This is a thing Pulse should think about. If they are geared to serve collectors, stands would be an easy sell.
That and accessory / weapons booster packs.

Isn't that what the Weaponizers and Battle Masters are for?

Oh my god I do not like transforming Springer. He is very frustrating to transform. I don’t remember the last time I had to walk away from a mid transformation

Sure, but I need swords! MOWAR SWORDS!!!

Then buy a TLK movie drift, they are probably still rotting somewhere near you.

Aren't both multipacks Leader Class priced? So, 50 USD?

Yes, they both have a leader class price point, we newsed that a while ago. I guess people forgot.

Back to Skywarp... is that a third face mold?

Its the exact same as Starscream's.

You sure? The left corner of the mouth looks different.

Mine still says July right now. It’s fine. I don’t mind. It did get me to take Novastar and Moonracer off the shelf last night. I really look forward to making Orthia if we get lancer. I don’t mind all the same limbs. I think it’ll look pretty cool.

I still really would like this mold revisited or the Chromia one extensively retooled into Rung. It’s got the right kibble and proportions for him. It’s the first thing I thought when I got
Moonracer a year ago. I transformed her a few times and said “this could be Rung”

holy **** yes! to all of this

The right side of his mouth droops down more than the left side. I forgot what facial expressions this is called.

I mean for me I lost it just to see the Punch/Counterpunch scene and Flywheels in the credits. We were playing with dynamic bricks while listening to terrestrial radio on our walkmans it didn’t take much

True and this was hardly different for me during the Beast Era but I imagine kids nowadays just don't see much appeal in inanimate plastic lumps compared to videogames. Don't get me wrong I like both I suspect kids now will never know the fun of going 'Pew pew pew' and popping off balljoints off Waspinator or using cardboard and a G2 Laser Rod Optimus KO (I got from a drunkard uncle and was super happy anyway because having 'an Optimus Prime' during BW was like, magic, man) to re-enact The Agenda Part 3/Optimal Situation.

Y-yeah that...was something I did a lot.

Love that!! awesome story dude.

He would even turn into a stick with this mold

[Ultra Markus]

when will both of these sets be available to order

[noctorro]

Guys guys, holy hell Skywarp set is sexy!
Love Hasbro for just giving us the 3 seekers right out the gate, and also the same mold.

Any of you member Classics? Not getting that Thundercracker for years and the Skywarp was exclusive with Ultra Magnus?

Any of you member Armada Starscream and Thundercracker, lateron getting Skywarp with a remolded face etc.?

Any of you member not getting all the 3 seekers in Animated? Any of you member Prime?

Hasbro is doing is an immensly huge favor to us G1 fans. We get the 3 seekers, we get Ironhide actually looking like Ironhide (Energon/Classics.....). And we will be getting Omega Supreme!

I'm totally won over with Combiner Wars anyway, but HasTak keeps on winning. Great time to be a Transformers fan.

All the seekers in G1 body, voyager sized will be mine!!!

[Emerje]

Hasbro probably doesn't know exact dates, that's up to the seller, but they won't even confirm who's exclusives these are (not easily anyway). They'll probably be displayed at SDCC (3 weeks from today!) and we'll get something solid there unless they show up before then. Hasbro doesn't show exclusives at Toy Fair and without BotCon in the Spring we end up with the long wait until July and then October (NYCC) to get official info on exclusives. The time between October and July is basically a dead zone for official info on exclusives, that's when we tend to get the bulk of our leaks.

I'm still missing a skywarp classics deluxe from the set so this guy might be enticing.

However as voyagers, they're already pricey let alone with the extra stuff driving up the price. The mould remains one of my fave and is marred just by the chest plate popping off issue.

FYI, it's not a set rule

So I did receive Siege Greenlight yesterday and had a chance to open her up and compare against Moonracer and Novastar and noticed a few interesting things.

