I thought statements about "toys" looking like and mimicking "vehicles" would be left at the door when entering someone's comment.

He's here!

Congrats. Waiting on mine. BBTS is soooooo slow on pre-orders

Well that's not a very realistic view point

Still no word on how Bluestreak and Soundblaster (who I'm not getting) will be released.


In other news, I found a fresh case of wave 3 deluxes. Bought the 2 Refraktors and a Red Alert. The others were Hound and Brunt. With Brunt, I think I'm going to break my Weaponizer rule and get him, but I couldn't do more than the 60 at the time, and I wasn't leaving a Refraktor for him, so...

Where did you find them? Walmart? Target?

Mirage still looks great, and he has a cool transformation.

Autoseekers? How about Seekars? Or more obviously, Seecars?

Eh, I like Praxians

Meh, it's Sideswipe's body type that's more comparable to the Seekers in terms of redeco character overdose. The Datsuns are starting to catch up, admittedly
Datsun: Prowl, Bluestreak, Smokescreen, and now Barricade
Lambo: Sideswipe, Red Alert, Tigertrack, Deep Cover, Clampdown

these toys havent even been officially revealed yet, I dont think we should start the timer before then.

Ha. I totally forgot that part. It was Walmart. The stock lady was all "can I help you?" as I cut the box open with my keys.

S64?! Why does Siege keep getting longerrrrrrrr? I'm not complaining, but now we not only have the mystery of S44-47, but also S52-63....the other three 35th figures are probably in there somewhere, so more like S52-60...I'm starting to be at a loss for what the missing stuff will be.

At least Bluestreak still looks great.

Well it looks like we'll be able to get Sounblaster at Walmart at least.

How did I find his UPC?

I'm speculating that Bluestreak and company (52-63...) will be part of WFC part 2.

As far as 44-47, who knows? There's precedent for mystery BMs and MMs that haven't been announced, but who knows?

While we're on the subject and I have my list out. I've read that Thundercracker's code is SEEKERS and the *Alpha Counter Strike Force is INTEL. Grain of salt with those though, so far it can't be verified.

I'm going to make a wild guess and say the only plausible new mold would be a Voyager Snapdragon. The rest is likely to be retool akin to what Crosshairs is.

His number is WFC-S64. Since we know part two is called Armageddon shouldn't it be WFC-A63? Also it straight up says siege on the front of the box.

I've also read people say the INTEL code, so I'm inclined to agree that's right.

I'm pretty certain that all these numbers do have to be part of Siege though, for two main reasons:
1. Bluestreak's box specifies 2019 in the 35th Anniversary logo, and we know that Siege carries through to the end of this year with Astrotrain and co.
2. I'm pretty sure the front of the box saying SIEGE and the numbering being WFC-S64 cements it as Siege product. The numbering for Lancer and them have GS01-06, GS being Generations Selects, and if the rumor of the next trilogy segment being called Armageddon is true, then numbering for that should start at WFC-A01.

EDIT: Ninja'd by steals_your_goats, he even made off with my goats when he did so.

Finally got Brunt today (I guess they finally ran out of Refraktor's to ship instead of him completely). He looks great but there are some things that bug me:
1. He's a bit small for how he looks like. I mean he looks like a big beefy brute. And with the head to body size ratio he should be BIG. When I saw the first pictures of him I thought he'd be about the size of SIEGE Ironhide.
2. He's pretty flimsy in alt mode. The joints and 5 mm connections hold well but there are just not enough connection points. Everything is moving. Especially his hip is still rotating everytime you touch him.

And here the hidden stuff:

And here some other UV-light images. NO, there are no filters (maybe some regular camera app AI) but the real thing in-hand still looks a bit different.



I think the last picture is closest to what he looks in-hand. In-hand he completely glows under UV-light (or at least everything that's purple what is almost the whole figure). His visor and yellow details, too.

Btw I do think there is a good chance that Siege molds which haven't been redecoed will either be later in Siege, in the next part or part of SELECTS.

They look like some nice action figures. I just want to know what happened to the battle damage paint jobs?.

Well that's not a very realistic view point

Your original comment wasnt either,but I could tell you were searching for attention, so I gave it to you

Maybe the 35th anniversary subline deliberately lack those?

I certainly hope so. I've grown to accept it and even like it in some cases, but I won't miss it.

Speaking of, when I've skimmed reviews of Jetfire I couldn't tell if he has any or not. Has anyone confirmed or is it very minimal like Brunt?

As far as I know Optimus and Megatron will have a cellshaded colorscheme to look like coming directly out of the G1 cartoon. But no idea what about Soundblaster.

carytheone wrote:I certainly hope so. I've grown to accept it and even like it in some cases, but I won't miss it.

I like the concept but not the execution. I can do a way better job myself. But removing them if it's just too much like on Ironhide's feet isn't that easy.

He has some light grey ones on his feet (and maybe shins) and some other parts (the jet's nosecone, I think). But they hardly stand out against the white plastic.

Those darn recolors/-tools you never foresee. I finally decided this week to get Mirage and preordered him. The CG images looked pretty bad but the promotional in-hand pictures with the translucent plastic (I'm a sucker for that ) look pretty good. But as I've seen the digibash below earlier I'm thinking about cancelling my preorder. The thing is you never know when and if a retool/-color gets announced (or leaks ) and if it will be more your cup of tea. And if not how much you will have to pay for the former version of the mold at the aftermarket.

What's his name again?
