    you could a lot with these.

    and they actually look good. i'd really like to know where to my grubby mitts on these guys. especially if they're good sized.

    it's nice to have some good options. especially since TVM is dragging their asses on the rest of the osko iron factory seekers.

    I’m going all in on the siege seekers, but these would serve as good rank and file generics

    They do look tempting, though I'm still concerned that they might not have knees. I'm assuming these are voyager-sized like the originals?

    - They seem to have knees, yes, legs are Generations." And they seem to be voyagers.

    The Left overs might be a good starting point for a flameblast Grimlock custom.


    I wonder why that box image says 35cm either that is a new ludicrously huge blown up one or someone made a mistake on the box dimensions.
    I'd not complain if he was huge it would just be a surprise - as I remembered the previous ones.

    Bumblebee needs 2 of these for the sequel.

    And on a side note the AR Super Soaker I needed 35 years ago.

    I'm not seeing any confirmation of knees (besides the box-art, but that might be a lie). What do you mean about the legs being Generations?

    Yeah, that can't be right. lol!

    I'm seeing knees bro.

    The shadows behind the kneecaps/kneeguards. Also, if that was all one piece, that molding would be a nightmare, and pointless instead of the kneeguards just molded against the rest of the leg.

    Like I said, the box-art really confirms nothing. It could easily be a lie.

    Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. It doesn't look like there are any moving joints there.

    I mean, it would be nice. But I want to see confirmation before I try to track some of these down.

    The pic you zoomed in on clearly has more of a bend at the knee than the pic I showed. My pic shows the kneeguard and thigh close enough to put only paper between, while your pic you could almost put your finger between them... so there's movement, yeah?

    This is the leg of the cyber battalion starscream - one piece molded leg, no knees.

    Screenshot_2019-04-21-22-15-19.png

    This is not the leg they are using, so is there other current starscreams that had no knee joints?

    Ah heck - @SirToys do these have knees joints?

    English packaging. My guess is they're just samples shown at a toy fair. May or may not ever be mass produced.

    Can anyone with machineboy/Warbotron brawl and any cw deluxe post photos comparing them. Preferably in limb, robot and alt mode.

    If it’s the right size I’m thinking of using him as a limb for my Bruticus
