    Here, his legs are being used as a towed howitzer by Hound.

    I can't wait for Rachet becomes available online or my local Walgreens to start carrying him.

    It's set on Cybertron, just buy more seekers!
    Also, the Burt makes an excellent Decepticon drone shock trooper.
    And you can even buy more Reflectors, if you're into the whole theory that he just keeps cloning himself rather than being one guy with 3 bodies.

    Wow.... There's no excuse for Hasbro not given lines more Voyager class figures moving forward. And that regardless if they're retools or not. I don't think I've skipped a single Voyager class figure in the main Siege line (whereas last year I only bought 2). My Skywarp should land home within the next hour which leaves Soundblaster from the 35th subgroup of Siege and Apeface in Dec. They only 3 I didn't need was that Combat Megatron, or the 35th anniversary Megs and OP.

    That still leaves 13 figures that I've paid $30.00 or more for this year. Most of which are retooled Decepticons. I'm almost certain that the Voyager class Coneheads will be part of next years line up but Hasbro shouldn't be reluctant about making more Voyagers of proper scale as long as their quality is just as good as these are.

    "I am... the Road Police" (goooong)
    "Are you magical?"
    "Mmmm... kind of. I'm not as magical as much as I am... the Road Police" (goooong)
    "Which is?"
    "I police... the road."
    "Mm. I guess anybody could be one of those."

    Good job! I'm ordering the toyhax stickers for him. He's so big and so much white. Need some details to flush it out.

    Not if you prefer the cartoon look. I'd be afraid to even ink wash him until I see pics of someone else already having done so.
    Anyone...? Bueller...? Bueller...?

    If it's worth it then I won't complain.

    I only bought a fraction of the POTP's line which as result didn't cost me more than $350.00 last year. So I wont complain about spending less either.

    just got this in today and i really like the set. 20190819_151821.jpg 20190819_151239.jpg

    got it mostly for G2 sideswipe and boy does he not disappoint....

    20190819_151517.jpg

    his car mode looks so damn good.

    20190819_151303.jpg

    i think i lucked out with slamdance. no stress marks or breakage in his ankles. not bad for a bot that's pretty much just a bonus for me.

    btw wondering if i missed this....did we ever untangle the mystery around the "clone" thing with G2 swipe?

    Aaaaannnd....ordered X7. Sure as heck beets the 7.99 a pop I was paying at the local hobby shop. Even if they were bigger.

    Lol....I started the year with a plan and a budget of $1300.......Now I'm on track to drop $2100 . I've managed to save about $230 of that with sales and promotions, but they keep announcing more stuff!

    Siege is awesome, but its also exhausting!

    They’re not bad stands over all, a little wobbly maybe, but nothing has fallen

    Just got the Skywarp pack from Amazon.
    Admittedly, I do wish he was black and purple instead of charcoal. The color is striking, but I always loved the original colors.
