I tell my wife all about it and the camera mode and everything. It's when she says stuff like "Sooo, you realize you have to get two more of them now..." that I just want to remarry her all over again. <sigh>

When I told my wife they were finally doing a proper Reflector figure she said to grab all three as soon as I saw a reasonable price, and that they wouldn't count against my implicit 'budget' for Transformers. Then they revealed the 3 pack with all the proper accessories, and her response was essentially, "Well, now you can display them in camera mode and in robot mode."
We may come to a disagreement about which trio should be displayed which way, though. She rightly points out that the asymmetrical colors on the Recon team's combined form looks a little odd, and thinks I should just put their accessories on the retail version and display the Recon team in robot mode.

I’m not sold that the attachments will look that good on retail reflector

I'm a portuguese Transformers G1 fan. I have some toys from childhood but I want to start a new one.
I'm looking forward for this WFC Siege collection, particularly the voyager class.
I have some doubts, and you guys might help.
1- Is the voyager class a good bet? Short and long term?
2- Should I wait for american limited editions (like walmart Optimus and Megatron) or these voyager "rusty painted" transformers are ok too?
3- Are the sizes compatible with deluxe and titan class? (just saw an Ultra Magnus Leader class and look a bit bigger than it should, near to Prime)
Thank you!! G1 for Life![]()

Yeah, I think the problem is that Hasbro/Takara chose to keep Spyglass' robot mode colors correct, so his legs remain silver, clashing with those of Spectro's, which are black. In the original toy, I think Spectro and Spyglass folded in opposite directions (i.e., one bends forward to "touch his toes" while the other bends backwards to do a "bridge pose." The black shins of Spectro are the back of Spyglass' legs, and visa versa. I suppose they could have retooled Spyglass somewhat to use this trick, but then again, they should have retooled Viewfinder's head too, but they didn't. It's even weirder considering they added extra pieces to make the camera mode MORE accurate, but chose the robot mode deco at the expense of the alt mode deco, even though the alt mode is seemingly supposed to be the big selling point of the boxed set.

Hello and welcome!
1) Voyager is a great bet. It's proven to be a solid class of excellent size and articulation. Detail and paint is good and the weapons are pretty great too. I would probably recommend a deluxe class over a voyager, but voyagers are still really good.
2) The only difference is the paintwork. If you are OK with some extra grays painted on to look like battle damage, the regular release is for you! The only way I could recommend the Walmart exclusive voyagers are if you want cell shading like the 84 cartoon and no battle damage.
3) Yes, Siege was built around scale, so everyone you buy from this line should scale with each other like they did in the original cartoon, give or take a bit of height.

I thought the selling point was to be as G1 toy accurate as possible so extra accessories for the camera and toy colours for robot modes.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

THANK YOU! I'll buy the battle damaged versions anyway, and if someday the limited versions arrive to europe I have always the option to sell these and buy the other ones. But this is more safe
And also thanks for the info about sizes.. that way I can start savings for Astrotrain and Shockwave![]()
Till all are one!

With them all together, those colors kind of balance out in their intensity. Not bad... not bad at all.
