Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege Discussion Thread
Siege
I haven't kept up with the SIEGE thread lately so I'm just going to ask -- do Refraktor & Brunt have a release date yet?

Wave 3 is being shipped out right now it seems, some reviewers already have the Deluxes and Micromasters in-hand. Expect the brick-and-mortar stores to have them in a few more months... if they're actually up to date.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one 
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
)
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

You know, while we're having fun talking about Leobreaker as a Weaponizer, What if...? they went Unicron Armor?!
Who could they turn into a Weaponizer? I say Unicronus Minor

Then you can arm up Siege Megatron and have him look like some approximation of this:

Ah I know they're not going to go this route, but it's funny how the modularity of the 5mm pegs everywhere gimmick gets my imagination working.
You know in all reality the gimmick is hey everyone we've cored and bored out more plastic than ever before, then we take that plastic and make little guns and fire effects with them and then you buy that separately

And while we're at it I'm sure this has already been pointed out but this guy's got to be on his way down the line...

I would love to see them take the opportunity with Fasttrack to really have him integrate well with whatever Scorponok ends up being. Like have his component pieces be great guns but can also double as towers or repair equipment, something like that.
Hmm, I wonder if they'll just retool Omega Supreme for him.
I was looking at my Trypticon for the longest time just at his torso and wondering if there was any way they'd end up repurposing that for a future Titan and I can see a little Scorpy in there.

Hahaha and sadly, saaaadly….I'd probably buy that too! I mean shoot, if they do some kind of Armada Optimus tribute like we've seen images for from Takara but like just for Siege or Annihilation or whatever we want to call it? Yeah, I'd likely be ponying up for that too.

Hot damn now I want to do this with TR Alpha Trizer Trion. 
Also Fasttrack can totally be retooled from Cog.

That's awesome. I love how huge it is, it's like a kid on a crutch made for an adult he's all listing to the side. Because he's weighted down. With awesomeness.

That's a good call I can instantly see that. Also? Just learned Alpha Trizer is ancient Cheetor like a month ago

Re: Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege Discussion Thread
I do have to wonder if Hasbro would be willing to give Decepticons some UT homages of their own with Demolishor (an easy retool of any tank guy, really) or even a Cybertron Megatron. Latter seems unlikely unless they can figure a way to make him a retool of someone else in the next two installments. Sadly can't think of anyone.

I do hope that we'll get Scorponok as the titan in the next line. Mostly because he's long overdue. Though, I can't decide if I would want them to keep the headmaster the same size as the other headmasters and give him a helmet, or give him a legends class headmaster maybe with the option of storing a normal sized headmaster (sorta like Trypticon with Full-Tilt storing Necro). And I'd imagine that if they did, they'd either include Fasttrack with Scorponok or make him available in the same line

I just assumed that they would make him a double head master, with the larger head master being Fasttrack. He's pretty much the right colors to turn into most of the head, he'd just need a face reveal!

Transformers: War for Cybertron: Siege Springer Sighted in Maryland
- Motto: "It’s all the in the reflexes"
- Weapon: Glass Gas Gun
He's got better things to do tonight than die...like hang out in Maryland Wal-Marts! That's right folks just in from Rocky Fon Leard on Cybertron Cafe facebook group is an image of what appears to be a Wal-Mart with a case worth of Springers...ok that's two Springers but you get my general drift. Unfortunately there was no word provided on any other size classes they may have seen from this same highly expected wave.
Take a look around at your local Wal-Marts gang and if you happen to pick one up please be sure to hop onto our sightings section to report where the new wave is creeping up. Happy hunting everyone!

I found two reflectors in a Walmart in Richmond CA. Along with two grunts and two red alerts. Unfortunately there were only 2 reflectors so I'm still on the hunt for one more.

^Question though, do you find this particular Walmart to be an outlier that typically gets things early, or more to the normal end of the spectrum? Having these sighted in CA gives me some hope, but there are so many stores in my area, and they all seemingly get toys at different times.
Richmond isn't too far, so hopefully soon, even though a single Brunt is all Im looking for.....

Then if I were you, I would go to the Walmart connected to the hilltop mall, because the box was out on a pallet and I left the two grunts. I just wanted the reflectors. And that was an hour ago. They get the toys randomly though.

Yeah, my Walmart had the same thing too, so I believe they are being shipped as cases of two each, which means it won't be too hard to find a third Refraktor or Brunt for your collection.
About what I found:
1) All the complaints I had about Red Alert disappeared as soon as I saw him. His colors are perfect, and he looks great. The missing text don't bother me anymore, and the light bar looks great as translucent red.
2) Brunt is every bit I expected except he's shorter than I though he would be. But overall, probably my favorite Weaponizer.
3) Refraktor is just great. He's taller than I imagined, and I guess that's a good thing, and he has a really cool looking space cruiser mode. Camera is where it takes the cake though, but I only have 2 right now so I can't fully make it. I really feel this is a superior product to all the 3P versions out there, in terms of look, posabilty, and value.
Overall, this wave has some really great figures going for it, and I'm excited about the Voyager waves coming soon!
