    Just a shame the wheels are still visible in helicopter mode.

    no, im saying that guy is using the wrong wording/looking at it from the wrong perspective. he is solidly a deluxe figure, however he has hollow spaces because the plastic budget for a deluxe necessitates a larger deluxe having those hollow spaces, just like how ironhide has hollow spaces in his back and lacks waist articulation. the size at the price point necessitates the sacrafice.

    He's invisible. Obviously. :p 

    Went ahead and pre-ordered Springer, Thundercracker, and Optimus off Amazon. Those are my big wants, so I don't even have to hunt now.

    Is that Soundblaster from Siege Soundwave, Bluestreak from Prowl (with shoulder launchers) and a G1 / earth mode retool of Siege Optimus and Megs?

    Hmmm. It would appear that the faction insignia has disappeared altogether from Impactor. I've been nervously checking it in fear of it being a case of Rodimus Unicronus.

    That's not a problem of wording, that's a problem of perspective. Two completely different things. You can easily articulate the point that Impactor is a big deluxe like Ironhide without insisting he's really a voyager.

    I mean, I'd be interested in why you think it's better than T30's car mode, which actually looked like a car?

    Even better when properly transformed to have both rear fins out and a turret 'o DOOM up top!

    Personally I prefer the T30 heli mode. It retains the goofy "car as a helicopter" look without looking stupid and overall goofy like G1.

    Yes, Ironhide and Impactor are both Deluxes. they are the result of a unified scale for Siege. All figures produced are roughly 1:36 of their canon sizes from the Sunbow cartoon. =)

    Er, that's also questionable considering the visible wheels.

    It seems so but we still can’t get info on it. They are on display but nobody has gone back to get a closer look

    Isn't the main point of Toy Fair to drum up retailer interest? If so, it could be argued that showing exclusives might do the opposite.

    After watching TFU.info's Livestream for what ever reason after the panel Hasbro took down the 35th anniversary display with siege Bluestreak, SoundBlaster, and the Cell shaded versions of Prime and Megatron. They also took down the g1 resissues in the display as well. they replaced the display with MPM-8 and MPM-9.

    I believe Siege ends after Wave 4. If I’m wrong, somebody feel free to correct me ;)

    Already replied to someone else about this, so I'll just quote myself.
