Video Review for Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce

Redwing and Refraktor playing with their new toys. The Micromasters are all a lot of fun. Cratermaker totally steals the show. An already great mold with a fantastic new color scheme. The plane guys are the next best followed by Road Police and then the Fireline/Wheelblaze truck mold. The new molds for Ricon (Whose alt mode VERY closely resembles CW Ironhide IMO) and Irontread are okay with Irontread being the better of the two due to a kinda nifty rotating cab transformation, but the articulation and aesthetics for both are hampered by both of them basically wearing their entire alt modes on their backs. Overall, a really fun set though. I am very happy I got it.

And I found Refraktor. I kinda forgot about him given how hard he has been to find at retail and the announcement of the toy-accurate three pack. My Walmart had three of him, but I only bought one. Very unfortunate for whoever comes after me.

All I’ll say is, if Wallyworld pops out Jetfire for less than I paid pulse for, I’m going to be screaming at the moon.

That is pretty cool. I'm surprised, and I'll be happy to say i was wrong, if it actually shows up in my area. To WM credit, one of the stores in my area did sell premium toys last year such as the Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet and Mjolh Mewmew Thor's Hammer.

Price I would imagine to be the same $79.99, but you don't have to pay for shipping if you see it in store. I presume that Predaking didn't make it to US Retail because the transition of TRU closing, may have been to soon for Hasbro to get another distributor...I just wish there was some way of knowing if Walmart would even carry Omega Supreme

Of course, this is the same walmart that goes overboard on anti theft devices for everything, and even locks up shaving products and pain relief medication. I imagine they'll have to hire a security guard for the toy section if they get these higher priced items...

Enjoy!

Why is everyone calling this holo-Mirage. He’s not a Hologram, he’s turning invisible. That was his special power.

On the TV show, yes. According to his biography and once-used power in issue 4 of the comic book, he creates a hologram of himself. So, whichever you want it to be, it can be.

I’m just going off the literal product description I know how Mirage’s powers work. It’s a place holder term it’s short and gets the rough point across. Say holo Mirage and people know what you’re talking about.

Maybe it just sounded better than Inviso-Mirage? I don't know.

"Holo Mirage" is the official (trademarked) name of that particular release:



Misnomer? Yes it is.

I got it,I could easily buy him off of HasbroPulse, but at a local Walmart, spotted the shelf price tag for him. To me that would be more gratifying to buy him in a store. Trust me, that will only hold for awhile. In addition, at a Target, spotted the shelf price tags for the Seeker 3 pc and the Mircomaster 10 pack.. Fingers crossed!

Don't know if it's the same elsewhere, but my local Walmart is going to perform the reset of the toy section this coming week, excited to see new stock! Keep your eyes peeled for hung up floor planners, and the date on the bottom.

amazon exclusive thanks Prime!...So anyone can get it even a little bot like me in Italy

Covert Clones, ‘Holo’ characters, hate to say it but the Autobots appear to be experimenting in a seemingly disposable warrior class. I mean Weaponizers are designed to be weaponized dismembered corpses. I fear to ponder the depths the heroic Autobots will resort to for victory. Just snatch up some innocent Micromaster walking by “guess what little buddy you’re my shield and/or gun today”.

Nice draft program you’re either a living shield or a gun or a dead gun.

Dang Siege is dark!

So what's the deal with Bluestreak and Soundblaster? When do they release? I kinda missed that bit of info during the hubbub of Comic-Con.

Of course in the photo is the Studio series Long Haul I found at the same Target. Unique thing about the Micromaster set, someone had returned it for some reason.. It had been opened and the figures cut from the inside bubble package. Took it to the customer service, they gave me 15% off the original price and they where all good, no damage.
Still no Seeker 3 Pak or Jetfire, fingers crossed!

Daaaang nice score Mirage!!

right now, the seeker three pack is only being sold in select stores. Check the availability online- if your store is listed among those that carry it, you're in luck. supposedly will be available for order online later this month.

Why not just get Jetfire online right now?

I want a bunch more colors of Lionizers. What a neat little mold.
