We already knew from the beginning he was stealing them

I didn't actually know it was a known thing. I thought it was just speculation. Edited my original post to reflect this.

Still surprising he was able to get Greenlight. Ironhide, I can understand, he's a main retale release. But Greenlight is an exclusive.

To be fair, ironhide at least is due here in US in a couple of weeks (online) so wave 2 of siege could entirely be available near the production/shipping areas since they get them so much earlier (the studio stuff on the other hand is almost certainly stolen since those are so far off)

Greenlight is due at the same time as wave 2.

Cool, I didn't know the release date, I was meaning that comment more in relation to the fact he has a bunch of studio stuff I don't think he should yet

Seibertron featuring the reviews (and thus giving them more hits) probably encourages the thefts further, to some degree

[Dr. Caelus]

If the guy was smart he'd just film the reviews on his lunchbreak and then return the figure when he resumed his shift.

Unless workers in Vietnam don't get lunch breaks. If that's the case I wouldn't feel too bad about him stealing from the factory.

Of course, I could also imagine he's using the All The Queen's Men approach...

TonTon is at it again! This time, Seibertron member Riley Hoffman was the one to alert us to the latest video review upload at TonTon Review on YouTube. The upcoming Transformer this time is the Deluxe Autobot Weaponizer Sixgun, slated for release soon in Wave 2 of the War for Cybertron: SIEGE line. Sixgun is classically a companion to Metroplex from the original G1 series. We get a look at the conversion of Sixgun from Cybertronian flying munitions platform to robot and back. TonTon gives us a few size comparisons in vehicle mode too. The most important part, though, is getting a look at how to disassemble Sixgun into armor and weapons to equip other figures. Almost as a teaser, TonTon shows us one possible configuration on Sixgun's wave mate, also of the second Deluxe Class assortment in SIEGE, Ironhide! Get a load of Sixgun and a taste of Ironhide for yourselves in the video below!

What do you think of this modern version of Sixgun? Will you be picking him up to complete your Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30 Titan Class Metroplex? Will you be picking up more than one to arm your Autobot army to the teeth? Tell us what you think in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

How is this a review? There's no opinion, just a product demo

[Dannshinigami]

I want this even more now. Cant wait to try and combo him with cog

I want to see if there is a way to get him to work with Metroplex

[Dannshinigami]

Yeah forgot about Metroplex combos. He would prob work as turrets etc

[Hellscream9999]

Can't wait for sixgun, he's the only one I'm affording myself from the wave 2 deluxes

[Nemesis Maximo]

Finally got Cog yesterday, and initially I was pretty weirded out. But after playing with him for a bit, I like him him. I don’t love him, but I like him. He’s got a very G1 Comics vibe about him, with his paunch, stumpy frame.

I’m not a fan of how the shoulders are just 5mm pegs; but they’re secure, and given the gimmick I suppose wasn’t any other way to do it. I’m also not a fan of how gappy his upper back is, but I realize that’s also being nitpicky. Normally I’m not too hard on TFs with back gaps, but for some reason this one really stands out to me.

The whole Partsforming thing is kinda ghetto; I wish they’d designed him to transform with needing to be disassembled. I mean I know it’s the whole gimmick and all but partsforming isn’t transforming, and always feels like cheating to me. I hope it feels less out of place when we have Sixgun and Brunt in hand.

Vehicle mode I kinda dig though, it’s charming. The instructions have you put the arm cannons on the “cab” portion, but I prefer to put them on the “trailer” section. I think it helps sell the mobile weapons platform look, but it makes me wish he was a voyager class figure. (I’d post some photos but it’s being a bitch on my phone right now)

Right now it sounds like I’m bashing the little guy, but I do like him. I just want my grievances to be aired and discussed.

P.S. Oh and his guns are super cool, too bad the posts are really loose in the hands on mine.

My local walmart had all of the wave one deluxe class figures. I bought Sideswipe and he is great!

I get where you are coming from. The transformation is typically the most appealing part of the toy for me. But for some reason, I really like Cog. Enough to get 3, well only because I was able to get them from HTS at $9 each. If I was limited to full price, then it would have been only 1.

For me, knowing that the weaponizers are largely going to be partsformers with a few little bits of transformation included, helped me reset my expectations for them. I know the transformation is going to be relatively boring, but the real fun for me is pulling him apart and enhancing other characters. I'll get some fun examples in photos and post them soon.

Weird thing on the hands. While the guns are pretty loose when he's holding them, especially the right hand, the same ports on the bottom of the hands are EXTREMELY tight. I messed around with my 3 Cogs to make an approximate Rack n Ruin, and used the ports on the bottom of the hands, and could barely get them to hold because it was so tight and caused some minor stress marks. It is almost like the 5mm ports in the hands are tapered or something.

We dont know the facts, Hasbro keeps an eye on all our content, if there is something they would rather we not post they will let us know, as they have in the past for certain leaks.

Just to get our facts straight though, these toys have been in production for months now, as evident from the in package images we posted a month ago. If someone was actually stealing from the assemlby line, we wold have gotten these videos months ago instead of right before they are about to hit retail.

This covers my sentiment on Cog's partsforming. Would it have been nice to have an additional joint for the arms to move position without being unplugged for bot to alt mode? yes, but as is pointed out as he disassembles into parts for others to use, I can see why he doesn't have such a joint.

[Ironhidensh]

Megatron is actually a pretty good figure. My only real complaint is the battle damage paint. I don't regret this purchase.

[Nathaniel Prime]

I found Megatron yesterday, he was the only one there, and it was like love at first sight. The colors were perfect, he looked perfect, and I wound up liking the battle damage paint a whole lot more than I did, it really helps what would be a bland figure. I didn't pick him up though, because I forgot my wallet when I found him, next time I go to Target, will definitely get him.

[Wolfman Jake]

Ironhidensh, I think this is the highest praise I've ever seen you give a Transformers figure!

[Dr. Caelus]

Probably goes without saying, but:

WFC:S Megatron's Fusion Cannon + TLK Megatron's Fire Effect = Awesome.

Everything pegs together so tightly, and Megs is so heavy with nice tight joints he can easily support the extra weight on his barrel.

What’s with the partsforming hate? Seriously it’s been around for 35 years. When did being negative about something that’s literally nothing become a dirty word? I don’t understand people who say complain about it. especially when the gimmick of weaponizers in their line is they come apart to become modular weapons and armor.

The entire first year of 1984 except the minibots are partsformers. They all have parts that get removed and added on. It’s been a thing since day one. My favorite of all time will be optimus and Starscream.

I just don’t get it. I don’t understand why people act like parts forming is the worst or say it’s a deal breaker when some of the most beloved toys fall into that category especially when it comes to these figures. That’s their design. Theyre legitimately intended to come apart and rearrange

If this was in reply to my comments, then you completely missed my points, no hate for partsforming here. For me though, the transformation is the number one thing I look for in a normal transformers toy (gimmicks aside). I just prefer a great transformation over parts forming where applicable. The weaponizers however are really a different beast where partsforming is the basic idea and I think Cog was done really well (hence buying 3). I do like that they included some minor transformation steps for the legs and the torso, because without that, you basically have LEGOs (which I also like).

[william-james88]

Just curious, are partsformers a different category than armour pieces? Like POTP Rodimus Prime, is that a Parts Former? Feels like one to me, but then Magnus does not since he is a bot with armour.

Oh wait i think I just answered my own question

[Dr. Caelus]

I used to be bothered by partsforming, but then TF:AoE introduced the Lego Decepticons, and now I just think, 'Well, it could be worse.'
