I'm talking about the hole in his body everyone hates, it lets you see through him cuz his windshield is clear; in the official shot you can see the white background, and in your pic, you can see the white of magnus' leg through him

And I'm saying you're wrong, the inside of Ironhide is silver, what looks like the white backdrop inside his chest is just bad photo lighting reflecting on the silver plastic on the inside of his back.



You can not see through the figure.

Oh my god, you can literally see through ironhide

Camera trick, the lines you're seeing aren't on the window.

There is no hole in the back.



If there were a hole, you'd see the cardboard backdrop through the window.

You can't see through him like Emerje said it's just a camera trick.

Edit: damn beat out twice!

I wonder if I could place a small figure in Ironhide's chest as a "pilot"?

[Emerje]

You can't see through him

This is the only complaint people have about his torso, the hollowness of his back, but he's definitely not a donut.

Definitely an easy mistake to make, it's a terrible photo. As far as the back goes I'm fine with it as long as it serves a purpose. Like if the head goes there in alt mode then okay, but I'll admit if it's hollow for the sake of hollow then I'll be annoyed.

Edit: just realised that you can clearly see the head in the stock images so obviously it doesn't tuck into the back but it can still serve some purpose.

I hope Repro makes an old timey Diaclone face sticker we can put at the back of Ironhide's cavity.... and as I write this I find myself wondering if his head can fold down into the cavity to make a sort of G1 derp mode.

You know, I really don't like that Prowl. I don't like the way he looks in either mode, something is very off. And plus I already have a CHUG Prowl that fits the bill well enough (combiner Wars Prowl with that wicked headsculpt). Since I am also not getting Chromia, its not like I was completing the line anyway. If I want to experience that mold, I will simply get Barricade. Plus in my collection that will make him more unique as being a crossover figure and not just a Prowl clone.

For me personally I think there's too much white. I know Prowl is supposed to be white but there's a bit too much. The headlights don't help that either by also being white but with a small splash of yellow. I would've preferred if they were that bluish silver from the CW one as it would've helped to break it up. Also the off center auto badge bugs the crap out of me, but that might just be me.

I will still be getting him because overall I think he looks good, I'm just hoping toyhax helps us out.

[Overcracker]

you're right, they did kinda give up before they finished transforming it.

Hmmmm….
In that case, I'll wait for someone competent and not lazy to transform that Soundwave properly so that we see what he really look like. Because having Ravage and Lazerbeak in a convenient two-pack is a pretty good incentive.

I wonder if the Boombox mode would be compatible on this?

I'm sure you can find a way to move his limbs to approximate a boombox.

However, what he does have is a StreetLamp mode. Better than a boombox in book.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

As soon as I get Stakeout, he is headed straight for my Wreckers shelf.

And dang, I love that Pteraxadon. The animals are making the best Battlemasters so far!

[Bounti76]

Looks like Ravage isn't skipping arm day.

[Skritz]

I have plans to make Pteraxadon the weapon for my POTP Grimlock.

Blue transparent plastic would have helped break up the legs too. Prowl is easily the least successful of the Siege Deluxes so far. I'm hoping Reprolabels can come through and correct some of the missing paint/sticker details.

Damn that was fast! I just got my shipment today. Feels good buying Transformers deluxes for 9 bucks again.

Like pumping your gas for under $2.00 a gallon!

[Dr. Caelus]

Missed out on the $9 deluxes but at least I have all the Micromasters now. Roadhandler and Swindler make good boxing gloves for Sideswipe.

Still reminds me of the X-Bomber...

Someone's about to bring some serious technological purity!

You got that right, Skritz!

Siege Shockwave's cyclopean eye has finally been spotted in Target at U.S retail by Twitter user @Jwilson011895 in Georgetown, central Texas. Joining earlier sightings his wave-mates Battle Masters Firedrive, Lionizer and Blowpipe with Deluxe Sideswipe, Cog, Hound, Skytread and Voyagers Optimus Prime and Megatron. This also means Ultra Magnus is out in the wild, too, being Shockwave's Autobot Leader-Class wave-mate. Mirrored below is the image from @Jwilson011895's Twitter, whilst the original post can be found here.



Have you also snagged Shockwave at retail yet (and not posted a sighting), has he eluded your hunt or did you snatch one up via an online retailer? Let us know below and discuss the current Transformers War For Cybertron: Siege range on our own Energon Pub forums here on Seibertron.com.
