New Figure King Scans Show New Images Of Siege Apeface, Crosshairs And The Battle Squad

It's a bit weird, the jump in design from Tetrajet to Horrorcon

They will probably use that new earth mode mold and come out next year or so. Would make sense since we never saw them on cybertron, unlike the others.

It doesn't make sense in the fact that the idea of SIEGE was to give Cybertronian altmodes to Bots that never had one. You can sound off quite the list of examples as proof of concept, everyone from Ultra Magnus to Astrotrain. I vaguely remember the Battlechargers were in a poll to be added to this line and they never had one either.

That said, other than Jetfire and Omega Supreme, the SIEGE line concept has been by and large, a failure in terms of the Autobots. Their potential for cool Cybertronian vehicles squandered for generic "future" concept [Earth Based] car designs. No Bumblebee saucer or Wheeljack shuttle from the Sunbow pilot, just plain old boring cars and trucks.

Wasn't the battlechargers in the poll for the next part of the trilogy? They were never mentioned in regards to Siege. I feel your pain with the distinctively unaltered alt modes for the bots, but then they obviously felt that they couldn't maintain a full three years on Cybertron (under their restrictions)

It's been ...a while, since there was news on that poll. So I can't even remember the details at this point. That said, aesthetically they couldn't even maintain ONE year on Cybertron, let alone three

So from that standpoint, they shouldn't even have Earth Based forms in the next part either?

I wonder how big the next line will be and how many characters are supposed to be on the Ark??

Finally found him!

Doesnt matter that much for future figures, we already know we are getting micromasters and they weren't aboard the ark and we already have figures with earth modes before even getting on board the ark.Just as screwed up as the war for cybertron games
As long as we get figures with half decent alt modes (no hope for the micromasters combined weapon modes or rumble/frenzy) and cheaper or better alternatives to the original figures -from what ever their orig series, as the next lines go on. Also we better get that Titan Scorponok and he was nowhere near cyberton or the ark

A new rail racer would be awesome...I'm not getting my hopes up

Springer and Impactor are already present in the WFC line, so we can forget this trilogy sticking rigidly to the limited roster of the 80's cartoon. Once again, I point out next year is the 20th anniversary of Car Robots... Perhaps Gigatron or Rail Racer might make it onto the Ark?

Granted, this very year was the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars Neo, and we got jack all from Hasbro while Takara did Encore Big Convoy, Blue Big Convoy, and will soon release the Matrix Buster version.

I usually wanted to get the trio of jets in previous lines but Siege in happy with just getting Starscream.

I'm the opposite. Until now I haven't owned all 3 of them, only Starscream. Siege is changing that. I'm still passing on the Rainmakers and Red Wing.

I'm sort of the opposite. I finally got a larger than deluxe Skywarp, and the rainmakers and Redwing, but I'm not getting Starscream or Thundercracker
