The long, clear plastic peg isn't very strong, I snapped mine right off removing the shield. There's just enough peg left to attach securely to the arm and it can still connect to the cockpit, but it's a bit of a bummer having the broken peg.

(The combined mode is fine, they stick together well. The point of my snark is just that the "gun" mode is terrible.)

I sent mine back to Amazon, I paid too much to have a broken toy. Not sure if we should make a breakage article about this. And I am really hoping Hasbro rereleases him with this fixed when Snap Dragon comes out.

Ugh, just found out Apeface isn't confirmed for an Earthrise re-release. That may put a wrench in my plans for waiting

The combined vehicle mode is excellent, it's basically their default alt mode.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:william-james88 wrote:

Is it confirmed that he is NOT getting rereleased? Because, as I said, even snap dragon isn't a confirmed release yet and i'd assume they stick em together if Apeface was rereleased.

That would give us a choice on if we want to get them first in Siege or just wait until Earthrise for a "cleaner" look. Bonus points if an Earthrise Apeface were redone with better, non-pearlescent white plastic and the shield peg problem fixed.

I'm afraid the plastic used is a structural necessity. Otherwise we'd see a lot more breaking other than that shield peg.

Can you explain that a little more? Is there not a clean white version of that type of plastic in existence?
JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:That I couldn't tell you. I can tell you that even if the dye used is the same shade as the white ABS, other components of the plastic could change the final color. Hasbro is somewhat inept in matching shades between plastics and paint apps.
Astrotrain is the only confirmed Siege rerelease for Earthrise. Any others have not even been mentioned as a possibility.william-james88 wrote:aronjlove wrote:How is the combined mode?

How is the combined mode? I was disappointed with the Off Road and Race Car patrols. Bot mode was janky on the dude's with the huge shoulders and combined mode looked lame, to me. The Decepticon's Air Strike patrol rocks and I love the sword mode!
Are the Targetmasters official releases? I seem to have missed them...Counterpunch wrote:Pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty damn good.

Honestly, I don't care for the "blaster" combined modes.
It seems odd and clunky.
On the other hand...
We need dedicated Targetmasters for those that need some.
Crosshairs, Spinister...
The line is making Gun Bots anyway,
they might as well be doing so for the right guys!

They released dedicated target masters for Spinister, one was part of the Skywarp exclusive set, the other was in the last wave of battle masters.

Trenchfoot, of the Alphastrike Counterforce box set from Amazon, makes a pretty good stand-in for Pinpointer as well, even if it is technically a brand new character.
