How are the leg panels and hip joints on your 'Hide?

Panels on the legs slip off sometimes, but not consistently, so I'm not concerned.

Left hip is a bit loose, but it hasn't drastically affected him. And I enjoy him far more than those little issues take away from him

Doesn't sound terrible. The panels on mine fell off if you coughed in the same room, and the hips are so loose he has trouble standing on his own. Its so bad, that I just tossed the panels in my junk/accessory bin and gave the figure to my boys. It really sucked too, as this was one of the few siege figures I was actually looking forward to.

Shame really, He is awesome and a great figure. I now look forward to finding Ratchet, this is a mold worth getting twice for him. Same with Prowl and the other 3 Datsun based figures

[nycPrime]

Yup my Ironhide leg panels were also super loose. Came off with little pressure. I put some nail polish on it and it's ever so slightly better.

[Hellscream9999]

Sixgun is really good too. I think I prefer Cog slightly to him, but his upper body makes a great jetback for any figure with a 5mm port on the back.

Picture dump!

Sorry, 0/10, no one is featuring a six gun hulk-fist

I cannot get a convincing Hulk fist.

So I got my soundwave and cassettes today from hasbro pulse; they shipped everything separately despite ordering them together; the cassetticons are so adorable they immediately bypass any criticism I might have towards them

The best part is that there is a pretty easy ratbat somewhere in the laserbeak mold, here's to more of these little guys

There's a secret peg-hole in the cockpit - which is made of two parts, it can fold down and plug into the extra peg in the fist part, and the thigh nubs act as thumbs. Admittedly it does depend on where the hole on the arm is, hound and sideswipe are the only two I could get it to work on

Guess I'll post this again:

(I know Ironhide's chest is technically mistransformed, this picture is from right after I got them)

I just opened up the Air Strike Patrol and found a bit of a flaw on Visper (the black one) concerning the way the cockpit is attached. On mine, the metal pin connecting it to the body is not pushed in all the way through, part of it sticks out. So, not only would the cockpit get caught on it when transforming the little guy, if forced into position the pin scratches the insides.

Why a metal pin?!

Just exchange it, the micromasters are shelfwarming everywhere that's selling siege stuff

Nah, I'm thinking of getting a second set to have redecoed into...

Skyhopper


Groundshaker


... unless those two are in that Micromaster 10-pack...

Be cool if it included Stripes and Buzzsaw

Sounds a bit like what happened to me with Cog. I ended up getting two Cogs after my first was so loose that his legs would just slide right off the hips every time I simply lifted the figure by its torso. And neither of its wrist-mounted 5mm pegs would stay attached to any 5mm holes that I put them into. My second Cog, on the other hand, is much more solid overall with much stronger 5mm pegs.

[AshelehsA]

I don't know if it's the result of a running change or I just got lucky, but I just bought a Siege Ironhide with perfect leg panels. The pegs for the hinge fit into their holes perfectly, and I can even pick the figure up by his panels without them falling off.

[Ironhidensh]

Got these guys from pulse yesterday.





Not really sure what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. Pretty much only good to have something in Soundwaves chest.

[haldand]

Brunt reminds me of Beast Machines Tankor...

Kind of like my Cog. Will have to Future Polish some of his joints. Magnus, too, if I want him to stop doing the splits.

Hey Cobo, here is for you!

Hey Cobo, here is for you!

"We need Ironzord power, now!"

[Cobotron]

AWESOME!!!

Well, my Ironhide just arrived from Pulse today.

I figure, if we're gonna go Diaclone...

Let's go ALL THE WAY!!!




What a kickass figure! I'm happy to report the leg panels don't seem to be as loose as others have reported. I have to pull with a bit of force to get them to come off. However they don't tab down well.
Love the size of him compared to the other Deluxes. Love that torso twist in the transformation. Love the head sculpt. And the hammer cannon is the cool!

[Dannshinigami]

Posing Soundwave with Ravage claw mode and Lazerbeak flying over head. I cant praise this figure enough.

[The_Cryptid_Person]

Looks like the next issue of IDW’s series continues to be a siege bonanza, this time with “Skytread”, “Refraktor”, and... Elita One? Going off her “collar”, she seems to be a virtual retool of siege Chromia. Disappointing for scaling with Optimus - and her head looks pretty off - but sure beats the PotP jet-hulk.

Me yesterday: How can a torso twist be exciting?

Me today, after opening my own package from Pulse: OH!

I have the same leg panel issues as everyone else, but it's a very minor concern. And as others have mentioned, his size and number of ports are perfect for Six-gun.

Prowl and Lazerbeak are my favorites from Wave 2, but Ironhide is also great.
