I don't know about Roller, because he'd be even harder to give a robot mode to than Brunt (and the partsforming into weapons/armor/playset bits) while keeping him recognizable as the little 6-wheeled buggy drone. But Powerdrive would work just fine. Already has a robot mode, and a partsforming transformation too.

Roller I think would be a good accessory for a potential Commander-class Special Edition of ER Optimus. They could make him seat Titan Masters the way the original could seat Diaclone pilots.

Agreed with this, with an IDW Roller robot mode. that would be sweet

Went to local TRU. Found around 12+ Starscreams. Goddamn it.

OK all, Jetfire is on amazon for $55, is he worth getting?

Yes. I felt satisfied at full price, that is a deal.

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:OK all, Jetfire is on amazon for $55, is he worth getting?

At that price yep, paid about £45. The figure has a few neat tricks and nice weapon effects. The only things I'm not keen on is the elbow joints and the shade of red on him. Worth removing his optional cockpit block to make the blue canopy stand out.


Not sure a deluxe weaponiser sized roller would work for prime as it might not fit in his trailer unless they made vehicle mode thinner, something like one of the transporter things in the spacer bond films.

I'd say so. I have him and I find him a joy to play with, and he looks good on display. I have him on my dresser next to TR Fortress Maximus (who he comes up to the kneecap of). And his jet mode is super cool.

You know what would be cool? Taking a model satellite and giving it a 5mm peg so that you can have Skyfire carry and deploy it.

Sounds like one of my local Targets. The shelves were overflowing with Starscreams and Megatrons, slightly broken up by a couple Springers and Thundercrackers.

Yeah, I really think Powerdrive would work better than Roller.

Yes. Without hesitation. Do it

Absolutely! Why haven't you yet?!?

I just did

I didn't get him previously because I really like my T30 Jetfire, and really don't need another Jetfire cause I love that one so much. But I think that after seeing so much good about him and seeing him on sale right now, he's worth it

It's a cool figure, I was impressed when I first got him. Lots of fun play options.

I do feel like he's too big (an awesome kind of big) for a generations display, so mine is keeping the MP scaled bots company.

Mine was with the other ecto busters but he's joined mps as his size wouldn't be as stand out next to the combiners which are the only other space he would be able to go.

If you're looking to have Roller fit inside Prime's trailer then I am inclined to agree that a deluxe (while not impossible) is going to be a tough job.
Personally, if they're going to give a Roller, I'd rather they utilise that gaping hole between the trailers wheels as a storage area. It's an ideal spot to conceal Roller (or maybe just parts of him) and would help fill out that section of the trailer.

Honestly, the only way I can see a Deluxe Roller working is if the buggy was the torso and the arms and legs became a mini-trailer for the buggy.

Over in the UK, fellow Seibertronian CyclonusG1 uncovered some odd listings at Smyths, the big toy retailer on the other side of the pond.

Firstly, they found a series of Siege reissues all said to be exclusives.Those include Chromia, Hound, Mirage, Sideswipe and Refraktor. These will be Walmart exclusives in America and they are new battle damage decos of the toys we got in Siege. Mirage has a decepticon deco and Refraktor, now known as Scrapface has a "Smokescreen" style autobot deco. There was also a listing for an "unboxing" exclusive in the War for Cybertron line and that is a box with Ultra Magnus inside and a spoiler warning regarding the Netflix TV show.

There are also listings for Battlefield Megatron and Hotlink which are the siege molds packed with two battle masters. Megatron comes with a poperly coloured Lionizer. Hotlink is indeed that purple seeker.

The images of the toys come from fellow Seibertronian JTPrime17, who also provided UPCs.



Figures include
Ultra Magnus "Spoiler pack" EAN: 5010993695713
Decepticon Mirage EAN: 5010993695607
Hound EAN: 5010993695652
Sideswipe EAN: 5010993695638
Chromia EAN: 5010993695669
Scrapface (Refraktor repaint) EAN: 5010993695621
Megatron 3 pack EAN: 5010993695614
Hotlink 3 pack EAN: 5010993695645

Oooooh! More specifically, Hotlink is the purple Seeker from the same "welcoming committee" as Sunstorm. He's the one who tries to obstruct Wheeljack and Bumblebee's progress by creating a ring of fire with his flamethrower.

So they made Hotlink... and the Rainmakers... and RED WING (!??!?!)...


...but not Sunstorm?!

Some day, my dear creamsicle seekerman... some day.

He'll probably be one of the next Battlefield figures revealed, alongside Bitstream.

Hotlink probably got ahead of Sunstorm and Bitstream in line because his being purple makes him more distinct from the other Seekers released thus far.

I found Images...

Fixed that for ya.

So, the Siege reissues are actually redecos with even "grittier" battle damage, while Battlefield Megatron and Hotlink also come with extra Battlemasters.

Though, Mirage is now a Decepticon, and Megatron is also shiny.

And Refraktor is actually a new character named Scrapface.

That battle damage looks really nice, the battle damage on Siege figures suffered from just not being enough as to not draw away the average fan.

The only highlights here are Hotlink, the Decepticon redeco of Mirage, and the orange Lionizer that comes with Megatron.

Sideswipe, Hound, and Chromia should be axed, because Hasbro could achieve basically the same result by just sending retailers stickers to amend the figures still on shelves.
They should be doing Detritus instead of Hound, Tigertrack, Clamp Down, or Deep Cover instead of Sideswipe, and a reissue of Greenlight instead of Chromia.

Megatron is less interesting than the color-corrected Lionizer he comes with. Although if he's shiny now that might be something.

Scrapface looks nice, but he should be held back in favor of a straight reissue of Refraktor.

Why would they make figures of characters not on the Netflix show?

There is a reason that these characters are being made and why Scrapface and Decepticon Mirage is a thing.
