New Galleries: War for Cybertron SIEGE Rainmakers Acid Storm, Ion Storm and Nova Storm

Posted by ZeroWolf Apr 21, 2021 at 2:31pm CDT 62,160 views
Greetings Seibertronians! Site owner, Seibertron, has been getting busy with his camera again, returning to previous toylines. Today, he is filling gaps within the first installment of the epic, War for Cybertron toyline, Siege!

The subjects today are the Rainmakers: Acid Storm, Ion Storm and Nova Storm. These three were sold as a Target Exclusive in the states, all being redecos of the very well recieved Siege Voyager Class Cybertron Mode Starscream, who turns into a tetrajet. The tetrajet is modelled like the ones that Skywarp and Thundercracker turned into back in the pilot of the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon.

The mould itself recieved a lot of use. It was redeco'ed (and given two alternate heads) for the following figures: Siege Starscream, Siege Thundercracker, Siege Skywarp (as part of the Amazon Exclusive Phantom Strike set, the Netflix Transformers WfC Voyager Sparkless Seeker, Netflix Transformers WfC Voyager Hotlink, the Target Red Card Exclusive Red Wing, and these three.

Check out the galleries, and a few choice images below:

It was only revealed less than a week ago, but Seibertron himself was able to get his hands on the new Buzzworthy Bumblebee Worlds Collide set. This 4-pack is set to be a Target exclusive this summer, and includes the Predacons Nemesis Primal, an Optimus Primal retool and redeco; and Blackarachnia, a retool and redeco of Kingdom Blackarachnia in her original Beast Wars toy colors. Also included is Bumper Bumblebee, a retool and recolor of Siege Cliffjumper with the appropriate Bumblebee head, though sadly not his elusive VW Beetle mode.

But the star of the set is none other than everyone's favorite winged wolf, the Decepticon Fangry! His original toy was released near the tail end of the G1 line in America, as a small Headmaster toy, along with his partner Brisko. Fangry's first update actually came during Titans Return in the form of Titan Master Fangry. He came as a small robot modeled after Brisko who could turn into the head of any compatible toy, and also included a small toy he could interact with in different ways, turning into either a dragon, a blaster, or when he combined with it, his original beast mode. While a cool little toy, it didn't quite satisfy those looking for a full sized update. But thanks to a heavy retool of the Titans Return Grotusque toy, we now get Fangry in all his Deluxe sized glory! Being faithful to the G1 toy, we now have an update to Brisko, Nebulos' most infamous cartographer, as well. Seibertron has been hard at work creating galleries for all of Fangry's most recent toys, and you can enjoy the fruits of that labor by checking out these three new galleries!

Take a look at the preview pictures below, and click on any one of them to be taken to that toy's specific gallery. You can also confirm the UPC and DPCI (Target specific inventory codes) codes below as well, which are DPCI 087-16-8265 and UPC code 5010993854783. Most Target stores are expecting the set in the next couple of weeks.

Wow, I'm used to ignoring anything in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee-branded packaging, but this is kind of a cool set.

That sure didn't take long Seibertron. I'm so in love with that Blackarachnia, the colors just make it look like one helluva scary, venomous spider. It's what a younger me saw when I would squint at her toy to make it look like her show self.

Besides that, I'd maybe like Fangry, but that's it. It goes without saying for Bee and his D20 die, but I would almost really want Nemesis Primal if his fur wasn't black. I already have Kingdom Primal. I think stark white fur would look great, really kind of accentuates that evil clone counterpart concept they were going for.

I think the white fur would look awesome on Nemesis Primal also. Though I could totally go for an Ultra Primal or Primal Magnus or something along those lines in Ultra Mammoth or (preferably) Ulta Magnus colors.

Now you’re talking! Maybe we could finally get that Rodimus Primal I’ve read about before on the Wiki. Basically, if black is the main color for a character, and that doesn’t change for their evil counterpart, it’s like eh? A little purple and turquoise isn’t quite enough.

The original concept for Rodimus Primal was the Optimal Optimus mold in Rodimus Prime colors.

Ah damn, at this point only the PotP mold would work huh. That reminds me of how much of a shame it is we may never see new Transmetals or Fusors for a looong time. I still have hope for a new Silverbolt and Quickstrike.

Which is why they made the "black redeco" grey for the Robot Masters Exclusive ;)

I *think* I have that? I get confused with those black repaints in the Robot Masters line. I really need to figure out which ones I have and which ones I don't and knock out their galleries after all of these years.

Coming in hot on the heels of Decepticon Fangry, Seibertron brings us a gallery of another figure from the same Worlds Collide 4 pack, Blackarachnia! Her deco and new head might leave some of you scratching your heads, because this is not how she looked in the Beast Wars cartoon. But that's what her regular retail release in the Kingdom line was for. This release of the Predacon femme fatale is an homage to her original toy that was released in 1996. That figure was a simple redeco of Tarantulas, which looked nothing like her show model. But many Beast Wars fans may like this version of of Blackarachnia if it reminds them of the toy they had as a kid.

Seibertron captured some fantastic shots of this soon-to-be released Target exclusive, including some comparisons to the figure she's decorated to look like, shots with her Predacon brethren, her regular retail Kingdom release, and the rest of her packmates. Those hoping to do a spider leg switch with the Kingdom version will be happy to see that Seibertron has done it for you, so you can see what that'll look like. Click on any picture below to be taken to these high class galleries.

Happy Hunting, Seibertronians!

Nope, can't really see the resemblance. In terms of paint/colour choices, it looks like a cheap Knockoff. They should have just painted it in "Fox Kids/Halloween" colours, and then called it a different character?

They were going for a blend of her original toy and it's included artwork.

I'd say they hit it pretty dead on.

Well, if that's the case then --- no, it's still hideous, IMO. What a waste of a remolded head...

Every time I see that Nemesis Primal... one thing goes through my head

Grape Ape... Grape Ape

AHHH! IT'S A GORILILILILILILILILILAAA!


just needs a green shirt, ball cap and a bowtie.

as for the Blackarachnia, she is garish, hideous, with something of a "lady of the night" look to her, which just adds to the over all look of foogly

I love it!

Cant wait to get this set.

Love the pics of Kingdom Blackarachnia with the swapped orange legs in both beast and robot mode. I'm definitely gonna do that.

What does Buzzworthy Blackarachnia with the swapped black legs look like in beast mode?

I was gonna say, I don't remember the original toy having a leopard print bra on, but this makes SLIGHTLY more sense.

Still looks terrible, though. The original toy is kind of ghastly colored already, this pushes it way over the top.
