Thanks for the link, I ordered my 3rd Reflector at work! Even got to use my Pulse premium coupon and some Paypal bucks, so pretty much got him for nothing.

Now time to go to amazon and buy Caliburst and 5 Smashdowns.

Smashdown rapidly designated the Autobot’s standard melee weapon of the Siege confrontation eh?
Can’t wait to get my hands on all of ‘em but I always try for the shelves and pegs first.

I love Smashdown and everything about her. A Minotaur hammer? Yes please! She's very unique and I want one for the Wreckers shelf in robot mode, and 4 more to sprinkle around as hammers

[DeathReviews]

Take note though there are only two allowed per member through Hasbro Pulse, so assembling your Refraktor camera will still require ordering from another source or some good 'ol fashioned foot work hitting your local brick and mortar.

This is incorrect, the item limit for Refraktor is 3. I just ordered a full set.

It WAS correct when the news broke - it capped my minions out at 2. So we are both right - because I had them go BACK to pulse, and they were able to order three in a separate order. How very odd....

[Trocheman]

Saw a Brunt today at walmart. how hard to get is this bot? rare? looked kinda cool.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

So far, Smashdown has remained officially Genderless, so I am going with "her" until told otherwise, and even then they will probably remain "her" cause I think Smashdown is cooler as a mean Minotaur lady

I'm just giving you ****. Is this completely head canon or did Hasbro flip flop back and forth on some of the documentation ala Cindersaur? Genuinely curious. For now I'd be more comfortable with the pronoun "they" if no gender has been officially declared.

In my case, it's completely head canon. As far as I know and am aware, Smashdown has had no gender assignment. Officially, Smashdown is "they" for now, but for me, it's "she".

I'm hoping Smashdown ends up like Beast Wars Sonar and others where someone pounces on the chance to make a genderless character female.

[Stargrave]

You both are killing me because someone said it here and since then I’ve been of two minds about it like both of you too funny I think I’ve settled on female I’m sure there will be literature that specifies male but eh it’s fun why the hell not.

[Stargrave]

I hear she drinks all the boys under the table. Everyone who hangs with her ends up totally smashed.

[Skritz]

Well, there have been times when writers retconned a genderless bio, especially if it is a non-show characters with little to no fiction, like Sonar. Another Beast Wars example is a show character, however, and that would be Airazor who also had a neutral bio so they took it as a chance to add a chick to the Maximals (as there was no female Maximal in the initial BW line). If Smashdown make no fiction appearances than the charater is utterly up in the air until a decision is reached.

[Nathaniel Prime]

Refraktor's code: REFLECTOR
Shockwave's code: TARN (as in the city he hails from, not the DJD guy)

Has that list been updated?

Is there a thread here on Siebs about this? I've been keeping track over at TFW and I have an up to date list I can share.

Missing any?

Don't think so for Wave 2 and beyond.

Of course we don't

Well this thread is about Siege so here is what I have (mostly copied from others):

Sideswipe - SUNSTREAKER
Cog - FORTRESSMAXIMUS
Hound - MACCADAMS
Skytread - DUOCON
Optimus Prime - IACON
Megatron - KAON
Ultra Magnus - FORGEOFSOLUS
Shockwave - TARN
Greenlight - LANCER
Chromia - SIIEXXXIITSFAT
Ironhide - TRITHYLLIUM
Sixgun - METROPLEX
Prowl - PRAXUS
Starscream - NULLRAY
Soundwave - LAMPPOST
Jetfire - SKYFIRE
Omega Supreme - CRYSTALCITY
Red Alert - RUNG
Refraktor - REFLECTOR
Brunt - TRYPTICON
Springer - TRIPLECHANGER
Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime - CONVOY

Besides, even if you knew the others the site won't accept them yet. I did get lucky and guessed Springer's code.

Thanks, these are really cool! According to the database, there are 8 codes remaining that can be acquired(22/30), the line has at least 8 more figures to be released/teased( we have 42/50), and that the line supposedly ends this December.

