Greetings fellow Seibertronians! Just in from Snakas.blog95 are some fresh official images from Takara of the upcoming Transformers Siege releases. These are of course, identical to the toys Hasbro will release. Enjoy some new views of Barricade, the Seeker with the smirk Thundercracker, whose blue looks less pastel than before, and the Off road Patrol. These are our best looks yet at the finished figures. Share which ones you're looking most forward to below.

Wish Springer's 'boots' were more gray than blue, but I am still really looking forward to that figure.

Do you think with Springer and Impactor we may get some other Wreckers? I was secretly hoping for a Siege Kup with the Cybertronian focus.

We just got a Cybertronian Kup in Titans Return.

Was he Cybertronian Kup or just future earth truck Kup?

Ooo, good point. Could have been Tesla Kup.

Go COG! Yessss!!

I love how he’s designated as a mechanic and his pistols are welders. Really brings me a G1 vibe with the very specified job functions and ranks.

Is it just me, or are the combined modes for the Siege Micromasters getting worse instead of better? I guess the chief power from that combined weapon mode is that it forces your enemies to laugh themselves to death....

Yeeees it’s a gigglegas gun and your point is...?

News Credits: 3 · by **Wireless_Phantom** » Tue May 14, 2019 9:52 pm

Barricade looks good. I'll be getting those micromasters since they are personal favorites of mine (might get two copies to make Ironworks). If I was getting all the seekers I would probably switch Starscream and Thundercrackers heads.

It's been a week and a half since the previous installment, fellow Seibertronians, but Taiwan Hasbro has uploaded to their YouTube channel the next episode of their Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy - SIEGE stop motion shorts. Thank you to forum member 00stargrave00 for the hot tip on this upload! "Episode 4" features the two faction leaders in their Voyager forums, the Heroic Optimus Prime of the Autobots and the Tyrannical Megatron of the Decepticons. Optimus Prime isn't alone, though. He's backed up by Deluxe Wave 1 Weaponizer Cog! Once again, the short is set in the framework of a fighting game, complete with character selection screen. Unfortunately, the "KO!" declaration at the conclusion of the previous videos has been omitted leaving only the "Victory" banner to conclude the match. Generation 1 fans will recognize the battle grounds as right outside the Autobot's initial base of operations on Earth, the wreckage of the Autobot Ark buried into the base of Mount St. Hillary. There's still no sign of the weapon effects parts of the Battle Master Class of the line. The hits are illustrated with computer generated lasers and sparks. Can Optimus Prime and Cog successfully fend off the evil Megaontron's incursion of their home turf? Find out in the video below!

You can catch up on the previous episodes by following these handy links:

Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3

Megatron's sword flipping was so rad!

I was loving the diorama Ark in the background. Man that brings me back to just being a kid and playing with action figures in the backyard.

And the kids moved my Cybertronian alphabet sheet again...but I'm pretty sure that door does say To Punish and Enslave

Just checked, it definitely does. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll be on the final figure, but it's a good sign seeing it turn up again.

Yes. I.... I do believe that is the movie version of the Decepticon Symbol that was also present on Starscream.

Unexpected consistency...

You can actually see that? :shock:

He’s totally right! I didn’t even notice that on Starscream... what, I’m uhhh, nearly far sighted...

Maybe it’s something cool and dangerous like the Decepticon air guard sigil, pshh, because you know Seekers, so elitist. :roll:

Thunder should have a grin, Starscream should have that smirk, and Skywarp should have a jerk face, you know, like he just smelled a fart or something.

Or the designers can't tell (or rather, don't bother with) the minute differences between the G1 and Movie styles.

Again, definitely getting the Off Road Patrol. btw, did anyone else notice that aside from the Air Strike Patrol, the members of any given Patrol chosen for Siege are not gang-molded (i.e. share plastic colors) back in G1?

Makes me hope their "other partners" might be hiding somewhere... but I've been pleasantly impressed with the diversity of colors in the two packs.

Some one left thundercracker uncovered whilst painting the ceiling silver, other than that he's a likely a buy and some stickers to cover up the faction symbols.
The legs look weird on the car bots to me photo wise but not been tempted to get any yet.

Barricade's (Prowl) legs? Yeah, they don't photograph well, but they look much better in person. Some of that is the weird "heel" on them like the MP "Zs"
