Thanks to Twitter user Tristan Dauer, we have a massive new batch of images to share with you of the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime!

During the course of this Twitter thread, we get some awesome new shots of the Leader Galaxy Prime, which include some in box shots, a nice look at the packaging, some vanilla robot mode and super powered up robot mode shots, and some comparisons to both the Siege Voyager Prime, and also to some of the Unicron Trilogy Prime figures.

While the figure is a bit smaller than its Cybertron daddy, it certainly appears to line up well with the Unicron Trilogy aesthetic, granting the Unicron Trilogy Prime some long awaited love that hopefully continues to expand as the War for Cybertron progresses.

Check out some of the images below, and click either the link above or the images below to check out the entire batch of images!

Hmmm, Cybertron Upgrade Prime might just be my first pass from Siege. Just not feeling it for regular full price.

Seeing them side by side, I might just get the Voyager Prime after all. It's fine for Ultra Magnus, but the Prime doesn't quite hit the spot for me with the armor upgrade.

I'll give it some more thought.

If I can't take the wings off the torso armor bit non-damagingly (aka without removing pins or anything), I'm hoping someone makes a chest piece w/o the wings and with the non-powered-up head (either as a Shapeways thing or as a finished third-party accessory) so I can put that on with the shoulder bits and leg pieces to have a non-powered-up Siege Cybertron Optimus.

One amusing comparison I just noticed about Cybertron Optimus Prime vs. Siege WfC Galaxy Optimus Prime is that in the original, the shoulder pads are the real truck front and the chest is faux windows. In the remake, the shoulder pads are the faux parts and the chest is the real truck front.

This looks nice but not one I'll be getting. I have the original one and he still looks fantastic. Voyager Prime looks good and I want to get Ultra Magnus. Just too many fake parts on this to warrant picking him up :roll:

Eh, the original's chest windows weren't fake per se. It's just that, rather than them being from a windshield, they were instead windows that came from the sides of the truck. The person who took the above photos merely forgot to fold the windows out to the sides for the truck mode.

Here's an example of the windows folded out correctly on the old toy:

Normally a few bits of pseudo-kibble don't bother me, but sweet Primus do those fake tires ever kill the entire wing assembly from behind. And that's the side exposed in truck mode too?!? I've seen garage kits fruit-roll-ups with perforated shapes that looked better...though that does make him the second Op in Siege to tack another random red bit of my childhood onto his body, after ViewMaster Optimus Prime. So the comparison pic is juuuust interesting enough to...



...NO, no, I know 13 years of inflation have happened since 2006, but for $10 more than the original I still have? Absolutely not. Taking the wait-for-a-sale-and-see approach. If none occurs, this will likely be the only Siege toy I pass on.

The side profile pic of Optimus makes the head and arms look to be set unnaturally far back, didnt notice that on the Magnus figure.

Just picked up y copy and they are set back a little, but in the pics above o/p is also leaning backward, so that's exaggerating it a little

Really dont like it. Even when it was announced I wasnt happy and now seeing it compared to Voyager Prime its just gash. Plus the extra 20-30 quid aint worth it.

The top half slides forward and back, other in hand photos have had it slid forward slightly line up his shoulders with his hips. These photos have him slid all the way back and leaning back.

Wow these pictures just illustrate how much quality had dropped over the last decade.

Siege Cybertron Prime looks like a poor knockoff compared to the original. The plastic on the original looks better, the sculpt is cleaner and more defined and everything appears to peg together much better on the original. Plus the original has more accessories and light and sound gimmicks.

I can't help but feel a little sad that Siege Cybertron Prime is 2/3rds the size of the original with lower quality and basically the same price tag.

These are different toys though, and one is not meant to replace the other. Its just a new toy of that design (the third one, in fact). The whole point of this toy is that you can include this design within one's generations collection with the same level of articulation and scale at the rest of the line.

Nice. If I ever see wave 2 Siege in my area, I'll let you know, but yeah, I wanted to weaponize my weaponizes ;) . Ideally though, I cant wait to finally put these guys with the Titans they were meant to be with. Haven't seen anyone post pics of that yet. Hopefully I can if I ever see Six-Gun

I'm on a business trip right now, where I found Six-gun. As soon as I get home, I'll snap some with Cog and Fort Max, and Six-gun and Metroplex.

