Red Alert's lightbar looks fine in these pics.

That's a relief! I wonder why Red Alert's light bar looked almost black in the product and in-package photos a month or two ago? Also, something I didn't realize before, is that Red Alert's light bar is clearly a different mold, not just a re-use of Prowl's light bar. Another observation: Springer's legs look even bluer now. I'm sure that'll turn more people off, but I like how it looks with the different shades of green, honestly. It's not that far off model, kind of like that Hasbro Anniversary Edition of Unicron with the gray parts as bluish gray instead.

I don't see the hate for Siege Springer's colors, because I love them. The figure also proves that we can get an awesome triple changing G1 Springer without resorting to some 3P Masterpiece figure

I am glad about Red Alert's light bar, but I'm still disappointed in the lack of color separation, and the black piece in vehicle mode is just an eyesore :/

So only 50% related to Siege but I finally decided to transform my Titans Return Scourge and found out that, of all the targetmaster characters he seem to be among those who got a 5mm port in juuuust the right place to add the G1 accurate targetmaster without any friction or requiring modding. Of course, talking the Hasbro version of course.

Hopefully his partner make an appearance in the trilogy otherwise someone is getting dipped in black paint...

Me, looking at Reflectors and Brunts, sweating: "COMMENCE THE ARMY BUILDING!!!"

[SpikeyTigertron]

The black on red alert’s car mode bugs me.... but it’s the same spot as sideswipe, so it’s s gang mold part issue unfortunately

Already?! I just want 2 or 3 (Sideswipe's a maybe with that G2) from Waves 1 and 2, so catching up should be easy. Just save me 3 Refraktors, you army buiders!

[AcademyofDrX]

I'm pre-ordering Refraktor from an online retailer. I'd rather pay the $6 markup than get stressed out trying to find a set on shelves. For some reason they're not on Hasbro Pulse even though Red Alert is.

[Bumblevivisector]

A midwest Meijer gets it first? Not unheard of. T'was also true of the Hot Rod vs. Cyclonus Battle in Space set, and I'll always think of Leadfoot, Sledge, and Icepick as the Meijer's exclusive PCC wave, since they showed up there so long before anywhere else en masse.

We can probably look forward to Red Alert warming pegs at least until fall.

The G2 Sideswipe set comes with a black redeco of Blowpipe. It's not a perfect fit, but I plan to partner him with Scourge. I have the TR movie characters but not the Decepticon Targetmaster Deluxes, so I'm going to be repurposing all of the Battle Masters as movie bot Targetmaster partners.

Finally snagged Siege Voyager Prime from Walmart. After months of searching, he finally shows up at my local Walmart on clearance for $11.87. If you haven't snagged him yet, now's your chance

He is an amazing figure, and the most posable transformer in my collection. He will display excellently with my Siege Megatron

Can you post a pic of the reciept and tag? This would be news.

No kidding huge news!


So I've been digging Galaxy OP and I've decided to pick up another one so I can enjoy Prime with upgrade armour and without. Next to voyager Prime it really is a cool figure...'nuff said!

That's cool to hear, I really think Galaxy OP is a great figure, as great as Magnus.

I will gladly find the receipt for you guys, but right now I can't find it. I'm one of those weirdos who keeps receipts, and I remember putting it on my table next to me, but this morning, it's nowhere to be found. I really hope I didn't misplace it, but hopefully I will find it

I encourage others to check their Walmarts to see if others have this, and it's not a mistake at my local ones.

I'm still really on the fence with Galaxy OP.... on one hand, I saw him in person and almost pulled the trigger... but.... I really like the voyager Prime, and I like that lil'Magnus and voyager prime have distinctly different silhouettes, i feel like that's lost a bit with Galaxy lil'Prime.

Entertainment Earth I should have them listed @ retail price, bundle enough of them, and do the order over the phone, and they'll do free shipping.

if you throw in Red Alert, that'd get it above the $79.99 threshold, you just have to call them to "bundle" the order for free shipping.

Thanks to DioXDio on Weibo, we have some great in hand images of War for Cybertron: Siege Wave 3! To be specific, we have Smashdown, Caliburst (Slugslinger's Targetmaster), Blackjack and Hyperdrive (Decepticon Sports Car Patrol), Red Alert, Brunt, Springer, and Thundercracker. We also get a good image on how they, along with Refraktor, look in box, including their corresponding box artwork. There are many images here, so we hope you enjoy these looks at these upcoming toys, or as we found out recently in our last article, currently releasing. Have your thoughts changed? Well, tell us in the Pub forums below!

[Hellscream9999]

Seriously, why does thundercracker have starscreams head?

[Sentinel_Primal]

Thundercracker keeps looking better and better! Wave 3's really going to be hard on the wallet with the battlemasters, micromasters, three Reflectors, Red Alert, Brunt, Springer, AND Thundercracker. This is going to be the first wave where I actually buy all the new figures for the size classes

[notsoalex]

Seriously, why does thundercracker have starscreams head?

Yo, same exact thing happened with Construct bots, remember?

[Albatross250]

Brunt have that same violet color like Shockwave, i might plan to buy 2 Brunts.

[Ultra Markus]

im surprised that with all the different brunt configurations not one was a tower for trypticon

[SpikeyTigertron]

Why does Red Alert's hips/waist look so messed up in a lot of those shots? Also I really hope his windscreen is dark, but transparent like Sideswipe... A lot of those seem over saturated color wise.

[SpikeyTigertron]

Has anyone tried integrating the weaponizers with their titans yet?

There's an official "Weaponizer Fortress Maximus" configuration with Cog combined with Legends Fort Max in the Big Powered prologue manga.

[Wireless_Phantom]

This just reaffirms most of my plans. Thundercracker does tempt me but I think I'll hold out until Redwing. Springer still looks great (even if his grey is the wrong color)

Yeah on further reflection I'm definitely going to have to paint his blue parts grey, and the swords silver

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

A lot of these look really good. I was trying to skip most of this line, but Hasbro knows what I like.

[Wireless_Phantom]

The more I look at Springer's battle damage and leg colors, the more I really hope he gets redecoed as Drift or Deadlock so that the mold can exist in a better color scheme.

[chuckdawg1999]

I'm really excited for Springer but I'm not happy with how they handled the rotor blades/swords. I think the T30 version did it better.

[SpikeyTigertron]

The more I look at Springer's battle damage and leg colors, the more I really hope he gets redecoed as Drift or Deadlock so that the mold can exist in a better color scheme.

I was just thinking about this, looking at his shoulders, and how his rotor section if painted right *could* look like a car's windscreen.... my money would be on Deadlock with a Drift later in the trilogy.
