That size is crazy....

haven't watched the thing in detail... but it's shaping up to be an awesome toy. TF of the year will prolly be a battle between this and omega supreme for me.

Really wish he would have also used a CW Combiner for size comparison to see just how accurate Hasbro's 11-inch claim really was.

When Hasbro first revealed Jetfire, they claimed it to be 11 inches tall.

That height, however, would make the figure shorter than the likes of the CW Combiners (who are all about 11.5 inches tall), when all images of the toy make it appear to be much taller than that.

Eyeballing it he’s 2 “leaders” tall or 3-4 deluxes.... i’d say 11-12” is on the money.

He’ll certainly be bulkier (if not heavier) than the combiners. He’s got a big ol’ empty chest and backpack shell

Interesting preview! Reviewer needs to clips his nails lol.

Yeah, seems about 2 Siege Leaders tall, so you can guess his size

Looks about the same height as Masterpiece Ultra Magnus.

The chance I'm not getting this is exactly zero.

considering I found this along with 3 others at Walmart, this morning, I'd say no.

Hi, new Autobot here!
Recent fallen n love again with TF toys..a.fter a long time to not buy anything, but the Siege line is really cool form...you think there any possibility Hasbro will realize Wheeljack and Bumblebee into this line too? I know Wheeljack was asking to fan to choose, but I just still hope the will give him another possibility...and maybe some Dinobots too? thanks for replies

Interesting, I just tried the video again and now it's not working on my phone (even though it's where I watched it before I newsed it)

I need to check something.

It appears to be working now. The glitch I'm sure was the video itself, not your link, since I accessed it from youtube directly and still had problems.

Hello there! General Kenobi

I think at some point in the next 3 years, Wheeljack and Bee will be realized in some form, not this year, but maybe the next 2 years after that.

I doubt we are going to get a full Dinobots team again soon, after the PotP ones

Tell us how he colors on Sixgun match up with Takara Tomy's release of Metroplex. I have the SDCC version of Metroplex, and the reds are just a bit off from one another, but not enough to be distracting.

Just found Sixgun at Target today, so I can do the comparison that was requested:

Sixgun's red is noticeably darker than Takara Metroplex's red. Not enough to really mismatch, but it's fairly noticeable.

That seems to be the case with Hasbro's SDCC release as well. They're not quite the same, but they don't at all clash with one another or look out of place when displayed together.

Yes. If I remember right, that's the case.

The Facebook page for In Demand Toys has been updated with images revealing both the Skywarp Battlepack and the Firestorm Battlepack from the Siege line. These are all exclusives, like Greenlight, which is also shown. The Firestorm pack includes a black redeco of Siege Sideswipe which sacrifices his G2 symbol for a Battle Master, along with Slamdance who is a reuse of Flywheels. Skywarp comes with his own squad of Battle Master redecos. From previous listings we know that both of these sets are priced at the leader class price point. From what we know of Greenlight, these will probably be Amazon exclusives in the US, though that is still to be confirmed.

Enjoy and tell us what you think!
