The Transformers Siege wave 2 deluxes were first found at US retail earlier this month and since then a few reviews emerged. We have some below from both Chuckdawg1999 and Emgo. The reviews show us deluxe Chromia, Ironhide, Sixgun and Prowl. These are available at Walmart right now and are just shy of $20, which is the MSRP. Chromia, as you will see, is not a combiner limb and thus will not be part of the Elita 1 combiner. Let us know what you think of these toys and if you will be getting them all or not.

While the wave 2 voyager bots were also found recently, we still have yet to see the leader, Battle Master and Micro Master class at retail, so if you find them, let us know.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Ironhide is a large deluxe that feels solid but suffers from some thin plastic and weak panels with a weapon that could've been designed a touch better. SixGun has a weaker vehicle mode than Cog from Wave 1 but makes up for it with the sheer number of weapons it can form. Both are solid additions to any collection.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Prowl is a solid deluxe class figure and a nice update to the previously released Classics and Combiner Wars versions. Transformation is smooth and intuitive but the resulting figure has short legs that cause the overall proportions of the figure to look off. Being a core member of the Autobots it would be hard not to recommend their actual RoboCop.

It's not a good thing, my friend. It's a GREAT thing!

I'm super happy tonight too. I was tired after work and on the fence about stopping by another Walmart for a look at their Transformers section and just going straight home to decompress, but it paid off. I finally found both Starscream and Soundwave! I've got the Voyager Class of Wave 2 now covered, along with the Micro Masters in m stack at TFSource. The only Deluxe I've gotten so far is Prowl, though. Still need the other three and the Battle Masters.

I was able to snag Six-gun on Hasbro Pulse for $9.99...but he still hasn’t shipped out yet.

That's cuz they haven't received anything for wave 2 yet, you pre-ordered it, should be close to them getting it though - hopefully

So here's a funny question- what non-Siege figures do you guys think would "supplement" this line well? I can actually see a lot of the old BM Vehicon toys making very good cannon fodder (for either side with some stickers, depending on individual colours and designs), along with some of the Energon and Cybertron figures (Energon Landmine would look right at home next to the Siege Autobots IMO).

On the 3P side of things, some of the Planet X figures might work quite well- the Seekers they made would IMO make very good generics ala the Bumblebee movie (helped by their Thundercracker and Skywarp having quite different colours from G1).

I think some of the extravagantly weird stuff form cybertron would work really well here, like the speed and giant planet guys

I can confirm that this is true, and its the primary reason I went on a Vehicon ebay-shopping spree after Christmas. Mega-class Tankors look great with Siege Megatron. Deluxe Jetstorms look cool with Shockwave if you can put them all on flight stands.

Also a cool looking display combo:
1 Siege Megatron
2 Cybertron Sideways
3 BM Tankors
6 Cybertron Scrapmetal Drones
1 PotP Predaking

I've actually been using the old WFC/FOC figures that I have as additional troops. Granted, I don't have many of them considering I wasn't collecting at the time a lot of them were released. The ones I did already have was Ruination (always loved combiners), Blaster with Ramhorn and Eject in addition and that legends Bumblebee from T30. Then I picked up the T30 Seekers and might pick up the deluxe Cliffjumper so he can be a different mold than Bumblebee. The lack of blockiness for the WFC/FOC figures isn't really too bad because the new WFC figures are stylized versions with more greeble anyway

I picked up Starscream today. While he isn't as bad as has been made out, he defiantly breaks the streak of Decepticon voyagers being freaking awesome.

I'm trying hard to hold out for a slight discount on Starscream. Bot mode looked good (better than expected in person), but I'm still not sold on the tetrajet with legs.

Soundwave on the other hand is murdering it. I even like his weird space barge thing.

Soundwave is one of the better Generations figures made in a long time.

I had a lot of fun tinkering with his lamp post mode.

I could never settle on anything else to do with his arms, but I did change the legs up from the official configuration. Speaking of, lamp post mode is an intended bonus as there are pegs that hold his arms only in this mode.

So looking around online, I'm seeing the Deluxe size toys going for around $30 Canadian. Is that right? Can other Canadians confirm the price for me as I haven't been to any shops for a while due to no money.

I wonder if the individual reflector figures can be used as guns for larger robots?
