Think I prefer the thrilling 30 Springer, Sieges copters a bit off and not sure about car mode. Robot mode, legs could have done with being longer so it looks less clunky. Yet to pick one up so I'll see if I still feel the same when I have him.

No, my question is still “Why those blocky shoulders?” The joints could still be easily accommodated after adding a slope reminiscent of the G1 model. That would help the winged toaster aesthetic immensely, IMO.

:roll:
Take a proper look at SIEGE Apeface:

And now look at the original:

Notice the color difference of that spot? On SIEGE Apeface, that spot is made from the gorilla forearms, not the back of the upper arms. So it's the gorilla forearms that would need the slope.
Adding a slope onto the shoulder itself that projects past that point wouldn't work, because it would block the arm's outward movement.

I love the smell of a Springer comparison in the morning...

I love living in a world where we have Springers to compare. :lol:

Honestly I feel like they both are so strong that it’s comparing apples to apples. That’s a super tough call for me. Like with the new Impactors- honestly if I could afford it I would get both because I like the different head designs. You know what I mean? 30 Springer is totally IDW to me whereas Siege is like old school movie Springer.

Oh my god I finally understand Apeface's headmaster now. Using the back of the legs for the robot face is genius, I thought it was a panel hidden somewhere! :HEADHURTS: I might buy him just for the ingenuity of that alone.

Apeface’s rifle looks sooo rad.

I’m getting a 30 Blitzwing shoulder vibe from that ape mode shoulder arrangement but there’s always compromises with triple changers.

Overall, mmf, can not wait for this next wave.

On the subject of Springer, if I manage to find another one in store, I'll probably pick him up. I like the bot mode and car mode, but the copter mode is way too blocky. I know that it's G1 accurate, but if we're honest that's not always a compliment. T30 Springer is still my personal favorite design

On the subject of Apeface, I'm looking forward to giving him the TR weapon drone thing and turning him into a Targetmaster and Headmaster :lol: May even give him the Apeface Titanmaster just for a different look sometimes. Can't wait to see what Hasbro manages to give us for Snapdragon :-D

Doesnt look to be anything that pops up to make apefaces robot head look bigger like on the TR figures, not that its needed, but hoping figure size remains comparable.

Apeface isn't wasn't on my radar, but damn it looks like a fun toy. And I love the brilliant double faced headmaster action, pretty clever.

For me Siege Springer blew T30 out of the water. I always found T30 fiddly (in all modes) and feel that Sandstorm wears the mold better with much tighter tolerances leading to both alt-modes pegging in nice and tight. Also just I love Sandstorm's VTOL backpack so much :x

T30 Springer lent his sword to Seige and slipped quietly into storage.

Take another look. The whole beast mode "muzzle" is a separate piece that covers up the lower half of the "beast" side face of the Titan Master. With just the Titan Master, you only get the red visor of the gorilla face. The mouth and "nose" are attached to the main robot body and sit right in front of the Titan Master when in beast mode.
