    How does Apeface scale with those Over Sized Head Masters in bot mode? I was thinking about purchasing them but only if they scale well with my other figures in bot mode..

    Been awhile since I bought a Siege figure. But this bot is too much of a looker to pass up.

    Honestly, not well. They scale pretty well in beast mode but the oversized KO guys are about an inch taller in bot mode.

    Basically, in bot mode, the oversized KOs are using the old Voyager scale while Siege Apeface is the size of one of the newer voyagers which is, about the size of an older Deluxe figure.

    He is a looker indeed. Ties Nova Storm as my fav seeker from siege. Just needs his trusty flamethrower.

    So its not show accurate but i decided to give Netflix Magnus his look from the trailer where he has a cloak in this instance said cloak is a spare from SS Megatron but it gets the job done.

    I decided to take a little extra stop going out this morning and lo and behold, the Walmart I stopped at had the extended Transformer endcap. Laughably, they had 1 Megatron and 4 Hotlinks, so I took the chance to look at all four Hotlinks, while they largely looked the same, I took the one with the best looking face paint. Also grabbing a Mirage, I headed out and used a giftcard to pay for some of it. In the car, I cancelled my pre-order for Megatron and Mirage (I had missed out on Hotlink), so I'm done for a while.

    During the pandemic, I open one figure a day to fully experience and enjoy the figure, but I opened them all once I got home just to ensure they had good QC; to my surprise, they are had very tight joints. I'll just have to spend the next few days really getting to know these guys.

    Having every version of the Tetrajet (except Starscream), I was wondering if at this point there'd be some degradation on Hotlink, but I seem to have the opposite problem; it's extraordinarily tight. I popped the chestplate off transforming it not because it's loose, but because the swivel joint was so tight that on first transformation it really didn't want to move. Similarly, pegging the arms into the legs on one side took a lot of force, and the whole jet coming together really locked into place (though I think there may be some warping on my copy as one side it's not as smoothly panel aligned, there's some gappage, but it's not due to any part not being in, just the way it comes together). The color deco is great, and I'm shocked that on use 8 that it's far and away my tightest jointed version of the figure.

    I passed on the WFC Mass release Megatron. I passed on the Wal-mart 35 anniversary Megatron. The wait paid off. I've pretty much tossed the sword/gun to the side and used the alternate tank configuration. I'm also pleased how well this fits on a stand (shockingly on the same stand, better than Hotlink in Tetrajet mode) and looks like a real cool hovertank. I'll be honest, I don't think we've ever gotten a Megatron that so embodies the G1 Tech Spec/profile as this guy does. I'm thinking I may put a reprolabel Decepticon symbol over the worn one on his chest.

    Somewhat humorously, I only have clear mirage from the multi-pack, so having this version in regular plastic and with such a great deco is really satisfying.

    This is my favorite mold of Mirage. It just feels right as the best of the first wave. But given that he's a Con, I'm gonna call him Detour.

    IMHO, Omega and Ironworks go together like Metroplex and Sixgun, or Trypticon and Brunt.

    Sorry been awhile. However the kids and I have done some tinkering. Around February we scored some clearance figures on the real cheap for their blast effects then we adjusted the fun factor of the Siege Battle Masters namely we stole joints from KO Halo/COD Megablock figures. Then we glued them together and dyed them and for some we added paints. So here is some fun.
