I wouldn't say that Omega Supreme "dwarfs" Devastator. He's just about a head taller, really. The height measurement of 24 inches that Hasbro is advertising is obviously referring to the wings on the back, which add a few inches in height. In terms of cartoon scale, again, looking at the height of the heads, this is actually pretty spot on.

Have you seen the bulk to Omega? It's not just the height difference, which is about 6" to the top of his rails, but also how much more bulky he is.

And dang, Galaxy Prime out already. He's like 3 or 4 months early

I found Soundwave and Starscream in a Walmart near my realm. But not "Galaxy" Optimus. Given all the other OP's I've had to review so far, I'd just as soon take a break from him for a while.

And yeah - I don't classify Omega Supreme's wing-dings as being part of his 'height'. Otherwise, I could make TR Trypticon even taller than Omega by taking the tower/backpack section, extending the guns from them, and turning them so they point up.

If I find him in store I'll buy him and not wait for the July 1st pre order. Unless you think Pulse and Amazon will have Prime in earlier.

I got Sixshot today. Haven’t messed with the weaponizer gimmick yet, but he makes an awesome Goblin Glider.

I think you mean Sixgun. Sorry for correcting you

When you have a chance to utilize his weaponizer gimmick, post some pics, I'd love to see those

Ha! Yes, Sixgun. The real question is, was that a mistake on my part or did my phone autocorrect to Sixshot. I mean, it’s not like I haven’t texted that name a million times.

Now he and Ironhide can fight Starscream on equal footing:

Sixgun weaponizing? In that case here, have this again:
I greatly prefer using his torso bits as a Doomfist as opposed to guns and/or armor so far, I feel they work so much better that way.

Finally got my first batch of SIEGE figures. Haven't had the time to really play with them yet. But I have a question about Cog, does he seriously not have individual thigh moment?

What do you mean , Cyb? Thigh swivel? He's got that.
That point of articulation aslo serves as the peg and port to attach and detach his legs for weaponizing.

Ninja'd as I got up to go check. But yup, he pretty much has just as much articulation as the rest of the Siege line.

That doesn't sound like what he's talking about, it sounds like when he moves one leg forward both move at once, but I could be wrong

Well, I'm at work and no longer in the Collect-O-Tron. I can't remember off the top of the noodle. Are Cog's hips fused? I still think they move independently.

Maybe? I checked mine and erryting moves independently. I wonder if the torso can be cracked open to take a look?

Ultra Magnus's hips/legs want to move together when you only move one (forward/backwards), but they are not fused. Feels like the connections are just squeezed together really tight. If that is the case with Cog might just require a little brute force to break the grip.

IIRC, when I first opened my Cog, his thighs were stuck moving only in conjunction with each other at first. I had to kind of wiggle them in opposing directions to get them to move freely and independently.

Sabr's right. I just didn't want to force it before checking with you guys. Thanks everyone!

I had time over the weekend to open up Siege Starscream and Soundwave. I love 'em both! I can't wait to get Thundercracker and Skywarp later. Starscream in robot mode looks fantastic standing next to Siege Megatron, Shockwave, and Soundwave. The tetra jet mode looks fine to me. The arms and legs tuck up underneath in person a little better than pictures have suggested. In particular, the wings come down almost flush with the bottom of the shins. Soundwave is great too, obviously. Robot mode is his best mode, far and away. The space barge is fine, but the lamppost is more just a cute nod to fans. It's barely transformed compared to the robot mode. My season 1 Decepticon shelf really starting to take shape now. I've got the Unite Warriors Constructicons lined up behind Megatron and his "generals." With the slight downsizing of Voyager size lately, the Constructicons all look nice and beefy compared to Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave, cementing them as the "enforcers" or "brutes" of the Decepticon army.

Hey Wolfman, pieces dont fall off of your Starcream?

new WFC figures coming (well confirmation of the ones we saw)

Soundblaster
Bluestreak
Nicer megs and Optimus

I'm curious about the 10 Pack. I hope its not a reissue bundle of thr first 2 waves or something.

Also, isnt that the first offical confirmation for WFC Ratchet? We've known about the Database listing, but this is the first actual word about it?

Oh boy I do love chaos with 5mm pegs. I think I'm going to have to get an extra Cog now that I know I can make combiner limbs 5mm compatible.

That gives me an idea...

Behold, ACOGINUS!

The chest piece will fall off. It doesn't have a pin to secure it to that hinge, unfortunately. However, knowing of the issue ahead of time, I was able to transform it back and forth with it only falling off completely once and partially another time. It's about the only objective flaw of the figure for me, honestly. There are, of course, some deco difference I would have preferred, such as leaving the nosecone gray (not blue), painting Starscream's face a darker shade of silver, putting a little bit more of the red striping on the underside of the wings, etc.

My hope is that the 10-pack will include missing members for the Micro Master team 2-packs released already. In other words, this might be how we get the likes of Free Wheeler, Tailspin, Sidetrack, Sunrunner, Nightflight, Tailwind, Fixit, Seawatch, Detour, Road Hugger, Mudslinger, Tote, Buzzsaw, Rumble, or Frenzy.

Since the 10 pack is listed as a "Mega Value" I suspect it's just five 2 packs bundled together. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
