I think this is my new favorite saying.

I finally have time to open Ultra Mags and Shockie. There will be much TFing going on here tonight.

Well not quite, his diaper gets in the way. Going for one of those crazed Power Ranger poses.

I took a few pictures of Transformers Siege Optimus Prime and Megatron this evening. I'll add them to my reviews a few pages back as well. Enjoy!

Rodimus Prime wrote:Thanks, Wolfman. Prime is a buy for me, for the robot mode. I don't care for the truck mode much, but it's still a good figure from what I have seen.

ZeroWolf wrote:Thanks for the review Wolfman! I've warmed up to prime a lot since the intial reveal and aim to get him and megs next time I see him.

You're both quite welcome! I'll be doing my review of Transformers Siege Leader Shockwave next.

Emerje

I think I mentioned that when it first came out that we were getting Omega Supreme in the same line as a Micromaster revival. When they announced he'd come with Countdown I took it as all but confirmed.

Part of the reason it occurred to me is the obvious recolor:

Just seems too convenient how it's essentially the same color palette as the G1 Rocket Base.

In hand images of the wave 2 Micromasters have been psoted on the Facebook page TFND. These include probably the most sought after Micromasters so far, Laserbeak and Ravage, who are made to interact with Soundwave, by fitting in his chest (though it seems to be one casette at a time). The other pair of Micromasters are Red Heat & Stakeout. Here are the full names of these two releases:

WFC-S18 Laserbeak & Ravage (Soundwave Spy Patrol)
WFC-S19 Red Heat & Stakeout (Rescue Patrol)

These will be evenly packed, as is all of Wave 2's output. The official release date is April 1st. Here are the images below, enjoy!

I made assumptions. Didn't read. Then I clicked links. Well good then.

I was originally going to ask if any of the classic teams will get their remaining members released, (since we are only getting 2 of 4)...but then I recalled we pretty much know what most of this Siege lines releases are, and with so many micro master teams to choose from, I seriously doubt it...kind of answered my own question there... :lol:

Unless of course micromasters continue on into the 2020 line...

Ravage is absolutely adorable and anyone who says different is truly dead inside [-(

but seriously, while not perfect I still think he looks really good. I just wish his head was a bit bigger.

Yes, plz!

And could you take a couple of shots of Megatron and Shockwave without his extra stuff side by side? They should be the same size, right?

I finally found Prime and Megatron in the wild yesterday, got them both, have yet to open them. Still haven't seen the leaders.

You are not gonna like the answer. Shockwave is smaller than megatron and only becomes as tall when you add the armour bits.

That's odd the last five pictures in the article aren't showing up for me, I'm guessing it's showing the combined weapon mode of the rescue patrol?

Awesome shot, Cobotron

News Credits: 6 · by **AllNewSuperRobot** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 1:34 pm

It's been discussed before but, as I've always felt Transformers work better released as pairs/rivals, perhaps they might actually give one to Omega Supreme. He has had an animosity to Devastator in the past, but I don't see any Gestalts as part of the SIEGE line just yet. Since he is a Land "base" for the Autobots on Cybertron, how about a Water "base" for the Decepticons?

How about a new Tidal Wave?

They said before that if they were to make a Titan class Omega Supreme (which they now are), it would be scaled to the size of CW's Titan class Devastator.

I agree, and I once pondered if in 2017 they would re-release generations Metroplex as a rival to Trypticon. It appears that Hasbro is content (or limited) to produce one Titan Class per year.

Metroplex had to wait 3 years for his rival to be produced, with Devastator, now 5 years later, his rival will get an awesome update this year. If all goes according to hopes/anticipations, 2016's Fort Max will have his rival in 2020.

Unfortunately Tidal Wave is one of those oddities... He appears gigantic in early teases in some Armada episodes, even in the PS2 game he is gigantic. however, despite his size, somehow he ends up being little more than Armor for Armada Megatron... :???:

Why not make a Titan Class Tidal Wave in this line to compliment Omega Supreme, Instead of presuming people have a combiner team from a previous line? I'd assume CW Devastator would be less profitable for them as opposed to a new release, especially a figure that hasn't really had any attention since The Unicron Trilogy.

News Credits: 55 · by **o.supreme** » Fri Jan 11, 2019 1:47 pm

The line is only 12 months long, and has mostly been revealed, and the toys , especially Titans take at least 2 years to develop, if not more, I seriously doubt we will ever see 2 titans in the same line (12 months span), let alone Siege.

War for Cybertron is a Trilogy though, so I am hopeful Part Two or Three might have some surprises.

Because the audiences that they're aiming these Titan class figures at in the first place are those who have the disposal income to purchase these Titan class figures on a yearly basis, expecting that said consumers would have already gotten Devastator back when he was available, in anticipation of the forthcoming Titan class Omega Supreme to complement Devastator years later.

Just like how they presumed that the people they were aiming their Titan class Trypticon at had already gotten Titan class Metroplex back when that figure was available.
