Before we go any further, I have to ask, does this Omega Supreme figure have waist articulation?

He does, he definitely does. We get that question a lot! “He’s cool, but does he have waist articulation?” It’s funny how much the G1 toy design has influenced people’s opinion. I remember as a kid this guy really throwing down in the cartoon, and he would bend at his waist, and could do all this different cool stuff. I remember playing with the G1 toy as a kid, and thinking to myself, “Wow…not only is it smaller than the cartoon, but it’s definitely not moving like the cartoon.” Fans of Siege know there’s a lot of articulation we built into these figures, and we wanted to make sure that the Titan Class character also had the same level of articulation.
Amazing how cartoon accuracy comes into play here as desirable, whereas some Masterpiece collectors now decry it as a crime.
You are talking about two different things, what fans dislike in the MP line is cartoon aesthetic. That's not what's being talked about in what you quoted.

Their is a difference between what Siege does in that regard as compared MP figures. The Siege stuff still has lots of heavy detailing and although it is more show accurate it can still mesh with past generations figures. MP on the other hand has taken such a drastic shift from being a mix of aesthetics to being almost purely G1 toon than people are being turned off since the new stuff doesn't mesh as well.

It is tough to tell if he has waist articulation or not. All of the Hasbro digital renders have him mistranformed. The nose of the jet is supposed to fold under the cockpit but it isn't in the official renders (so very Hasbro). The Takara official photos have him correctly transformed, but I can't tell if there is a waist swivel or not.

Back to Omega Supreme, I know if i could afford it, i would almost buy two of these, just to display in both modes. I know my future transformers room back home, won’t have room for that!

Sometimes it isn't always about you
Before I got let go, my desk was full of Transformers and SW Black Series. Not only did they help me get through the day, but they were good conversation starters.
Same for me. my office at work is loaded with a spattering of transformers, legends, and motu. and count me on the list of 40year olds who play with their toys, and DAMN PROUD OF IT!

What was disappointing was something that is either a design flaw or quality control issue. The pegs that are meant to be held in gun mode don't do their job at all, and they end up flopping around all over the place unless the gun is held straight down or completely horizontal. I'm not in full on buyers remorse mode, but I don't imagine I'll be getting any more.

That's the downside to ball joints sadly. Mine hold up fine, but they are usually in weapon mode, save for Lionizer, so they don't hold their weapons often.
Shame you are out of the Battlemasters too, considering we have the epic SMASHDOWN coming!

Sorry, I think I was unclear. I meant to say the handle of their gun mode is like, slippery? Like there's no friction when the gun mode is held so it can basically spin around freely unless in a position where gravity has little effect.

Ah, ok, I see now. Mine still don't have that issue, so it might be a bad copy in your case.
But don't let that stop you from trying some others out. Smashdown looks to be great, and they're only small pocket money guys, so it doesn't hurt to try them out, especially with the cool blast effects

I feel you there, I was not gonna get the Siege voyager Prime, and then I did in a moment of weakness, and by golly he is one of the most fun figures to Transform I own. He is an amazing figure and I am so glad I picked him up. /

Same story here. When I first saw Siege Prime I was like, "I don't need this, I already have 2 classics Primes, and the Ultra Magnus repaint. Getting this would be pointless." Yeah, that didn't last long, and I'm super glad I got him too. It's kinda nice to have a pretty definitive G1 Prime in my collection.

Agreed. I finally have a G1-ish Prime that is completely competent in both modes, transforms in a very fun manner, and is just great by himself. Oh and he has an ax, that is a huge thing for me, I love axes

Yeah! The axe is badass, plus after I bought him I realized that it's the only Prime I own that actually has the Original G1 style blaster, which was super cool, as it always was one of my favourite weapon designs. Although, it does seemed to have sparked something of an Optimus collecting addiction. Since him I've also picked up SS05, The TR Voyager, I've got a POTP Optimus coming soon, and I've got my eye on ss38

Oh man, you want to talk about OP collecting, this all happened by accident, I was not planning to collect Optimus Primes!
I look at the Optimi from the previous lines, and while each has some good, none are quite perfect. CW Battle Core Prime gorgeous and I love the bulk and the headsculpt. Just wish he was a bit more posable and had better combined mode legs. TR Powermaster Prime/Ginrai (I have Magnus Prime) is pretty good, but I'm not a huge fan of the head, and Magnus owns that mold to me. That is my definitive Magnus. The voyager Laser Prime is really nice looking, but the arms are limited unfortunately. and then the PotP one doesn't have a great alt mode, but fantastic robot modes.

I've resigned myself to the fact that SG Prime will always be my white whale.
But, getting back on topic, how's everyone's experience with Prowl for those who bought him? I've got one on Pre-order but he's not due in the UK till April, and I was curious as to all you folks' thoughts.

I'd love if they did a Selects release of SG Prime from the Siege mold. It'd be a nice little use for a mold that probably doesn't have much of a future

I predict this will end up being one of the most redecoed molds of all time (like top 10).

I'm super ok with that, this figure is easily top 10 of the year already, it's so good, heck, they could even play around with remolding the plates that form the face of the truck, it'd be so easy; but I would buy a sg redeco, and definitely a nemesis version
