This may be a little pointed, but I think the fan obsession that they're not going to be able to get a set of three Refraktors is completely overblown, and there's no reason to contribute to it further. I know the toy and collectibles industries love to promote scarcity to push people to buy things but ... this is a mass retail release that was only officially released today.

Everyone - cool it.

Shockwave's code: TARN (as in the city he hails from, not the DJD guy)

Has that list been updated?

Is there a thread here on Siebs about this? I've been keeping track over at TFW and I have an up to date list I can share.

Missing any?

Don't think so for Wave 2 and beyond.

Of course we don't :lol:

Well this thread is about Siege so here is what I have (mostly copied from others):

Sideswipe - SUNSTREAKER
Cog - FORTRESSMAXIMUS
Hound - MACCADAMS
Skytread - DUOCON
Optimus Prime - IACON
Megatron - KAON
Ultra Magnus - FORGEOFSOLUS
Shockwave - TARN
Greenlight - LANCER
Chromia - SIIEXXXIITSFAT
Ironhide - TRITHYLLIUM
Sixgun - METROPLEX
Prowl - PRAXUS
Starscream - NULLRAY
Soundwave - LAMPPOST
Jetfire - SKYFIRE
Omega Supreme - CRYSTALCITY
Red Alert - RUNG
Refraktor - REFLECTOR
Brunt - TRYPTICON
Springer - TRIPLECHANGER
Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime - CONVOY

Besides, even if you knew the others the site won't accept them yet. I did get lucky and guessed Springer's code.

Picked up my Brunt! Thank you for the tip, my Trypticon will not go undefended.

Is that just keyboard spam or a misguided attempt to type in Ironhide's accent?

That's... out there, but ok. Dissecting it gives us:

SII: Season 2
EXXXII: Episode 32
TSFAT: The Search For Alpha Trion

You know she’s really rather statuesque it’s her affinity for backpacking and profile photography that throws everyone off. I think it’s actually spelled siiexxiits-phat. Just be careful, try to say it backwards and you could get shunted back to your home dimension.

I decided to hit up the ghettorific Target & Walmart near my work on lunch break. Target had nothing significant. I had my first Springer sighting at the Walmart. Still no wave 3 deluxes though.

Visited a Target earlier and found a Springer. Still debating about whether or not to get him because I love the robot and car modes, but the helicopter just doesn't do it for me

To be honest Springer is perfect to me in all modes as far as his looks. His feet can be a little loose.

Agreed. The feet can be annoying. I'm just glad they can hold his weight.

I'm trying to think of characters who could be remolds of siege molds. Since they are making needlenose and sinister impactor could be remolded into a new quake that will have target master compatability. I can see mirage turned into sure shot and slapdash. Nitro Zeus is going to be needlenose. Punch will be pointblank. Any ideas for Hound? Maybe landfill or Quickmix? Hopefully in the series after siege we'll get an accurate doubledealer. Impactor could be bludgeon or guzzle. Any ideas about how to do modern pretender shells?

Don't get me wrong, he's incredibly G1 accurate which is a plus for those of you that have been waiting for proper updates. But for me, I've always preferred helicopter modes that are sleeker like Spinister or the T30 Springer. So the boxier proportions for Siege Springer don't sit well with me. I'll probably still get him and just headcanon that this was Springer's original body with modifications done by Wheeljack to have a helicopter mode and then he'd eventually get reformatted to the T30 body
