I get that, but he doesn't turn into a giant train.

...Except for the one time that he did in TFTM (a source many seem to point to more often than the cartoon), when all the other Decepticons loaded up into his train mode before he transformed and took off in shuttle mode.

Funny how they use that scene and always conveniently forget about how devs was in there all combined

Crosshairs looks good with Trenchfoot. That was the pairing I was planning to do and it looks great!

This is the whole point. All Transformations are cosmetic. "Robots in Disguise" and all that. Astrotrain based on his direct interactions with other Cybertronians IE The Movie, Should be a big bot. His Bot Mode features his Shuttle Mode kibble, so any kind of comparison to his train mode is redundant anyway. In Shuttle Mode, a Gestalt could stand without hitting a "ceiling" and nearly the entire Decepticon Army of 2005 was onboard.

That's some terrible layering, lol! Kup is standing on poor Snarl's hind foot, and Blurr is standing on Broadside's foott, which much be like a clown shoe to reach all the way under and to the other side of Snarl. Oh, AKOM, you're so silly!

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Indeed. I've said it before but, I think if Mystery Studio that animated Call of The Primitives, had been the default for Season 3 (& 4), it would probably have been better received... and hold up better in retrospect.

[blackeyedprime]

was kind of expecting the cereal box eco friendly hidden figure (soon to be an Ang Lee film) approach for Earthrise.

[Nemesis Primal]

Glad the character art on the side is staying, I'd love for that to just always be a thing now. That art on the Starscream box is of the Siege figure though, not the figure actually in that packaging, which is just another reason for me to be annoyed about him.

Also shouldn't this news post have been on the Earthrise thread, not this one?

[Survivefan23]

I saw it on my Facebook new feed & I saw TFW2005 showed them & not Ya'll & I thought of Ya'll, so I posted it here. I know people are fresh off of NYCC of this news. Glad I could help.

Fun with fireblasts:


Apologies for the image if it appears rotated but the Jetfire blast effects work great with Mirage’s rocket and it looks pretty good on Hound’s rocket launcher too.

[Stargrave]

As indicated above I scored Mirage but also Impactor and Impactor makes me very much the glad he may have hollow legs like he’s from the Prime Wars but maaaan he’s huge

He looks amazing with Springer please Primus give me a Siege styled Kup before this trilogy is over. It’s like he stepped right off the page of the UK comics. He’s still got that matching Centurion-esque helmet fin that gels so we’ll with Springer it’s perfect.

I’d love the IDW head but can’t afford the whole set - just the same I’m hella happy with this Autobot version football helmet wearing harpoon handed purple people eating walking tank.

Siege Micromaster Offroad Patrol and Barricade are in stock on Hasbro Pulse for anyone interested.

While this makes sense, let’s be honest, we’re all reading both threads anyway. And truly, while it would be crazy busy, one War for Cybertron thread would probably do the trick - and save some page flipping.

To be honest, 'twas an oops on my part.

It's in the right thread now, though!

So, I found a Barricade in the wild in a veritable sea of Mirages and an Impactor. Didnt give Impactor a second thought to grab Barrocade, but now kinda wishing I did even though I know I hate that Tank. Decided 'Cade needed his little buddy so when I got home I decided to switch torsos on Aimless and Blowpipe to create an all-grey Battle Master Frenzy.

Also, you can totally use the half-handles to mount the guns flush with the car hood instead of sticking up 10 feet.

I like what you did to make Barricade have a Frenzy. It looks really good Though, now I want to pick up Barricade and the battlemasters needed just to have that awesome homage for the shelf... Sometimes I hate being part of a community that's so creative at finding fun ways to display figures

Sorry. The music in the video was annoying and could not watch finish watching it.

Messing around with Hound and Cromar is fun!
Plus a doggy. Because Hound is an animal lover.

Anyone think the Siege tetrajet molds will be used again anytime soon - without battle damage (maybe third chapter of the trilogy *fingers crossed*)? I’d be inclined to pick up more.

The Coneheads are a likely candidate. Maybe another special 3 pack?

Wouldn't the Coneheads more likely be made from the Earthrise Seeker mold instead? The Siege Tetrajet mold has no room for the Coneheads' coneheads to fit into the little space where the non-coneheaded heads fold away.

Well, they could just go the partforming route. A cone hat that would serve as a tailfin for the vehicle mode, or something.
But most likely, some heavy remolding would be required.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Or the front end of the Tetrajet could be retooled into a collapsible head

Then where would the robot mode stabilizers come from?
