Optimus has a handle on this load of bull.

Hmm if you could put them on at another angle you could try to recreate his axe from Animated with the rocket boosters.

Hi guys!
I'm a portuguese Transformers G1 fan. I have some toys from childhood but I want to start a new one.
I'm looking forward for this WFC Siege collection, particularly the voyager class.
I have some doubts, and you guys might help.
1- Is the voyager class a good bet? Short and long term?
2- Should I wait for american limited editions (like walmart Optimus and Megatron) or these voyager "rusty painted" transformers are ok too?
3- Are the sizes compatible with deluxe and titan class? (just saw an Ultra Magnus Leader class and look a bit bigger than it should, near to Prime)
Thank you!! G1 for Life

Just preordered mine before I saw your post and effectively, we only have to pay the TPS. No Quebec tax at all. So instead of paying 4.50$ in taxes, it was only 2$.
Too bad about the 10$ of shipping but eh...

Regrettably, all their regular TF are more expensive for reasons. Still a nice... Source... in finding 3P and such.

Transformers Siege Ratchet was revealed officially at SDCC 2019 but only now are we getting the official images that were first shown in the Transformers panel. While he is essentially the same mold as Ironhide, with different sculpted details, the designers went an extra step with Ratchet and showed that he can have a third mode. This third mode is a repair station, to homage his G1 sled. His new weapon becomes a surgical tool and attaches itself onto this repair station where you can place a bot who is in dire need of help. Well either that or he is operating on himself, you choose. The images come from Autobase Aichi.

This figure will be coming to Walgreens in the US in the 2019 holiday season and as for Canada, EB games are currently taking in store preorders. This toy is already out in Hong Kong, exclusively at Toysrus.

Just for fun.

Haven't noticed that Ratchet had a different front end from Ironhide before.

As for med bay mode, I would probably just open up the back panels of van mode (the ones that reveal the additional ports) and plug in the weapons onto the arms.

Lots of other parts on Ratchet are different as well.

Among the things discussed...

* Siege has been so popular that Hasbro added a Wave 5 to the line....

Yes but the Generations lines from past years have been popular as well. I thought the issue was that stores weren't ordering later waves because they thought it was the *same product*, thus the need to label change every 12 months instead of 18...??

Nice, looks like I'll be getting my first new leader figure in two years. ;)^

, and the Cybertron City Project Grows.

So stoked for this release thanks William!!

I finally get my Refraktor from Amazon. Totally stoked, I just need one right, just to get that G1 fix.

I tell my wife all about it and the camera mode and everything. It's when she says stuff like "Sooo, you realize you have to get two more of them now..." that I just want to remarry her all over again. <sigh>

She's such an adorable enabler. :lol:

Looks like Ratchet is self operating on himself

Okay, so the Micromasters are supposed to lay on Ratchet's crotch for repair operations? Geez, Ratchet. This isn't Kiss Players! It's not THAT kind of healing you're supposed to be doing.

I am too. I just got back from my local EB Games where I preordered it. Should come September 1st for me.

I want him, but since he took his sweet time coming, the 3 pack was revealed before I even saw him at retail. So i will be getting that instead.

GREAT, great model! It's really sad this guy will be available in Europe just via the second market at overpriced like 300% of his cost...damn....just hope he go on Amazon ....it's just a shame these in Italy never arrive :BANG_HEAD:

I had not noticed, yes very clever. Ironhide is already one of my favourites of the year and this guy looks even better.

On my end, I still have my raincheck for 22$CAN deluxes. But the 3pack is "only" 71$.... Guess I'll have to preorder this set as well.
