RiD Bludgeon's style doesn't seem like the best fit with Siege IMO. Features are smooth and rounded, not textured and blocky. That said, I could imagine it working in a display that's telling a story.

For my part, I plan to mix the Classics seekers into my Siege-heavy CHUG display in place of the tetrajets. Hopefully the size and style differences won't clash too much.

I put this photo under the sightings for Virginia but thought i would share it here. A photo of Chromia with her female companions. The package art is pretty cool as well.

Does anyone have the Walmart sku or upc for Starscream and Soundwave?

If you are wondering to look on Brickseek, it appears they are using the assortment sku to show stock: 544955522

It's fanart.

Have to say, though I'm a stickler for cartoon accuracy, that black and silver does wonders for Ironhide. Too bad at least the tires aren't painted.

As for the size and sculpt of all these guys. Looking picture perfect. Can't wait.

Sorry SGMLordMirage. I look at the first pic of all your fembots, and all I see is poor Rodimus Unicronus back there. Is he the Stinky Pete of your collection

Good one, no he just happens to be in that particular spot. :lol:

That spot is actually the top part of my desk at work. There is plenty more there on display!

Ironhide is a huge letdown. Hopefully, I've just got a lemon, but it is an extremely floppy figure.

Also, the side panel flaps on his legs like to pop off every time you breath near him.

As you can see in the picture, the one on his right leg doesn't even tab in. Seriously, the last time I had a figure with pieces that popped off this easy was Alternators Grimlock's doors.

The side panels on mine pop off easily too but other than that mine is solid. Everything is nice and tight.

Are there any confirmed or even rumored combiners in the Siege line?

Unless the Firestormer Sideswipe uses the CW Breakdown mold, then no. That's not even a rumor, just a hope some people (including me) have with the two Sideswipes and the use of Firestormer as both a group name and a combiner name.

You've forgotten about Greenlight and the rumored-but-almost-certainly-happening Lancer. Not a Combiner team for Siege, but would join Power of the Primes Elita-1, Moonracer, and Novastar (and Lancer) to form Orthia.

As mentioned before, Piranacon or Monstructor would work with the SIEGE design aesthetic, as they already (technically) have Cybertronian altmodes. Raiden too, could be brought into the line as well with minimal redesigning into "futuristic/Cybertronian" trains instead.

Tsk... I never ever saw Novastar in store. I'll have to pay the big bucks to get her... Plus if that green girl is an exclusive and the (rumored?) Lancer is too, that will be a combiner that will be pretty expensive in total.

I've noticed these two little flaps on Jetfire's chest and I'm wondering what they could be for. Are they covering up additional effect pegs? Are they attachment points for the chest armor?

News Credits: 101 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Sun Mar 10, 2019 7:08 pm

Most likely where the armor plug in.

landing gear for jetmode is my guess

I think it is for the armor, those bits actually end up on the side of the jet mode and well off the ground, if you look back at the pics fro toy fair

So, I just picked up Ultra Magnus today, and he's awesome. If I could change one thing about him though, it'd be to add a pair of 5mm ports onto the blue bumper so you could add the missiles to Cabnus. As he is though, it's a very nice representation of Magnus. Still trying to decide how I'll display him though. I love the armored mode, but Cabnus and Prime look SO good together

I actually like keeping him in his beefiest of vehicle modes, with cog riding on top of his carrier section
