How's the fit on this? Any looseness?

 

Technically no. Hasbro has been mute on other cassette bots. However, logic states that since Hasbro loves money and Rumble, Ratbat, and their friends would almost undoubtedly make money, then it's a good bet they are in the pipeline.

 

Wouldn't it be just plain dumb not to make Rumble, Frenzy, Garboil, Buzsaw? These are repaints that people will gladly buy

 

I could see them packing frenzy and rumble in the same pack just to drive that war further into hell. Lmao.

 

Yeah this was kinda my thought process. It'd be kinda strange to make a soundwave and NOT have his other minions. I was just wondering if they confirmed them or not...

Thanks though for the responses guys!  

 

Got Soundwave and in robot mode alone it shines and raises the bar for SIEGE figures. It's been a while since we had a voyager like this. I have Prime and Megatron from wave 1. I was blown away by Prime. I'm wowed by Soundwave.

The land speeder death bar of soap mode is growing on me due to its solidity moreso than the look. It'll be more fun once I get the tapes so it can be like a dropship.

Kind of addicting to open and close the tape deck door in both modes. This is one damn impressive toy.

 

Just a bit if I recall correctly.

 

Skywarp’s two pack looks to have two Micromasters.

I could see them going with Buzzsaw and Howlback, one of R&F if the design exists, or R&F.

I could be wrong but I think cassettes are likely there to help spike demand as, outside of the hardcore fans, three seekers in a year is a bit much. Also, Hasbro seems eager to frontload the ‘84 lineup which, to me, says Buzzsaw is a likely choice as are Rumble and/or Frenzy.

Throwing, say, Rumble and Buzzsaw in strikes me as the likeliest choice because R&F are same-y to package together and then HasTak can package Frenzy and Howlback together, likely gangmolded in the same blue as a cheaper standalone.

Pure speculation but G2 Sideswipe and Skywarp’s packs retail for $50-55 each.

Sideswipes has two deluxes ($20x2 = $40) and a Battlemaster ($6).

So Skywarp’s pack is likely Skywarp ($30), Battlemaster ($6) and Micromaster 2 pack ($10). ($46 value at $50-55 as an exclusivity price hike.)

I mean, it could just as easily be the MM Air Assault team in blue or something with Skywarp but the 84 lineup is otherwise so frontloaded (including using a Walgreens exclusive slot and 85 Smokescreen in Selects) that I really lean towards it being two cassettes as that would fit the pattern.

 

It works much better as a shield. =)

 

Stand-off!

 

Isnt it a pain putting the pin back in for transformation?

 

I think he has replaced the original roof permanently with an add-on roof on his Shapeways shop

 

You don’t have to pull the pin. There’s a spot where the mushroom peg will detach.


Edit. I think I missed something. Like the extra parts.

 

I've replaced it in alt mode with a different piece entirely, so the original roof panel doesn't go back on at all.

 

True, and I figure cannons as flamethrowers,red helps.

 

It really annoys me that Jazz was part of PoTP, with all its QC issues. If he'd just been made a little differently, as a Siege figure, I wouldn't have had to sell him. Maybe we'll get a better Jazz figure next year?

 

Siege Chromia looks really nice with her sisters.
