Today we're bringing you two new galleries for Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Crosshairs and Trenchfoot! Crosshairs is available in the fifth and final wave of Transformers Siege due around this December and is a retool of the previously released Siege Ironhide. As such he clocks in at almost a full head taller than most of his Deluxe class contemporaries. He unfortunately does not come with his G1 Targetmaster partner Pinpointer but he does come with his W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher that is very much painted in honor of his old Targetmaster pal.

Instead of Pinpointer Siege has given us Trenchfoot, a redeco of Caliburst who transforms into a Foxhole Counterblast cannon. Trenchfoot comes with the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce three pack and is painted to very much evoke the feeling of Crosshairs' G1 sidekick. The two together make a visually impressive team sure to satisfy most G1 purists.

Seems weird that he's retail and not selects too but no complaints on that.

I don't know how this concept still loses people? Astrotrain is not "an old steam engine". He is an alien shape-shifting robot that looks like an old steam engine. Only on a superficial, visual level. Hence how the entire Decepticon army is able to board him in both altmodes as transport.

Just conjecture on my part but it's possible that Crosshairs was supposed to be a selects release but when Siege was extended for a wave, he got upgraded to main line release, the same way that Astrotrain was taken from Earthrise (which I'm thinking by them offering him again in wave 1)

Maybe they can do a little micromaster train station and train crossing guard.

...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
