I'm pretty sure the lens pops off so one mold can serve as all three.
Hmmmmm…… That is a possibility. Making Reflector basically a quadruple changer.
There is no remolding, you buy three of the same figure and mash them together to form the camera mode, they also have individual 'laser cannon' modes
Ao that will make things easier then. Let's hope the stars will align for when I hunt for them, at least 3 are on the shelf AND they are on sale.

Reflector's Shield is 1/3 of the Zoom lens, and his gun is one leg of the tripod. You buy 3 of the same fig, put the accessories together, and slap one on each side of another.
From the looks of things, Reflector has 3 "modes", Robot, laswr gun thing a la CW Shockwave, and camera body component. The outrr 2 look to be identical to the middle component, just spun 180*
Ooh! What if Hasbro did Relflector in the Selects line 8n his Toy colors?
Just to be sure, none of you have a Siege Magnus which has perfectly locking shoulder armour on both sides right? I am referring to that grey piece that is supposed to slot into a shoulder peg to further anchor the shoulder armour. Only one works for me, not sure if its the same for all of you or not.

Both of the shoulder pieces work properly on my copy, the only thing is that it's a total pain to actually get it to lock on. Literally took me 10 minutes to do it the first time & it's not like I'm a weak guy. I'm not the strongest, granted, but still.
You might just need to force it with all your strength, cause that's how I got mine on.

Mine don't, but I just don't bother with them, the shoulder armor can stay on via friction - at least on my copy they can, I just saw the grey pieces as more of a convenience
I am not a G1 fan, please treat my opinions as such.

I eouldnt say mine are "locking" but they are tight enough to keepbit from falling off. I can pretty easily pull the shoulders off sideways though.

Ditto. Mine don’t actually lock into place, but it’s enough to keep them on. They also pull off easily. It’s the one and only gripe I have with that figure.
What a relief to see that Reflector shouldn’t be a problem to collect. This line is pretty much a troop builders dream come true. It’s not easy on the wallet though. That’s for sure.
Randomhero wrote:Yeah and Brawn and Gnaw were listed for thrilling 30 and combiner wars multiple times through out the years and didn’t happen for years till the last waves of Titan Returns. It even shows that online retailers arnt always correct or a name is placed for a different figure. We’ve seen those 2 alone so many times that never turned out to be true until it was a con that revealed them not an online listing when we saw they were real.
In the case of Brawn and Gnaw those figures were canceled outright. It happens, in fact it happened to several Legends figures, not just those two. Legends figures 11 through 17 are unaccounted for with the numbering both picking up and ending with Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper at 18 and 19 respectively. There's five more figures there that we don't know about, but we did know about Brawn and Gnaw. Their existence was confirmed later when either the designer or maybe Warden himself said Titans Return Gnaw and Brawn were not retooled from the figures that were planned for T30 (I really think it was the designer that said that).
So I have to wonder, how long would you have us wait before putting a rumor in the news if store listings aren't good enough? Figures can be canceled at any time including shortly before release so why should we hold off on something that could potentially be big news? Like Will said, 4chan posts are questionable, but a store listing should be more than acceptable, especially when they tend to be reliable source. And to be fair we have a pretty good track record when it comes to posting rumors that come true or (in the case of Brawn and Gnaw) are based in truth.
We may need to rethink how Hasbro is handling War for Cybertron compared to Prime Wars. PW was handled very loosely as a trilogy, it didn't even have an official name until Power of the Primes whereas WfC has had its name from the start and it's on all of the packaging. I suspect WfC will flow smoother from one part into the next which might be why we're getting a full wave 4 in Siege rather than one single wave 4 figure in PotP. For all we know part two of WfC will start with wave 5.

Couldn't tell ya. My kids lost those pieces within a week of me giving them the figure.

