    I look forward to the possibility of Omnibots, but they better give them their “attack modes” like Tracks has. That’s kinda their thing.

    Am I the only one beginning to see this line as a Masterpiece killer?

    Nah , there will always be a market for expensive detailed, "large" Transformers, but honestly this is just one of the accessible and accurate toylines, I'd given up on MPs

    If you already gave up, then chances are you didn't have the money at all to get a Masterpiece figure, I mean, I once saw a Masterpiece Skywarp figure at my local Walmart several years ago, it was $22.00 at the time, but I never got it, because my dad at the time did not allow it, I'm still mad at him for that, always have been, and always will be if he keeps saying no, I do listen to him because I'm older than I was back then, probably because I have to watch my budget, anyway, that Skywarp figure was probably a Walmart exclusive at the time, makes me wish I bought Skywarp.

    I could buy any masterpiece toy right now and never notice the expense. The cost, or lack of money, isn't why I don't buy masterpiece.

    Siege though... Siege I've been buying. Damn you Starscream.

    Is there some detail I missed? I've not seen anything to suggest that Cliffjumper will be any smaller than any of the other deluxe Autobots already produced. I'll be happier if he is (he'll just look wrong being the same height as Prowl), but as I said, I've seen nothing about it yet.

    Same, but for a different reason, I got sideswipe, Firedrive, Stakeout and Red Heat, those are the only Siege toys I have, do you have those figures?

    Seems obvious yes, but I don't like to assume. Guess I was more asking if there were any whispers at the panel or by one of the Hasbro reps.

    Sadly I don’t think Cliffjumper’s gonna scale well with the legends mini-bots. Guess it’s time to buy Brawn, Saspray, Warpath, etc all over again.:(

    Same I would love to see them get the accurate G1 alt-modes the Earthrise figures have!

    That sucks, because we were ALMOST DONE with the legends minibots... they even had a redo of tailgate and windcharger.. Hubcap never got an update and many people weren’t satisfied with Cliff, Warpath, Huffer, and Gears... I’d have loved twin packs at the deluxe price point, even..

    Since Siege, they've been following the Studio Series cue of having more variable character heights within price points. Cliffjumper will be short, just as Classics Bumblebee was in his day.

    I have to respectfully disagree with this take. My issue is that for the price, while MPs look fine, they aren't fun. I just honestly find more concentrated fun per square inch in the Seige lads then I do with MPs. It's not about a gatekeeping price, it's just something I enjoy more.

    I'm pretty sure he's a shorter, with a big weapon to compensate in order to keep him at a smaller size.

    Good thing I have iGear Brawn, Beachcomber, Henkei Bumblebee, Bee customs into Hubcap and Bumper and that KO oversized Powerglide.

    Have you NOT seen the Deluxe Warpath from Generations? It's pretty much perfect unless you're averse to H tanks. I didn't even TOUCH CW Pathy specifically because of the Deluxe mold.

    That is absolutely my Warpath. Understanding goes to those that want one that's more traditional, but I love that toy. Only downside (for me) is no waist swivel. But I'll be hard-pressed to replace him.

    Sales threads on this very site. OR you'll have one hell of a time collecting ANYTHING that isn't new at retail.
