WOW! This looks very good!  Looks pretty much the same, the Cybertron theme is amazing here

 

oh you are NOT PLAYING FAIR Hasbro.





stack the line with boring GeeWun redos & then suddenly throw a wild card in the deck by redoing my absolute favorite Optimus Prime figure?!?!?!







although he'll probably have the same terrible "Battle Damage" paintjob too so that tempers my excitement...

 

We've already seen Hotshot's head on Hounds body thanks to that artwork...so I wonder if there's any chance of other Cybertron Autobots in the future.

 

pretty sure that, at least as far as the comics go, the voyager prime is non canon

not every update needs to be an improvement over the original, sometimes its just nice to get something new

why would he be bigger than current siege leaders when he will be a retool of a current siege leader? that comment literally makes no sense

again, why would he be smaller than magnus when he is a magnus retool? your comment makes no sense

we get it, you dont like the price or size of official figures. not every thread needs someone whining about it though. dont like the size or price? dont let the door hit you on the way out

2004ish could hardly be considered modern as far as the toys go at this point, that was nearly half of my life ago

maketoys was going to do a mp scaled galaxy prime, someone else was doing a chug armada prime that a lot of people thought would be legends scale

 

It was gonna be MP size to go with their MP Cybertron Starscream.


Cybertron Megatron as well...such a shame.  

 

Very cool, will get. I wonder what leader Megatron might be based on

 

Another tank? That is usually what megs gets. If they do make a leader for him. The last leader megs is the CW leaderclass btw. Megatron mostly gets a voyager.

 

1/3 here!

I know, I couldn't believe it was 14/5ish years old this year! I tend to think of anything BW onwards as modern though!

 

There isn't one in Siege. 3 Leaders according to the very solid looking rumours which have been otherwise born out.

 

I like it but I detest they are making us pay double for a beefy voyager.... There is no reason for the prices we are paying no oil is the same as 10 years ago and been that way for the past 4 years.
Hate the battle damage paint especially over other paint applications, sorry but if I was Mark Maher I would see it as disrespectful.
The size also is another attempt to urge fans to rebuy figures to keep that in scale feeling, funny it's always to something smaller and nothing larger beyond the price.

I get why the hollow parts it's for QC and prevent entire batches from being remade due to warping and pitting, just look at a classics seeker and you will see all those issues especially on the KO versions being so obvious. Okay, they are trying to cover hollow limbs up which is okay thou some aspects they are not even trying like Magnus's weapons what a joke. But that leaves us with areas that are thin and prone to breakage.
Quality Control is a joke, from my personal experience around 1 in 8 is damaged heavily or modified at the factory, missing parts or horrendous factory side production issues. These are getting better but by no means, they are solved, in some cases just shifted to other areas.
Siege line is not the only Transformers line that has had the same issues and I am pretty sure all Hasbro items are receiving the same treatment. It requires the fans to protest and sadly that means not buying because words hold no weight when their sales are up. I am sorry to say hold off buying right away and wait for clearances. Leave reviews on places like Amazon and Walmart talking about the prices being too high.
Call me a hater all you want. When you're in the checkout line just think if they had only made this a few years sooner you could have gotten two for the price you're about to pay without wondering if you will need to return this one and wait months for another one to be on the shelf again.

 

only 3 leaders this time around

thats fair, i am a bit more restrictive and only consider from the start of classics as the beginning of modern

 

My childhood Optimus Prime...please god let this be real..

 

Saw this on Twitter:

 

ok that looks pretty cool

 

Oh my bad. I’m very tired.

I’m not sure what’s wrong.

There isn’t gonna be another leader in this line.

 

no worries, theres so many 3p its hard to keep track of em all

 

Oh jesus it's real! Yes! Give it to me NAOWW!!

 

looking at this again, something looks off. like the shoulders are too low/chest armor isnt plugged in all the way

 

Imagine if this got a nemesis prime repaint
