Googled!


I mean really, if there is a robot with a plain on it's back, it can most likely pull off a Gerwalk, amairight?

Located over on tfnd on Facebook we've discovered a new Japanese review of Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Omega Supreme by TakaraTomy designers!

I've found my people . They did the exact first 2 things I plan to do with my Omega Supreme, whenever I do get it

1. Compare/Contrast with UW Devastator
2. Connect to other TR Titans and Leader base modes




3. The *Splits*...nah, not doing that, but its good to know he can, for such a Big Guy

Hey D-Max Soundwave’s extra gun forms a perfect handle for Smashdown.
Full on John Henry mode:

[Nemesis Primal]

Well considering my Siege collection so far consists of 1 Battlemaster, 1 Leader, and 7 Deluxes...

Top 3:
1. Galaxy Optimus (Grew up on the Unicron Trilogy, always wanted the original Cybertron Optimus but never got him, so the combination of nostalgia/wish-fulfillment, articulation, and bonus inner G1 Prime make this a win for me)
2. Ironhide (Nice meaty Deluxe, awesome weapon, the finally factor of getting a good Ironhide)
3. Sixgun (My favorite of the Weaponizers due to the versatility of his parts, his unique alt mode, and overall awesome look)

Honorable Mentions: Brunt, Smashdown

Bottom 3 (and none of these are even bad figures):
1. Hound (Least interesting of the figures I own, annoying to get the legs past the back kibble mid-transformation)
2. Skytread/Flywheels (minor mold issues with tank mode, waist swivel limited by jet kibble)
3. Cog I guess? (Least poseable Weaponizer, handheld guns only fit properly in his hands, alt mode splits slightly too easily)

I can almost guarantee this list will be more varied once Siege is over, I'll have a whole other size class involved even once I get the Rainmakers, Apeface, and Soundblaster.

I think his head’s supposed to dip down on purpose if only just for this pose:
“Such heroic nonsense.”

Doesn't the head also push all the way in for alt-mode? My neck flap is very tight and I use the up and down motion in the same way for posing. Was there copies released that were too loose to hold their own weight?

Love it!

Here's my own (well, not really my own, it's from reddit but I wanted to show you)

Only thing missing is a hammer and he is God Magnus

[ZeroWolf]

That is a thing of beauty...

Hi guys, thanks to your feedback I just ordered a lot of transformers
Who cares about the money, transformers is my biggest passion
I'll post a photo when I receive them. Anyway, here's my actual collection, all of it comes from my childhood times.
Love you guys, happy to be a part of this community!

Hey D-Max Soundwave’s extra gun forms a perfect handle for Smashdown.
Full on John Henry mode:

Sad part is, I am not getting either Soundwave or Springer, and those both are sources for longer handles or double headed hammers! ugh!

Speaking of which, PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Smashdown is a triple-changer!

Hammer
Minotaur
Ghost Trap

My god that’s a thing of beauty.

Dude I feel like I can’t accept defeat here. If you’re not getting those guys then I have to think of something for you. Hmmm... I need to go through my TF parts.

Not that there’s anything wrong with a small handle. I have an uncle with a small handle. I’m just sayin’.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Holy shirt! You just made me think of something sort of related!

Ratchet will come with a 5mm compatible wrench. Nautica will get her wrench!!!!

YES!!!!!!

Are you telling me I have a little handle

[Stargrave]

What? Wait, NO! Nonono...not that there’s anything wrong with that

Dude now I’m dyin’ to see what you’re remembering.

Just throwing in my two cents on the Commander Class Jetfire debate, but I think the figure is exactly what should be expected for the price and the size class, given how the rest of the Siege line has shaped up so far. Jetfire/Skyfire looks just like his G1 Sunbow character model, most so in robot mode, but also very appreciably so in alt mode. The mostly white with some light blue and red highlights is right on the mark. Although it may look plain to some with all that white, that's the way he's "supposed" to look. There is a slight difference in the white plastics used throughout the figure, though, mostly in the lower legs and shoulders, adding that "dirty/gritty" battle-worn effect without going overboard. It helps break things up a bit.

As for the transformation, it's just as complex as it needs to be. Although a lot of it is fairly straight forward and unsurprising, it does do a lot of neat things with hiding the head in a "trap door" on the booster pack, and the way the booster pack, thrusters, and legs all come together is really neat and satisfying. Jet transformers almost always look like a mess from underneath, a squished up robot with a jet on its back, so I'm not holding that against Jetfire now. Skyfire was a blocky looking jet in the cartoon, acting as a Autobot troop transport in Season 1, so the bulky undercarriage makes a lot of sense when viewed from the side. And yes, he is VERY big, even in robot mode, in the cartoon, so this size class suits him well. Watch some of the classic episodes of the G1 cartoon again with Skyfire and then pose him next to Siege Optimus Prime or Starscream. Hasbro and Takara got it right.

A lot of us, myself included, don't really pay enough attention to the "play factor" of these figures either. Jetfire has a LOT of that going on for him, with blaster/thruster/damage effect parts, the ability to fit a Titan Master into his cockpit, and hang bars to "fly" Deluxe Class figures into battle. He's even got a ton of extra armor and weapons to play "dress up" with!

Is Commander Class Jetfire worth $80? He's half the price of Omega Surpeme ($160) and just as tall and massive as a Combiner Wars combiner ($80 - $110). If the transformation were more involved, including numerous robot kibble hiding panels, we'd be talking about a Masterpiece level of engineering, and the $80 price point would blow up like no one's business (well, I guess maybe Takara's business). So, $80 seems right to me, but then again, some people would argue that $20 is too much for a Deluxe sized figure now.

Got notified that Lancer got shipped last night and she was on my porch when I got him from work. Joints are a little more loose than the rest of her cast mates but still pretty good. Had to take a picture of combined mode before I put them back on display.

[Hero Alpha]

Not replied in awhile so; Skyfire looks awesome to me and so Sunbow G1, which I love. Scale is pretty close, if maybe an inch or 2 too tall. Leader def too small thou. I have him preordered on Pulse, was going to order when he was available, but that didnt last long.

Hope next commander class figure is SkyLynx

Finally a Rung figure.

Undecided on Astrotrain, even thou it looks fekin sweet, I have Legends version.

Seekers look awesome. I could totally understand someone loading up on this mold. But I have Planet-X WfC Starscream, Igear Raptor Thundercracker, plus waiting on Maketoys Cross Dimension Skywarp, to finish my main 3. But thinking of getting Redwing maybe or another single release.

Apeface is one of my fav Decepticons(also used to be my fav G1 toy), along with Octane who I have Legends version of. Now going to have great updated versions of both. Pre-ordered on Pulse.

Stakeout is best micromaster. And I like him from Wreckers. Masterforce...meh lol. Like most other, Laserbeak is pretty sweet and Ravage is tolerable.

Got to order the Fan Vote 3 pak on Amazon at just 25$, all I had to do was get an Amazon credit card, which cost nothing. Love the IDW head Impactor, and the version I wanted. Powerdasher is a nice surprise and holo Mirage is a nice novelty.

I want Unicron bad but cant really afford him. Hmm, even thou Amazon did just give me a CC, lol.

My top 3 Siege figure so far(that I have):
1 Springer. by far. So awesome and Sunbow G1.
2 Flywheel. So cool and fun. Finally we have both duocons.
3 Prowl. Great Datson bros mold. Cant wait for Smokescreen

[The_Cryptid_Person]

Don't think I've seen Orthia with the green limbs as arms and orange limbs as legs. Guessing it would look a lot better than the official combination

But do you mean arms like this?
