Hey DMax I’m stealing your awesome idea nugget:
Who here would ever think a build a figure piece in every Siege box would be uh, amazing?
Weaponizers are practically that already.
I think that would be so cool.

Personally, I've never liked the BAF concept... That's why I don't buy any of the Marvel Legends figures. There are some figures that look nice, but others I don't have a connection too. And because of the BAF parts being otherwise useless without the other figures, I end up not buying the figures I like just due to the fact that knowing myself I'd end up buying figures of characters I have no connection to just to complete a figure. But if they did it correctly with the parts having functions outside of forming the character like turning into weapons, I'd be all for it! C'mon Overload!

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I took a few days to formulate my thoughts on Optimus and then we got a puppy and I forgot to post them. Whoops. Anyway, I'm inclined to agree that he's great, Leader Optimus is currently my favorite Siege figure so far. I know that's partially due to the Unicron Trilogy being my source of nostalgia, and he's also my only non-Deluxe so far, but I really like him. I feel like the non-Super Mode Prime is just as playable as the Super Mode, the poseability's great, and while I will not try to defend the trailer-less alt mode being rubbish, and I love the combined alt mode, it feels like a combination Cybertronian firetruck and armored troop transport.

He's technically my second OP, as I still have my Bendy Prime since he was one of my first figures, but I needed an upgrade for scale purposes at least and I couldn't resist the design, so I think Bendy Prime is now going to serve as his pre-Matrix form.

Sorry, God bomber with the 3rd party add on is the ultimate

Just got Galaxy Upgrade Optimus a couple days ago, and I'm kinda loving it. Even comparing him to the original I have (red and black redeco), I almost kinda prefer this new one because it's more... wieldy, I guess?



I do wish there was some way to detach the wing backpack from the chest window piece so I could have him with all these pieces remaining and with just the chest windows without the wings to replicate his armored-down look from Cybertron. Guess I'll just have to get my hands on another of the torso armor piece, unpin the backpack from the chest window/head bit, and find a third-party faceplateless head to put on it. And paint the forearms blue.

Oooh, I am jealous of that Perfect Effect PC-16 Jinrai! I wasn't able to try to get it until very recently, but now it's sold out everywhere, and I can't even find it on eBay.

Magnus’ blue forearms complete the look for me personally. The bulk stays proportional it’s really cool looking. I’ve thought about knocking out that pin too I wish it had that same functionality. He’s totally my Red Nemesis Prime when he’s next to Voyager Optimus.

Yeah, but even if I were to use Magnus' forearm armor (I think it looks a little bulky if I also add Galaxy Upgrade Optimus' own forearm things on top anyway), that would leave Magnus without them, so I'd have to get another Magnus just to get the forearm armor. I think painting the forearms blue would be a more cost-effective way to emulate original Cybertron Optimus' look better.

Our boy, TMan978 have a video review of Siege Springer!
I don't know if it's the first video review on the thread, but here you go:

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

Jeddostotle7 oh WOW, I had no idea ot was that hard to find and not available anymore. Yea I bought it from bigbadtoystore.com when it first dropped and it was my main optimus for years until wfc optimus dropped and I still go back and forth. It's a great piece of hardware.

You've been posting some cool pics, but with all of them in your car, I was getting a bit worried...glad to see in that last one you have a place to call home .

We have a new US sighting for the Transformers War for Cybertron Siege line. The only new release for wave 3 Micromasters, WFC-S32 Decepticon Blackjack & Hyperdrive (Sports Car Patrol), has been found at Fair Lakes Target in Virginia. This can also be ordered right now on Amazon.com for $9.99 by clicking here. For those wondering, WFC-S33 Autobot Powertrain & Highjump (Off Road Patrol) is wave 4.

The sightings come from Golion who posted it on the TFW2005 boards. Golion posted comparison shots with previous Blackjack figures.








Regarding the Siege line, we also have a video review of Springer, who is also being found in the US.

Sabrblade, if you are readong this, the Siege tfwiki page has thundercracker in wave 3, he is only in wave 4.

He’s till schedule for June release along with springer separately in all online retailers. I think there might be 2 separate wave three voyager releases. One all springer and one all thundercracker

[Hero Alpha]

That's cool, I like it.. but I'll do you one better

Dude! Loving that! This is the mode I’ve been going with so far it’s simple but eh it works.

I like it. I tried my last version as something different I hadnt seen before. But I take yours and make; Boombox/Turntable for DJ RumbleKing.

Just getting back into photos after a year and not quite back up to par.

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

Ooooh, I like. That's the one

Ok, I checked at entertinament earth and indeed there are 2 different waves. But it snot all one or the other. It's springer and Starscream, Thundercracker and Megatron

So Sabr, you can ignore that now.

Gotcha. Yeah it’s really weird distribution at the moment. I figured it was all springer and all thundercracker since bbts and tfsource don’t have listing for full cases on either like everyone does and that photo someone took of 4 or 5 springers on a shelf.

I dont know what coast you are on but usually the east coast gets the figures before the west coast does. So for me in CA, I know Springer is on his way

Yeah I’m in NorCal it’s a real roll of the dice sometimes. Not getting the TR wave with Windblade and Twin Twist really hurt.

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

I saw twin twist ONE time at a Walgreens and I passed on it. I saw windblade when I was in WA state and that figure was in a toys r us right before their demise and I passed on it aswell. I'm a picky collector but I can see how that is frustrating.

There is no more rhyme or pattern to it anymore. For a while it was the west getting it first but now we are seeing it all over the place.

[o.supreme]

From what I've experienced based on sightings, It's still pretty much still East-West, (Target & Walmart). Walgreens is the only exception that seems to go West-East.

It seems to be a bit better/quicker now, but the pattern is still basically the same

[G1OPT1MU5PR1M3]

Speaking of target, none of the last wave did I see at all in target, soundwave, starscream, etc. They were all on walmart shelves. Because I hate going into Walmart lol, but they do allow me to open the shipment boxes on the floor so I guess I'll cut them some slack

[o.supreme]

That's cool. Occasionally it seems like one chain or the other will get certain items first, but eventually they BOTH get them. If I even tried asking to open a box at my closest walmart, they'd probably have me escorted out of the store. Of course this is the same place that has all men's shaving products on lockdown, and they actually tie the security devices for high end products to the shelf fixtures... So many G1 Prime re-issues and Siege Leaders that will never get purchased....

I don't have an updated pic, but they did the same thing. The Leader Shockwaves are actually affixed to the shelving with the security device... I can go to another store a few miles in the opposite direction, and it's nothing like this

Hey, that will result in a properly warmed shelf you mean. It’s all about perspective. I’m taking it back Will so help me I’m taking shelf warming back.

I shall not rest!...until, well, I mean if there’s some official append to a dictionary or something what am I going to do right? But! Until then, my resolution shall know no conquerer.
