He claims (shows in video) the ramps are in fact NOT compatible with TR bases. If true, this will definitely not put me off getting Omega, but I wonder why Warden & Co. would make such a claim if not true? Also it will definitely change my mind about getting Astrotrain. It seems he may have some compatibility with Omega, but not with any TR bases. I'm hoping Emgo himself just didn't fully understand or was trying to hook them up incorrectly.
Anyone else have solid proof the base modes can actually connect? I'd love for it to be true
As Sabr pointed out a few pages back, Omega is compatible with TR, and with Siege Astrotrain, but there are 2 different types of connectors and connections points. So far, it looks like Astrotrain only has this newer type of connector and will only connect to OS (and possibly future toys).
For the TR connections, those all connect directly to the track (see photo) and there are 2 connection points one on each track piece. There are 4 of the newer connection points. 2 of them are black flip out connectors on the track portions of the legs. The other 2 are on the end of the ramps, but appear to be completely useless based on where they are located inside the track. I flipped one up to show the connection end a little better in my photo.
There are only two TR connector ports on the track's outer ring, each located in the middle of the curve. The rest of the connector ports on the outside of the track are the new type.o.supreme wrote:I think the best way to describe it is, the outer parameter of the track has TR connections, whereas track-to-track, or track-to-base are the newer Siege ones. They also have a couple of these connected to the launching platform on OS. All these newer ones will also work with Astrotrain, if I am understanding what I'm seeing.

Closest things we've had to Animated since it ended are that new Lugnut in Cyberverse and Thrilling 30 Blitzwing, and no one can tell me that it wasn't just Animated Blitzwing in G1 colorsThough, I will say that Animated would be hard to incorporate cohesively into current lines due to it having such a distinct style. It'd be like putting Bayverse Prime into the standard Generations line. Though, if they toned the chins down, it might work

I can agree with this. animated was so good, we need more of it!

The chest piece didn't even come loose from the hinges during transformation to tetrajet mode and back to robot mode. The Decepticon symbols have the correct triangular G1 eyes instead of the quadrilateral ones from the live action move. Now, what to do with my earlier run Starscream?

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I’m with you. Such a great toy line. I find myself making such great-looking kickass poses so often I’m reluctant to move some of the figures to transform and swoosh around. Solid builds with great sculpts and excellent detailing along with superb articulation equals unparalleled toy experience.

I'm not with you :p but coming to view Siege as good looking action masters for the most part. Can't say I've needed to think of painting any of the tr/legends, most the tr alts are great and figures as good as they are (ultra and springer) lack some g1 touches. If the old leader class has gone for good it makes some characters no longer viable but much like legends size figures hopefully they will return for those that need it.
