Yes, of course.
But I want "easily affordable" figures with updated designs, not just updated articulation, paint etc.

Siege ... it's about SIEGE. :BANG_HEAD:

Um...our bad? This is what happens without reveals. We start speculating and then we talk about the speculation and then we get lost in other stuff. :HEADHURTS:

So true

Nothing wrong with speculation.

And speaking of, as Big Shot & Red Heat are essentially the same mold, does this mean we can mix and match some of the weapon combinations created by the micromasters?

Okay then, to bring it back to siege, how or when do we think they'll reveal the cons?

I'm guessing New York Comic-Con, since they've done reveals there before and that will still occur before the line starts.

As long as the main body's the same

Speaking of which, a Sports Car Patrol is among the listings, except them to be retools of the Race Car Patrol, as Blackjack and Hyperdrive... or Roadhugger as a retool of Stakeout

I keep forgetting black jack started life out as a micromaster. Though unless it looks a lot better in hand, I'll never be combining the race car patrol...

Are you sure you don't mean the "welcoming committee"? Which.. Kinda included the usual three, as well as Sun storm, Nacelle, ect

I'd like to see a new Acid Storm in the Masterpiece colorscheme.

It wasn't, but it is a biennial thing: next one isn't til next year. I have the feeling NYCC is when we'll see the 'cons.

2 more months to wait :BANG_HEAD:

I hope there'll be some leaks before.

I'm torn on leaks, on one hand I want the reveal to be if maximum impact, the surprise of seeing who is getting released...on the other hand, I need to know everything, before its out.

I doubt it'll be that long. At NYCC last year they showed off a large chunk of waves 2 and 3. I think they'll throw us a bone ahead of NYCC, maybe on Instagram or some mainstream website, and then have an even bigger reveal lined up at the event.

Do you think Hasbro would do the DJD (Tarn et all)?

I doubt it given what some of them turn into :lol:

though they could give us a new version with more family friendly alts

Why (not)?
Tarn, Helix and T-Sarus turn into vehicles (OK, the latter two into a crossover of tanks and torture devices), Vos can be a Battlemaster and with Kaon they might have to get a little creative. But a proper T-Sarus would be a must-have for me. And now that there is a licenced Tarn... :twisted:

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 9:13 am

Tarn is the only one who is viable for being a tank. As I said though, give them a new overhaul (like say a reboot in idw) and then we'll see what happens

I guess, they would turn the three into tanks and give Helix and T-Sarus some details to hint at their IDW origins. For Helix of course a (cockpit) window/-shield that looks like the oven door and why not design T-Sarus with a meat/metal grinder and some robotic arms in alt mode? Or an actual compartment inside of Helix to put some Legends or at least Micromaster class figures in. I mean as if there have never been toys which have simulated torture machines :BANG_HEAD:

Outside of fan modes I don't think transformers have really gone that far...being kid friendly and all.

Random thought: What if they release a voyager Megatron that can combine with a deluxe weaponizer (not sure who they could theoretically use) and become Galvatron? Or they do something similar to Magnus and release a Leader class set where Megatron turns into a tank and then "armors up" to become a turret and the armor can turn him into Galvatron
