I dunno, maybe we'll get one of the Sideswipe/Red Alert redeco guys and some more Decepticons.

If we just look at the characters in the trailer with Siege figures that haven't been used yet there's Cog, Cog in Six-Gun's colors, Barricade, Skytread, and Decepticon Impactor. That's quite a few options there, plus I'm thinking we'll likely get Ironhide or at least use of his mold.

I think that red and gray Cog probably has a good chance of becoming a figure. We should probably get an Autobot Impactor with the IDW/Amazon head even if he uses the retail head in the cartoon.

^On the one hand, that recolored Cog (who I wouldn't say is full Six-Gun colors since the chest looks silver rather than white) could just be a throwaway recolor generic. On the other hand, it could also be a SIEGE version of Grand Max's Cog:

I dunno, maybe we'll get one of the Sideswipe/Red Alert redeco guys and some more Decepticons.

It's unlikely they'll give us new molds just for the show, and we already got Scrapface, so which other Cons could they use? Brunt and Barricade are the only deluxe Cons besides Refraktor, right?

You're forgetting Skytread. Also, about Barricade...

Or maybe they can take the Autobot molds and make Cons out of them.

Barricade is already an example of this. And it is what I mainly had in mind (although I wouldn't say no to a Flash Sentry, a Brownie redeco of Refraktor, or Brunt in a bluer and slightly lighter purple and sporting green spots).

Impactor is a good candidate for a Con.

Indeed, although really you could use any of 'em. Hound has an obvious pick: Detritus, contracted by the 'Cons. They could also do Metroshot. That would be nice, give the 'Cons another Weaponizer.

Got my hotlink yesterday from rodimus prime; I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I really like his dirtier paint job, like, it makes me think that whatever he's using in his flamethrowers is also damaging him by proximity leading to the blacks and altered purples

Yeah, I prefer the "extra tasty crispy" battle damage to the "cybertronian bird poop" battle damage.

I'm actually thinking that wave 2 might also include some Earthrise molds. Specifically I'm guessing Leader Earthrise Prime in a "burnt to a crisp" redeco.

"Bird poop"
D'ohohoho! Well, that's pretty much it.

Still, about that Sideswipe...



Who would treat their Lamborghini like a common car that rode all winter?

If your winters are full of black snow, something ain't right, there.

I don't think you live in a snowy area because you'd know about the bane of de-icing salt and dirt that get stuck and gnaw away at your car. What you see stuck on the car above is NOT snow. It's pure powdered highly corrosive and abrasive minerals. Often, it can get browner and darker than this. Disgusting stuff.

[Nemesis Primal]

Sixgun-colored Cog would certainly be a more interesting repaint than "Some of the main Siege shelfwarmers but dirty", at the very least. Detritus would also be interesting and welcome, and I have a mighty need for a Tetrajet Sunstorm figure, but other than that, I can't think of any explicit repaint characters who could be done from Siege molds that I actually think Hasbro would put in this line (barring more Seekers I guess), so I'm just hoping for more surprises like Decepticon Mirage.

[Deadput]

It also depends on who is in the show I would imagine, if this wasn't a Netflix show line based on the cast in that show I would imagine most of these repaints would instead be "new" characters like Hound being Detritus.

[sol magnus]

So I just picked up the deluxe line of Siege Netflix minus Chromia, who wasn't there. I've not opened them yet, as I'm weighing what I want to do with them. Sideswipe and Hound, especially. Scrapeface is a keeper, and Mirage is likely to be one as I can pretend he's somebody else.

I know a lot of people don't like the dirt, but honestly it looks pretty good in hand. The other thing is, Hound has no dirt, but he has worn gold on his hood/chest. I need to do a comparison against the Siege version to see how that plays out. Should I decide to keep him, I'll give the OG Hound to my son. I'm torn on Sideswipe. I may give the Netflix one to my kid minus the weapon since he hasn't been keeping up with them all that well. I don't know. Decisions, decisions.

