He is an amazing figure, and the most posable transformer in my collection. He will display excellently with my Siege Megatron :DANCE:

Can you post a pic of the reciept and tag? This would be news.



No kidding huge news! :shock:


So I've been digging Galaxy OP and I've decided to pick up another one so I can enjoy Prime with upgrade armour and without. Next to voyager Prime it really is a cool figure...'nuff said! :VEHI:


That's cool to hear, I really think Galaxy OP is a great figure, as great as Magnus.

I will gladly find the receipt for you guys, but right now I can't find it. I'm one of those weirdos who keeps receipts, and I remember putting it on my table next to me, but this morning, it's nowhere to be found. I really hope I didn't misplace it, but hopefully I will find it :oops:

I encourage others to check their Walmarts to see if others have this, and it's not a mistake at my local ones.

My local Wal-Mart has Optimus and Megatron at the regular retail price, I think that's $29.84. I checked using a customer price scanner. It's not news.

Then perhaps it's a mistake or glitch at my Walmart? I would have gotten the rest of the Voyagers there if there were the same, but the "clearance" price only applied to the lone Siege Prime there, so I can't really explain it. I'm still looking for that receipt though, so when I find it, I will post ;)

..And what do you think if they decide to put in this line the clones? We can't get from PoTP both clones from both Decepticons and Autobot if you don't buy an exclusive pack ( we never arrive in Italy BTW :-( )...but maybe in this line, we can get them in a 2 pack with more details and more better shape into a Deluxe class? What do you think?

...so I read the latest article put up about the card game again out of curiosity, and I think I see another potential first look at a figure. Last time I did this, I got shot down pretty quickly, but I think this might be accurate, given who it is:
Siege Ratchet maybe.JPG

-We know Ratchet is coming already
-That does appear to be the Ironhide mold
-Has the cartoon-accurate white helmet and black crest I recall most people on this thread expecting
-Most importantly, this card is a DIFFERENT design for Ratchet than the one on his individual card, as his individual card looked to be based off the old Universe mold

So if I'm right this time, then Ratchet absolutely has a molded-on lightbar like I was hoping, a cartoon-accurate head, and possibly those accessories? I'm taking the accessories with a grain of salt for now. I know Ratchet appeared in his Siege design in the new IDW run already, does anyone who's seen it want to confirm or deny this?

I have no interest in or attachment to Tracks at all, but a retail Generations Road Rage would be awesome. Plus, if they make any more figures based off Guido Guidi's G1 art, there is another option for the Tracks mold:

Also, I don't buy Masterpieces so I don't recall for certain, but isn't there an evil black Tracks named Loudpedal or something?


I bet that's where the Prime Vehicon design came from... I'd have bought a "road rage" of that mold x5 lol

Yes they did. And they were not exclusive.

Personally, I'd only buy 4, specifically a Loudpedal and 3 Vehicons. Mostly because as much as I'd love to army build, it's hard to justify the price and space taken up so I'd have Road Rage with his 2 "thugs" and then the third vehicon I would customize into Knockout based off of some fan art I saw of a triple changing version of him

Guidi got the inspiration for that 'purple Tracks' Vehicon art from the Prime Vehicons.

Like how he got the inspiration for his 'dark Prowl' Barricade art from Movieverse Barricade.

Then buy from an online store that ships to Italy.

That's a relief! I wonder why Red Alert's light bar looked almost black in the product and in-package photos a month or two ago? Also, something I didn't realize before, is that Red Alert's light bar is clearly a different mold, not just a re-use of Prowl's light bar. Another observation: Springer's legs look even bluer now. I'm sure that'll turn more people off, but I like how it looks with the different shades of green, honestly. It's not that far off model, kind of like that Hasbro Anniversary Edition of Unicron with the gray parts as bluish gray instead.

I don't see the hate for Siege Springer's colors, because I love them. The figure also proves that we can get an awesome triple changing G1 Springer without resorting to some 3P Masterpiece figure >:oP

I am glad about Red Alert's light bar, but I'm still disappointed in the lack of color separation, and the black piece in vehicle mode is just an eyesore :/

So only 50% related to Siege but I finally decided to transform my Titans Return Scourge and found out that, of all the targetmaster characters he seem to be among those who got a 5mm port in juuuust the right place to add the G1 accurate targetmaster without any friction or requiring modding. Of course, talking the Hasbro version of course.

Hopefully his partner make an appearance in the trilogy otherwise someone is getting dipped in black paint...

Already?! :shock: I just want 2 or 3 (Sideswipe's a maybe with that G2) from Waves 1 and 2, so catching up should be easy. Just save me 3 Refraktors, you army buiders! :evil:

I'm pre-ordering Refraktor from an online retailer. I'd rather pay the $6 markup than get stressed out trying to find a set on shelves. For some reason they're not on Hasbro Pulse even though Red Alert is.

A midwest Meijer gets it first? Not unheard of. T'was also true of the Hot Rod vs. Cyclonus Battle in Space set, and I'll always think of Leadfoot, Sledge, and Icepick as the Meijer's exclusive PCC wave, since they showed up there so long before anywhere else en masse.

We can probably look forward to Red Alert warming pegs at least until fall.

The G2 Sideswipe set comes with a black redeco of Blowpipe. It's not a perfect fit, but I plan to partner him with Scourge. I have the TR movie characters but not the Decepticon Targetmaster Deluxes, so I'm going to be repurposing all of the Battle Masters as movie bot Targetmaster partners.

I'm still really on the fence with Galaxy OP.... on one hand, I saw him in person and almost pulled the trigger... but.... I really like the voyager Prime, and I like that lil'Magnus and voyager prime have distinctly different silhouettes, i feel like that's lost a bit with Galaxy lil'Prime.

Entertainment Earth I should have them listed @ retail price, bundle enough of them, and do the order over the phone, and they'll do free shipping.

https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... or/hse4497

if you throw in Red Alert, that'd get it above the $79.99 threshold, you just have to call them to "bundle" the order for free shipping.
