Anyone know who is re-shipping with Apeface and Astrotrain in wave 5? My guess is Voyager Optimus and Leader Magnus, so families can have big-name s for the holidays, but I'm still hoping Voyager Springer or Leader Optimus have a shot.

Why does this matter? Repacked figures seem to have better chances of getting marked down, like most of the PotP Leaders, PotP Jazz, TR Wolfwire, some Prime Masters, and even Siege Shockwave a few days ago.

* Warden says Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime is based on the "Armada series.

In other words, Warden says "Please bap me over the head, Aaron Archer."
Speaking of Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime, I got him at Target today and am having some serious buyer's remorse.. I passed up Hound and Red Alert to get him, and in hand out of package I'm finding him very "meh". Is it too late to exchange?

Since Wave 5 was added in then, I wonder if the likes of Astrotrain and Ape face etc were supposed to debut in the next part Though I'm a bit confused by it, since Siege is popular because of the toys, not because of the name, so why add a wave five? As long as the toys are of the same quality, what does it matter?

John Warden interview:

Among the things discussed...

* Leader Astrotrain is based directly on the G1 cartoon model sheet with cartoon-accurate colors. Included with him is a weapons box that holds a lot of weapons and becomes a tender for the steam train mode and opens up to become a launch gantry in shuttle mode.

Not the final model it seems. The one TOEI Animation used had purple wings. Takara made the same "mistake" with the Legends deco.

Have to say that the storage-box/launchpad/rails gimmick is pretty cool, but the look of the alt-modes put me off the figure.

Confirms that Soundblaster can hold two tapes inside his chest

I'm just happy that Soundblaster has red optics. My plan since his leak months ago was to switch his with Soundwave's to give Soundwave the cartoon accurate colored eyes, IF they were indeed red instead of yellow. Anyone know how easy it is to pop the light piping plastic out of Soundwave's head? I hope it's not glued in there.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fresh from his recent appearance at SDCC, Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Deluxe Class Ratchet has been found in a Toy's R Us in Hong Kong! And it wasn't just one that was found either but a whole shelf full. The sighting appears couresty of fellow Seibertron user, TFanPage101, who found it on the Snakas blog, who presented the picture. According to Snakas, the image was posted to the HK-TF Facebook group.

I'm glad I could help. I hope to find this figure out here soon. We don't have Walgreens and the store that's supposed to sell them in Canada doesn't usually get them here. It's weird.

What do you mean? EB Games has had the exclusives and they were very easy to find the past 2 years.

Wreckgar can still be found. Beside, if a toy is unavailable at a E.B store, they can check their system and tell us where it can be found. Then simply call and they'll set it aside. There's E.B Games everywhere.

I love the current E.B Games, who is now a pretty decent geek store. Let's hope Gamestop will not bring E.B Games to the grave with them.

BTW, Entertainment Earth cancelled my order of Gen Select Stepper and Lancer for reasons. I'll have to order them from somewhere else in due time.

"Here" being the west coast, more specifically my area. We're like the tail end of the country and usually we don't get all the exclusives. Never saw the clone pack in the stores.

Finally got Brunt. He is smaller, true, but I love him.

Be careful everyone - you need to gently pull out his forearms in robot mode until they 'click' but it's easy for the whole forearm to pop off the swivel joint if too much force is applied.

Weaponizers feels like owning Micronauts or Diaclone toys it's just too much fun there's so much versatility.

Maybe a third retool of Hound then? Just because those are Hounds weapons, then again you've got weapons from all over right there.

Yup. Happened to me a zillion times when I was fiddling with him yesterday. He is indeed pretty fantastic though. I somehow spent like an hour messing around with various backpack modes for him with his buddy Full Tilt. Weaponizers are fun even with older figures not designed for the play pattern.

My wife got to hear my ten minute dissertation on the significance of having Brunt now with Trypticon and why that’s important I had diagrams and everything

Did you show her the Powerpoint presentation?

Nice job condensing it down to an easily digestible ten minutes.

Amazon delivered Smashdown and he’s just too neat.

Personality-wise though I try not to judge but he’s always in the red and has a serious stick up his butt.

Way to hammer out a good joke!

Remember when all of you said that the Rainmakers looked like knockoffs? And that you wanted more color variation?

Do you take it back now?...

Dude... you just gave people more reasons to troop-build the Rainmakers for another Seeker army.

80$ for 3 Voyagers is a bargain...
