I don't know why you're fighting this so hard, if the neck plate looks different, that would constitute a running change, if it doesn't then tryp is just lucky, just do some investigative journalism

Yeah, I need to know too, this is intriguing since my figure looks the same as everyone else's. Is it the neck flap? Mine is still tight like new, so that doesn't bother me one bit.
P.S., does anyone have a problem getting the front section of Siege Megatron's tank mode into the notches up front? It's not the actual tabbing that's the issue, but it's getting that part between the tank treads. There is almost no clearance, and requires me bending the plastic a little to otherwise do so, and I'm worried that I'll break it.
Yup, another reason why I just don't like this mold

Am i looking at tje right thing? Both images have an extra line going through the halfway mark. Mine does too

Mine's from January before the Selects megatron was released or announced at all, so more could be in the wild, A running change for Megatron is possible, unlike starscream, where we had no reports after that one dude

I see it now, thanks. That is indeed different.
Also...

Mine is from January as well. I got mine in Canada when they were first found in stores.

So I guess the $64 question is, is this an intential change, or a deviation between two casting moulds? I wonder how many Hasbro has in play for a figure, if they are stamping an entire run out of one or if they have 2 (or possibly multiple in one) seperate cut to speed production? Moulds are expenvie, but I could maybe see production being high enough to justify having them.

Thanks! Did it sound like I didn't like him much, or were you being ironic? I can't tell.I do like him, as of writing this, he's my favourite CHUG! Just think he can be even better.
Looking forward to Megatron (although Galvatron would have worked better with the whole Rebirth thing.)

Found ONE, just one Siege figure locally. Starscream.
Looks good in both modes, but some parts are a bit too loose, for example the chest just pops off with a strong breeze.
Then the fists don't want to seem to fold up properly.
Are those things a thing with him or did I just get super lucky?
