Siege Titan Class Omega Supreme Gets New Stock Photos Ahead of October Release

Y'all know that's a Purple Autobot Sigil there on Impactor right? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!!!!!!! SHATTERED GLASS BABY!!!!!

No, I'm not exited at all. Quite the opposite. For me, Omega is a reason to stay in

im a little pissed that they would tease us with an august release then pull the rug out from under us
and say its going to be october WTF

Hi Guys - I'm new here. I'm a bit disappointed with Mirage. What I like about the SIEGE line is the Cybertronian modes. I gave Hound a bit of a pass.. and Prime.. I could get behind Magnus being a truck transport.. but this full-on sports car design feels out of place for the theme. I would have preferred they tweaked the design like they did with Prowl, the seekers, and Iron Hide.

@Zaren
First, learn the difference between a sports car and an F1 style racecar. Or have you somehow confused SIEGE Mirage and Alternators Mirage?
Second, it's plainly not an Earthly one.
Third, what about Sideswipe?
Fourth, look up Beast Machines Mirage.

@Flashwave
You might want to finish that sentence.

This is what's called a production delay. Well, that and idiot marketers announcing a release date before a toy has fully passed testing.

Sorry this comment is a little late but was doing a little catch up on this thread. Apeface is pure awesome sauce.

This having to catch up from taking a little break sucks. I argue with myself all the time wether to spend my money on a figure i missed on or get the one that's out now.

Sideswipe might be a close concept but it works for me. Feels futuristic a bit. YA - I MISSPOKE. Should have said race car. I'd have loved something more in the vein of the Beast Wars Mirage. This Mirage still feels like the classic Formula One race car. That said - I'm still going to get him.

Three things I want to say on Omega:

1) We already knew about new the hips, but that doesn't make it hurt my eyes less every time I see them.

2) They've modified the upper arms, and by modified, I mean they took a chunk out of them for some reason.

3) The hell is going on with his neck???

I am not saying Omega is not a good toy. But it is undeniable that it is a much less appealing figure than the one with which we were initially presented. It just sucks knowing what could have been vice what we're actually getting.

Criminy crickets, I want this toy so much. Just an absolute beauty (and a beast). And Countdown is such a perfect size, too. I might save just to justify buying this thing.

I don't see what you mean by the modified upper arms, nor what's wrong with his neck, but I can clearly see the hips. Others have mentioned the redesign needed so that the waist rotation would work properly. While this may be a bother for some aesthetically, I much prefer this insignificant sacrifice if it means we can get a properly articulated robot mode.

For anyone still not convinced:


And his eyes totally used to be blue!

Well... Lightpiping was a nice idea, but if the eyes aren't going to be blue in the final product, I'm gonna end up painting over the yellow eyes so I can have the nice blue color

Just got Red Alert in from Pulse and I'm sad to see that the Cybertronian writing didn't make it onto the production figure! it looked so cool on the renders.

pity bout the hips, cos the aesthetic balance was better with the previous designs..

the arms are not an issue

the head was the first thing I noticed in the new pics. I'm just hoping it's an issue that won't be noticeable once we start moving and posing the figure round - might've always been there and wasn't visible unless the photo was taken straight on

I don't have a problem with how the new hips look, myself. Or the change to the upper arms.

I had the same thought.

Honestly, I'm sorta surprised it's taken this long for a Titan-class toy to end up needing a major revision like this. It's a risk with such large toys, sadly. Heck, the original Fort Max mold doesn't pass the drop test - that's why we never got an RiD import of Brave Max.

Dunno why I just realized that Soundblaster has the same retooled chest door that the G1 Soundblaster had, so now he can accommodate 2 cassettes

Can't confirm, but it seems a strong hunch now that those 35th anniversary figures will be the missing WFC 44-47

That's also my guess as well. So will they be Selects or something entirely different?

I'd likely something different, an odd choice to celebrate the 35th anniversary mind, prime and megs? No brainer, bluestreak and soundblaster? Not so much. Also strange that bluey would be the only Deluxe mold among the lot.

My guess is Bluestreak and Soundblaster are gap fillers jammed in to finish up the Siege line-up without adding actually adding additional figures.

If the 35th anny is a different line, that will spread the Datsun bros across three lines.

Hasbro is the new Twizzlers...

I thought the same thing, but looking at the video which gives multiple angles, it appears the head was indeed more flush to the body on the prototype. If they made the change to add more articulation, that's fine, but why does it have to be so unsightly? Look at Siege Jetfire's neck. It's a thing of beauty.

Bluestreak works for me as a celebratory guy. He was one of two my first and to this day favorite TFs of all time. And of course Hasbro is only in it to please ME!

When you're done cutting me down, could you help me put some air back in my tires, buddy?

OH! THAT BLUESTREAK LOOKS SO GOSH DARN GOOD!
Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait!

