    No more bios, stats or collector cards, which I am very sad about, this is the closet we get, better than nothing I suppose, hopefully Cards return, that Siege art is worth keeping 20181107_133232-1.jpg

    I know we are speculating here but so in 250 days we will see a tease of part 2 of WFC? SDCC is July 17 if I'm not mistaken

    Idk if there will be a last wave because we're probably going straight to part 2 after Siege I think.

    Which is what I was thinking. I've been watching multiple interviews with John Warden to see if I can find hints on future ideas. Wheeljack for example, they did mention the first episode, and basically Wheeljack, Bumblebee and Jazz were the only cybertronian vehicles in that episode. Plus, since he didn't win the poll and John said they want to release as many of the original characters as possible, would you imagine a whole original Autobot team without Wheeljack? Plus, hints about Omega Supreme. Because they mentioned they want to put in a titan class that would fit in the story.

    I can't even imagine an Autobot team without Jazz or Bumblebee. It's just not right for some reason.

    My thoughts exactly. I think the only character I can live without from the original cast is Bluestreak. But I definitely want Wheeljack and Jazz.

    Welp, Cracked open my very first Siege toy. Voyager Megatron. I think this is the best representation of a CHUG Megatron. I love the Tank and I think the robot mode is a very accurate sculpt. I would have still preferred it were bigger than Optimus, but hey what are you going to do? At first I wasn't too fond of these Cybertronian formed Transformers. But now I'm thinking about an origin story with these. I look forward to collecting all the War for Cybertron toys and I look forward to seeing what they have in the future, and especially...

    The design team really knew what they were doing with this line.

    have you guys heard the news that supposedly(not yet double confirmed) the third and FINAL leader class figure of Siege will be an Optimus Prime?
    If so, which version of OP could it be? most people go straight to PMOP but I feel that we've been there don that time and time again especially if you count 3P. The theme for leaders remains the same throughout WFC with the armor \ power up \ super mode etc so I wonder if a Galaxy Convoy homage is possible? Maybe something 100% unexpected? Star Convoy homage?

    I'm hoping for a sort of Galaxy Convoy + Star Convoy hybrid design. Maybe a vehicle mode that references Galaxy Convoy and a robot mode that takes more cues from Star Convoy?

    We’ve known it’s Optimus Prime for months. We have it’s listing.

    It’s funny that you bring up Galaxy Force Convoy too, because thats who it’s been speculated to be since we first knew about it because of the guns Magnus has on his legs having similar molding.

    why have I not yet seen megatron in a marauder megatron configuration yet?
    nobody has pegged his 2nd cannon onto his left arm on camera yet.

    I sure hope the listed Springer is big. If Magnus becomes Cybertron Optimus, someone has to be Megatron, and a helicopter is plane enough.

    Rejoice?

    I wasn't considering replacing my CHUG Red Alert but seeing the two Sideswipes I'm not so sure anymore. I heard the line was downsized but I wasn't expecting the Siege figure to be a full two heads shorter than his Classics incarnation.

    I think you may be asking for too much my friend, you shouldn’t expect them to be Universe 2.0 size especially with all the added details, articulation, paint, etc.