I've already preordered this guy for 15% off which is pretty good. But his vehicle mode is really unstructured. The old figure has a nice sleek truck but the new one is just a bit of a mess. He's missing a wheel at the front and the rear of his trailer is straight instead of being angled which makes him look clunky. The robot mode is nice, but the truck could be a lot better.

I always found the truck mode terrible, even on the older one. Hence why I never leave him in that mode. The new one is worse of course, but it doesnt make the old one any better to me :lol:

Wasn't planning on any Wave 2 Deluxes but picked up Ironhide and Six-Gun. Ironhide will probably be my only recent exception to avoiding mold overlap(as I'm planning to pick up Ratchet). I passed on Sideswipe because I'm getting Red Alert, am passing on Prowl in favor of Barricade, and am passing on Starscream for Thundercracker(plus I have like seven different Starscream variants). Chromia might have been a pickup if she was combiner compatible but she's not (and I have motorcycle Chromia). Tax season kicked my ass so extracurricular purchases should probably be reduced anyway...

Always a pleasure to see Galaxy Convoy. That is one of my favoite toys from the Unicron Trilogy. I wasnt to like the Siege remake but unlike Ultra Magnus the Siege version leaves me feeling some type of way. It's ok and Im not blown away like I was for the original. Still might pick one up anyway who know....

Part of me likes the little cab Prime (probably boosted by that being the "comic model") but already having Magnus... it feels unnecessary outside of a Nova or Nemesis repaint/retool.

The Chromia is rather nice. I'll dig out my T30 one to compare at some point. The T30 would have been perfect if the bike canopy detached as a shield like it did in the comic run.

My reasoning was that I already have two fembots of a similar mold and will be getting Greenlight (and Lancer?) for the full combiner.

April 1st, the first day of the year's second quarter is right at our doorstep and thus the second wave of Transformers Siege is popping up across the globe. While it was found in the US a little while back, the toys are now being shipped from Chinese retailers (like Robot Kingdom), and found in Canada, Australia and Europe (specifically Germany).

The Canadian sighting found below is provided by your's truly where the deluxes were spotted at an EB Games store in Montreal. They retailed for 29.99 CAD (26.99 with Edge card). In Germany, the deluxes were found in Real supermarkets in the city of Braunschweig.

While not deluxes, wave 2 is creeping up in other European countries as well, like Hungary where they now have the Battle Masters and and Micro Masters.

In Australia, we have a sighting for wave 2 deluxes found at Toyworld, a collectables store which has been getting all the Siege line before bigger stores.

I manage to find all of wave 2 over the passed couple weeks. One of my friends doesn’t make it to the city often(he lives about 30 minutes away) so I went out to see if anything was getting restocked. One Walmart I went to had over 30 deluxes of wave 2 on the top shelf! It was insane

Same story here, managed to find everyone in the last week or so. I'm so glad the distribution is way better this time, as I didn't have this much luck with POTP

Posted by Flashwave on March 27th, 2019 @ 1:22pm CDT
So, yesterday I got Prowl and Ironhide in the mail. Of the two, Ironhide was my most anticipated, and while I quite like his boxy bot mode, as a whole this still isnt the Ironhide I wanted. My figure has the loose right leg flap, but both panels tab in nice enough. It looks lime the hing part was cast too wide to hold the plastic nubs in.

Anyway,

Comparison with Timelines Ironhide from the Energon Tow Line mold.

Image
Image

Now, I'm not saying the Energon mold is the greatest thing ever, it certainly has some wonky proportions, spindly thighs, a too round head and Van mode, but pound for pound this does everything one could want out of a G1 Ironhide remake: battle sled, gun ports, seperate robot mode, and I stand vy my argument that this is the best remake Ironhide we have up til Siege. Certainly better than the Ubiverse mold, whose vehicle had more panel gaps than a shattered mirror.