First, the instructions make zero mention of her being a combiner limb, which is weird especially since Hasbro seems to be specifically making Greenlight and hopefully Lancer to fill our the Elita-1 combiner. I never liked the look of Moonracer or Novastar as legs, so it took me a while to remember exactly how to get Greenlight into leg mode.

The retooled forearms have removed the 5mm port that is on both the Moonracer/Novastar and Chromia versions of the mold, which is weird for Siege. However, the retooled forearms do look a little bit better in leg mode and the Moonracer/Novastar version of the mold, so it looks like Greenlight and Langer will end up being the legs for me.

In car mode (and leg/arm modes) the retooled forearms fit a bit weird together with the rear fenders that form the backpack. Where the Moonracer and Chromia forearm panels tabbed together to the fenders, the arm panels for Greenlight just kind of fit over the fender panels.

And yet at the time it had its own magic. It was the only animated rendition of the Masters we had in the US at the time. Despite its flaws my kid imagination was still captivated by it. Funny enough more than anything the Nebulans looking so goofy was what bugged me most as a kid

Like I said, it was filled with interesting new concept (or rather, toy gimmicks but same thing in Transformers-land!) which were previously unseen, as the G1 toon mainly only had combiners and triple-changers as gimmick characters. The -masters were a different kind of combination completely different from the five/six-bot gestalts and what they combined with was organic/a cyborg. It was a merging of the mechanical and technological which Transformers just hadn't really done at that point beyond maybe Autobot X or the 'Only Human' episodes.

The Rebirth may not seem like much but we could argue this era of G1 set in motion all the elements which would lead to weirder concepts like Pretenders, Godmasters, Beast Wars and Beast Machine!

I think you're mixing up the 'toon and comic depictions. In the comics, the Nebulan's were cybernetically enhanced to transform their bodies into the heads of the bots and cons. In the 'toon, the heads of the bot's and cons were converted to transforming exosuits, which effectively made the Nebulan's mecha pilots.

All of that was by a different brand team than the one we have now.

[o.supreme]

I dont know what you mean, both sets are part of the siege line, sold exclusively on amazon.

OK, so I was RIGHT about Skywarp. I was incorrect about FirestormerAlphastrike Counterforce. I thought it was part of Selects. Now that I know it is also an Amazon exclusive, that makes more sense. (*edit* -Unicron.com has Alphastrike listed as part of the Selects releases...this is where my confusion came from**)

Sorry...its just with all the different release methods for Siege, it gets a little confusing. With this added knowledge, there's a couple ways they coujld go.

Last Year (2018) IIRC the release schedule was:

Blast off (Late June)
Repugnus (Late July)
Punch/Counterpunch (Late August) *or something close to this.

Leader Nemesis Prime was released ON Prime Day.

This Year (2019) we have

Greenlight (Late June)
??? (Late July)
??? (Late August)

Alphastrike Counterforce & Phantomstrike Squadron could be released either of the summer months or....maybe one of these will show up on Prime Day? I'm actually hoping one of them DOES show up on Prime Day, which gives me hope that Lancer is still part of the equation for this summer, maybe a late summer release, rather than having to wait until next year...

I have been collecting since 2014 and in that time we got the following 3 main seekers in all these molds pretty quickly one after another:

MP11 mold
Generations Deluxe
Generations Legends
Generations Leader

So this is just following that trend of getting all 3 seekers.

[Stargrave]

Skywarp definitely is sporting a half scowl. Well that's cool I mean good lord he looks gorgeous but at least they each have a unique face. Swap 'em where you want 'em but at least there's three different expressions I gotta say I love that. And you get a bunch of way fun blast effects in different colors man that's too cool.

[william-james88]

I might be a debbie downer but I really don't share that opinion. I think he looks the worst of the three since his whole motif of black and purple has been changed to grey and moldy. I do want all 3 seekers since I really like that robot mode and transformation, but I will be waiting for a major amazon discount before I get this guy, especially since he comes with extra stuff I don't need.