Again, cant confirm, but a strong hunch these 35th seem like standard retail for Siege, just with different packaging. Of course since *standard retail* is pretty much reduced to 2 chains in the US at least, that doesn't mean much.

So, Siege Jetfire listing is back on Hasbro Pulse, but its a pre-order listing estimated for August 8th. So I wonder if that means that all other online retailers (besides Amazon and Pulse) who didn't get them on July 1 automatically get theirs pushed back to August as well? or will they get their supply sometime in July?

Fellow Seibertronian Black Hat has let us know of listings from Chinese on-line retailers stores shopee.tw and goods.ruten.com.tw showing Bluestreak and SoundBlaster in their Transformers 35th anniversary packaging. Unfortunately the current image quality is not the best but better official images will no doubt be debuting soon.

Bluestreak is a direct repaint of Prowl but with the much coveted shoulder cannons that will be included with both Smokescreen and Barricade.

And coming in hot from a reformatting looking like he's been doing some serious push ups and doubling up his chest capacity is the Soundwave retool SoundBlaster!



Will you be picking up the chattiest of the Autobot 'Seekers' to complete the Prowl/Smokesceen/Bluestreak trifecta? Will the shadowy Decepticon with the chest that's better than the rest round out your Siege Decepticon roster? Let us know in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Sorry, I'm only interested in kicking up some dust and running off to another thread to rinse and repeat with a false sense of "winning". I will toss you a few quarters for air though, pal

Anyway, I agree, BS does look very nice, but a little blurry and soft around the edges. Man, mold degradation set in fast. I guess Hasbro really is cutting corners. Joking aside, at first his front hood / chest spoiler looked larger, but after checking out Prowl, it's the same. He and Smokey really make Prowl look naked without any shoulder pew pews. A real bummer, but at least there are a few 3P options out there.

First thing I thought of when I saw Lancer was that she's ready to be appropriated by Destro's Iron Grenadiers...

side note but one of the few things I brought back from my trip to the US is something I had never seen before:



If any one s curious it tastes EXACTLY like what it says, it's just hard to imagine.

Well, I've never heard of those before! The one thing you won't find here is chocolate with toys in it. I always get kinder eggs when I'm traveling aboard. Then accidentally eat the toy and choke, the fucking FDA was right

Kinder found a way around it though for the US, I saw these at US Walmarts:

Yeah, but those are not as sexy (read illegal). I like to live on the edge "when in Rome and shit"

When in rome, you do as the romans
When in venice, your socks get wet

By the way, I am not too worried about getting this toy. I will wait it out, as I usually have. It being online exclusive and also being still a mass produced toy means there will be quite a bit to go around, we just dont know how long to wait till we know the best channels of purchase for all.

Well that's easy for us North Americans to say. I'll just wait for Pulse and click the pre-order button and get free shipping.

I will say that I skipped Elita at first until it was rumored that a full lady biner team would be released. I'm very excited to finish up the team. Would be cool if Hasbro went the CW route and released a legends class figure to go with them. I guess one of the non-combining Chromias will fill that support role.

Dogfight was available, and was glad to join the team

Pro-tip, bite off each end and use it as a straw for some milk and you'll get a slightly chocolaty milk.

Even more pro-tip, do NOT try that with orange juice...

Definitely gonna pick up Soundblaster. I kinda hope that Hasbro has a plan to release more cassettes in the second part of the trilogy or for the 35th anniversary subline like Ratbat and Enemy, with Enemy being repainted into Rumble and Frenzy

I wonder if we'll see an actual blue Bluestreak redeco as well. Perhaps in the Selects line?

A blue Bluestreak would be awesome.

I wish they'd quit it with the black Soundwave, if they wanna do a recolor, Hasbro should use the marvel colors and leave the violation of creative labs's trademark for takara in japan. Blah blah they don't do different decos across the ocean anymore , well, I don't care.

Violation of Creative Labs trademark? What are you referring to? And its only mass retail releases Takara and hasbro are synced on, I mean look at Star Convoy and the Seacons Besides I don't see a problem in referencing the reborn Soundwave from the headmasters series, especially with the remoulded front door

OS.. Why should he be colored like an error? Especially since it wasn't consistent and was only in the US comics.
Soundblaster, meanwhile, is a much more recognized alternate color scheme for Soundwave these days, with appeal on both across the Pacific and across the pond, and precedent in US toylines since Animated. And, in this case, comes with the spiffy "Hold two cassettes" feature.

Sir, please step away from Strada's remains with that stick.

One of the original sound cards for PC back in the day, along with AdLib and Gravis Ultrasound. And it's not a trademark violation because that falls in a different category.

Thanks Jelze, it would be weird to see them try to sue in that case.

Lancer looks like an Ally Viper, that 35th anniversary packaging isn't doing any favors showing how little of the box Bluestreak takes up.
