New Images for Transformers Siege Impactor and Mirage showing in Package and Finalized Deco

Am I seeing similarities with CW Brawl in Impactor? , or is it just my imagination...

...how? He doesn’t transform or look anything like him in any way

Also, the instructions are wrong (gee, there's a shock) about Trypticon's purple cannon barrels. They should be extended in ship mode (to make the towers look more like guns). and collapsed in city mode.

I hope they do a bow battlemaster.

Wait, what do you mean by --- OH MY GOD I THOSE DO PULL OUT.

They both look great. I’m not gonna get Mirage though. Classics Mirage was the in the first batch of Transformers I ever bought. I just can’t see myself replacing him.

Picking up impactor tho the autobot sybmbols in kind of a weird place and will be awkward looking when replaced with a sticker to keep all the autobot symbols red. Fingers crossed Hasbro doesnt just use a repaint for warpath.

Mirages alt mode is a lot worse than it appears in the image, the spoiler reminds me of an old 80's robot car that had its legs sticking straight up despite how flat/plain Mirage looks. I do like his bot mode and will probably pick one up on sale but repaints are going to be hard to justify the price for a figure that essentially only has a robot mode for me.

blackeyedprime, take into account that Mirage's forearms are supposed to be his engine block. Does that help any?

Hehehe. Yes, yes they do. And the 5mm ports on the towers make nice places to put Battlemasters, that's where I have Blowpipe and Aimless for now.

I never saw an engine block look like that on a racecar, there is usually a bunch of space under the spoiler.

He's a Cybertronian car. That's all you need to know to justify how he looks.

Well to be fair, aerodynamics don't seem to matter much on Cybertron. I think it's a good idea as far as transformation goes and implemented as well as that price point could allow. The spoiler bits do look cool on his shoulders though. I wonder if a few more moving parts could have put the arms behind or under the altmode with the spoiler clean and free on top?

From what I can tell, the legs form the whole front and middle (the spoiler folds into the legs), the chest forms the back end (Starscream style), and the lower arms form the engine block. The back spoiler also sits rather high for it to normally be effective... kinda like Energon Prowl:
