Has anyone taken a picture of 4 armed Shockwave with Brunt’s tentacle arms on his back yet?

[Unicron Magnus]

Hopefully if we do get a "Frenzy", he keeps the effect ports from "Rumble".

I still can't figure out how Spinister's transformation works.

[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!

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...

Can you post a link?

Grimlock’s Forge Resin casts, firmer than the originals but still have some give to them to avoid fragility,

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

...I frikkin need that.

Siege Mjolner:

he’s charging $25 but I figure 6.50 for Smashdown, another 5 for the modified Handle and the blue smash effect, 12 bucks for paint and labor is not an unreasonable ask. I’ve painted Minicons before and the finer details can be tedious. Fun, but tedious.

Hopefully if we do get a "Frenzy", he keeps the effect ports from "Rumble".

I still can't figure out how Spinister's transformation works.

The feet swivel down 90* sideways and turn to the side. The waist turns 90*, and one leg folds in half in front of the chest, while the other folds in half and goes either under the helicopter or against the back. The feet are sticking out the sides, thats what the guns attach to.

Did you ever have Animated Prowl? the Motorcycle? Same idea

The Tail Boom looks like it might be on a collapsing Z hinge. Lay the back down, and the tail lifts up and swings out. Rotate the head so he;s not looking at the ground in alt mode, and close the back up again.

[ThunderThruster]

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

That's all the excuse I need to get 3 Smashdown's.

I think the Target inventory system has screwed up. Went to two Targets that allegedly had the Rainmakers and Micromasters, but they were unable to locate them. The guy at one said they have had issues like that with some Spider-Man figures too.

From Unicron.com:

SIEGE Shockblast! I'd like to plead my case for a release of a Green and Black recolor of Brunt: Alright Hasbro, I've been thinking about this ever since the moment I open War For Cybertron: SIEGE Leader Class Shockwave. The Voyager sized center of him is masterfully excicuted, but where in the world did the idea come from to give him "armor" that looks like he canibolized himself? The Galaxy Force armor for Leader Class Optimus Prime was a FANTASTIC idea; pull in multiple eras of the Transformers fan base; very cleaver! You could have done the very same thing with Shockwave by giving him Energeon Shockblast armor, but instead we got... Mutant Zombie Shockwave..? Then, I took a close look at Brunt and realized he's got nearly all the right parts to make Shockblast armor! I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and consider the possibility that maybe you had this idea from the get-go. If that's true, touché, well played. The only problem is, for Brunt to make perfect Shockblast Armor, instead of Purple and Gray he needs to be Green and Black. I can hardly believe I'm writing this, but recolor... please??? P.S. the deluxe class Weaponizers concept/play pattern is brilliant and tons of fun; I hope to see a lot more new molds of these as well. P.P.S ; The WFC: SIEGE toyline as whole is the best series of figures to date! Keep up the great work!

[Deadput]

Such a shame there isn't any possibility of repainting Brunt into green, there is no precedence for such a redeco right?

I think it may be a situation of physically at the address, but not actually available. One possibility is them being still on a wrapped pallet and not unloaded/separated, or even in storage out on the shipping containers that many stores have on their location.

As mentioned before, wait for the resets to happen and space to be allocated for them. Any kinks in the system should be worked out by then. Just look for rolling heads

When the 2nd cassette wave and new micro master combiners suppose to be out for sale?

And I will say what I said on their Facebook post: the Green and Black (specifically on the Cannon) is exactly what is keeping Energon Shockblast from haveing been and continuing to be my de-facto Shockwave. The death ray satillite is to me thr best compromise we had gotten for flying laser gun alt mode. The land tank mode is what it is. Siege Shockwave as is looks great with As is Brunt, I do not want or need to reproduce that green barrel.

Such a shame there isn't any possibility of repainting Brunt into green, there is no precedence for such a redeco right?

Now I do very much want this, but I would have called that an Eggshell color, not green.

[Deadput]

True if we went by that one picture alone however...



Their original G1 colors lend towards the homage better and is more likely the color to be used if Hasbro gave us the Droids.

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

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

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?

While I dovthinkvthe CW combiners are a tad small, I like the size theu are close to compared to the Titans because of this:

Just signed up for REDCard and got Redwing and the Micromaster 10 pack. Kinda glad they made Redwing a REDCard exclusive. I never would have signed up for one otherwise and it seems like it will be pretty useful in general. I'll still be keeping an eye on the Rainmaker pack's status at my local store using the app. I have kinda grown to hate the Hunt, but I guess that's the only option in this case right now. Plus, my local Target is just a slight detour during my commute so even checking in person isn't that big of a deal; just gotta leave for work about fifteen or twenty minutes early.

