My big question is, who's going to wield Rung

Probably Red Alert since his Siege website code was Rung and I think the two knew each other in IDW but it's been forever since I've read it.

My big question is, who's going to wield Rung

The way i see it, there are really only 3 Choices:

1) Optimus Prime AKA Jesus wielding God

2) Rodimus Prime for MTMTE references and Jesus (jr.) wielding God

3) Swerve cause MTMTE alt mode shenanigans

I know mine is going to be held by my generations Swerve.

My big question is, who's going to wield Rung

I'm gonna see if my Cybertron Primus has any good 5mm holes to plug Rung into.

As I recall, he literally doesn't have any 5mm holes.

Not even screw holes?

If so, then I'll just manipulate the articulated figures to wrap around the 5mm peg grip of Rung's gun mode.

Could someone do a quick rundown for me of which battlemaster goes with the target masters we got so far in the Gen line?

You mean for Siege, or the whole umbrella line?

Just the Siege Battle Masters? Alrighty.

• WFC-S1 Firedrive (renamed Firebolt), Targetmaster partner of Hot Rod
• WFC-S2 Lionizer, Action Master partner of Rad (no official modern day toy, but Cybertron Smokescreen is a decent stand-in)
• WFC-S3 Blowpipe, Targetmaster partner of Triggerhappy
• WFC-S16 Pteraxadon, new character with no known preexisting partnership
• WFC-S17 Aimless, Targetmaster partner of Misfire
• WFC-S30 Caliburst, Targetmaster partner of Sligslinger
  WFC-S31 Smashdown, new character with no known preexisting partnership, but is said to be affiliated with the Wreckers
• Rung, was his own person and not partnered with any one person in particular in the IDW1 comics
• Singe, one of two Targetmaster partners of Spinister
• Dazzlestrike, new character who comes packed with Greenlight
• Trenchfoot, appears to be a new character and comes packed with Covert Clone Sideswipe and Slamdance
• Fracas, Targetmaster partner of Scourge but comes packed with Skywarp
• Shrute (renamed Hairsplitter), the other Targetmaster partner of Spinister, but comes packed with Skywarp
• Terror-Daxtyl, new character who comes packed with Skywarp

I haven't really been paying attention to who goes with who, but it's nice to know Spinister gets both of his partners.

My head canon is that Dazzlestrike is a new take on Blackcat. I mean, an Autobot cat with green accents, why not?

Seems like Pteraxadon is set up to be Prowl's if these mean anything.





While the Dino in the comic probably isn't them they seem to be inspired by Pteraxadon visually.

I like the idea of Prowl having his own Laserbeak but isn't exactly the same in alt form as them.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Really? Singe is a straight redeco of Firedrive with Misfire's Effect Parts?

What did you expect? With the exception of Rung, every gun Battlemaster since Firedrive and Blowpipe has been decidedly phoned-in.

Some of the holes on the insides of his lower legs might be 5mm; don't own him myself so I can't check.
Rung's backpack might potentially have a 5mm port like Blowpipe's gun piece does; if so you'd probably be able to stick him onto one of Primus' Mini-Con ports. But that's an if.

[blackeyedprime]

Not sure what is with peoples obsessions of wanting to stick things in planets holes but...

in robot mode, one on each arm should work if the peg is as long as the target master Ive used tho its a bit loose/not a snug fit and still holds it in place with out worrying about a snapped peg.


If Spinister ever gets his guns in the right color/sculpt Scourges sweeps can have the Siege ones.

No visible screw holes in alt mode which is pretty darn good for a toy of its age and shows some of the modern figures up (the stands have some slight visible screws but its really not that bad. I just realised mine is missing his butt flap as I've removed it to display him better in robot mode and also his cyber key thing would have been usefull to have to transform him.

[RiddlerJ]

Instead of Cratermaker, they should've just made the Flak redeco Dropshot.

Funny you should mention him, because Siege Flak's alternate head is that of Dropshot's gang-molded partner Bombshock:

New arms and legs for Firedrive for starters. They did that with Aimless.

My expectations for most of the "humanoid" Battle Masters is already pretty low, honestly. They couldn't even get the colors of Firebolt, Blowpipe, Aimless, and Caliburst right, let alone individual molded detail or even the correct number of gun barrels. The fact that "Shrute" and Singe actually are pretty much the right colors is pretty fantastic.

I just wish they had knees.

They would be 1000% better if they had knee's, it works for the micromasters

[Skritz]

Singe is just a pair of new arms away to look pretty spot on to his G1 self. Not that it was the most detailed Targetmaster.

So, does anyone know yet if the Rainmakers 3 pack are only going to select target stores, or if they will be available online as well? I live near Harrisburg PA, and of the 4-5 closest target stores near me, the site is saying "not sold at this store", and the closest stores that have even had them are over 50 miles or more away. Getting a bit impatient.

It just started showing up in a few stores only two weeks ago, way too early to be impatient. It should be a wide release just like any other Target exclusive, give it a few more weeks before you panic. You're lucky you have options, I only have one local Target, there's only four or five Targets in my entire state.

That hurt... That TRU gave me an excuse to visit that third Target in my area
