What Deluxe or Voyager class figure is a can’t-miss in the Siege line for you?

Voyager: Starscream or any other seeker is a MUST. This is the new Classic Mold for a reason.

Deluxe: Ratchet, Ironhide, or the upcoming Crosswise. That mold is fantastic and fun to play with.

the upcoming Crosswise.

Crosswise

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

What Deluxe or Voyager class figure is a can’t-miss in the Siege line for you?

I know you asked for these 2, but I'm just gonna list all classes:

Battlemaster: Smashdown
Micromasters: Air Strike Patrol
Deluxe: G2 Sideswipe
Voyager: Redwing
Leader: Shockwave

Overall from the line: Smashdown

Deluxe, Sideswipe for me

Me, too, but I recognize I’m totally biased. I love the mold so much I’m debating on buying a third to see if I can disassemble it (effectively) and extras of the other Lambo models to mix and match parts to get different paint schemes.

[transformers_va]

I like a lot of the responses -- Starscream definitely -- but I'd have to add Springer and Jetfire (although his class wasn't asked about)

Overall from the line: Smashdown

I’ve been looking for Smashdown for weeks.

[-Kanrabat-]

Ahem...
Crosshair.
And I do own the G1 original.

I bought 5 of her from Amazon. She is amazing and worth getting 5 of

[blackeyedprime]

Weirdly enough I won't know if the seekers are must have until I have one and most siege figures I'm not keen on the alts so my preferences are:

Deluxe toy color refraktor (a bit of a cheat maybe) so failing that, Brunt (or any that goes with a titan partner).

Voyager Ape face due to watching headmasters series/having a display on my shelves and I like the titan master range.

After the new Siege cards out, we can think about soon we'll get a new Hotrod?

[Sentinel_Primal]

After the new Siege cards out, we can think about soon we'll get a new Hotrod?

It's almost certainly not happening, but I'd love to see an IDW design for Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime. But, if we do get a Hot Rod in WFC, it's probably just going to be the G1 design but updated like the last 2 times we got Hot Rod's

And I will happy from I love the g1 cartoons for that I love TF WFC:siege Line and back to collect after 22 years

Leader Class Shockwave just $38.55 dang that's a steal. Deal breaker for anyone who said he wasn't worth the $50 pricetag for sure.

Here's the link at Amazon if anyone's interested.

...I was at peace. I didn't need a new Shockwave, I said. My DotM one was fine even despite his not great arms, I said. I limit myself to buying two full-price Leader figures a year anyway, so I was already done. The Siege Shockwave looked like a great figure, but I didn't NEED an upgrade.

But you...you just couldn't let me have that could you. You had to plant doubt in my brain. You had to enable me. And now...my Siege Shockwave will be here Friday, because that price was good enough to justify it.

STARGRAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE! *shakes fist at sky*

Well I don't have any Voyagers yet, as the only one's I'll be getting are Apeface, Soundblaster, and the Rainmakers, but of them I'm most impatient for said Rainmakers. As for Deluxes, if I have to pick ones I already have then Sixgun or Ironhide, but if it's everyone then Spinister and Hot Shot are who I'm most excited about currently.

Ironhide and ratchet. We just dont have any good alternatives for that scale.

You sound like those are just "good enough". Something you don't like about them?

I never said that. Quite the opposite. If you don't get Siege Mirage, there are others to fill that void. But there is nothing even close to as good as these Ironhide and Ratchet toys.

Purely subjectively, I'm still partial to the old BotCon 2005 ones, even if they are hard to come by and have peculiar-looking headsculpts.

Do they end up on the small side ?

IIRC, most Energon Deluxe class Autobots were pretty chunky toys. Not tall, but not pint-sized, either.

Here's a couple of Ryan's gallery pics:

Received my exclusive Refraktor 3-Pack and the Matrix Workshop Upgrade set from TFSafari this week. So I decided to take inspiration from this and create a crazy combiner of my own. Behold! Six Refraktors makes one giant Frankenfraktor.

[Triggerdick Megatron]

Apeface looks like a cheap, crappy Cyberverse figure.

You take that back! Lol, it's ok.

I love Siege Apeface.

[-Kanrabat-]

I'd really LOVE to have those Ratchet and Ironhide. They are the perfect G1 hommage with the sled thing. Plus, they could duo-combine.

Too bad they are Botcon exclusives with the price to match.
Ironhide is near 100$CAN counting shipping and taxes. But holy crap that Ratchet! Only one available and he's nearly 300$!

Sigh...

Damn, last time I was casually looking for them for novelty's sake one was ~$50 and the other was $70-80 (can't remember which one was which), have they really skyrocketed that much???

Not when you check what they sell for. The peoblem right now is that there arent many being offerred on the secondary market.

[Ironhidensh]

Like a complete dumbass, I paid full price for this thing. I should have waited......

[ZeroWolf]

That's a nice sale there

[william-james88]

That was in your store? I am surprised to see a Soundwave on the shelf as well, those things sold out instantly in my country. Those who were waiting for a sale missed out.

[Sabrblade]

I Plus, they could duo-combine.

Not with each other, sadly. For some reason, the Tow-Line mold was the only Energon Deluxe class Autobot mold that couldn't become a set of pants, transforming only from vehicle to robot to torso combiner. The sled, on the other hand, is what took the place of the mold's lack of a pants mode.
