Do the feet pieces have markings like "R" and "L"?

Yes, they do have. After swapping them they are on their right sides now so before they have definitely been assembled wrong.

I'll have to check mine when I get home. I wonder how many have this error? It seems like it could be random if the factory wasn't paying attention to the L and R stamps. In other words, by chance, it should be right about 50% of the time. Does that make sense?

Just checked and, sure enough, mine were swapped.

Though, I could only spot the L mark on one. The other instead looked to have a 2 instead of an R.

The toes either say L1 or R1. But the 1 looks just like a line: |

Taking my Sixgun into the best lit room of the house, I see now that the toes of mine actually read "L2" and "R2". Huh.

Finally found Battle Masters Wave 2 (Aimless & Pteraxadon) at a Walmart here in Mechanicsville, VA. In addition spotted Micormasters Wave 2 (Red Heat & Stakeout). No luck in spotting Laserbeak and Ravage.

"GEEWUN pandering?" It's probably more like "we know who butters our bread."

QFT.

I'm still waiting on the Wave 2 battle masters, specifically Aimless. My Walmart just expanded its Transformers section, so I'm expecting a big shipment to arrive.

I ordered the wave 2 Battle Masters from amazon.com a week ago (to Germany). Still faster, cheaper and easier than to buy/hunt for them in here.

So for those that have Galaxy OP does the figure's legs drift apart some when in robot mode? I just saw a video review where I noticed this and it bugged me enough. I don't care for UM but did he have that same issue? Do you care...can anyone weigh in? My thanks in advance.

What do you mean "drift apart"? Cause my figure's got some looseness when being picked up, but the legs don't move when I set him down

Yup. Same.

[Skritz]

For what it's worth I've noticed Siege figures have a bad habit of always having one loose (or at least, looser than the other) ankle pivot. I'm not sure if it is bad luck on my end or the fact its a very supportive joint but for some reason they all got one foot looser than the other.

Check out Peaugh's video review...even he pointed that fact out. But maybe that was his figure and it's not such a common issue.

Getting G1 Rad makes me really wish we could get a new Rad to go with lionizer. It also makes me think that Lionizer really needed an orange body, though I like that he is a sword now.

[Skritz]

A theory I have for Lionizer's more tame color scheme is that Hasbro figured that, with no Siege Rad around, they'd make him color neutral so he can be given to whoever the buyer feels like.

Cybertron Smokescreen makes for a decent Rad stand-in, especially with that Rad-looking head of his.

Yes, I mentioned it in my review too. It seems to happen when it's fully armored.

I didn't notice this on mine. Maybe there are some a bit looser but not that much that they'd move only because of gravity. The hip joints in comparison are a whole other story. But I guess it's because the SIEGE figures' limbs are more heavy than others'. Voyager OP for example with his stuffed legs and backleg covers and screws to keep them in place. That's a lot of more weight than figures got before.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user and Toy Reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, we have a brand new English review of the newest Leader Class release for the Transformers War for Cybertron Siege line, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime! This toy (which several users have been able to find at retail) is a retool of the previously released Leader Class Ultra Magnus mold, now redesigned to look like Optimus Prime's Super Mode from the Cybertron cartoon and toyline. The inner prime resembles a more stylised G1 Optimus Prime.

Check out what Chuck has to say here and watch his review which we have embedded for your convenience.

While there are a few flaws to Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime, the figure is a great tribute to the classic Cybertron Leader Class figure. The armor comes together nicely although getting it situated on the back can be tricky. It also would've been nice to see some extra folding bits on the cannons that could replicate the spring-loaded features from the original toy too. Overall it cuts an impressive silhouette and would look good on any shelf.

What do you think of this review? Will you be tracking this version of Optimus Prime down? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Just snagged mine at Walmart on lunch...canceled my Hasbro Pulse pre-order lol...

I am looking forward to opening him up and checking him out!!

Hmm, I've heard of that, but haven't looked into it too much. Might need to

Finally hit jackpot and found WFC-S40 Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime. Wife needed to stop by a Walmart (Colonial Heights, VA) on our way to the base this morning, and there you have it.

I included a size comparison photo with my other OPs i have at the office.

enjoy,

I too was lucky enough to find one without expectation at a local Walmart. I also found Laserbeak and Ravage set. Now I'm just faced with Prime...should he stay or should he go? Because of my knit picking on the legs and my lousy luck I'm sure the problem is going to be constant with every figure out there IMHO.

I'm just gonna have to stare at it unopened to get my answer damnation!

Thanks EVS and Chuckdawg for commenting.

[SpikeyTigertron]

I’m really torn in this guy. May cave if I see him in person. I’d snap up a Nova or/and Nemesis repaint in a heartbeat. Probably if they hadn’t used the cab bot in the comics, it would be an easier pass.

Chuck brings up a good point. A repaint of sixgun as Leo/Nemesis breaker would be awesome.

[SpikeyTigertron]

Also feel like he steals some is Ultra Magnus’ thunder....which is funny because I almost prefer Magnus in his cab form.... I guess the shorter/squarer/angrier prime works for him as a City Commander; and contrasts well with the voyager Prime which is taller/leaner

[Deathsanras]

It would be really awesome if video reviewers could learn to speak like actual human people.