There were no Voyagers or price stickers for them, so I didn't miss them, but I probably would have bought them and only Scrapface if I had the choice.

I definitely don't want to be buying these guys just for the Teletraan-1 backdrop, but I'm an addict.

[Rodimus Prime]

Mirage doesn't look as much dirty as diseased.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Well, Mirage's deco is more about the "look evil"; the battle damage played second fiddle to that. His deco kinda reminds me of the purple camo on Cybertron Sky Shadow.

Which, given the nature of Decepticon!Mirage...

I **** love that mold. It always bothered me that we didn't get a Cybertron Jetfire in black, white and red.

Is it odd I'm hoping Chromia gets retooled into a Deluxe Elita-1? I mean, given that Elita-1 is a character in the show which doesn't appear in the original toyline it would make sense to add her to the show-specific subline. Plus I'm well aware many people didn't like the buff, combining, jet-based Elita-1 of POTP. Seems a deluxe of her would work better for the scale of the Siege and Earthrise stuff.

[ZeroWolf]

Elita could turn up as a Netflix sub line toy given she's in the show but it depends on her alt mode. Some people wouldn't be happy with Elita having Chromia's alt mode, so that could be the sticking point. How big was she in comparison to Optimus?

I'm really hoping for a new Elita-1 in this line but I don't think it would be a Chromia retool. If you watch the trailer, Chromia has the big backpack while Elita-1 has wing-like protrusions with a wheel inside each piece. They briefly show her legs, and I don't see any wheels. I wonder if she's a motorcycle like her movie version?

This subline has no retooling on the figures, and Bumblebee is not in it either even though he's in the trailer and even more popular thsn elita 1.
This is just rereleasing siege figures for those who want them but missed out while they were on the shelves originally.

[o.supreme]

The second wave will be 5 deluxes for sure to complete teletran, and likely 2 more voyagers and another leader.

And likely more dissapointment.

Just because he's in the trailer...can you imagine the fan reaction if they decide to rerelease CC Jetfire with a dirty repaint

[tube]shitsplatter[/tube]

Pretty sure that's exactly how they apply the battle damage

Doesn't Jetfire already have "dirty" pants? So I guess it'd be an even dirtier Jetfire.

The big question is just how fast Wally would out that one on clearance? What did it take last time, a week after it hit shelves? I know I bought one, then turned around and returned and hot one on clearance.

[Tuned Agent]

We should probably get an Autobot Impactor with the IDW/Amazon head even if he uses the retail head in the cartoon.

Emerje

This 100%. I would buy this on sight, even slathered in battle damage paint.

Ironhide was also mentioned somewhere, so that got me thinking... what if we get a Ratchet with a Marvel-accurate red helmet? I'd have to think about double dipping if that happened...

I'm still annoyed that Ratchet didn't come with a swappable head gimmick

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Well, they could have made him use the Titan Master system. Ratchet and Ironhide with a Headmaster gimmick would be hilarious.

[-Kanrabat-]

Just played with Netfix Hotlink. As expected, his colors are just GORGEOUS! Plus, he's much tighter all over than Starscream, including the infamous chest panel. Unfortunately there's no way to properly plug in the Targetmasters in jet mode. In jet mode we cannot plug in both the null-rays and the TM. Plus the TM plug in very loosely in the weapon ports in vehicle mode.

Still, I appreciate that there's two fire effects included that can go on both null rays and reactors of the jet. Overall, I would have regretted paying the full 60$can for it but for 50$can, it would be very well worth it. Because I got some other TM on secret clearance at 1$CAN each instead of the regular 8$CAN each, I consider that I had a mad bargain on the 60$CAN Netflix set.

So, all is good!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

These 2 are paired up in my Earth Wars team, and after getting Dead End, decided to see if this would work in real life. And it does! I might just keep them as a pair for the Cyberverse shelf. Cratermaker makes for a pretty decent weapon
