Accidentally.

And I get what you mean now about the preorders. There is this thing where Walmart has to have a head start on deluxes, and so Habro preorders for anything before their big toy fair initiative usually ends up close to release date.
Also with this wave having 3 reflectors per case I just dont know how collectables retailers will be doing their preorders.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

This is a great idea to bring more movie inspired parts to the toyline!
But in Drift's case, its bringing IDW verse to an old school G1 setting, not movie inspired. Eslecially since it reflects the decepticon aspect which is not a big part of the movie character.
The point of making Drift out of Springer is because of Guidi having done another piece of fanart of G1 Drift (well, Deadlock) from Springer:Flashwave wrote:william-james88 wrote:TulioDude wrote:Wireless_Phantom wrote:Come on now give us Drift from Springer!

But IDW Drift (Deadlock) was not a Triple Chsnger, so a Springer redeco would be more in line with Movie Drift, than IDW. Although their safest bet would probably be to do an amalgamation of them and give us the triple changer as IDW Drift.
Or Deadlock. I could use him as a seperate chsracter. Nice color scheme

Still not sold on the micromaster cars humping each other = weapon thing but wanting them at some point (ideally half price and being able to complete full teams)

I can see why people are disappointed. A straight repaint of Prowl for the introduction of one of the movie series' most iconic Decepticons is a bit lame. That said, I can't help but like him. Quite a lot really. I just love the colors. Black and purple? Yes please. Definitely will be picking this guy up when he *eventually* reaches the UK.
Also, Reflector? Eh, he's cool I guess. I dunno, I've never really cared about this guy, and this figure doesn't change that. Not that he's bad or anything, just does nothing for me. He cool for people that want him. He's a little greebly too.
I'm interested in what Skywarp will look like too, because, as we all know, Skywarp is the best Seeker. It's a fact.

I've explained this before though. I know different members live in different population centers. I literally can drive in any direction and hit 10 different Walmarts in 30 minuets or less (when I visited all in one day last summer it took about 4 hours). If we say, reduced that number to 2 instead of 10, its likely the toy sections would more like they do in Canada
william-james88 wrote:While your local Walmart's Transformers section might look like a ghost town (unlike my awesome one), it may also now harbour some new toys. The wave 2 Transformers Siege deluxes have been found there. This wave includes Ironhide, Sixgun, Chromia and Prowl. They each come two per case. This particular sighting comes from a Walmart in Columbia, Missouri, and was reported by MelodiousGiant04 on the TFW boards.

Wolfman Jake wrote:That "goblin glider" pic of SIEGE Starscream hits home how much people are over-reacting to his transformation scheme. Yes, that's recognizably still Starscream if you pull off his wings, but he's supposed to have those on his back, along with his shoulder pauldrons. (Where did those go in this picture anyway? If you were going to pull them off for a specific look for the "glider," why not try to put them back on the robot mode?)
Why is it so weird that the part of the alt mode that most looks like wings on an Earth-mode airplane is what ends up as the iconic wings on Starscream's back? Let me put it this way. Studio Series Starscream is an AMAZING figure, and no one can deny it's the best rendition of that character we've gotten from the movies in toy form. However, its arms, legs, and much of its torso don't really form any appreciable part of the jet mode either. They just hide a little better underneath, as is the case with the vast majority of air and jet craft Transformers, but somehow that's okay? Who cares if you can pull off the top of the tetra jet and still have a Starscream that's missing several pieces of his silhouette while still having a head, a torso, two arms, and two legs?
