We're doing some Wrecking and Ruling today. And maybe a little ghostroad bustering!

Siege Optimus Prime vs. Megatron.

Siege Flywheels/Skytread vs. Siege Ultra Magnus.

Cog vs. Brunt.

Received my Reflector from Amazon today! This is the first "proper" official toy of Sunbow Reflector, and a character I never really figured I would have. Getting three of the same was a weird experience (I do have MP Prowl, Blustreak and Smokescreen; but it's not quite the same thing.)

The likeness is really good, and the camera-mode is not bad, it's actually pretty photogenic. (It doesn't scale with anything obviously, but it's the principle.) 3Ps/KOffers will probably come up with an upgrade-kit given time. It's really the viewfinder piece that's most notably missing.

It was a clever of HasTak to make "them" exactly the same with
detachable aperture piece. This way it doesn't matter which one you get. I like that all the aperture pieces are used in alt-mode.. one stays "permanently" tabbed to the middle body, another is used to connect the tripod, and the third one acts as a shutter button, tabbed to the left body's neck. Shame it isn't stored anywhere in bot mode.

His old timey gangster gun is kind of funny but his model cel never specified a gun, and it forms a tripod so..

Yes, this is a cool set! ;)^

The cartoon-accuracy in the SIEGE line, the robot-scale, extra articulation and the pace, all make me want to get almost everything... but I'm drawing a line. Only because there's already the MP line. BTW didn't really bother with the individual "made-up" alt-mode yet.

That’s begging for a photo op!

Doesn't it peg onto their back?

You mean his lower back? I don't like it.

But I figured it out --

Yeah, low back. Cool solution. I do wish the weapons and such combined .

Figured out how to overcome the shortage in flying bases.

Trypticon made a brief appearance, but because I needed to get back to work, only Brunt remains.

While I do not have the good photo op abilities as D-Max, my Siege Micromasters have joined the club at my office!
BTW a late shout out to D-max on your latest!

Nice! My Micros are coming later this week.

I'm glad someone likes my library display for my bots.

And here is my contribution for today

Always brother, that is awesome!

With adding Jetfire, had to show him off at the office. Of course the one photo with Fort Max holding him, didn’t make the cut.

Of course using Jetfire’s burst affects looked good with Megatron and not too bad for Galaxy OP but i was just messing around with him.
Enjoy, thank you for looking!

If we were allowed cameras where I work, I would post mine, unfortunately, due to the nature of my work, security prohibits image capturing devices of any kind. I did start to downsize a bit because we're moving to another location in the building, and the work space is smaller

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Thu Aug 08, 2019 5:14 pm

I can relate somewhat, not necessarily in my building per say, but in the military certain areas, yep no devices.

That will suck for sure having to downsize! Of course I will be pack up my office gang here in November time frame, but that is due to retiring, still will be a pain moving them but its ok.

I wish I could retire, but I have at least 15 years to go (at the current rate). I don;t work for the government per se, but we are contracted to work for the government (specifically Dept of Education) to service the loans, and since accidentally capturing a borrower's info could lead to a security incident, they ban all image capturing devices in the building. My department in particular, since we deal with military borrowers. My supervisor is a big TF fan as well, and we all chipped in to buy him the Super Ginrai/godbomber combo for his birthday. he loves it, but for some reason, it was missing the sword hilt, and we can't find anywhere to get a replacement for it.

I found you another option. I haven't been on the Siege thread in weeks, so apologies if this is old news.

Finally got around to combining Orthia. She's pretty slick!

These ladies will by hanging out with me today while I tweak the various configs, pose and weapon storage options.

I feel like I need Victorion's hands and feet. :-?

EDIT: more pics and the usual BS that trickles from my fingers

My new amazing optimus prime siege. After owning several movie legends variations, one 2006 classics (battle 2 pack), RotF Battle Blades Optimus and the Last Knight Voyager Optimus...I've been disappointed in their designs in one way or another such as paint applications but SIEGE is a very affordable and faithful Cybertronian/G1 Figure

Im so dangerously careful about never dropping him.
