No, I didn't either. As previously mentioned, I don't like Transformers written as people in Robot Suits, that would apply to being drawn as such too.

After seeing someone else use CL/Ciel as a canon for Hound, I decided to track one down and try it myself. Regular CL was too pricey on eBay so I grabbed the shadow version. I think it works great!

CL? What is that?

CL? What is that?

An Arms Micron, a TakaraTomy addition for their Prime Robots in Disguise releases. Instead of their regular weapons (barring some exceptions) and paint, they come with snap-together kits and stickers, making them similar to the so-called "candy model kits", just without the icky gum.

Overall, they're split in 2 main groups:

- Autobot ones take regular robot forms, and their names are based of their partners'. C.L. for instance is named for Cliffjumper, being modeled after his triple-barreled guns.
- Decepticon ones take animal forms, and have names based on them. For example, Megatron's Fusion Cannon changes into a gorilla called Gora

Plenty of 5mm ports and pegs on those guys, so they're perfect for Siege.

Ah thanks Jelze

Wrong thread. Those two aren't Siege news. Over here.

Yes, that's the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive Legends LG-EX three-pack that was revealed back in September.

I mean, that's pretty clearly Siege Optimus so I fail to see the issue

Oh, damn, I thought it was something new and cool.

Uh, no it isn't. That's a 3rd party toy based on IDW Perceptor.

I know, sorry. Sarcasm is hard to convey through text

[Ironhidensh]

Wait, did we know there was a Star Convoy coming out in Siege? 'Cause there is one in that picture....

Legends, not Siege.

Remember, Takara's showing off ALL of their new products at this event, not just those that they share with Hasbro.

Armada Convoy appears to be a new mold, but that's a topic for that thread.

We all know Skyfire was bigger than most autobots back in the G1 show, but do you remember how much he truly towered over everyone? We have some images from the show below for reference to show that this new Siege Jetfire toy is playing for keeps with Hasbro delivering us a bot which is truly in scale. Or is he too big? You'll let us know. The images come from @Chohenken on Twitter where we can see both the robot mode and alt mode. We only see him with his Macross style face though. These were taken at Wonder Festival 2019 Winter in Japan.

Here is the product description as well:

The WFC-S28 JETFIRE figure stands at 11 inches in robot mode and converts into a Cybertronian aircraft. JETFIRE figure comes with 2 JF-25 HS Photon Missile Sky Launchers, 2 HS Photon Missiles, 2 JF-15 HP Jetboost Particle Beam Cannon, 2 SF-M2 Radiograph Boosters, Skyshield Aerial Armor, and Skyshield Battle Mask accessories. Use weapon and armor accessories to convert figure to C.O.M.B.A.T. READY mode. Figure features multiple C.O.M.B.A.T. System weapon ports to attach weapons, enabling custom configurations in bot and vehicle modes. JETFIRE has a special feature where Deluxe figures’ (each sold separately, subject to availability) attach to jet mode so fans can imagine them being deployed into battle from above. Adult fans nostalgic for the original TRANSFORMERS animation and kids discovering classic characters for the first time can share and experience exciting play patterns for all generations.

Update: We have some more pics courtesy of the Snakas Blog.

I legit can't believe this completely escaped being leaked, and I really love it even more for the fact that this feels like an actual reveal - a surprise even - something we haven't gotten from a line in quite some time, this is great
