    TR Apeface\'s head is much better than Siege Apeface\'s head.

    This creamy white Hasbro seems to love using is absolutely terrible and is never accurate to any character they use it on. Generations Prowl, Drift, Jazz, CW Wheeljack, Siege Sidewswipe are just some of the examples of the awful tint they keep throwing into plastic that should be pure white and Apeface here should be greyish white, and gets fucked too. If you like plastic that looks old and left out in the sun, that's your preference but not accurate.

    Colors matter.

    I'm more concerned about the cr@ppy silver paint all over the legs and nosecone. I'll have to get my paints out and fix it.

    Anyway, the Ape head seems to be on the back, with the robot face being on the legs. Isn't that similar to the original?

    Really surprised at the fake cockpit for Apeface being a fake one in the back. When there was pics released about a month ago where it showed the back of the robot mode and front nosecone folded up, you could see a lot of hollowness. I thought for sure it was going to be like TR Megatron where like the whole nosecone lifted up for acess to the cockpit. Not a deal breaker for me, but I think it could had been that way if they wanted too.

    Yep, y’all look like you’re right about ApeFace not having waist articulation....just like TR Voyagers Hmmmmm.

    It would have been cool if ApeFace was released during TR. Totally makes sense. Let’s be real. As much as I am excited to get this in the mailbox, based on all the images we have seen, ApeFace does not have the intense quality of most Siege figures. Ape will not size up to the solidness of all the modes in the same way Siege Springer is. But like Springer, ApeFace does not suffer from the issue where modes suffered due to the transformation.

    Here’s a question for y’all, and this is why it would have been awesome to have ApeFace in TR instead of Siege. In TR there was these designs that were clearly “Pre-Molds”. I wonder if Apfaces premold would have been Optimal Optimous? That would have been awesome!

    The webpage has a typo. "Nautilor" should be "Nautilator". Could a mod come and fix that?

    Seems as Apeface has a bit bright colors in his chest, would wish that paint was on his arms also

    I’m still getting Apeface but I’ll be breaking out some grey or metallic paints to fix that white torso. That just makes him look like he’s made of marshmallow fluff.

    Damnit - why does Apeface seem so cheap-looking suddenly?

    If you're looking to buy Apeface, he won't be cheap, hell, I've seen Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime sell for $25.00 at my local Walmart, Leader Class figues are supposed to be expensive, and now they're demoted to being just a measly $25.00, didn't they used to be more than that!?

    This is my first thought when seeing that photo. He is supposed to be light gray semi gloss. And I’m not feeling the battle damage. It was Springer brushed style I’d be more approving.

    Yeah, it looks incomplete.....missing a paint job. I keep saying the more pictures I see of this figure the worse Apeface looks.

    It was to the point where the only thing I liked about him was the bot mode and now that looks disappointing. So the last Siege figures I'm definitely buying in December now are Spinister, Ratbat and maybe that Battle Patrol Con Set that connects in vehicle mode.

    I still think he was originally a TR figure that they heald back for whatever reason until now. I would've given the light gray/off white pictures of him a pass. But that cheap white they're showing us now is a dealbreaker. Thus making it the only Seige Voyager that I'll be skipping at retail.

    No way I’m not buying Apeface, but I’m expecting to paint him. Maybe that magazine just has an early sample

    The things that most people complain about with Apeface seem like no brainers for HasTak. If nothing else, the Headmaster should be able to ride in the cockpit. It does make you scratch your head on where they decide to cut corners with certain figures. That said, I am going to buy him anyway and if the white comes out in that milky pearlescent color, I will be fully painting it.

    Come to think of it though.... I think Skullcruncher had to change his pilot location too, right? Doesn’t fit in the mouth like the original?

    Still going to get him. I just wish they would chill on the silver battle damage. Those legs are border line ridiculous.
