I know this probably won't happen, but I'd really like to see that Optimus in the colors of the Galaxy Force redeco:

I'd like one as well, either as a Siege multipack or as a Selects release.

The big question is whether they would add the cyber key emblems, and whether the inner robot could be repurposed as a guiltaur

[Sabrblade]

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").

Indeed, because Japan tends to go with the original pronunciation of "Thor"

Ready for some Flaming hammers?




Smashdown's effects make for excellent punching visuals!



Transformers: Prime callback

The original/domestic pronunciation of any given loanword really. It doesn't have to sound English all the time you know?

Oh yeah, I love having these things. It makes battle scenes more clear in photos!

And also Smashdown effects just mean another reason to love Smashdown and buy many of them.

But now, we go behind the scenes of the photo shots:



Alright Reflector, let's see what you can see:

Transformers: Prime callback

Also works as a Cybertron callback.

There was some chatter a while back wondering if the next commander could be a deluxe scaled Devastator; and yes I know Omega is scaled to the current Titan.... but it got me curious and well.... I wouldn’t be too mad at Hasbro if they’re planning on keeping the siege scale going forward.

They’re (the constructicons) are still MP scale which I love- but not so much the *new* scale.

[SpikeyTigertron]

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!
When the two other cassettes packs will come out, I'll get them for sure.

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

[D-Maximal_Primal]

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.
