Don’t do it Prime!!

The mold!! It’s too good!!

I’ve got the initial release and other than transformation the thing never pops off in either mode it attaches great.

He’s my robot boy and I love him like he was my own sweet charming narcissistic psychopath with enough null ray fueled angst to level an army. So cute!

I'm happy to report that my 91441 Starscream is, in fact, one of the later revisions with the chest and tampographs fixes! 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?

Having “Battlefield Wreckage Starscream” would make for some pretty cool fight scenes.

Slipstream custom?

Nay! Green Goblin custom!

And the name of the gun?

The Jetwave Shockfire cannon

I’ve been trying to play with my Combiner Wars and Titans Return and Power of the Primes figures and I gotta say for me personally Siege wins hands down. Like over all of them.

The standard ankle tilts the better QC the lack of hollowness the Voyager and Leader classes that actually fit in with the rest of the line. Again this is just me but they’re more detailed better articulated more fun to play with all around just so much win. me happy Transformers fan.

TR Overlord is the one figure that kind of fits with Siege but all the others just feel like lower quality toys even though they’re awesome characters and toys and fan wishes come true left and right. It feels like forward moving progress.

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.

Action masters?

Also what characters need the leader Class?

Seriously? You’re comparing Siege figures with non-transformable, minimally articulated, cartoonish robots manufactured in the late eighties/early nineties? We’re just going to have to agree to disagree, as I just don’t even know where to start that discussion.

Cartoonish, but more show-accurate than its contemporaries, like Siege is.

Show-accurate would involve transformations

[Stargrave]

Well there’s a way to fix that problem

He just has to wear that little light everywhere he goes.

Perfect responses you’re killin’ me here

It’s like the only thing bugging me honestly I love everything except the eyes. Was that a thing like before the Robosmasher his eyes were a different color? I’m forgetting where orange eyes came from. Autobots have blue eyes it’s a thing dangit.

Hot damn this is...a pretty decent and quite striking base mode.

I think the eyes just came from "Let's save a bit of money and only cast the translucent pieces in one color". Especially as we've seen prototypes that had blue eyes

Also, I just picked up Springer today. He's definitely better in hand, especially the copter mode. He's a little fiddly in some respects, but definitely a great figure. I do wish the backpack tabbed in better though

Just noticed this about an hour ago, but Siege Mirage is actually going to be the last retail Transformers figure I'm going to buy this year, that was a shocking realization!

Yep. Studio Series is done for the year, Cyberverse is done until we get new spark armor reveals, and Siege wave 5 and Omega won't be till next year, and I'm not getting retail Impactor, Barricade, or Thundercracker.

It's pretty much Mirage, the Fan Vote 3-pack, Smokescreen, Bluestreak, Lancer, Cromar, Star Convoy, MP Blackarachnia, some Flame Toys and a Diaclone. And maybe Ratchet, but he isn't a priority cause I like the RiD2015 one on my shelf with Drift

Are you not in on Siege Apeface or Astrotrain? Amazon has those coming in November and December according to my pre-orders. Also, what about Rung, Singe, Rumble, Ratbat, Direct Hit and Power Punch? If wave 3 Battlemasters and wave 4 Micromasters are already out, then certainly waves 4 and 5 respectively should all be out before the end of the year.
