Hasbro stock photos of Siege Commander Jetfire, and the box via Forbidden Planet preorder

Wow! I've had a long day! Lore Keeper, Goats, thanks for pointing out the new head on Red Alert.
I didn't even see it right away. If the omission of the red biceps and tampoed symbols was a trade up for a new head, I'll gladly accept the trade.

I have 1 question/minor complaint: why does Jetfire have black feet?

red alerts also got less red on his legs (what would be under vehicle mode but front facing in robot mode). They have still kept the unnecassary black near the windshield whicch is one of put offs anyways (like hasbro CW stunticons). Still sticking to the classics for nearly all the carbots this line or waiting for a line that has Earth alts (or actual cybertronian style alts like some of the siege figures have).

Every time I see this guy I just hear Rom saying “Liquidator Brunt!”

That’s EX-Liquidator.

I hadn't planned on getting Red Alert anyway, being perfectly happy with my Universe 2.0 version, but the Siege Red Alert had looked just fine, until I saw that alt-mode, WTF?! That is horrendous!!

I don't think the light bar is actually black. If you look at the edges of the bar in the bot mode picture it looks more like a deep red.

I can definitely see it being a very dark red.

Jetfire looks great, but I don't think I care enough to drop a ton of money on him when I'm okay with the T30 version I have.

More like "once per year" (Fortress Maximus was 2016, Trypticon 2017), but yeah until further notice I'd expect just one for now. There may be some wiggle room somewhere in future tho.

Well, he isn't. He's a 20$ Accessory pack that double as a figure!

Weaponizers! Combine to form... CYBER-STEED!
