Omega looks SUPREME!! 

Granted, the transformation seems simplistic & the head/face-sculpt is worrisome, but otherwise it's great! I do wonder if, like Trypticon, there'll be no electronics. I, for one, enjoy motorized components, LED lights, sound-effects, & G1 voice-clips, and I wish this big guy had SOMETHING. At least his eyes & cannon should glow, better still if the tank could roll, but that's highly doubtful.

 

Love these Siege figures.
I just have to make room for them.
Off to the Junkion Sales thread I go.

 

Hmmm. Omega Supreme looks pretty good, but at 2 feet he’s going’s to be out of scale with the Titan combiners. That’s disappointing. I would have expected him to be in the 18”-19” range. At that height he’s the same size as Metroplex or Fortress Maximus. Was he ever that size in the comics?

Jetfire looks pretty good though. May have to replace my Thrilling 30 leader class one. The others look like a pass....

 

Good call. I coincidentally had just settled on calling him Stormfire, in keeping with the naming scheme. I had forgotten about Storm Jet too. I have him in storage. Need to remember to put him with my other Jetfire homages when I finally have the room to display all of my collection.

 

There’s wiggle room for his size, the article says he’s 2’ SCALE, not that he is explicitly 2’

Storm jet was my introduction to jetfire since I’m a beast wars kid haha

 

I’d say he’s going to be around 24 inches if it says “two foot scale.” Otherwise, why would they even say that? The other Titan class figures have been pretty forthcoming about the size before we got them except maybe Trypticon (can’t quite remember) but even for him I do recall us knowing he wasn’t going to be 24 inches like Metroplex and Fort Max. Sooo, if they say 2 feet shama-lama-ding-dong words and things, I’d say it’s gonna be pretty close.

Ask my wife, I’m never wrong. Wink-wink!

 

2 foot scale could mean he’s scaled to the 2 foot titans, it could mean he’s 2 foot to the top of the tracks, there’s a lot of variation it could be

 

Agreed, it's pretty stupid and makes us all look bad.

 

Its even dumber to lament it.

I get it tho: ya hate for your community to look dumb when people lament the name Hasbro gave a toy in a forum where grown adults discuss the purchase and collecting of toys for themselves that are meant for kids.

 

T

That might be 2 feet, including the wings. Take them off and they might be matched pretty evenly.

 

Here is the upcoming list of the siege figures:
Omega Supreme-Titan Class
Jetfire(Skyfire)-Commander Class
Optimus Prime-Leader Class
Thundercracker-Voyager
Skywarp-Voyager
Springer-Voyager Class
Mirage-Deluxe Class
Impactor-Deluxe Class
Barricade-Deluxe Class
Transport Drone-Deluxe Class
Micromaster(Will Transform into a hammer)
 

 

Only interested in Omega Supreme from these. Showed the wife the pix. She agrees he looks cool, but says "Omega Supreme sounds like a specialty hamburger, with extra cheese and onions"...

 

Ultra Magnus has an alt mode from another continuity, but that's beside the point really. The only reason is personal preference, really. I've always found shooting his arms into space and then the rest appearing wherever he was sort of dumb, as well as said arms being effectively the only part of him in alt mode that is mobile. The Ark is simply a better alt mode, in my opinion. Then, I have been desiring for a while a bot to serve as the Autobot means of interspace travel. Really, I would have taken even simply a combined ship mode that looked nothing like the Ark but the Ark would have been preferable due to the homage and it being more cohesive than a random space ship.

 

i have the dx9 gab got it before any news of the wfc OS got the dx9 to go with my “classics” what the thoughts on one vs the other pros? cons? anyone

 

Ehh, still just 2 out of the 5 Titans - so far. Costco got them at a promotional rate ($80) for their members, and had a sale, shortly after it was released - it's not like they were clearance out a year later like FM and Trypticon were.
I won't be surprised if Predaking will follow suit this year sometime, making it 3 out of the 5 however.

 

You’ve missed a few, greenlight, barricade, red alert, brunt at a minimum

Predaking is already priced at $70 from several online retailers

 

Agree. Maybe 2’ total but about 20” tall. Don't think it’s gonna dethrone FM.

Also Jetfire is another instance that with Siege, Hasbro is more open now to creating cartoon based looks in chug instead of their original toys... Entering Takara’s preferred domain a bit?  

 

Really? I've seen Tryp for that cheap, but not Predaking.
I remember Amazon had him down to around 90-ish during the run-up to Christmas, but those prices are gone. Seems he's back to $160ish at the usual online retailers.
Any idea where you saw him for that cheap?

 

Well since TT is just selling Hasbro stuff now instead of tweaking the designs for the Japanese market.

 

The fact that they have an actual Countdown figure from Micromasters to complement this set is phenomenal and at the same time technically foreseeable. A great comeback for prominent G1 Micromasters characters
