There does seem to be a lot of wasteful packaging, They could fit at least another member in there

So just to confirm, because, I'll admit, I haven't been paying the closest of attention but...
All sales points for the Siege line are:
Battlemasters (comparable to TM&PM from previous lines) $5.99 MSRP USD
Micromasters (comparable to Legends from previous lines) $9.99 MSRP (though it's 2 smaller figures *apporxamately* comparable to a single legends size when stood on top of each other?)
Deluxe (comparable to previous lines) $16.99 MSRP
Voyager (comparable to previous lines) $29.99 MSRP
Leader (comparable to previous lines) $49.99 MSRP
Titan (Omega Supreme) ??? *Hopefully* not more than $159.99

Note, the Hasbro packaging says "Flak" and not "Flask," as had been thought before. I was pretty sure that "Flask" was just a misprint on the presentation slides we saw at SSCC, as he was still referred to as "Flak" in other marketing and press materials.

Deluxes will most likely be $19.99 MSRP USD, just like those of the Studio Series line.

We would need a repaint though to line up, would delta Magnus really count towards that? Is there any other figure we would need at that size?

It is still uncertain since they stopped giving us MSRPs. At least we know Walgreen's price will be $17.99 (exclusives will be priced at $19.99)

I mean, you really think they'd have only two different Leader molds for Siege? I'm talking actual, distinct mold here, repaints and retool don't count.

I've noticed the instructions also have the symbols so they might be in there for each individual character or it could be on the back of the card.

It's possible Shockwave get headswapped into somebody else. His design is suitably generically 'big clunky robot with guns' that he could get a new head (and hand) and some new/modified armor parts.

An Ultra Magnus retool/repaint does seem the most likely. There isn't much of anything they could do with Shockwave at retail (maybe a gray Shackwave exclusive later) and the third mold will be a tail ender so there's no room for a second use at retail there either.
Now that I think about it I guess there is a heavy retool that could work for Shockwave...
Wont work at retail in Siege since we already have a Voyager, but maybe down the trilogy or as an exclusive.

You're right, that's strange then why it's not in the same place unless they felt it woukd interfere with his the names are displayed.

They could always do a lazy throwback to Energon Six Shot, no need for new parts or minimal

Similar to the MP 05 Kreemzeek being translucent but his knees are way bent down. The Kremzeek for KissPlayers had him painted bright yellow solid.

Shockwave repaints:
Grey Shockwave (Shackwave)
Actionmaster Shockwave
Five Faces of Darkness Shockwave
Energon Sixshot
Not saying these are good ideas but there are options.

... of which there are technically two: color-opposite Energon Shockblast, and the BotCon Customizing Class one... well, the Animated-inspired SG Longarm version
:EDIT: I can't believe I've only just now noticed this:
We all know Topshot is actually Big Shot renamed, right? Apparently, his new name has the trademark-strengthening "Autobot", making his new name Autobot Topshot.
... they're good at hiding that.

They sure are, but it makes me wonder why they didn't just call him "Autobot Big Shot"? Topshot is his Japanese name so maybe they just liked it more and it worked better for Takara Tomy?

Not every name can be "rescued" by adding a prefix, it's more for strengthening it by making it more unique. Besides, TakaraTomy takes over Hasbro's names for most of their shared lines, ever since the 2007 movie. Also, the name of his Japanese counterpart back in G1 was Gunlift, so that's not a factor.

As much as I passed on TR Megs, and this guy is quite similar, minus the jet mode, that face just makes me want to get him.
Also, where does he store those sword blades in, in tank mode?

Agreed -- Still dislike the dirt/damage effects, some of it doesn't even look intentional, more like someone touched the figure with paint-hands. (Hey, anyone notice Flywheels has none of that?)
Best Megatron head/face-sculpt after the MP-36.

You may be right. Though shouldn't they be poking out the back of the turret? They are quite long, and the arms are collapsed. Haven't seen any tank mode pics where they can be seen.

Yes. Haven't seen this good of a face sculpt for Megs outside of MP-36.

They're about as long as the fusion cannon, which forms the middle of the turret. Past it the blades may hide under the cannon.

If that's the case, they are extremely well hidden. Wouldn't think the fusion canon would hide them so well.

I’m positive I won’t happen, but with those extra appendages, I thought that mold would make a pretty decent Shokaract.

Pretty cleverly integrated and hidden. In some pics you can see the pointy bits poking out the back.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:[img]nip[/img]Overcracker wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:*squints eyes*Overcracker wrote:Also, where does he store those sword blades in, in tank mode?

Yeah, it is fairly wasteful but it doesn't look to be any worse than the current Legends cards already are. It's definitely packaging designed to maximize the space for the "Catch the customers' eyes" artwork above all else.
Skritz wrote:Wait. THE TURRET MOVES?!
I'm honestly not too surprised. HasTak figured out how to pull that stunt off way back in 2005 with Cybertron Defense Scattorshot, and repeated it in 2015 with Combiner Wars Megatron.
Do you know what would be a good exclusive for this line if it doesn't happen at the tail end of PotP? A second US release of the Unite Warriors Blastoff mold... this time in G2 colors. Yeah, it wouldn't exactly fit in properly with the rest of the Siege stuff, but that's something that exclusives are good for. And Hasbro does owe us one *glares at the Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus set*
