Mine is the same. Why they added Ratchets to his hips is a major questions, it is the one weakness that mold has

Now I wanna see someone take a picture of Siege Impactor cowering in fear as he is surrounded by lots of figures of Autobot characters who have borne the name of "Ratchet", and with the image captioned "Aah! Ratchets! My one weakness!"

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Ratchets!!! My only Weakness!!!

Well done! The only thing I would add is an actual ratchet, as in the tool, because I'm a goof.

I had one in the car, and I also forgot my Animated Ratchet. might need to do this again with even more ratcheting

[Stargrave]

Hilarious nicely done sir!

Can't wait to see how you ratchet things up a notch.

I'm sure it'll make a great impact.

Took Spinister and his compatriots to work today. I am really digging both Spin and his buddies. this is a great package!

[LinaNui]

Wow I can not believe that I actually got this! I was waiting for a sale of some sort, but it sold out before that could happen. Thankfully I was watching the amazon listing like a hawk and I was able to catch one when it flashed back to "able to purchase". With this set, I now only need astrotrain, singe, and rung from siege (not counting the selects).

For this set, I do recommend it, but maybe wait to see if it comes back in stock in the coming weeks. I would not recommend this at the prices of it on Ebay ($100-250). Here are a few pictures of it and spinister with shrute.

So I completed my Siege (and Siege Selects) collecting today with Autobot Impactor and Shackwave both on Discount from Amazon. That brings me to having the entire Siege lineup except for Cybertron Prime, who I have no interest in (way too many Prime variants already). On the Selects side, I only skipped Nightbird as I don't really like the mold and already have the Takara Legends one. Maybe if I find her on steep discount (like $10) I'll bite, but probably not. I got Chromia for that price (and already have the T30 one) and am considering selling her off once she isn't on the shelves retail anymore.

I triple-dipped on the regular release weaponizers, Refractor and Smashdown, what can I say, I like to army build.

So after having them all, I actually think my favorite is Astrotrain. I really love all 3 modes, even with the back end of the shuttle looking like someone blew the shuttle bay doors off. The rest of shuttle mode is excellent, and when you fully arm him up, you obscure the back end anyway. Robot mode is great, he is armed to the teeth like, like T30 Roadbuster armed. In fact, he will probably be facing off against Roadbuster quote often. The only flaw for robot mode isn't even on the bot himself but the silly idea of using the rest of the tender as a terrible backpack. Instead I leave the platform shoes on the tender and use it as a sort of skate board, a really slow, treaded skateboard that can pretty much plow through anything.

But the best mode of all to me is the train mode with the tender. It doesn't bother me that there are treads on top of the tender, this train don't run on coal anyway. The only flaw I have with this mode is the very front end and it really is just a nit-pick. With how narrow it is compared to the rest, it was ridiculous to put wheels there. The train would actually need 4 rails on the track then with 2 different wheel spacings. But much like the train doesn't run on coal, it doesn't run on tracks either, so it really is just a nit-pick to me.

So there you have it, Astrotrain has dethroned voyager Prime as my favorite of the line.

[Rodimus Prime]

That's a great visual Kev, and I'm right there with you for most of it, except I didn't get the Micromasters, and I'm passing on a few of the battle masters as well. I still need to get a few of the Selects, but otherwise I have every one of the bigger figures, and I'm happy I decided to collect most of the line. This line is the most complete I have ever done, and I can honestly say that I look at all of it as newer G1 figures.

[Triggerdick Megatron]

Superion and Defensor welcome the newest Combiner to the Autobot Ranks!

Nobody can ever complain about Volcanicus or Studio Series Devastator ever again!

Just wanted to share a good Hasbro experience. I know they get thrown under the bus quit often but a little positive is always good.
I got an Omega Supreme a few months back and finally got around to opening him up last week. Well to my displeasure he was packed with the same two tracks/wing pieces. I contacted customer care about the situation and after a few days and emails they are shipping me a new set of tracks for him. Looking forward to having my Omega Supreme properly complete.

Dude that’s awesome thanks for sharing

Not really into this line as much as other people are, but I did pick up Brunt, and he's pretty cool. Still trying to figure out the best-looking way to attach him to Trypticon, though.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the UV codes from the sides of the packages? I don't have a blacklight, so I can't do it myself.

I'm sure you're talking about base or ship mode, but space is tight so here's how I do it.

I'd have to get him out of storage, but brunt in tank mode slots behind Trypticon's head in Kaiju mode.

I'm sure you're talking about base or ship mode, but space is tight so here's how I do it.

Actually, I was talking about robot/beast mode, but I was thinking more along the lines of wearing him as weapons/armor. I've got a cannon for each arm, but I'm not entirely sure what to do with the hip piece and arm pieces Would have been nice if there were some usable peg holes on Trypticon's head so it'd be easier to make a helmet/crown from Weaponizer bits.

Nice pictures though

Thank you .

I'll try that, thanks.

Edit: Nah. You lose the neck articulation that way and don't really get anything in return. It works as storage space, but it doesn't really take advantage of the whole "weaponizer" thing.

I wonder if Full-tilt can be weaponized with Brunt...

[no-one]

I wonder if Full-tilt can be weaponized with Brunt...

Sorta? He only has one 5mm port on his back, but his hands are 5mm as well. Full-tilt's gun is pegged to the side of the big cannon.



In the pic the purples are a little off, but in person I can't tell the difference. I was even able to sneak a little Earthrise shield action in on the old boy.

Siege II: Earthrise: Rise of the Shields.

Siege is all guns, Earthrise is all Shields, what’s chapter 3, helmets? Only every helmet also...turns into a wall piece. And armor.

[Stargrave]

When I equip any Transformer with a Weaponizer component I have to make ‘ch-chk’ and ‘hss’ sound effects repeatedly like a Brave Series combination sequence. That’s what I get for having combination sequence compilations play in the background too often.

Mechafan problems, am I right?

what’s chapter 3

He also has 1 more 5mm port option if you don't transform the cod-piece fully and use the screw hole in his crotch (I don't like where this is going) to give him a belly (yeah right wiener) gun...
