    Yeah that would actually be really cool. You'd also need to replace the arm kibble though.

    Although I will say the design of the truck is starting to grow on me. Obviously I'd prefer the G1 cab, but I'm starting to dig his design in person.

    Call me crazy, but I actually like the battle damage? At least on Optimus, it doesn't look THAT bad, and I kinda dig the asymmetrical paint apps. I think I'm just a nut case though, since that doesn't appear to be the majority opinion :p 

    Eesh, that's not good, hope it's not a theme with weaponizers as I'm really hoping to get sixgun when he comes out in wave 2.


    Also a question, I've heard that the wave 2 micro masters were released in Manila. Has anyone seen the wave 2 deluxes and voyagers yet? Really hoping to see more pictures and videos of sixgun and soundwave

    To add in All of the features from the original is probably out of the budget, recent toys dont really have opening, pop out features anymore, nor missiles or keys etc but a 3P may make something Similar

    My God almighty, granted pic on the right is NOT professionally done so the angle and lighting are not flattering at all but still, an awesome homage. 20190118_184014.jpg

    Yes, I know that. I didn't think it would have pop out features or keys and missiles, but they could easily make the cannon be able to open by hand just as a cool nod to the original.

    I really hope you're right. Having the base windshield peeking out under the super mode ones is...not very flattering.

    Has anyone else had these issues with their Siege Optimus? I thought about getting another copy but is turning out to be cost ineffective. Trying to figure out exactly what’s wrong to fix it. If anyone has any ideas I’d appreciate it so that I can get to properly appreciate Siege Optimus.

    Does anyone have both WFC-S Ultra Magnus and OG Transformers Cybertron Optimus Prime in Super mode? I'm wondering how they look together to gauge the size difference between the new and old OP

    I agree. If you look closely, you can see the windows of his core robot mode but they should be covered up.

    I have somes issues with my copy but its nowhere near as bad as yours. Mine has some tabbing issues on the right arm (when transforming him into truck mode) and the clearances for the backpack section isn't perfect to fold over the body, so it results in slight misalignments.Though considering the really horrible QC I've been getting lately, this is pretty much nothing. Everything still feels solid, it's just that he doesn't roll perfectly because of these issues.

    I'd ask around but I think he's definitely worth a second shot. He's an imposing piece for sure and a great figure to mess around with IMO :)

    word of advice, when transforming Ultra Magnus into truck mode, make sure the truck cab is pushed as far forward as it can go, otherwise the combination of the truck and trailer will look off.

    The tabs on the arms are the biggest tell
