I hope the Hot Shot one is true because then I'd be able to add an Hot Shot to my collection with a design that is radically different from Bumblebee, who he replaced (well, he also replaced Cheetor and Hot Rod too!) at a time and latter got replaced by.

The original Cybertron Defense Hot Shot isn't too bad on eBay, although it can be hard to find one that has both gunbarrel tips and both bumper pieces. Especially the barrel tips.

Now to attend to another matter... Everybody, please repeat after me:

Meh. Its not like it doesn't just pop back on or anything..

I've known about the Hot Shot speculation ever since Hound's box art with Hot Shot's head was revealed, but I only now really thought about what the Siege Hound mold would look like in Cybertron Hot Shot's colors, and now I am HYPE for it. I cannot wait for it to be revealed.

I know. I'm just trying to grind the rumor of him getting one into the dirt hard enough that people who only skim things won't ignorantly revive it.

[Rodimus Prime]

I've yet to find a single stinker in the whole line.

Voyager Megatron and the Laserbeak/Ravage set were underwhelming for me. Not so much Laserbeak, but I think Ravage is way off the mark.

[Cyberpath]

Hey, so I was thinking, there are two Autobot Weaponizers and one Decepticon. HasTak could make another Decepticon with Torq III's face and colours. As far as I know there are no figures representing him. And the machines he utilised in the episode kind of remind me of the stuff you can build from the Weaponizers.

[ThunderThruster]

Torq III's a bit niche, especially when we could be getting a Weaponiser Fasttrack.

Because all the Weaponizers so far have been inspired by iconic characters?

That's part of the fun with these things imo.

(But yeah, I get that they're making them based on parts from the City bots.)

So, someone's scooped up all the Refraktors in the Knoxville area (and going by the number of Hounds it was a LOT of Refraktors), but I did get Brunt yesterday. Have been a tad disappointed, largely because his head broke the first time I transformed him.

[Nathaniel Prime]

Besides, it looks like they improved the subsequent releases of the mold. Red Wind and Thundercracker have much tighter and secure chest plates. Source is from a friend who has both.

True that Megatron is not that great, but is no way a "bad" toy. Ravage only need a tail to be perfect. Other than that, I'm blown away by the line so far. The Minions are super nice and well worth the full price.

Starscream is amazing. It's only flaw is that the chest part dont have a pin. There. I said it. That chest part is a partformer piece that will go all "G1 Doubledealer" in the future. Still, Starscream is overall way too good for that chest piece to be a dealbreaker.

Soundwave is also amazing. The ship is simple yet clever. My only complains for him is the hollow forearms in bot mode. Plus the useless extra gray gun. Why that gun? They could have used that plastic budjet for forearms panels. Still, that Soundwave kick major ass.

[Microbot]

I like the idea of Hotshot, don't understand why to repaint another Impactor...into impactor!.....A new full camera from Refraktor? I'm not sure about this...I mena....if they get all the same colors of G1 toy...no thanks... More curious about the new the name of the next line of figures in the Generations War For Cybertron line. New Titan Class figure revealed. New Commander Class reveal, and new Leader Class reveal. This is hinted to be a car or armored car.

Iconic? That really rules out Tor III then. And Brunt is iconic now because of his Siege figure. Fasttack, who already has a bot-mode (unlike G1 Brunt!), is more than deserving of the weaponiser treatment.

I was gonna skip the Siege Seekers; heck, I just got Generations Thrust to complete my collection of all seven mass market Classics mold Seekers; but I don't know now. I assumed from the start of Siege that we wouldn't be getting the Coneheads since Hasbro releasing the same Voyager mold six times seemed unlikely, but if we do indeed end up getting FOUR of the esoteric background characters as repaints alongside the original trio, the Coneheads don't actually seem all that unlikely. For those who have the mold, would it be feasible to remold it with a Conehead head?

Yes, the head just folds into the body cavity and the backpack covers it up, it should be easy to remold at least the head into that of a conehead, tho it does end up very near an arm hinge, so a slight cut-out to the back of the cone may be necessary

[Cyberpath]

I finally cut down the back of Flywheels/Skytread's gun, it was easy and now it fits famously in tank mode. It doesn't detract from any other mode or function.

[Wireless_Phantom]

Would be cool if Hasbro went the CW route and released a legends class figure to go with them.

Dogfight was available, and was glad to join the team

Siege Chromia has filled that spot for me. She serves as the chest piece, using the reversed torso config for Elita-1

Interesting. Hmm. I'm still leaning towards no I think. While having bigger Seekers would be cool, getting all of them would be freaking expensive and they would only be replacing existing stuff on my shelf rather than adding to it. Not enough value provided to justify the likely rather high price tag.

Well, it is a great mold, I say, choose your favorite color and grab one

The thing with Seekers though is if I get one, I'll have to get them all. Just one seems... off; especially if displayed alongside my seven Classics dudes.

Alittle fun with Refraktor and Fortress Maximus!

his camera mode just feels so right, I love it; hope to primus the selects toy accurate rumor is true, can't wait to double dip on this set

[SGMLordMirage]

Very true and yes cannot wait to see how that one is!

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

That's amazing and reminds me that I need to do a pic of Unicron using PotP Skullgrin's suit weapon as a beard trimmer.
