not a bad idea

 

I think we're all set with Siege here. Last purchase was Rung. Still on the fence about Nemesis Prime, though.

 

i agree

 

see my joke isn't that bad take that ER complainers!

 

Let's see I already have the last wave of Micromasters in my pile of loot on Big Bad and I'm waiting for Spinister to drop in there as well. Then all I have to do is track down Astrotrain and Rung and I'll be all done with Siege, but they can wait until after Christmas.

 

Was Rung an online purchase or did you find him in the wild?

 

Bought online. Missed him in the wild after a local comic shop got him in.

Just about everywhere online is charging above MSRP (eBay being worst offender). I had points saved up at Toyarena and redeemed those when getting him. Sold out there now (just looked).

 

Matrix Workshop upgrades for Smokescreen & Mirage

 

Cool customs

 

I personally use Sixgun's legs as arm cannons for him

 

Well, they're not wrong tho

 

Is he up for Pre-Order anywhere?

 

man i Like Siege War for Cybertron

 

Especially with the G1 toy evocative battlemask! I've recently reconciled the fact that I'm a Generations collector with the fact that Studio Series is technically Generations.

So I'm buying mostly WFC or older Generations lines and the occasional Studio figure, but it's ALL Generations and can all sit on one shelf together. The occasional TV show toy, like RID Steeljaw or odd Cyberverse toys, might make it on there to represent their little corner of the multiverse.

That's what I tell myself to fall asleep at night when I feel the impulse to 'section them off' lmao!

 

How's the pegs on those? I had to do quite a bit of filing / modding work to get all the oversized pegs to fit properly, let alone have all the guns plug into each other for the combined mode. TFSafari said that MW finally fixed their peg problems starting with kit M21 (Ratchet one). The Smokescreen / Barricade kit (M18) was my last purchase.

Most places have sold out of their pre-order. Don't even think Hasbropulse ever had it up for pre-order either. You can wait and see if the usual suspects will have pre-orders up again as people cancel their orders.

Robotkingdom still has it up for pre-order. I usually don't order from them unless I'm ready to go for a huge order as their shipping costs can be quite high.

 

I know I'm super late to the party, but I've finally got myself a Siege Starscream! Never had a G1 Screamer before, so I was super hyped getting him, and boy he's a stunner! The joints are so nice and tight, somehow he feels even more solid than Siege Megs despite not being as robust. Transforming and posing this guy is a delight, and his waist is nowhere near as limited as I though it'd be. I was also pleasantly surprised by how his chest plate absolutely refuses to pop off its hinges, looks like I've lucked out and got myself a revised edition.

Overal, the figure's an absolute 12/10 for me, can't wait to make some photos of him posing like a JoBro.

EDIT: Just realized this guy has some butterfly joints in his shoulders, holy shit!

 

Time to level the playing field. Since Prowl didn’t come with shoulder blasters, thought I’d see how TLK Barricade’s nightstick and wrist blaster assembly looked on him.



I think it works. The wrist assembly doesn’t wrap all the way around his arm, but still holds on well enough. I like how the nightstick pegs onto the leg. The beige plastic is a nice contrast against the black and white too. I like this look for Prowl.

 

I'm on the fence about NP too. Leaning toward no, at the moment. I think the figure looks great, I just don't feel he's worth the prices I've seen for him. I wish they had made him a Generations Selects figure instead of a TT Mall exclusive.

 

On both figures, the hand guns fit just fine without issue. On Mirage's missile luncher, the missile was very loose in the launcher, so much that it would fall out. I put a tiny piece of paper in the port to tighten things up, worked great. Smokescreen's shoulder cannons were a tight fit - they got started easily, but needed a hard push to get fully seated. Overall, not bad!
