That is probably the coolest Flywheels has ever been and ever will be. Also, did Cog just use his own arm as a melee weapon? That's awesome.

That's much better! After getting Aimless finally, I went ahead and swapped his arms with Blowpipe to give both much more original toy (and correct character model) accuracy. The gray plastics are a perfect match for lucky Blowpipe. The blue plastics aren't a perfect match for Aimless, though. Still, they coordinate very well with each other and the slight difference in hue I think actually makes Aimless look more defined as a figure, as opposed to having his entire torso and arms all be one uniform color with almost not other paint details or colors to break them up.
I intend keep buying these humanoid Battle Masters up, increasing my cache of weapons blast effects, Frankensteining together a nice Nightstick to go with the upcoming Ricochet, fixing up Firedrive with some proper gray parts instead of the stark white he has now, and using the left over pieces to make some original characters, perhaps. Unfortunatley, I'm at a loss as to how to "correct" Caliburst, other than to buy another Aimless, keep all his parts as factory assembled, and make him Caliburst, lol! The lack of pins on this size class and the modularity of the parts, including the gun barrels, is a customizer's dream come true.

I picked up Ironhide and he's yet another epic figure in this amazing line. So by when can we expect Ratchet? Is he suppose to be a Walgreen's release or is that still TBA?

I was boasting above about how wonderful it was that the Siege Battle Masters were so interchangeable with one another after I swapped around Blowpipe's and Aimless' arms. Well, I found out that it's certainly true of the legs of all the humanoid Battle Masters, but NOT their arms and weapons, thanks to Firedrive. He's got larger ball joints for his shoulders, so the arms from Blowpipe and Aimless won't fit on him (and visa versa). The same goes for the gun barrels, which are also not compatible, due to major design differences. Firedrive's gun barrel attaches via holes that fit nubs on the back of the figure, while with Blowpipe and Aimless, their gun barrels attach via numbs that fit in holes on the backs of their figures.
So, this throws a wrench into a lot of my parts swapping plans. I'm going to have to look into repainting some of these figures instead to make the special characters I want. Does anyone know if these figures are made of the dreaded "unpaintable" plastic?

I only know of one confirmed case of POM or PA (aka nylon): Lionizer's black parts. I can't really tell which plastic is which, but here's a list of the most common types used plus some features:
Plastic on TFWiki.
Finally, POM and PA can still be painted, but with specialised paints I'd imagine. Ask at Game Workshop

Maybe we will further on in the WFC trilogy, along with the '87 Autobot Targetmasters we're still missing (and maybe hopefully the '88 Double Targetmasters).

Well, yes and no? Looking at mine, the gray parts are on a mushroom peg that connect to the black hinge parts. Looks like one could remove the blades but they'd be left with those black nubs on the sides. I haven't tried myself, but I've seen others have done it.Cyberpath wrote:So, are the blades "permanently" attached to Siege Megatron's gun?

I'm hoping too because I've ended up with a mostly-complete set of the original Targetmaster characters via mostly Titans Return (and Combiner Wars for Cyclonus). Right now we're missing an update to the three new Autobot characters: Pointblank, Sureshot and Crosshair. As futuristic vehicles they'd work fine in the WFC trilogy.

Hasbro has developed an interesting conundrum with these. T30 Scoop did come with his 2 TM Partners, but obviously TR Quake did not. Then there's TFCC Needlenose & Spinister that did...but then again they were club exclusives.
I wonder if Hasbro would release 2 TM's in a pack as part of their Micromaster line? If for nothing else to get Quake his partners in some modern form. Then all we would need are modern updates of Landfill & Quickmix, along with their respective TM's.

I think Hasbro would also want to make a new Needlenose and Spinister for the people who couldn't get the Club ones (the majority of collectors), evident with how Needlenose was part of one of the options for the Siege fan poll.

Oh, I see. They're not supposed to come off but they can. I was hoping they could detach/attach like this...
Like, isn't this a major point to the whole Siege line?

Wish it were like that, strange choice from the HasTak designers.
And of course I opened the box right after taking that pic!

Hey guys, regarding Siege Soundwave, would you have preferred his vehicle mode to be this?
Sure, lamppost mode would probably be sacrificed, but I can see this fitting in with Siege. Bot mode is already G1ish, so they could just make bot mode more G1 and probably make the cassettes into bombs
That's not to say that I don't like SiegeWave's vehicle mode, I think it's quite cool.
I have been trying to find Siege Voyager Prime now to use the Target 25% off deal, but he is nowhere to be found now
All I find is Wave 2 deluxes and Megatron, along with the Wave 1 leaders, Battlemasters, and Studio Series.
I swear, this happens to me all the time. Whenever I want something, I can no longer find it

I don't know if it's actual news but I compared two Six-Guns with each other and they have different battle damage. Not like the Optimus Primes and Megatrons who seem to have all the same because those are tampographs (I guess all Voyagers have tampographs for battle damage). And the Deluxes battle looks like actually brushed on. So they are not all the same.

They are not tampographs either, the voyagers have very different amounts from one to the next.
