    yea i think on average season 3 guys ran a tad bit bigger than others in animaiton, though that frame has kup as too big. i believe that is rodimus prime (springers ugly face says its s3 and not the movie)

    Oh yeah, I guess they do don't they. I even own those and the Papa Toys OSKO, haha. The PE does it slightly differently (shoulder flips down to the midsection and really only the forearm ends up inside the leg), but yeah the overall concept is the same.

    I own both too. I put the PE set with my Iron Factory/mechfanstoys collection(still cant believe I paid $100 for those guys when they came out now). Not sure what to do with the PP-toys ones. Maybe just box them up and sell them someday. I like them but theres too many accessories and 3rd party figures for me are just place holders till an official is made. Does it sting when I’ve spent $100 on a 3rd party and an official is made for more than a 3rd the cost? A little but I don’t even buy 3rd parties anymore. I’m fine just waiting and if someone I’m waiting for doesn’t happen no big deal

    Total agreement.

    I only have two Refraktors, and decided to keep them in 2/3 camera mode until I get a third, either from retail or my BBTS pre-order.
    Either way, I see these as the absolute perfect Reflector team.

    (BTW- my "stand in" was the Minicon that came with Shrapnel)

    The figure looks great in robot mode but trying to transform him especially from tank mode back to robot every part seems stubborn and hard to untab might be one of the most annoying counter intuitive transformations I've had since some of the rotf and dotm figures

    I personally enjoy unwinding the legs and clicking the chest together with the shoulder panels. That soft click makes me smile every time.
    I also really enjoyed the RotF/HftD molds, so there's that.

    Anyone else reading the current IDW comics? Had to add everyone's favourite handsome devil Quake into the mix!

    His G1 tech spec says he has a “massive physique” so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Plus he’s really cool :)

    Went to Fantasy Games comic shop in O'Fallon, IL today and was fortunate to find Wave 3 Deluxes in stock! Got a Refraktor (they also had Red Alert and Brunt in stock), plus Smashdown and Caliburst (they had one more of each of those). Still haven't seen Springer though.

    Appreciating does not mean free from criticism so despite my :bowdown:  on this line, there are some aspects that :lolol  bugging me.

    1. Design wise, I just looooooove all the mech details
    2. How come Prowl is so clean? What happened to the battle damage?
    3. Speaking of which, would it have not been better(cost cutting wise) to just add more paint apps on the bots like Optimus' cod piece etc etc over those silver blotches
    4. Chromia, Hb/TT doesn't love her enough? They gave her a new mold over the appendage type of Nova Star and Moonracer but still scrimped on her collar paint, shoulders(should have been white) and her white feet (the negatives of the Hb/TT unification business model). Even her pistol details were downgraded (her box showed her with a silver and red apps.)
    5. My eye sight might be failing me but of all current Siege figures I have, Chromia did get the short end of the stick when compared her box image and the actual toy)
    6. I suck at paint mods btw.:( 
    7. I looooooooooooove the line way much better than the previous Titans Return and Combiner Wars :) wtf: was that Starscream combiner for?) Just ranting.

    Completely agree with #7. Siege is one amazing line that honestly makes Titans Return and Combiner wars look like a joke.....

    I just can't stay angry with that pretty face! :D 

    Whilst I'm glad for the extra articulation and detail these guys have, Red Hot/Heat sacrifices a little to share a mold with Topshot. And I wish Stakeout was grey instead of black.