That's not quite how it happened. Before Airazor's toy came out, she was originally going to have a male toy bio. But Bob and Larry asked Hasbro if they could change her bio from male to female before its release since Bob and Larry wanted to add a strong female presence to the Maximals in the show and felt that the upcoming Airazor toy would do nicely. Thus, Hasbro complied and were able to change the pronouns in Airazor's bio from male to female since the request came early enough in the toy's development stages for the final bio to the changed before the toy's release.

Your count's slightly off if I'm understanding you correctly, there are 11 figures/figure sets whose codes are currently locked: Thundercracker, Impactor, Mirage, Barricade, Spinister, Crosshairs, Apeface, Astrotrain, Alphastrike Counterforce, Phantomstrike Squadron, and Ratchet. In addition to that, S44-S47 have no codes but do exist, we just don't know who they are....unless they're the 30th Anniversary repaints, but we don't know what's going on with them.

It actually goes up to S51 I believe.

I tried "Punish and Enslave" but it didn't work

Also worthy of noting (in my case anyway), is the lack of any size class smaller than deluxe on the database. No Battle or Micromasters?

The "teletraan1" site doesn't have spots for the BMs and MMs, but here is what's left and my guesses.

WFC-S34 (autobot) 7/19 - guessing Ratchet

Most likely unknown/unannounced BMs and/or MMs as these don't show up on the teletraan1 Cybertron map.

WFC-S44
WFC-S45
WFC-S46
WFC-S47

WFC-S48 (decepticon) 12/19 - guessing Spinister
WFC-S49 (autobot) 12/19 - guessing Crosshairs
WFC-S50 (decepticon) 12/19 - guessing Apeface
WFC-S51 (decepticon) 12/19 - guessing Astrotrain

The 35th anniversary figures are probably a different line, probably Selects.

Remember the teletraan1 won't accept codes for figures until they "unlock" (anything greyed out). Here are the dates of the pending figures according to the site the last time I checked.

WFC-S26 Alphastrike Counterforce (G2 SS & Slamdance) 7/19
WFC-S27 Phantomstrike Squadron (Skywarp) 7/19
WFC-S39 Thundercracker 10/19
WFC-S41 Barricade 10/19
WFC-S42 Impactor 10/19
WFC-S43 Mirage 10/19

Good news is that three should unlock this month.

[Rodimus Prime]

I just got Greenlight, Springer, Caliburst and Jetfire in a matter of 4 days. And I had a gift card for Amazon and I used it on Jetfire, so he cost me $50!

Hopefully there will be at least a blue repaint of Smashdown, but I think this figure would look good in a bunch of different colors.

35th, I've been had.

I agree with everything you've got here about the dates and numbering and all that, a lot of it is what I've been saying for a while, but I'm hesitant to assume Bluestreak and them are Selects. From what we saw they didn't have Selects packaging, they just had differently decorated Siege boxes, and since the Selects packaging usually isn't all that great looking from the outside, I feel like they just wouldn't have shown any packaging if they were Selects figures, like when they displayed G2 Camo Megs.

There's also that rumored Micromaster Multipack or whatever it was called, that could play a factor, but only four Micromasters doesn't really sound like that good of a pack...

[Mindmaster]

Missed my chance on Reflector, but I did manage to snag Brunt. Guess I’ll hang onto my BBTS preorder on three Reflectors for a little longer...

I understand the logic behind assigning these numbers to BM's and MM's because that would round out the line more evenly, and the idea that 35th Anniversary figures *may* have different designations However.... IIRC what was shown at ToyFair were 4 figures for the 35th Anniversary Line -3 voyagers (Prime, Megs, and Soundblaster), and one deluxe Bluestreak -Could these be the 4 missing numbers?

Could be, it's all pure speculation at this point. I also feel that there'd have been announcements of new BMs or MMs along with Astrotrain and crew.

So with the SDCC coming up, you may be on to something there. Now I'm hoping you're right I don't need any more little bots

I'd love to help there, but I'm currently perched at my front door awaiting the Amazon truck. I've already warned the wife and kids that as soon as Amazon gets here, I'll be useless for the rest of the day.

EDIT: Squeeee!!!!! Just got here!
