    Who?

    I know I'm just sick of all fembots looking the same i really want a few new fembot molds that don't get reused every sunday fembots are in a minority and i think they need to be treated like male bots lots of new molds and good figures all around sorry that may have been a little bit of a rant back to appreciating Siege

    This reminds me of the stickers on the original GI JOE Skystriker. So many stickers as a kid...and do we really need all those DO NOT STEP stickers on the wings? Of course we all ignored those and had fights on the wings...right?

    Of course.

    Also the “do not step” stickers are accurate to real world military airplanes. That’s why on some wings it’s like there’s 5 different stickers all saying the same thing for each individual panel.

    Ok,

    I really want a Nightbird, but I wish they would have gone around the same plan as TR ARCEE vs. this mold. I love the head sculpt, but I hate the backpack, shin packs, etc. on Chromia...

    Just finished my custom Skywarp. I absolutely hated Hasbro's Graywarp.

    Seeing that I even more wish I'd skipped Siege Chromia but then I didn't know this version was coming... oh well, I can headcanon Siege Chromia as a separate character :D 
    I think I will get Nightbird though, she looks pretty cool and a nice use of the mold. Though I too hope for more variety of female molds as well. I worked it out one time and in the Prime Wars Trilogy we technically only got 1 entirely new female mold: Moonracer.
    Elita 1, The Rust Renegades/Victorion and even TR Windblade are all retools, though Windblade and Elita 1 are more extensive than some. Solus Prime and Scorchfire were just Titan/Primemasters and thus retools of the basic ___master mold.

    It's crazy :-/

    P.S. I didn't include redecos of molds from other lines released under the Prime Wars Trilogy banner or the Takara counterpart.

    When Siege started showing up late last year I thought Hasbro was going to very slowly release the original Seekers and we'd only get two this year. And here we are now, seven deep!

    I actually prefer the charcoal color, but yeah, the black in tetrajet mode does look good in a group.

    Why do you guys prefer the charcoal color? That just isn't Skywarp's color. This is really confusing to me. Everybody should be pissed that Hasbro botched up his colors. It may look cool as a different character but it just isn't Skywarp. It's more like Skywarp's brother or cousin.

    I don't understand why they would do that & if everybody likes it I pray to God it doesn't become a regular thing.

    While I totally agree, that mold is getting as overused as the TR Blurr mold, I do quite like how inventive they've been with Tentakill. But yeah, let's hope that's the last time we see it.

    I'm having a real fun party with these blast effects! I'm still resisting the urge to get other Battlemasters. I really do think I'[ve got what I need now.

    I think it fits well with Siege. Skywarp looks like he’s been in a lot of messy battles with the charcoal color.

    Tr blurr was only used for 4 characters, unless you count chromedome and breakaway having the same knees and gun as a remold. The chromia/moonracer engineering would be more comparable to the sudden over abundance of seekers wouldn’t it?

    I'm happy with whichever comparison works for people. I guess if it feels overused, then it's overused. And the Blurr mold certainly felt that way for me.

    I dunno, I've notice a decline, but I don't think it's as bad as it sounds.

    I buy Reprolabels for all my non-MP figures since they started.

    I've had peeling on:

    FP Wildrider (whatever he was called) on the red hood stickers
    labels that like go around the nozzle of a gun or similar shape
    labels where a small amount goes over a corner.

    For example, the chest window stickers on Magnus will be fine, but the red/black stickers on top of Roadhandler might start peeling since they are small.

    Of course, your mileage will vary, but I personally wouldn't worry about the peeling.

    But back to Siege!
