Those 'weapon modes' for the Micromasters still look embarrasing and dodgy

Frankly only the car ones is hideous: the others look pretty solid to me for something of their price point.

Man, now I wish Hasbro had committed to a full Micromaster line for a year, it would have been great. I imagine the bigger pricepoints would have been 4-packs like the originals (for deluxe) and some playsets for Voyager and Leader. Shame we won't be getting that.

The Micromasters are supposed to be smaller than most other Transformers, and their alt modes aren't supposed to be real-world scale either. They're "new commandos, to go where no other Transformers can go!"

Btw it would be nice if we got a new Countdown (even without his base), since he'd go well with the upcoming Dai Atlas in Legends-EX. But, mostly, because I think he's cool.

[Sabrblade]

We are. He's coming with Titan class Omega Supreme.

Oh. I missed that didn't I? Derp. Also....crap because I don't have the space for any Titan-class figure.

THat six gun mold is super loose. I bought it for metroplex a million years ago. Albeit it looks cool ,to me, it's a super floppy mess in the hip department.

There mistransformed it’s most popular word that is comment in toy topic may as well add to it mistransformed toy it’s crime

Who is mistransformed?

He seems to take it personally whenever someone mentions something is transformed wrong on here. He goes on these weird little tirades about how people shouldn't point out whenever something is mistransformed. Can't imagine why he thinks we shouldn't point out that a figure might be better than our first impressions. Maybe he's secretly Hasbro's horrible photographer. I'm guessing you mentioning you forgot to extend Megatron's arms triggered him this time.

Swindler's no longer a DeLorean. Another joke lost... On the bright side, hello there Blackjack!

Blackjack, now that would work. The mold doesn't look particularly like Swindler, but maybe it would look better in black with a new chest/head.

If you still haven't gotten enough of news about the Transformers War for Cybertron SIEGE toy line, then we've got you covered here at Seibertron.com. How about even more in-hand pictures of the just released War for Cybertron toys!

This time around, we've got some comparison pictures of SIEGE Deluxe Class WFC-S8 Cog, WFC-S9 Hound, WFC-S7 Sideswipe, and WFC-S10 Skytread (aka Flywheels) alongside their other versions and with other toys from this line. Each highly articulated Deluxe Class figure can interact with the Battle Masters, Micromasters and even with Cog, who is a "Weaponizer" that can come apart to become additional accessories which other Transformers action figures can utilize.

If you missed the news earlier today, SIEGE Voyager and Deluxe Class figures were found at Target. If you are in need of Target DPCI codes for SIEGE, you can find them in a news article from this past weekend.

Don't forget to check out our in-hand comparison pics of Micromasters, SIEGE Battle Masters, and our recent galleries of War for Cybertron SIEGE Voyager Class Optimus Prime and Megatron.

I forgot how tall Universe Sideswipe is, I'm glad we're getting a new one.

And I had never realized how vividly GREEN Combiner Wars Hound was!

[Seibertron]

Cog and Megatron are my two favorites currently.

[Wireless_Phantom]

I am really looking forward to the gallery for Cog now!

Here is a theory: What if this new trilogy is literally a G1 update to where line 1 (Siege) is for G1 season 1, and the next line will have characters like Blaster and Cliffjumper and maybe more Earthen modes, and line 3 will be like G1 season 3 with Galvatron and a voyager Rodimus Prime?

[Flashwave]

I did not realize how small Hound was. And how tiny Sideswipe is, although the Universe figure is a tall toy

[Wireless_Phantom]

It's the creative stuff like this that gets me really excited for these figures, especially Brunt and Six-Gun! (Would've included the giant hand picture but I deleted the link by accident)

[Wireless_Phantom]

I think I might have to buy two or three Six-Guns now so I can get ridiculous with it.

Call it a hunch but I think he is talking about the TFC Six-Gun (Gear of War 3 or something like that), which is almost nothing like this one, though he is right about that figure, because that thing couldn't hold it's own weight to save its life if I remember correctly.

Nope. Cog never even showed up in the cartoon, the micromasters never showed up in the cartoon, Flywheels was never in the cartoon, the Target Masters didn't show up until season 3, Six-Gun only had one appearance which was either in season 2 or 3, and Magnus didn't show up until the film. It definitely isn't a straight G1 update line. Still, it would be nice to get a proper Cliffjumper and a Blaster who isn't enormous.

Targetmasters were Season 4, Six-Gun was Season 3.

I'm doubtful, we've basically just had season 3 in Titans Return. At SDCC we were told to look at this as a G1 "expanded universe" and not a dedicated G1 line. They also said they were going to "debunk" the fans saying they don't like Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy in the coming years. I think after they start things up with Siege we're going to see some really crazy character inclusions in 2020.

target eh
alright

[KVO Prime]

I need to confess something here and now... I wanted to hate this SIEGE line... I wanted to think the 'battle damage' would ruin it for me.. but damn. These guys are all lookin real good. Hasbro is getting raw and robotic. I was going to get Cog and Sixgun anyway, so... it makes natural sense to get Prowl, Red Alert, Sideswipe, Hound, Optimus Prime, and then all the battle masters and micromasters to go with them. They look cool and it's a line that really synergizes with itself well; maybe even better than titans return(?)

used to be less than $20

i remember paying $35 for Optimal Op
