With a new turret and chest piece that actually may work. That work result in new legs as well actually:

With Hasbro's recent penchant forco tools pre tools part sharing to minimize costs, it's certainly possible, but grunts turret is also Brent's legs, so simply retooling the turret is not as easy as simply retooling turret

Thank you for bringing up casting, as that's the only real way to create the arms as a single piece.
What needs to be kept in mind is that casting 3-dimensional objects with a hollow interior, like an egg, can not be done as everything is a heavy solid chunk: you'd have to separate the halves and cast those. Of course that'd require more molds with drives up the cost for material, plus extra assembly. The hollow arms are a necessary evil here.

But, Bumblebee with his saucer altmode has been alluded to as a possibility for this line, so if we get him, he'll probably be in the Deluxe class somehow. Maybe a tiny Deluxe with a big accessory a la TLK Sqweeks.Ultra Markus wrote:what im wondering is wheres the legends class figures, i get the two micromasters = one legends but,
why dont we get cybertronian versions of the minibots how cool would that be
Saucer mode bumblebee is all I would really care for in this line
Besides this is a trilogy maybe one segment will have earth modes and chances are the other guys may show up later

That was Aaron Archer's brand team. John Warden's brand team plays by their own rules nowadays.DeathReviews wrote:Anyone remember, not long ago, when Hasbro ended Transformers Animated, both the TV show and the toy line? They said it was to clear the way for the next live action movie. They claimed that customers and fans would get 'confused' if there were two different lines of Transformer figures on shelves at the same time.
So.... what happened to that excuse?

Yeah, I've struck out on both checking two different Targets here in Maine since Friday (Portland and Augusta). Really want to get my hands on some Siege figures even though I still have a few PotP guys to pick up.

All of the Target stores in the Twin Cities list each figure from Wave 1 as "Out of Stock." If I'm right, that doesn't mean these stores have ever actually had any Siege products "In Stock" as of yet, but the fact that they are showing up in the inventory tracker now may mean they will be getting them very soon, or are at least ready to receive them any time now.

It shows the same here in the Omaha area. I interpret it the same. Not in yet, but ready to be received. By Target.... AND ME!!!!!

How many Transformers lines are there on store shelves now? We got the last of Power of the Primes. We've got the new Bumblebee movie figures. We got the "Studio Series" figures. We've got G1 re-issues. We've got the entire "Cyberverse" line. We've still got the Rescue line, and we've also got "Botbots". And now Siege is turning up in stores. All on the shelves. All at the same time.
Sure seems that somewhere over time, Hasbro got over thinking that customers would get all 'confused' if there were multiple figure lines on the shelves. Not that I'm complaining about the current wealth of choices, but I'm still resentful that they canceled TFA, one of their best shows/figure lines ever, by using a cheesy excuse that they seem to be utterly ignoring now.
