That is encouraging news!

I didn't know Singe was coming, that is great news! Spinister will get both his Targetmasters from this line to go with himself!

Now I need to go find a TR or Generations Scourge to go with Fracas. I don't have a Scourge yet in any capacity.

also need to get a 2nd Firedrive for Ricochet, he'll be a limb, but he can wield his Targetmaster in combined form

In other words, you'd get three of the same mold, just in different colors.

I really hope we get some new blaster designs, I like what's out but it's getting stale.

They'll be in gun mode, I hardly mind if they are the same mold in different colors in this case. But I hope we get more melee weapons in the next line, and different styled blasters

My big question is, who's going to wield Rung :-?

The way i see it, there are really only 3 Choices:

1) Optimus Prime AKA Jesus wielding God

2) Rodimus Prime for MTMTE references and Jesus (jr.) wielding God

3) Swerve cause MTMTE alt mode shenanigans

I got my shipping notice from Target a few hours ago! I’ll have my Micromasters soon! It must be a problem with ship-to or pick-up-at store options getting canceled.

Probably Red Alert since his Siege website code was Rung and I think the two knew each other in IDW but it's been forever since I've read it.

I know mine is going to be held by my generations Swerve.

I'm gonna see if my Cybertron Primus has any good 5mm holes to plug Rung into.

As I recall, he literally doesn't have any 5mm holes.

Not even screw holes?

If so, then I'll just manipulate the articulated figures to wrap around the 5mm peg grip of Rung's gun mode.

Could someone do a quick rundown for me of which battlemaster goes with the target masters we got so far in the Gen line?

You mean for Siege, or the whole umbrella line?

Just the Siege Battle Masters? Alrighty.

WFC-S1 Firedrive (renamed Firebolt), Targetmaster partner of Hot Rod
WFC-S2 Lionizer, Action Master partner of Rad (no official modern day toy, but Cybertron Smokescreen is a decent stand-in)
WFC-S3 Blowpipe, Targetmaster partner of Triggerhappy
WFC-S16 Pteraxadon, new character with no known preexisting partnership
WFC-S17 Aimless, Targetmaster partner of Misfire
WFC-S30 Caliburst, Targetmaster partner of Sligslinger
WFC-S31 Smashdown, new character with no known preexisting partnership, but is said to be affiliated with the Wreckers
Rung, was his own person and not partnered with any one person in particular in the IDW1 comics
Singe, one of two Targetmaster partners of Spinister
Dazzlestrike, new character who comes packed with Greenlight
Trenchfoot, appears to be a new character and comes packed with Covert Clone Sideswipe and Slamdance
Fracas, Targetmaster partner of Scourge but comes packed with Skywarp
Shrute (renamed Hairsplitter), the other Targetmaster partner of Spinister, but comes packed with Skywarp
Terror-Daxtyl, new character who comes packed with Skywarp

I haven't really been paying attention to who goes with who, but it's nice to know Spinister gets both of his partners.

My head canon is that Dazzlestrike is a new take on Blackcat. I mean, an Autobot cat with green accents, why not?

Seems like Pteraxadon is set up to be Prowl's if these mean anything.

While the Dino in the comic probably isn't them they seem to be inspired by Pteraxadon visually.

I like the idea of Prowl having his own Laserbeak but isn't exactly the same in alt form as them.

What did you expect? With the exception of Rung, every gun Battlemaster since Firedrive and Blowpipe has been decidedly phoned-in. :-x

Some of the holes on the insides of his lower legs might be 5mm; don't own him myself so I can't check.
Rung's backpack might potentially have a 5mm port like Blowpipe's gun piece does; if so you'd probably be able to stick him onto one of Primus' Mini-Con ports. But that's an if.

Not sure what is with peoples obsessions of wanting to stick things in planets holes but...

in robot mode, one on each arm should work if the peg is as long as the target master Ive used tho its a bit loose/not a snug fit and still holds it in place with out worrying about a snapped peg.

If Spinister ever gets his guns in the right color/sculpt Scourges sweeps can have the Siege ones.

No visible screw holes in alt mode which is pretty darn good for a toy of its age and shows some of the modern figures up (the stands have some slight visible screws but its really not that bad. I just realised mine is missing his butt flap as I've removed it to display him better in robot mode and also his cyber key thing would have been usefull to have to transform him.
