Thanks to DioXDio on Weibo, we have some great in hand images of War for Cybertron: Siege Wave 3! To be specific, we have Smashdown, Caliburst (Slugslinger's Targetmaster), Blackjack and Hyperdrive (Decepticon Sports Car Patrol), Red Alert, Brunt, Springer, and Thundercracker. We also get a good image on how they, along with Refraktor, look in box, including their corresponding box artwork. There are many images here, so we hope you enjoy these looks at these upcoming toys, or as we found out recently in our last article, currently releasing. Have your thoughts changed? Well, tell us in the Pub forums below!

Seriously, why does thundercracker have starscreams head?

[Sentinel_Primal]

Thundercracker keeps looking better and better! Wave 3's really going to be hard on the wallet with the battlemasters, micromasters, three Reflectors, Red Alert, Brunt, Springer, AND Thundercracker. This is going to be the first wave where I actually buy all the new figures for the size classes

Yo, same exact thing happened with Construct bots, remember?

[Albatross250]

Brunt have that same violet color like Shockwave, i might plan to buy 2 Brunts.

[Ultra Markus]

im surprised that with all the different brunt configurations not one was a tower for trypticon

[SpikeyTigertron]

Why does Red Alert's hips/waist look so messed up in a lot of those shots? Also I really hope his windscreen is dark, but transparent like Sideswipe... A lot of those seem over saturated color wise.

Has anyone tried integrating the weaponizers with their titans yet?

There's an official "Weaponizer Fortress Maximus" configuration with Cog combined with Legends Fort Max in the Big Powered prologue manga.

This just reaffirms most of my plans. Thundercracker does tempt me but I think I'll hold out until Redwing. Springer still looks great (even if his grey is the wrong color)

Yeah on further reflection I'm definitely going to have to paint his blue parts grey, and the swords silver

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

A lot of these look really good. I was trying to skip most of this line, but Hasbro knows what I like.

[Wireless_Phantom]

The more I look at Springer's battle damage and leg colors, the more I really hope he gets redecoed as Drift or Deadlock so that the mold can exist in a better color scheme.

[chuckdawg1999]

I'm really excited for Springer but I'm not happy with how they handled the rotor blades/swords. I think the T30 version did it better.

[SpikeyTigertron]

I was just thinking about this, looking at his shoulders, and how his rotor section if painted right *could* look like a car's windscreen.... my money would be on Deadlock with a Drift later in the trilogy.

I agree the T30 did a really good job, but I don't hate how they did it this time around. I like that the blades look like they can clip onto the sides of the gun(s). Guess the sniper rifle is also a "combined" weapon. I think it'll be fun.

...so I read the latest article put up about the card game again out of curiosity, and I think I see another potential first look at a figure. Last time I did this, I got shot down pretty quickly, but I think this might be accurate, given who it is:

Siege Ratchet maybe.JPG

-We know Ratchet is coming already
-That does appear to be the Ironhide mold
-Has the cartoon-accurate white helmet and black crest I recall most people on this thread expecting
-Most importantly, this card is a DIFFERENT design for Ratchet than the one on his individual card, as his individual card looked to be based off the old Universe mold

So if I'm right this time, then Ratchet absolutely has a molded-on lightbar like I was hoping, a cartoon-accurate head, and possibly those accessories? I'm taking the accessories with a grain of salt for now. I know Ratchet appeared in his Siege design in the new IDW run already, does anyone who's seen it want to confirm or deny this?

He also appeared in issue 4 of the current series in the Siege body.

brunt continues to look amazing; I honestly hope we get alternate faction recolors of all the weaponizers, I just need more of these guys in my life

Weirldy, the weaponizers (and micromasters) are the ones I'm passing on. Not that I don't like them, but to me they are parts of figures I don't have and will likely never get.

Thats fair, I only have trypticon; but I'm super into the weaponizing gimmick, so more weaponizers will never be a bad thing for me

I don't have Fort Max or Metroplex, but that hasn't stopped me picking up Cog and Sixgun. I don't have Trypticon, but I will be getting Brunt. The beauty of the weaponisers is the fact that you don't need their associated titan to be able to enjoy them, as they can bu utilized by other figures and (IMHO) they are nice enough figures in their own right.

I don't think it's bad at all. It's just having some line to not cross so I don't go off the deep end.

I'm slated to get everything from Wave 3 except Brunt, the micromasters and Galaxy Upgrade Optimus, and I'm wavering on Optimus.

Yeah, I get that. And hey, I wouldn't mind having the Titans. They're all acquirable. But I have a tendency to go overboard, and I have a wife and four kids. It's time for me to not go overboard.

I associate them with the Titans, and if I got them I would totally get the Titans. Just better to not go down that road.

The first time we saw Transformers Siege leader class Galaxy Optimus Prime was in comic art, and it seems like our first look at Siege Ratchet could be on some card art. Hasbro is trying to keep a standard image throughout its transformers media and thus the cards have had a lot of Siege themed designs in their art lately. In the latest card reveals, we have an image of Ratchet on the Take Cover card (shown below) and that image shows Ratchet in an identical body to Siege deluxe Ironhide. So this could be our first look at the deco for the upcoming Walgreens exclusive Ratchet. The art shows him with a black crest on a white helmet, which is Ratchet's standard colour scheme in the G1 cartoon.

Wow, siege Springer continues to look like a piece of corn on Thrilling 30 Springer's turd. The decepticon voyagers continue to be the only decent figures in the whole line.

Luckily, it looks like I won't have to spend any more money on siege figures. I showed my kids the pictures, and told them they can get these, or more Lego sets.

They chose Legos. In the past, I'd have been sad, but I'm so disappointed by Hasbro's recent and current line ups, I'm happy not to give them more money.

I want them 3 reflectors, but that means others will go without... And I want Brunt to fit out Trypticon of course.
