Hopefully we'll get some additional figures from those, like Crosscut or especially Road Rage. I could also see a Generations take on Bulkhead or Strongarm using the Trailbreaker mold.
I had been looking forward to more Cybertronian vehicles, but honestly we got a bunch back during Titans Return. Not counting the tetrajets or Bumblebee, the MTMTE Cybertronian designs kinda sucked.

YES YES YES that is! More precisely, that is Japanese Scorponok, using the more toy-accurate and more detailed Toei Animation character model from The Headmasters...

I saw Scorpinok's the next titan too. So I may actually get another titan! Maybe.
edit: Actually, these don't look too much like remoulded Seige Seekers at all. Which is much better. Makes me want the Seige Rainmakers less, but I may get them anyway since they're all the same height.

Well, didn't the Rainmakers still have tetrajet alt modes?

I see a lot of differences. Looks like the actual alt mode nosecone is in his chest and does not form the shoulder stacks in bot. His hips and thigh swivels look completely different.

Yeah, it was weird how The Rebirth had the human-sized Zarak becoming the full head, helmet and all, of Scorponok. Meanwhile, The Headmasters remedied the issue in that version by not only having Scorponok (as in, the smaller guy, since the larger one was named "MegaZarak") fit inside MegaZarak's helmet like the toy but also by having him be larger than the other Headmasters, about the size of a Minibot instead of a human, allowing MegaZarak's head and body to be proportionally equal in size to those of Fort Max without the awkward size-changing and shape-morphing The Rebirth had to use.Cyberpath wrote:@Sabrblade -- I recognised the Japanese model. That's pretty creative, to blend both. When I watched Rebirth as a kid I found it weird that Zarak transformed into Scorponok's head when Spike transformed into Cerebros' head and that guy into FortMax's head. Of course it was because Scorponok had a smaller toy plus his headmaster was placed in a helmet.

At least at SDCC last year, we got news of pretty much the whole first wave of Siege, hopefully at a panel later there will be photos at least of more upcoming releases. Of course I could still be reeling from 2 years ago when the entire PotP slate was leaked online

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
