No one said she was coming to amazon

Looking at it more closely, I think that is just literally a picture of Thundercracker. Not only does it have the red details, but you can see TC's black forearms. The robot mode pic is actually Ion Storm though.

In general everything is slightly looser but not detrimentally so. The chest hinge is much tighter and requires intentional force to remove now. My camera doesn’t pick it up but these guys are gaudy as all hell and I can’t help but love it. If you like the seeker mold and neon colors you’ll LOVE this, and even then you can wait until thundercracker or skywarp if these don’t win you over.

You know looking at the rainmakers like that, if you added Starscream and skywarp you'd have the Seeker Sentai

(Edit: Never mind, it was Movie stuff.)

Is it definitely Siege though? He'll have to be a small deluxe to scale properly, so I'm more inclined to believe he could be part of the next line.

No, you're right, "SS" is the "Studio Series" -- I was thinking about "SG" (Siege.)

No worries, mistakes happen! Just repost in the Studio Series thread

I thought it was weird that there was an independent Mixmaster. It's weird there's no Siege Bumblebee yet though.

I'd say it's because of his size class I reckon he'll show up in next year's line or maybe the one after, depends on the approach they take to the minibots, as they'd be a lot to work on.

Oh, and I'm a tad disappointed about the way they handled Apeface's beast mode face, but if it means a good Titan Master and robot mode face, I'm fine with it not being 100% like the G1 toy

I cant tell, but it lools like Apeface's...Ape Face is dome the same way the Wolf head on SixShot was: you putvthe TM into fill it out. Yeah, a proper triplechanger head woulda been cool, but I am okay with it cause we get a good figure as a whole

Why? Just get the TR Titanmanster Apeface, use that as Spasma, and the Titanmaster than comes with Seige Apeface can just stay plugged into the beast-mode head.

Entertainment earth usually puts their exclusives on their website too, but I don't see either of these there. I hope they don't end up being only available at SDCC.

Ape Face's head is very different from any we have ever seen since his robot face is on the titan master's legs.

They arent. But they might not be entertainment earth exclusives either since EE is selling target exclusives at their booth. So these might be target exclusives.

Totally missed that! Good call dude.

Actually I'm not convinced that are compatible with the TR titans and bases.

Yeah, I dont think they are compatible.

Why wouldnt they be? They went out ofvtheir way last Convention to show us that Supreme has the Base Connectors, why would thry go put of their way to give Astrotrain something that definately looka like them and isnt?

The connectors may simply be an artifact of some element of his transformation.

damn, wish I was there!

Looking at the pics, I honestly cannot tell. I mean, we saw them on Omega Supreme for sure, which has me excited. Part of the concept if *true* for Astrotrain makes sense since his launch mode has a *base* of sorts. And yet, part of me doesn't want it, because It will take me another step backwards from completing my all connected Transformers city. I'm only 4 steps away now (and they are pretty big Expensive steps), though admittedly Leader Astrotrain would be the least of my worries.

San Jose CA this morning. Acid storm is bae

Seibertron is currently at the Hasbro breakfast event at SDCC and we have some fun news to report. As rumoured, Hasbro revealed a 3 pack of Transformer Siege Refractor / Reflectors. All three are in their G1 toy colours, helping us differentiate them as individuals. The camera mode is uniformly black from the front and comes with extra accessories like a flash.
Siege Soundblaster and Bluestreak were also there and this is technically their official reveal. Reflector should be available at various online retailers soon, similarly to the earlier Generations Selects toys. Keep watch for more news throughout today.

Let us know what you think!

Did you ask an employee to get it out of the back, or did they just have it out? I was at one of my Targets last night (also in northern CA), and they didn't even have spots for these on the shelf yet

Redeco? Check
Extra Parts? Check
Special Packaging? Check
No ID number? Check

... I do believe the Refraktor 3-pack is the SDCC exclusive. Shame.

Better camera-mode I guess, but I still prefer "them" to look identical (minus the shutter ab, of course.)

I know it's hectic with all of the SDCC reveals coming up but if anyone could provide some insight I would be grateful: I've had Seige Jetfire on preorder from BBTS for a while and was expecting him in stock early this month. Haven't seen anything as of yet. I'm just being impatient but has anyone received their preordered Seige Jetfire through BBTS?

That Reflector is a thing of beauty, I need it, and five other reflectors...

On the side, it looks like the 35th Anniversary releases don't follow the size class rule with their ID's: Bluestreak is S64, but Soundblaster is S63. Optimus Prime and Megatron, if they're still a thing, would probably be S61 and S62.
