    It might be but it's not confirmed yet. Might just be the line will only do SS Prime and Jetfire, and SEIGE Shockwave and ER Wheeljack then the line is done.

    Given that NWFC quite literally used Generations WFC CAD models as animation models with barely any change whatsoever, Takara really did pick the astronomically absolute worst TV show to draw characters from for a repaint line that's higher budget to closely replicate the details of a character as seen on its TV show, didn't they?

    It’s called a cop-out.

    Nope. It is being released this Saturday.
    Ratchet is delayed a month and a half though.

    Are you getting any of the PF figures? Ultra Magnus is a gem in my book

    I’ve got the ‘07 Movie Megatron and have movie Ratchet on preorder.
    I’m a fan so far!

    I have the Siege molds and the BBM figure molds on preorder. Don\'t have an interest in the Bayverse ones. Bumblebee is being added to my Bee shelf and I\'m a sucker for that Seeker mold. Keep em coming. I just wish for one with open/close hands.

    Ah, yes. Because more of the same in a premium package is what we've been asking for.

    Just one clean version of the Siege molds. Why is this so difficult for them to get?

    SG Starscream is your only 'clean' option.

    Huh…there’s actually more of a difference than I first thought from early promo pics. I really dig the darker grey and purple/blue tinge. I like battle-damage; and at least it’s unique on this one.

    Maybe I’m crazy but if early reviews confirm that the cockpit doesn’t fall off, oddly enough I may actually pony up for this as my definitive Siege SS. Who’d-a-thunk?…

    Full disclosure: I did recently get the PF Siege Prime as my first copy of the mold, and I think it’s a superb figure. So maybe that’s swaying my perception too..

    It looks better just not twice the price better. Though I do think his face pops a lot better.

    You know a figure is totally worth the massive upmark when I can’t even tell which one is the premium one.
    (Insert generic reply about how it’s not double the price in Japan)

    Hello
    Just got this bad boy, haven't seen in hand pics yet.
    Video review coming soon

    First impressions:
    Excellent paintjob overall, except the dust marks. Why does he and megatron have these dots, there were not like that on premium optimus. At least dots seem smaller on him than Megatron 's

    Still improved "darker" colors for Starscream than original "plastic" grey Laurentqy-toybox--09612.jpg Laurentqy-toybox--09619.jpg Laurentqy-toybox--09616.jpg Laurentqy-toybox--09615.jpg Laurentqy-toybox--09614.jpg

    That battle damage doesn't look any better than the standard Seige release, wish they would have taken the opportunity to release this mold without it.

    Looks better than Siege, but I feel like you wouldn't really notice the difference unless you had them side by side. I'm more than happy with my regular Siege Screamer, definitely not paying double the regular price for a version that is only a slight improvement over an already good deco.

    I’m in the “looks better but not enough to warrant purchasing” camp.
