    from the photo found from the link in the review thread and the stock photography Skywarp has the decepticon logo on his wings, seems the one who is missing the insigina is Thundercracker and that seems fitting for him to be missing the insiginias

    Debating buying Return Titan Trypticon / Fortress Max & Metroplex, but worried that they will release them for Siege :/

    I have LER Severo (Grimlock). The sword/gun grips are angular, not round, and don't fit in the 5mm round ports as they're slightly too big. Severo has hands which open rather than round ports. Here he is with a old rival: 20190817_090339.jpg

    I would be really surprised if Hasbro re-releases any of their previously released City-Bots any time soon, but I guess it could happen. I recently bought Trypticon for $70 and he is probably the coolest of the Hasbro City-Bots in my opinion. My only complaint about him is that I wish he was a little bigger and to match up with Metroplex a little better. My copy had loose hip ratchets that I had to fix by putting spacers under the ratchet springs to add a bit more tension.

    Awesome! Thanks for the photo and answers!

    Owning him and seeing what Hasbro is doing with Siege, would you recommend picking him and maybe the other LER Dinobots up to go with Siege or would you wait to see if Hasbro does Dinobots for Siege or whatever comes during the rest of the trilogy?

    Severo and some of the other LER Dinobots are on sale at TFSource right now and I'm trying to decide whether or not to jump on them. The $70 Severo costs would almost pay for Jetfire...

    Tough question :D  I went for Severo partly because of the size, which is between (CHUG-era) Voyager and Leader. Siege Dinobots will probably be better toys (this guy is a little hard to pose in a cool and interesting fashion) but presumably smaller.

    I have to say he doesn't move me in quite the same way some other 3P toys have. Looked better in photos than he feels in-hand. Don't pay full price :)

    That’s interesting. My impression is that most if not all had overly tight hip ratchets. I took mine apart to compress the springs as soon as I got it.

    You don't make sense. Hb ain't gonna release a new mold of them just for Siege.

    Yeah, I was all prepared to mod the springs or something to loosen up the ratchets and then when I got my copy he wouldn't even hold certain poses due to the looseness of the ratchets.
