"Soundwave! Get back to work and stop playing Tetris!"

 

Oh wow that’s great. The proportions remind me of WFC Omega Supreme (er, the other WFC Omega Supreme).

That Toyhax set looks cool. Overly busy? Yeah, but I think it’s a lotta fun decking out every little detail on Titan figures even if it is a bit of an eyesore.

 

Was tired of Jetfire's eyes being so dull, an too lazy to go buy a lighter blue paint. So I did something... unorthodox.

I feel this fits his Marvel origins better.

Can't wait to finish Siege, im so close to having everyone I want. I just need:
The "Not in the face!" 2-pack,
"What if God was one of us?",
"Insane in the spacetrain",
And "The sinister spinster."

 

I hear that. Not perfect what I've done here, but definitely scratches an itch.

 

City of Fear was a huge deal to me!
My parents brought that comic back for Me from a trip to Ireland right about the time it was published "Transformers and Action Force (GI Joe)"
It was my first taste of Marvel UK.
I was amazed at the different art style than the American Marvel comics at the time, and loved that they had Flywheels in it! (A fav toy a friend gave me for my 7th birthday).
Also, Ultra Magnus, and the Sparkbots! (I had guzzle too).
And the horror of City of Fear!!! The zombies! It legitimately scared 7 yr old me!
The worst part is, I never knew how the story arc ended, since it was just the one issue, and ends with all the zombie bots ganking our heroes!
It wasn't til I was older and they released the trade in the States that I finally saw how it ended. (What a relief, finally!)
Cool pic! Thanks for sparking the memories!!!
(I think... I may have my old City of Fear nightmares tonight now. Haha)

 

That's what it is! I thought something about it looked familiar but couldn't put my finger on it.

 

Some say that he’s just a soldier

and that he can’t deal with a lot of things right now.

All we know is, he’s not the stig, but the stig’s cybertronian cousin.

“Stignus”

 

So I'm going ape hunting tomorrow.

Wish me luck.

 

He's gorgeous. Wears this skin better than Hound does, I less than humbly opine.

 

Good luck!

 

"I am inevitable."


Thanos x Omega Supreme Crossover

 

It's pretty obvious Prime is in production right now and this figure is off that production line, so I'd say it's more final than images taken months ago using a preproduction sample.

 

I think Fulcrum would’ve also made a cool toy in the Siege line, mostly just so that all the Scavengers would have toys.

 

I'm guessing you're referring to Rung, Astrotrain, and Spinister, but who's the last one of those? A Micromaster set?

 

So I have the Fan Vote 3-pack on the way, so I could get Decepticon Impactor and Holo Mirage... For those of you who have both versions of Impactor, Which one is the better one? Going by the pictures I've seen, I like the addition of the caution stripes on the Decepticon version but I only have the Autobot one in-hand so I can't make an accurate judgement yet.

 

Agreed about Red Wing. He's the best looking of the bunch by a fair margin. Second for me would be Starscream, followed by Skywarp.

 

I hope they milk the new mold just as much, because it's such an easy repaint to sell. I just hope the Siege purchases don't dissuade the Earthrise purchases made by the impatient Siege/G1 collectors who would have otherwise preferred the Earthrise mold.

Then again, they can rationalize some of the characters as the Siege mold, with the G1 guys as the Earthrise mold. I know I'm going to be okay with Hoist in Earthrise and Lift Ticket as the Generations mold just to differentiate the molds, as an example.

 

I'm having serious quality issues with Siege.

It's the only transformers line where I've had multiple breakages, pieces that don't stay connected and apparent factory errors.

Nightbird's black crotch area cover keeps falling off and the front part of her vehicle mode that folds under the back portion in bot mode broke since the connecting point is paper-clip thin. I'll buy a new one after the holidays.
Soundwave's gun/cannon has a piece that apparently wasn't glued and so it just falls off randomly.
My first Apeface's head was actually missing the connecting piece for the headmaster function. Second is fine. (I do wonder why they went with that type of white plastic for him, it doesn't seem nearly as solid as Starscream's so I constantly want to paint him)
Typical Starscream hinge issue, but I've got one without the problem now.
Ironhide's fold-down leg parts are so loose they just randomly fall off. Haven't managed to find a Ratchet yet since Walgreens with new exclusives in stock are a rarity but I'm already tempted to install a metal pin in place.
The extended magazine to Hound's gun won't stay in place where it should in alt mode.
My first Ultra Magnus' non-armor head wasn't attached. No idea what was going there but it was just floating in his chest.
I don't transform Megatron since he always feels like he's going to break during the transformation.


I love most of the designs but so far, Shockwave, Voyager Optimus, Sideswipe and the fixed Starscream are the only ones I have no real reservations towards. I just got Jetfire and he seems solid so far but I haven't even transformed him yet. I do like the Weaponizers though. I think they could've done more with them if they tailored them more towards upgrading bots rather than just being weapons. They really have the potential to be able to turn Deluxe-Voyager bots into something more like the new Leader class considering the leaders all have some form of armor/accessory that bulks them up.

I think my biggest like for Siege is being able to phase out some of the figures from the Combiner War trilogy. Optimus Maximus and Sky Reign in particular (and the bots that comprise them) never really had a decent spot in my collection and getting new figures for their component bots is a definite plus. I'm definitely looking forward to a new Sky Lynx figure around Jetfire's size/price point. Hopefully they'll do new Cyclonus and Galvatron figures.