Is it better than Siege? Not in Bot mode, but the Jury is out for me on Vehicle mode. For all of its touting about "Choose your Weapon Loadout", Siege has been very hard for me to find weapons I like. True, I am using old toyline guns and Hasbro can't be fairly judged for not bring baclwards compatible with every gun they ever made, but the 5mm peg os standard for a lot of things and I cant be the only one using old toy guns.

The guns I am using for Ironhides past and present are a gun from one of the CW Jets with the propellant tank, and the two cannons from Prime Kup, intended for an Ironhide release that never came. Of those, the CW Gun looks great, but the Prime Cannons are not only small looking, but they are loose in his pegholes. They hold well enough for static display, but they fall outV despite being snug on every other figure including Timelines 'Hide. And in vehicle mode, Ironhide doesnt have a lot of usable 5mm ports. The 4 in top are great except if you put the rocket launcher in one you block the other behind it. There are no ports on the side. With Timelines Ironhide, I could swing those canjons backwards and make them rockets. Not so much here.

Thanks to Chuckdawg's review, for showing me the hidden side ports. If the cannons were longer, they could look really good there, but its not a bad look.

Still, I can't say I am dissappointed by Ironhide, even paying a bit extra for shipping, its still a good toy, and the store I bought it from was a local toy shop, so yay for supporting small businesses!

It isn't an update in any way, it's a homage. It's just a call back to the original, but only partial since the smaller bot mode looks nothing like the Cybertron figure. In the end it's still G1 Prime with someone else's gimmick just like how Siege Ultra Magnus is G1 Magnus with RID Magnus' alt mode.

Don’t bother dude. He’s troll. He hops sites and just bashes everything. He’s not here to make a conversation, or partake in the communities. Just trolls and leaves and heads to tfw2005 to do the same thing. Just ignore him. That’s what everyone else tries to do. Entire pages have been removed due to his contributions to forums becuase he trolls and starts arguments

It’s not worth it

In the Twin Cities area, it seems the Walmarts only got one case each of Deluxe Siege Wave 2. Once they were gone, that was it. The pegs have been bare for weeks. Just last week, stores again got ONE case of Voyager Siege Wave 2, and now those are drying up with nothing left to restock. If other Walmarts around the country have plenty of figures, I think we can safely blame any lack in other areas to Walmart's stupid inventory tracking and supply distribution?

Now, my Walmarts aren't really stocked, like each store will have 1 or 2 of each case, so that means about 1 or 2 deluxes of each character on the shelves. Voyagers are a little weird where one Walmart will have all the voyagers, but no deluxes, and another would be the exact opposite.

What I meant in replying was that I at least found everyone, but it wasn't all in one store, so driving to the next one was necessary.

In any case, I really hope you find who you are looking for. As you already know, Siege is filled with all of these great figures, and I would hate to have someone miss out on what they want.

P.S., after seeing Siege Prowl in stores, I really have to ask, do his proportions really bother you? He looks perfectly fine, and even better knowing that this is Prowl. I will admit that Barricade looks better though, as I like the black and purple combination, but Prowl is still a great looking mold ;)^

I will admit that Barricade looks better though, as I like the black and purple combination, but Prowl is still a great looking mold ;)^



Personally I think Prowl might be the my favorite out of the the wave. He’s duking it out with ironhide but I’ll admit his flaws bring him down just a notch. Prowl is much better in person than what photos are doing for the guy.

Nice. If I ever see wave 2 Siege in my area, I'll let you know, but yeah, I wanted to weaponize my weaponizes ;) . Ideally though, I cant wait to finally put these guys with the Titans they were meant to be with. Haven't seen anyone post pics of that yet. Hopefully I can if I ever see Six-Gun


I'm on a business trip right now, where I found Six-gun. As soon as I get home, I'll snap some with Cog and Fort Max, and Sixgun and Metroplex.


Thanks, I'm sure your pics will be much better/more creative, but for now, I did manage to see wave 2 begin to hit my area. Managed to get Six-Gun. Now...at long last...

