Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

The rocket is made up of everything starting from the left hand going up the left arm into the left shoulder through the torso to inside the right shoulder to the right arm and down to the right hand. It's all one big removable rocket that detaches from the back of the torso.
That and at least the left "hand" slides down into the forearm to compact it into a smaller area

My apartment has somewhere around 720 Transformers proudly displayed in the main living room, I take a different one to work every day. I have no problems with playing with my toys and having the fun with them that they deserve.
You have no idea the random conversations I get at my desk when they see POTP Predaking against Shattered Glass Optimus Prime. Actually helps to lighten the mood a bit; co-workers consider my desk a "safe space" to forget themselves for a bit.

Before I got let go, my desk was full of Transformers and SW Black Series. Not only did they help me get through the day, but they were good conversation starters.

I loved him as a kid and already pre-ordered him from Amazon. I can't wait. It would have been great if he was motorized, but I'm not gonna complain about it.

Forgot I took a (blurry) photo.

Hasbro Pulse:
Before we go any further, I have to ask, does this Omega Supreme figure have waist articulation?
John:
He does, he definitely does. We get that question a lot! “He’s cool, but does he have waist articulation?” It’s funny how much the G1 toy design has influenced people’s opinion. I remember as a kid this guy really throwing down in the cartoon, and he would bend at his waist, and could do all this different cool stuff. I remember playing with the G1 toy as a kid, and thinking to myself, “Wow…not only is it smaller than the cartoon, but it’s definitely not moving like the cartoon.” Fans of Siege know there’s a lot of articulation we built into these figures, and we wanted to make sure that the Titan Class character also had the same level of articulation.
Amazing how cartoon accuracy comes into play here as desirable, whereas some Masterpiece collectors now decry it as a crime.

I'd be more impressed if Siege Jetfire has waist articulation since he has that huge column of jet nose all the way down his front.

I mean, are they
really that small? I got Skythread who is basically a 'deluxe minus' for that line and he's mostly in scale with CW deluxes and a smidge smaller than TR deluxes.
I don't see any problem with the size myself. I have Skytread nextto my Monsterbots. Hee is slightly shorter than them but scales nicely to me..
As for Omega... WWWWOOOOOOWWWW!!!! I zo can't wait for him...

It is tough to tell if he has waist articulation or not. All of the Hasbro digital renders have him mistranformed. The nose of the jet is supposed to fold under the cockpit but it isn't in the official renders (so very Hasbro). The Takara official photos have him correctly transformed, but I can't tell if there is a waist swivel or not.

Are you sure before transformers was popular by bay I read comments from other members cashiers have said are you little old be buying toys any adult who buy toys for collection people who don’t understand them consider them adults being little kids so it don’t matter if toy motorized or not if you have toys in you house for you collection not little kids to touch other adults who are not in your type of collection may look at you as five year old these toys are made for kids not adults by company that makes things for kids not adults

You are talking about two different things, what fans dislike in the MP line is cartoon aesthetic. That's not what's being talked about in what you quoted.

Their is a difference between what Siege does in that regard as compared MP figures. The Siege stuff still has lots of heavy detailing and although it is more show accurate it can still mesh with past generations figures. MP on the other hand has taken such a drastic shift from being a mix of aesthetics to being almost purely G1 toon than people are being turned off since the new stuff doesn't mesh as well.

I picked up my first couple Battle Masters today, and they're cool enough I guess, kinda like a side grade to mini-cons. What was disappointing was something that is either a design flaw or quality control issue. The pegs that are meant to be held in gun mode don't do their job at all, and they end up flopping around all over the place unless the gun is held straight down or completely horizontal. I'm not in full on buyers remorse mode, but I don't imagine I'll be getting any more.