Reconfigured my Cons shelf today to put Siege Megs and Screamer in place and also in preparation for the eventual arrival of the other six Siegekers. Took out the four Classics regular mold Seekers. (Left the Coneheads for now.) Kinda felt strange since Classics Screamer and Skywarp were in the very first batch of Transformers I ever bought. It'll be weird to have them replaced, but it was over twelve years ago that I got them. It's definitely time to upgrade and the Siegeker mold sure is an upgrade. I wish the whole chestplate thing hadn't overshadowed Screamer's launch because that mold is pretty killer and I don't think it gets the credit it should.

Well that's getting shipped to store lol.

It's strange... I like all the individual robot mode colors, and most of the alt mode colors... but good lord a lot of those "combined weapons" are eye searing... would make interesting weapons for the Rain Makers.

[SpikeyTigertron]

Was there a confirmation of the "regular" Off-Road Patrol Release? Is this 10pk release the *recolors* before the official release?

[DecepticonFinishline]

Did anyone else notice that the description says "88 POUNDS"?

Keep an eye on your shipping cost, I guess...

**EDIT**

There is a decimal there... Nevermind.

400px-Predakingg1.jpg

Some of it os proportion, and again the CW Combiner aare a tad small even for this, , but Predaking is HUGE compared to Superion and Defensor

That illustration was done by someone who was going off the G1 toys side by side without factoring in how underscale the other G1 combiner toys were. Like, the Constructicons and the "Scramble City" types (especially the limbs) are shrimpy even next to their fellow Diaclone-originating robots; the Structies and the Scramble City limbs are practically Legion-class toys and look tiny even next to the likes of G1 Mirage and Bluestreak. Whereas the G1 Predacon toys were made in the same robot mode scale as Hot Rod, Kup, et al.

CW Devastator and PotP Predaking are, in combined form, indeed in perfect cartoon scale with regular size figures. However, the tradeoff for this is that the individual Constructicons and Predacons are not, especially the Structies; the cartoon's conceit of combiners swelling up to larger than the sum of their parts is to blame. The standard CW and PotP Combiners are the converse; their individual members are in scale with their peers, but the combined form lacks the daikaiju size from the cartoon (although it's still hefty and towering). It does make one miss the Legion size class for G1 characters; that would resolve things nicely. Well, that and having Supreme/Commander-size Devy and Predaking (Especially Devy, he battled other combiners more than Predaking did; I mean, who can forget "Bruticus devastate Devastator!"?) to scale with the other combiners.

Regarding the Commander class... It had better NOT be Sky Lynx. Thanks to Predaking being done as a Titan-class toy, Sky Lynx (his main rival) absolutely has to be one as well. I still personally think it could be a downsized Omega Supreme (most likely in Guardian Robot colors if so). That would complement Omega Supreme by being a smaller version that scaled better with regular CW and PotP combiners.

I think Star Saber as a retool of Jetfire is a possibility.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Was there a confirmation of the "regular" Off-Road Patrol Release? Is this 10pk release the *recolors* before the official release?

Not yet, for some reason they're pushed back to Wave 4 with Barricade, Mirage and Impactor, even though their numbering places them in Wave 3. Redecos/Retools released before the main retail original has happened before mind you. Speaking of which, they're actually redecos of retools. Sound confusing?

Irontread is based on Ironworks, but the new parts are inspired by Monster Truck Patrol member Big Hauler. Ricon is an all-new character (though he reminded me of Tote), but the new parts follow fellow Patrol Member Hydraulic's design:


Transformers G1 1990 Big Hauler Gallery

Expect them in the next part

[Flashwave]

I think Star Saber as a retool of Jetfire is a possibility.

Nah, for me its a new mold Star Sber with Thunderwing the Co-Tool. But I am pretty sure I would rather have Star Saber as a Leader Class so that they can do Vic Leo as a Weaponizer or Voyager Weaponizer

I thought they looked familiar... couldn't put my finger on it. Looking back at my original collection (thorugh memory) I somehow only have "half" of some of my patrols... wonder if friends over the years wandered off with some.

I really hope we get the hot rod patrol.

also regarding: "It does make one miss the Legion size class for G1 characters; that would resolve things nicely."-Flashwave


I completely agree! I was recently just looking at my legion Seekers and wondering where a lot of the others went (really makes me regret missing a lot of the Movieverse legions (Guzzle and some of others have gotten $$). Mostly just because they're continuing the "all-in" on the "cybertron city" it'd be nice to have everyone to that scale. Even if it technically violates the whole point of "micro masters".


Kind of makes me wonder if they might do Select reissues of some of the leaders like Twin Cast or.... fire Guts God Genrai (or Nucleon quest would be a winner)
