    I can confirm. I've been maintaining my collection since Armada.

    Okay while I love starscream, I gotta give props to this guy. Siege soundwave is definitely my favorite out of the siege guys I own, and I couldn't be happier with him! He feels so awesome in hand, and is a joy to pose and play around with! Still not big on that official altmode, but I'm liking the fanmode boombox mode that people have come up with. Transforming him into that mode is a blast as well, and I love the cassette cons' integration with him! I could gush all day about this guy, but I think you get the point already! :lol

    Love the side by side shots. I'm still (STILL) waiting for Chromia to make it over to the UK e-tailers thanks to the Hasbro UK distribution nightmare, so I've been really curious to see how WfC Chromia would look next to T:30 Chromia. 'Damn fine' would be the answer. Looks like a much better proportioned 'bot. Loving the rifle too!

    It's the 'Waves. These two look magnificent together.

    thanks to you and Snarl for the replies. I sent my wife some choices and then we will make some purchases. I’m guessing it’ll be the Micros since they remind my wife of the transformers that her mom used to keep around for the kids to play with while waiting at restaurants. Also my daughter likes car toys and planes! Meant to say keep in her purse so sorry for any confusion! Long day!

    More Soundwave. One of his finer moments, imo.

    How well does your copy of Tin Foil Turkey stay secure to the forearm? I had to use the 5mm post.

    I'm gonna eat my share of crow. I just got Galaxy Prime even though I didn't like it at first, saw that amazon had it in stock so I checked some reviews and bought it. I have to say it's more its more impressive than I thought it would be and convinced me to get Ultra Magnus eventually. I took some quick pictures while I was messing around with the figure and I'm really happy with the purchase. Right now I have Voyager OP, Starscream, and Soundwave, I still need to get Shockwave and Megs, apart from Magnus I'm undecided on the other autobots.

    Few more photos I thought I'd share.

    Cant decide which I like more out of these 2. Both amazing figures.

    Hope you guys like these. So glad I discovered this site to share these amazing figures.

    They may not be the best part of the Siege line, but the Micromasters are still a nice addition. They may not be up to the standards of the previous Legends class, but they’re still fun and deserve a little time in the spotlight. And these two actually have decent alt modes.
    FBF18B99-3DD0-492E-BFB2-966C8B82907C.jpeg
    Actually quite colorful for little guys, Stakeout and Red Heat are decent remold/retools of Roadhandler and Topshot respectively. Stakeout is a really cool little police car. I love they actually painted his light bar both red and blue. The black Autobot symbol on the hood really stands out. Red Heat I think might be a better use of the mold than Topshot.....maybe. Or maybe it’s just his colors, a really nice shade of red with the white fire ladder is a nice look.

    Stakeout feels chunkier and more solid than Roadhandler, which I like. I really like the color scheme on Red Heat. They both have very nice headsculpts.

    I think Stakeout is my favorite of the two, but Red Heat still has him beat by having a play feature in alt mode.

    Poseability about as good as the rest of the Siege Micromasters. Still better than any of the G1 Micromasters.
    7BB1F349-D49C-4E76-9E15-766F7E31573B.jpeg
    The Micromasters I think are cool little sub-teams in this line. The only thing I wish is that we would’ve gotten the full 4-bot patrols like in G1. It would’ve been really nice to get a Nightflight and Tailwind, Sidetrack and Sunrunner, Tailspin and Free Wheeler, Seawatch and Fixit, and a Mudslinger and Tote to go with the upcoming Powertrain and Highjump. I’m just kinda hoping that by naming them it might ‘will’ them into existence. I still like what we got.

    Make sure you have someone carry them around like ragdolls. I currently have Shockwave holding Stakeout up like a bully.

    It doesn't. One of my only complaints about the guy. In that pic, he was only resting right above the tabs. I got it to tab once, but after that I couldn't get him to do it again... Most of the time I have to use the 5mm port as well (which is awesome how they included that!)

    I still love him to bits though! Feels like they simplified the mp in a good way :)

    I love how most of the posts praising Soundwave as a great figure exclusively use his fan mode.
