    I went to purchase Omega Supreme this week finally, and boy has he jumped up in price to $189 on Amazon. Are there any chances we might see him back down to the $149 price point?

    I've checked third party sellers and even through Amazon. I wonder if stock was low due to the holidays and the prices have gone up. I'll have to keep an eye out for when he gets back to normal price again.

    Seems like a mismatch.

    My Siege Top 3 Autobots and Decepticons:

    1. Spinister. Why? He's one underslung cockpit tabbing in away from perfection. EDIT: Also, if you modify his transformation you can get the cockpit to tab in. Spinister has the best articulation in Siege and he's pink.
    2. Shockwave. Why? He may be small, but Hasbro packed in a leader sized figure's goodness into a voyager sized body. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a concentrated figure than one that's watered down. The armor is fun (if unnecessary) and the sculpt is dead-on Shockwave.
    3. Astrotrain. Why? This figure is intricate. I can't say that about many figures these days, but once again Hasbro decided to go for a smaller leader with an increased parts-count and it paid off. All three modes are great, especially the space-train, and the coal cart full of weapons is dope.

    1. Voyager Optimus Prime. Why? Excellent Articulation, perfect sculpt, he's the voyager Optimus Prime I never knew I needed. Oh, and he's got that backwards butterfly shoulder joint (or whatever you call it) and as such he poses like a dream.
    2. Jetfire. Why? On top of starting out a new size class that opens up a ton of possibilities for the future, Siege Jetfire has an excellent ultra mode, loads of accessories, and a kickass jet mode that's straight out of the old cartoon.
    3. Omega Supreme. Huge, solidly built and unexpectedly articulated, Omega here is king of the Titans.

    Finally got Ratchet's gap fillers and leg extenders in the mail. Because it's not likely we'll ever get a Voyager class Ironhide or Ratchet figure, the extra quarter inch in height does help with scale!

    Whats's strange is that the package also came with this.....

    Now I never requested it and I'm aware that mistakes do happen. But this mistake just so happens to match my Avatar in here!

    Coincidence......?

    Would you happen to have a pick of Ratchet in alt mode with the add ons attached?

    Ordered another Springer. Current one is in helicopter mode with the Lionizer swooshes attached to the blades... Then I thought, 'Let's get those into his hands!'.

    If I'm not happy with that it's into car mode he goes lol

    You have to rotate the upper hip joints to the opposite of where it is when it doesn't tab, then it will tab in perfectly.

    So boom you got perfection. :p

    I tried that and it worked but it didn't feel like it was intentional and it made de-transforming him a pain. I feel like it might get stuck like that.

    I also do the arms last when transforming from bot to airwolf, it makes it a lot easier as well. :)

    Unfortunately the leg extenders prevent it. An it's a pain taking them off. But I had no intentions of ever transforming him anyway. I just keep the 2.0 or CW versions of him and Ironhide in alt mode. But here's Bot mode pictures...

    Always wondered what happened to him after season 1.
    This is now canon to me