They weren’t cancelled. Brawn and game never got announced. They showed up in listings and that’s it. Wasn’t until the end of titans return that they actually got announced and shown
It was called Prime War by the end of of combiner wars. Titans return was the one that changed names late in the game. A lot of early promo stuff a a few months before launched was called Titan Wars.
Kind of hard to praise Hasbro on this one. It’s better I guess than what they have been doing, but you’re still going to have red alert warming pegs all over the place. If Cog’s been any indication Brunt is going to be pretty popular as well and will sell out like crazy and fans will buy all three reflectors and then maybe one Red. So the remaining two will sit there ard the stores won’t restock. Then there’s people who buy cases from online retailers (a small market to be sure). They get the three reflectors and two brunt’s they want keep one Red and flood the secondary market with the other two, further diminishing in-store demand for the figure. It’s PotP Jazz all over again.
Mine is like yours. One locks, one doesn't. And I've tried applying great force to no avail. But like Hellscream noted, the friction of the pieces clipping to the exhaust stacks is enough to keep them on just fine.

To add a very small amount to this convo and just to point out the one piece that allows Refraktor to become Viewfinder, Spectro and Spyglass. The circled piece can pop on/off.
tfwiki wrote:Siege Refraktor (thanks, trademark!) is a single-packaged Deluxe figure based on Viewfinder's robot design, although the figure includes a 'chest module' which presumably allows one to recreate Spectro or Spyglass instead.[1] While each Refraktor bot on its own can transform into an "artillery hovercraft",[2] purchasing three and combining them will allow them to form the classic camera mode. To this end, each Refraktor includes a blaster and a shield which form one-third of the camera tripod and lens, respectively.
Flashwave wrote:Ooh! What if Hasbro did Relflector in the Selects line in his Toy colors?
That would be cool. If so I hope they announce it sooner than later, of course that would blow up their 3 per case strategy.
Okay. I'm impressed. And I don't think I'll wait for a sale to buy this. The irony is that the total price will be one deluxe shy of my Maketoys Visualizer. I mean, price total, including taxes and shipping.

Come see my latest creations, SHATTERED GLASS G1 METROPLEX, HERE!
With War For Cybertron: Siege's second wave steadily marching into stores, we have a new video review for Voyager Class Soundwave! Sent to us by our fellow Seibertronian Maverick Prime and coming from newcomer reviewer Grim Trigger on Youtube, the video goes into considerable detail regarding the figure's detailing in both modes, as well as an intervening step-by-step demonstration of the figure's transformation sequence. Grim Trigger also brings the figure into comparison with his predecessors, Siege Megatron, Hound, Sideswipe and Ultra Magnus, as well as a Marvel Legends Ant Man figure, and admittedly bizarre choice for a size comparison. Unfortunately, Trigger neglects to showcase Soundwave's hidden Lamp-mode, though he does mention it briefly while discussing the vehicle mode.
The video is provided below, so be sure to take a look!
In related news, Soundwave and his fellow Wave 2 Voyager Starscream have both been sighted in Australian retail! Found at a Toyworld in the Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre in Melbourne, Victoria by Ozformers member jroam and shared on the Ozformers Facebook profile, the Decepticon duo were sighted alongside various Wave 1 figures, so it appears these newcomers are only trickling out as of now. If you live in the area, the hunt appears to be on!
As always, be sure to share your finds in your areas sightings forum, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews.

They were planned, leaked, wave numbers were set aside, and their existence was confirmed years later. If that is "canceled" then what is it? Things get canceled internally all the time, an official announcement isn't required.
And again, those TR figures are not the same as the figures that were cancelled, they wouldn't have designed T30 figures to have a play feature from several years later.
It was called Prime War by the end of of combiner wars. Titans return was the one that changed names late in the game. A lot of early promo stuff a a few months before launched was called Titan Wars.
Wrong. All three were going to follow a naming theme of Combiner Wars, Titan Wars, and Prime Wars. Early images showing the name "Prime Wars" at events were referring to the third part of the trilogy. The trilogy wouldn't officially be called Prime Wars until PotP was officially announced.

Situation needed on the claim of them being canceled
But they were calling it prime wars trilogy before POTP title was released. Plenty of places referred to it as prime wars trilogy and weren’t referring it to the third installment

Have some pictures of 2 of the coolest figures in recent Generation years. Optimus is simply perfect, he is my definitive Generations Prime, even though one of his back wheels is on backwards
Shockwave is awesome. This purple is perfect and that light piping is the best ever. Oh and his armored mode is great, and that space battleship mode

Yeah, they're great, I truly feel that you can now divide the tf fanbase into two groups: the one that feels the armor bits make shockwave a huge scam, and the other one that slaps the extra gun-arms onto their shockwave and love every minute of it
