I think this is a case of Hasbro underestimating how much people wanted a reflector proper

... and the scalpers... and the army-builders...

Maybe they're doing it on purpose to get everyone hyped.

So a thing I've noticed is that bbts had thundercracker as arriving in february; I'm almost certain they don't change the dates themselves, they just let the site update it every time a month rolls over

Just picked up Hound, Megatron, starscream and red alert today. Im really getting into the new Siege bots now.

[Microbot]

Did you see these?

[Nemesis Primal]

Did you see these?

No, those are new, where are they from? I saw similar stock photos for Impactor on someone's Twitter and haven't been able to find a source or any for Barricade. If you have the rest of them for the wave, you'd probably get a news credit for that, and I at least would love to see confirmation of Barricade's final deco.

Are from this FB page, but they show just Mirage

CW Megs is oversize and, from what I understand, is overly limited in the arm articulation department.

Can confirm. He was not made with articulation in mind. He really only shines in tank mode.

[Nemesis Primal]

Found the Impactor ones again, looks like BBTS has pre-order listings for him and Mirage up.

Managed to get that first-wave shipping of Jetfire from Amazon, I got lucky. Man, what a fantastic figure. Just so well done! Love the ratcheting joints, the scale, the accessories and the transformation. Top notch.

My *only* complaint is that there isn't any place to store his chest armor unless you decide to have him wear it on his, uh, chest. It would be neat if it could peg on as a backpack if you just wanted him to be his regular Jetfire mode, not super-combat mode.


Alongside Jetfire, I got Galaxy Upgrade Prime. I'm a *little* let down by him, because I think Voyager Prime's bot mode is so damn perfect. It's cool having Galaxy Prime be in slightly similar scale with Magnus, but I still think Voyager Prime takes the cake. I'm going back and forth on it.

I'm expecting a few more of the new figs coming in soon, I'll be sure to post impressions.

I've never really studied Mirage, but he seems to have quite the interesting transformation. Looks like his legs house the front wheels and fold up over the chest, but where does the nose of the alt mode come from? His legs or back? Also really digging the transparent blue.

I don't care for how the arms fold up to make a wall of a spoiler, kind of kills the F1 car sleekness. This will be the rare case of a Siege figure not replacing an older CHUG toy.

Impactor looks good but not great and will fill a hole. He also seems to have a lot of leg movement going on with rotating panels. The rest seems pretty straight forward. I like a lot of what he has going on and I love his colors

I hope if Lancer becomes a reality, she matches Impactor

Not sure if this is newsworthy or not, but Hasbro Pulse has Jetfire back up for pre-order with a ship date of August 8 for anyone who missed out on the initial run.

It's definitely good news to some, but not helping me fight the FOMOnster (thanks zerowolf for the new word).

My advice would be to give in and get that pre-order in, fight the FOMOnster another day. This figure is fantastic, and honestly feels worth its price tag. I loved T30 Jetfire and thought I had no need for this one, but Siege has proved me wrong on pretty much every figure they've put out that I already had (OP, Megs, UM, seekers). Boy am I glad I have no will power and pre-ordered immediately. You won't regret it if you do.

Promise ?

I have no doubt that Jetfire is a good figure and worth the price of admission (which seems correct). It's the size of the damn thing, not scale but the actual physical size of it. FoMo is partially responsible for my lack of space and I'm not sure where I'm going put the bastard. Hell I just finished "PredaKOng" and that monster is sitting behind my second monitor holding cables.

I like Siege Jetfire, but do I want it or am I afraid I'll want it more when I can't get it? Design wise and size I like T30 better. I'm going to wait until I'm sure that I'm sure and if I miss out... I miss out.

[sol magnus]

Do they charge up front, or when it ships?

I'm assuming Pulse, but when it ships. Not sure of their cancellation policy.

Yeah, Pulse. There will be no cancellation, but I don't have the 80 at the moment.

I believe that BBTS and Amazon doesn't charge on pre-orders until the item is in-stock. While I like that option, it's a bit of a gamble as they don't warn you before the charge.

I play the pre-order/cancellation hokey pokey game at BBTS frequently, so I like to know if that's an option. I have Smokescreen on pre-order at HP, I'll go check if there is a cancel option for giggles. There is after clicking view order.

[RodimusConvoy13]

Pulse doesn't charge until the item is in stock. You'll see a charge pending on your account for a day, but that's just for the authorization. They never actually charge you until the item is ready to ship.

I'd gamble on that promise being correct (the figure is just that damn good), but you know you best. I did share similar space and "where the hell will I put it concerns". I lucked out in that the shelf I had my T30 Jetfire is tall enough to accomodate Siege Jetfire. They take up about the same amount of shelf space (width and depth) except for the height. I actually do like his scale better versus Thrilling 30, I like having an oddball size mixed in with the standard sizes. Good luck on whatever your decision is.

I got my Siege Jetfire from Hasbro Pulse on Saturday, Carytheone, and he is indeed fantastic! He's very hefty and sturdy, stands about as tall as one of the Combiner Wars combiners, and is a perfect representation of the original Sunbow character model. Don't miss out! I was in the same boat as you before, thinking that the T30 Jetfire and CW Ultra Magnus were fine as is. Nope! The Siege versions blow them out of the water!

Seems like an easy decision if you prefer T30 to Siege...?

I imagined it differently.

Since images were posted and suggestions were made, I've been wanting to take a picture of team Trypticon. I'm bored at work and just "discovered" that old Tryps doesn't fit on my desk.



Has anyone tried integrating Brunt with Trypticon in base/ship mode as a cannon/tower G1 style yet? I've searched the webernets and have come up short. I haven't taken the time or made the room to try it myself yet.

The name is a little of a misnomer isn't it