Additionally, if anyone at Hasbro sees this. If they want to take an extra $40 from me, with some easy repaints, Select Series Metroshot and The Red and Gray "Cog" that homages Grand Maximus would be greatly welcomed

Grand's Cog is green and red, though.

Same story here, managed to find everyone in the last week or so. I'm so glad the distribution is way better this time, as I didn't have this much luck with POTP


In the Twin Cities area, it seems the Walmarts only got one case each of Deluxe Siege Wave 2. Once they were gone, that was it. The pegs have been bare for weeks. Just last week, stores again got ONE case of Voyager Siege Wave 2, and now those are drying up with nothing left to restock. If other Walmarts around the country have plenty of figures, I think we can safely blame any lack in other areas to Walmart's stupid inventory tracking and supply distribution?


Now, my Walmarts aren't really stocked, like each store will have 1 or 2 of each case, so that means about 1 or 2 deluxes of each character on the shelves. Voyagers are a little weird where one Walmart will have all the voyagers, but no deluxes, and another would be the exact opposite.

What I meant in replying was that I at least found everyone, but it wasn't all in one store, so driving to the next one was necessary.

I think Sige Prowl IS better tham the pictures, but those thighs are spinly, and we have had too many car guys over the years with the collapsing leg trick for that to be excusable. I also really dont like the car without the Lightbar, so while I am excited for Barricade in some ways, i am also less thrilled for Streak and the potential Smokescreen.

I think i am gonna end up givong Barricadr thr bigger of thr teo guns from the Generations Skids mold. Not sure if I will give him the grey skids gun, the one that came with Crosscut, or the purple gun from AOE Rollbar. The Purple might match best, or I could paint one.

Faded old stock photos make colors look washed out. Ryan's in-hand photo gallery does much better justice for the colors. :D

Prowl is indeed a very good mold, and much better in person than stock photos would have you believe. I also don't think his proportions are all that off either. My only gripe is that he could use some more/different paint apps. Bring on the rest of the Datsun Bros.!

Yes we have but we haven’t had cars that legs transform like Prowls. That’s the thing. A lot of bots who turn into cars legs just fold over the back of the thighs where prowl transforms not unlike the original prowl or a lot of Binaltech figures who’s legs weren’t very thick where the legs collapse. I mean you look at the inside
If his altmode, there’s not a lot of room in there when transformed.

I see the gripe and criticism from people and maybe I’m just happy to have a prowl that doesn’t suffer from sticky paint syndrome but nothing about him bothers me.

It isn't an update in any way, it's a homage. It's just a call back to the original, but only partial since the smaller bot mode looks nothing like the Cybertron figure. In the end it's still G1 Prime with someone else's gimmick just like how Siege Ultra Magnus is G1 Magnus with RID Magnus' alt mode.

Which, I for one, actually enjoy.

Theres Cog, Sixgun, and Brunt

i wonder what will they do to Fasttrack and Slammer? :-? :???:

Slammer makes sense as quick retool or repaint of Brunt. I could see Fasttrack as a retool/combo of sixgun and Cog. But I surmise that Fasttrack will be packed with scorponok. So next summer at the earliest

As previously stated yesterday was my first sightings of wave 2. I managed to see at least one of all the deluxes, and one Starscream between the stores I went to. Additionally, I've seen quite a bit of Aimless in stores, but no Pteraxadon. It's like people are going through and just getting him. I went to 2 Targets and a Walmart yesterday. All 3 had plenty of wave 1 (Lionizer, Firedrive and Blowpipe), & Aimless from wave 2...I'm sure some of them are *whatever* battle master is repacked from W1 into W2...But it was still puzzling nonetheless.

I'm mostly getting them for my son, so I'll admit I'm not the best at identifying them, especially since some of the humanoid ones look so similar. Other than the fire blasts, I wish Hasbro would have tried a little harder with color coordination (other than swapping them) to make them standout somehow.

And Totally glad to be so. In fact, I hope everyone here, no matter where in the world they live, If they can sight these toys within say..a 2 week window between March 25th and April 7th (except in Japan where we know they have their own release schedule, which isn't a bad thing), then I'll concede that distribution is actually getting better, which is something to definitely be glad about.
