Springer looks... Iffy to me. I like the figure's design and proportions, but the colors seem... Too play-doh like if that makes sense. Especially the green. Hopefully it looks better in hand

Springer's details (especially the flat chest) are not consistent with Siege line. Detail-wise it almost looks like a Deluxe rather than a Voyager class figure. I agree with the previous poster about the play-doh green color just look bad... (easy fix as I paint my figures).
I thought Hasbro can't top the Trilling 30 Springer ever in a main line so I thought I'd never have to get another Springer (except - MAYBE - Masterpiece) but this... this... while the engineering and quality still isn't anywhere close to the T30 mold, but damn... the G1 nostagia is calling me to get it.
Red Alert is a pass for me, not worth double dipping on the same mold.

I've noticed yet another difference between these "in hand" product shots from Takara Tomy and the Hasbro official renders we've seen earlier, when it comes to Red Alert, at least. These new pictures of Red Alert seem to be missing the "Fire Chief" Cybertronian writing on the side of the windowed dome and on the bottom of the chest/edge of the car mode hood.

His arms just being solid white doesn't look good, and the main reason I was interested in Red was because his color scheme was so much more varied than Sideswipe and it made the mold look better. I really hope this is going to end up being like Magnus's gun where the main Hasbro release isn't accurate to these Takara pictures, because otherwise that's a figure off the purchase list.

Really hoping those are prototype shots of red alert... stripping all the *good* paint apps off is no bueno.

On a side note... finally dragged out the T30 and Combiner wars (see following post for them).
I have to assume they’ll do Arcee... but I wonder which way they’ll go. The Titan’s version I think matches thr asctethic better... but that T30 G1 look....
Also wonder if they’ll keep the black highlights. Maybe it’s the Phantasy Star fan in me... but I like the pop

I'm wondering when we'll see a new Windblade. Her last Generations figure was also in Titans Return, and she seems to be a major character in the new comics, so I'm expecting an update before Arcee. On the other hand, there are multiple Cyberverse toys for her, so maybe not.

So i’ve been wanting to do this comparison for a while. You really can’t go wrong with either collection imo. Siege will definitely be more unique and mechanically interesting. But the CW line as a whole still looks nice together. (For sake of full disclosure- this is the Takara Prime set). Meant to grab both Hounds... but I think this is a fair summary.

Doubt Windblade will be a tetra jet as the comics show her with her Earth mode. As for Slipstream: Yes please! Though I'd want her to have a new mold actually, it's a real shame that all but one of her toys has been a repaint of an existing one.

I generally like the designs and engineering on these, but whenever I get a new one in hand, I feel like the plastic is cheap and that they cut too many corners on the final products (let no putting pegs in starscreams chest plate.

In an amusing twist, a recent Starscream mold got retooled into a female character at mass retail. But it wasn't as Slipstream, it was as Elita-1.

Even though he came out first, it really looks more like Elita 1 was the original idea and Starscream was the random retool opportunity to have more G1 on the shelves. hasbro never cared for that mold as a seeker, proven by the lack of any further redecos.

For my part, I really like this Springer. He evokes the G1 aesthetic as well as the IDW pre-thrilling 30 aesthetic. I guess I'm going to end up owning both - I still have Thrilling 30 in the box.

I like Springer, but what I don't like is the "battle damage" being on the green part of his chest instead of the yellow. In both alt modes the fronts look strange being bright yellow in the middle and all scuffed up on the sides. The colors don't bother me at all, they're basically cartoon accurate.
