Holy damn that had to be expensive and time consuming. It took me a minute to realize it was a painted Fort Max and not Fort Max's head on Scorponok.

Wow that's great work. I don't get Omega's colors though. Shouldn't he be green and purple for Devy, or blue and purple for a guardian?

Pretty sure those are the Omega Doom colors from SG, so it's sort of Omega but not entirely.

and the colors aren't perfect either with SG toys, the Constructicons for instance are mostly white with red accents like medical vehicles are in real life in SG, instead of Omega colors

Okay I was just going with who their opposites are considered to be. Honestly I'm not too familiar with Shattered Glass.

Omega Doom was always those colors.

According to Josh Perez, his colors are based on those of, surprisingly, Cybertron Sideways.

Wow, that's fantastic work! I was hoping to see someone do Siege/Earthrise stuff in Shattered Glass colors, and they not only nailed it, they went all out!

Pretty sure AST means assortment. It's almost certainly just a listing for the entire size class, not a specific figure.

"Battlefield" was a preliminary name for the Netflix Voyager 3-packs. Megatron w/ Lionizer and Pinpointer was originally listed as "Battlefield Megatron". Apparently it's still seeing use in some systems.

Scalping for Phantomstrike is so bad, someone is trying to sell an EMPTY FREAKING BOX on ebay. No joke.

Do most fans want the whole thing or mainly just Skywarp to complete the seekers?

I am still loving the giant space battleship, and appreciating the bad guy surfboard

News Credits: 22 · Mon Aug 10, 2020 10:27 pm

Near-perfect robot mode, passable accessory, mediocre alt mode. Inverting him kinda passes as a giant space cannon. He's still my favorite Siege figure.

Yes, that goes without saying. I was just wondering how many people consider the battle masters to be deal breakers.

For me personally, I want it more for Skywarp and the battle masters are just a bonus. I use the gun mode battle masters for arming up things like city mode Trypticon or Prime's trailer.
I'm probably just going to pick up another Hotlink and use him and those battle masters as a custom Skywarp. Can also easily get Pteraxadon and place a small Decepticon symbol on him and call it a day. Yay for customization lol!

Cool that Walmart isn't the only one to discount Ultra Magnus. I got him at Walmart though.

Another Seeker coming from TakaraTomy:

Hmm, they've yet to release either Red Wing or Skywarp in Japan, so best bet is one of those.

If it is Skywarp that cool. I don't know of any other Seekers we don't have

Still need Sunstorm and Bitstream at least to complete the welcoming committee. Plus we still need Slipstream from that body type as well

Eh, I would prefer the Nacelle that actually uses the Conehead body with the standard seeker head. Makes him more unique.

As long as Thrust actually comes out this year, after this year we only need 7 seekers to complete the ranks: Sunstorm, Bitstream, Nacelle, Slipstream, Sandstorm, Blackout, and Wheezing Arrow (yes, I know he only showed up as a statue in MTMTE as an artist's signature fan creation, but I still want him, he counts, and it would be cool for Sakamoto)
