War for Cybertron SIEGE Greenlight Stock Photos are GO!

Springer's Mom has got it going on.

The empty spot on her car mode where the Autobot symbol has been left off is a bit odd-looking. Not sure without a back shot how I feel about the hand placement in that mode. And then there's the head, which I certainly hope they've just neglected to tuck in... All that said, I'm digging it. The new deco and tooling do a good job distinguishing her from the other two. Her head and colors are amazing. The accessories look fun too.

I wonder if she's mistransformed here, the photographer deliberately fan-moded or her official bot mode has her kibble left down. Either way, when I get her, I'll probably fold all her kibble up like I do with Firestar. It'll depend on how she and Moonracer look together, I guess, since I leave Moonracer's down as a sort of long coat effect.

Looks that way. The flat kibble pieces are shaped differently as well and there's no ports on the arms anymore. It also looks like the main part of the torso is different too.

Just a bit of speculation here, but remolding the back flap to be folded down like a cape may be the way that Hasbro has found to repaint Greenlight as Lancer eventually (with a new head, of course). Lancer has the most pronounced “skirt” on her character model, so it makes sense for Hasbro to focus on that to give her a more distinct silhouette from the rest of her teammates.

The only retooled parts are the forearms and head. The torso looks identical.

Actually the head, torso, feet, lower legs and forearms are all retooled.

If not for the humongous backpack, I'd really like this mold and the retooling that has gone into Greenlight. That and, you know, Greenlight of all people getting a mass retail figure.

I like big backpacks and I cannot lie...


Anyways.

Looking at that flame effect they really need to make a new Fallen figure with those things stuck all over him

Man I'd give a kidney for a more Dreamwave-esque Fallen, dark paintjob with glowing furnace orange and angry Mazinger-esque face. After ROTF this kind of design went by the wayside, with the 'Megatronus' identity taking over and the flaming design being forgotten

Stick those effect parts on a Siege Megatron retool and we're good to go.

Why not Combiner Wars Megatron? He's bigger and the Fallen was huge in Dreamwave IIRC

Mistransformation dead ahead
