cog improvise an armored mode.

...with Cog skates!

The battle heats up!! And Magnus is making the most of his friend!!

Not yet, but I'll get there. ;)^

Somebody posted a pic of Skytread rocking Shockwaves's bits in the Siege thread. Looked fun!

Yes! You do! And I'm sorry it took so long.
A lot of **** has hit in the 'Tron lately. :BLACKEYE:

Iron Factory Rush Beats (Jazz)

Great little Legends scale Jazz here! Slick alt mode with it's own little flavor. Feels like Jazz well enough with out being a Porsche. Standard but great transformation. His torso does this nice mass shifty accordion thing to elongate for car mood. Real smart and well executed on such a tiny thing. As always with IF stuff the materials are top notch. Robot mode is hella articulated and looks fantastic.

Hands down another awesome release from Iron Factory. :APPLAUSE:
