What's an Instagram?

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...

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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?

[Buck2814]

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.

Same. I'd rather see them retool the mold we already have.

It will still probably be that.

Ok, maybe Siege Skywarp IS dark grey and dark purple instead of true black and lavender, the fact that his head makes the lighter color of the body more noticeable doesn't help. Why didn't they just cast those parts in the same color as the head?

Because the head was already on a different sprue since it had to be black on all of the other six non-black Seekers released before Skywarp.

[Rainmaker]

I'm guessing we won't be getting the coneheads in the tetra jet form, which is understandable but unfortunate.

That photo of the Siege ones standing opposite the Classic ones is cool!

I love this new Seeker from Siege!

Already got Starscream, Redwing and yesterday bought Skywarp. Online shop in Holland had it as "sold out" and my hopes and dreams were crushed. I always buy Transformers too late from that store, emailed the guy and he said I have 1 left. So I got it right away, hope it will arrive today. Skywarp set is expensive, more than it needed to be. I'd rather have him packed with some Siege deluxe dude painted generic grey and purple.

I <3 Siege, just unpacked Hound. He is soooo cute! And cool! I'm in love with Ultra Magnus his cab robot mode. Ironhide is perfect, but I can't find his hammer (Quit reorganizing the damn man cave room)

Hasbro would do me a favor if they repaint him into the generic purple soldier Seeker.

Anyway, very happy we finally have G1 accurate Voyager Seekers. I was very dissapointed they remolded Armada Skywarp's head, besides the shoulders not having a normal swivel, the Armada Seekers were very cool for their time and years to come.

Siege Skyfire's gun-effects are compatible with a bunch of MPs!













I wish Hasbro would release cheap packs with just effects. In purple, too.

Siege Barricade is up for pre-order on amazon. The listing is currently defaulting to a 3rd party seller, but if you check all the available sellers, Amazon has him for $19.99.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to a point in the right direction from fellow Seibertron user, Cyberpath, we've learned that Loopaza Mega Store's Facebook page has posted new scans of the latest issue of Figure King, which features a host of new images of Voyager Class Apeface! Showing both sides of his Titan master and our best look at how his beast mode head works. There's also pictures of Deluxe Class Crosshairs and the Micromaster Battle Squad.

We've mirrored the picture below for your convenience. Take a look!
