Toyhax has labels and the needed tail fin for 6
With that tail fin the tetrajet looks sooooo much better
I would say the sets are worth it

Now all you need is a Skywarp!



No! That gray thing isn't Skywarp. Skywarp is BLACK. You can call the thing Hasbro released Smokestorm or some nonsense like that. But that's definitely not Skywarp.

Uhhhhh... No? That actually is pretty good with Skywarp's color scheme

SKYWARP IS BLACK! END OF STORY! You & Hasbro are screwing with my childhood memories & my very first Transformer back in 84. Out of the 3 seekers I chose the BLACK one because he was BLACK. I didn't choose the dark gray one because there was no dark gray version.

SKYWARP IS BLACK, LAVENDER/VIOLET & SILVER.
SKYWARP IS NOT DARK GRAY, LIGHT GRAY & MAROON/CRANBERRY.

Don't argue! Everybody knows Skywarp is BLACK, SILVER & VIOLET. Just like everybody knows the sky is blue & the grass is green.

If you tell me Skywarp is gray I will tell you Optimus Prime is actually orange or yellow. And then I would be laughed right out of the room.

BLACK! ALWAYS HAS BEEN BLACK! And I never imagined I would be arguing about this. If Skywarp is gray then so is Darth Vader. Sheesh! For Christ's sake! What the hell is wrong with this fandom?


Is Soundblaster gray too? Because Hasbro made him gray once. But the new Siege Soundblaster is BLACK. So which is it? I'm going with BLACK because BLACK looks a million times better.

Skywarp will probably have a selects version with accurate coloring, even the classic seekers varied in colors/patterns between henkai/classic and not all of them were accurate from what I remember. Would be interesting to know what colour blind people see the brighter seekers as.

[SGMLordMirage]

Love the photo of the Seekers. Slowly but surely I will complete this group. As someone stated about reprolabels providing the part for the tetrajet mode, I think it enhances the look.

Easy now, just relax. He is saying that the siege Skywarp matches the original g1 CARTOON color scheme (except the purple - the purple on him is much darker then it was on the cartoon) Also, he is not as grey as pics make him out to be, he is much more of a matte metallic gunmetal. its quite striking in hand tbh.

That being said however, I do prefer the Jet black (pun intended) with silver as opposed to the cartoon colors. Who knows, we may see a g1 toy version repaint down the road at some point. Wouldn't surprise me at all.


coneheads anyone?

This has got to be the most overblown nitpick I've seen all week.

I think he looks fine in hand really. Photos have a thing for making everything look a little off anyway.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Who else is collecting them all?

I recently completed the set for a friend of mine. He had Starscream and Thundercracker, I got the other five. It was a lot harder to source the "exclusives" in the UK, especially the Rainmakers, than I expected. It is pretty ridiculous for a chain to retain a toy exclusive in countries it doesn't exist in

Unless it is an Amazon exclusive, which is a global company, surely regional exclusivity should end at the country border? Or Maybe Hasbro UK could step up and sell them directly, if they weren't so F'ing useless

But I digress. They do look good, but the overall aesthetic is definitely hurting without the tail fin. They've done well to release 7 of the 17 Seekers so far though. The Tetrajets are also the most faithful to the Cybertronian altmode mandate of SIEGE, to date.

Fingers crossed that maybe someday...

...The WFC line will follow suit with others I would be interested in...

coneheads anyone?

Firstly ... to the person that reported this post, please ensure that it actually violates the forum rules in some way.

Secondly ... thank you for bringing it to my attention. I needed a good laugh, and this definitely provided it.

Blackity Black Black!

The Coneheads really do need to be a [Cybertronian] mold variant though, not just a redeco.

They will probably use that new earth mode mold and come out next year or so. Would make sense since we never saw them on cybertron, unlike the others.

Question for everyone who has bought Thundercracker from Amazon. What shade of blue has he been shade of blue has been shipping from Amazon. I found him this morning at Wal-Mart in the light blue. In my excitement that I found him and my lack of caffination I didn’t really pay attention. I would really prefer the darker blue so was hoping that was what is shipping from Amazon.

Mine is the same color as the one I saw on the shelf in Baltimore, Maryland two days ago.

[william-james88]

Thundercracker will be the same colour nomatter who you buy it from. His lighter blue is to reflect his appearance in the show's premiere. If you want darker colours, you will have to parts swap him with ion storm.

Hey, we all have our hang-ups about something. For me it’s when Sideswipe toys get produced without rocket launchers

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm hoping the Starscream rumor is fake and we are getting Coneheads. We desperately need them

[Decepticon Stryker]

Anyone know if there's a blacklight code on the Rainmakers' box and what it is?

Ok thanks. I thought I had seen somewhere that he was gonna be in both color schemes. Guess I’ll keep the one I have.
