Oddly enough I still feel the combined devastator scales about right too; at least as imposing as he was in siege on Autobot City on the movie

It's because of the cartoon's thing of the combiners becoming larger than the sum of their parts.

Very true, the combaticons were particularly subject to that lol. Wonder if we might get a modified Sentinel Prime from Astrotrain again.

Probably won't happen but I would love it, flying Sentinel Prime and Elita-1 are some of the coolest recent ideas that help make them standout from Optimus Prime.


I actually really like the idea of Elita-1 being Starscream's predecessor as Commander of the Seekers but was betrayed. (prior to the war so before the Seekers were Decepticons and such.)

Probably not, since the line is heavily based on the '80s G1 media (and chiefly the cartoon). And Sentinel's appearances in the Marvel comic and the cartoon (such as they are) differ from his IDW appearance as well as from each other.

Just in from Snakas.blog and Chohenken on Twitter are some new images from the Tokyo Wonderfest! These are specifically of the Transformers Siege figures that just made their first appearance at the SDCC2019, however you will note many of these in new action poses showing off a greater range of detail and articulation, especially a nice close up of model 000,000,001 himself Rung! Also note Rumble's fists with blast effect ports for Earth shaking fun, and although shown together it does not appear as though Ratbat has a formal way to attach to Soundwave's forearm as did Laserbeak (to varying success).

Below you will see Spinister, Rumble, Rung, Omega Supreme, Ratbat, and Mirage. Enjoy the images and share your views with the Seibertron crew in the forums. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

That Ratbat look pretty amazing!

Thank you!

(And thanks to my wife for ordering them with her Red Card).

Rung is hilarious - this only confirms what we already knew. I'm glad they're making him

See, I've been telling people (and have had many agree) that Devastator and Predaking are proper Combiner scale, and the other combiners are too small. It's why I've had zero issues with either, they are perfectly sized.

I really wish the next Commander would be Thunderwing, but alas, I think it will be Sky Lynx, a shuttle to go with a spaceship sort of thing

As of this moment, there are no more available online. Not all Target stores carry it, and not all that do have an option for BOPIS. Not sure if I want to drive around checking the stores where it's in stock, drive 3 hours to a store that will hold it, wait to see if more are available online later, or decide I don't actually need five Cybertronian seekers.

Micromasters are still available, the Seekers are not as this point.

[AcademyofDrX]

Yeah, sorry, I meant to specify. None of the stores that online said had Rainmakers in stock actually have any available. Unless they're going to be restocked, this is going to be very hard to find.

Yes, Titan Devastator and Predaking are definitely Generations Siege scale. And for the Combiner Wars ones to be in proper scale, they should be titan too. At least in combined mode. However, having voyager scaled CARS and bikes wouldn't make any sense.

As for a proper MP scaled Devastator, each components should be at least MP-10 sise and cost nearly 200$ each. Making for an over 1000$US combiner of epic proportions.
Next HasLab project, perhaps?

Those stores probably have them, just not available/accessible yet. Most stores in my area are holding putting them out until they reset the toy area. Today was actually the date most stores in my area were scheduled to reset. I lucked out and called one near me that said they had 2 in the back and could hold one at customer service for me.

Try calling the stores near you with the DCPI code and ask if they have it in stock. I wasted time driving to 4-5 stores on Wednesday that Brickseek said had stock with no luck. That's when I learned they were tied to resetting the toy section. It also looks like each store may only be getting 2 initially. Friday instead of going to the stores, I called them on my way home from work and went to the one that had 2 in back and would hold one for me. It was one of the stores that Brickseek said had them, so it does seem useful in narrowing down which stores might have them, but it all depends on whether that store is resetting their toy section this week or not.

[Flashwave]

and whether the inner robot could be repurposed as a guiltaur

His name's Gilthor (he finally has an actual English spelling of his name, straight from Masumi Kaneda himself, but the H is silent so it's still spoken like "Gill-tor").

so Tor like the file compression? Fitting

Ready for some Flaming hammers?




Smashdown's effects make for excellent punching visuals!



Transformers: Prime callback



also, Brunt can do this:

I assume that ia the blast from Last Knight Megatron? Is that the same size as a blast effect or is it close enough to work for some figures?

(At ridk of running afoul of 3P rules here) there is a guy on Facebook making cast duplicates of the Blast Effwcts from Siege. Most are 1.50 each, the Smashdpwn effect is 3, and he did one of Skyfire's for 9, but in Purple coming from Megatron's fusion cannon it looks AMAZING. If you are really into these things.

He also made and sold a custom Smashdown painted as Mjolner...

Yes, that is from TLK Leader Megs and works with any 5mm port. I found Megs on clearance at Walmart for $13 and got him just for the effects. They are a lot of fun.

That wasn't from checking shelves, but asking stores to check inventory via DCPI. I don't know why online and store inventory didn't align.

Can you post a link?

[ZeroWolf]

I'd rather someone did a custom Smashdown that was gold... And painted Sixguns big hand combo to match

[Stargrave]

yes!
