    Excited for this springer even though i love the generstions one. They are nailing the head sculpts in this line imo.

    This is a more g1 version. Bring it

    Reflector is all kinds of awesome (I even like him rolled up into a cube).

    Brunt seems to be shaping up as the best of three armor bots (that alternate/fan mode looks like something from Beast Machines).

    Springer looks great, though I am not sure about that green though, it’s a bit too ‘toyish’ for my preferences for Springer. But I’ll make judgement once I have him in hand and paired up with the rest.

    Thundercracker and Red are remolds of excellent figures. Bot modes look great, but I think they're less effective in altmode than SS and SS. Not sure I need them (though the prospect of having 3 tetrajets lined up together on stands is enticing).

    Hmm.... I was reluctant on buying that Firestormer Pack since I care little for G2 figures. But I just might end up swapping the heads of Red Alert and G2 Sideswipe just like my plans for Starscream and the upcoming Thundercracker.

    IMO, this face just looks better on Red Alert:

    Meanwhile Slamdance could be part of my "Moonbase 2" faction with Blaster as commander if they ever make a new Voyager class version (I really don't like the FOC one anymore).

    I think, like with Thundercracker you need to see them with other figures. Just to see how they mash. Particular for Springer is Arcee and your Ultra Magnus. If they work it is good.

    thundercracker looks so nice with Starscream.

    I did the face swap with Starscream. They both look so much better.

    Siege springer probably scales significantly better with the t30 arcee, the weijiang one is more or less masterpiece scale isn’t it?

    Yeah, WJ OSKO Arcee is pretty big. I can’t get to my copy right now, but here’s some side by side screen shots, courtesy of Emgo:

    It’s not as good as a real life pic, but in this case I think Generations Arcee does a decent job of providing scale for reference.

    Hope that helps!
