    I’ve been enjoying my figure, but has anyone else had issues with rust on some of the metal pins? I can’t tell if it’s rust or some sort of black paint rub off, but I see it on the pin holding the headmaster legs in place, and on one of the panel hinges on the legs of them larger robot.

    So after not buying any TFs in almost two years, I bought this one lol. I had G1 Siren, he was my only headmaster and actually one of the last few Transformers I had as a kid, the other being Quake. I have no clue what happened to him as Quake made it through a couple of house moves, whereas Siren and most of the rest of my bots seemed to have been gone by then.

    I love the figure overall, something about the silhouette I just love and it really invokes what I thought I was getting as 7 or 8 yr old me.

    I do have a question: mine did not come with a right thumb, so is there a direct line to fans hobby or should I go through BBTS where I got him?

    Just acquired a used one and there is a little black piece in the box. Does anyone know what it is? 58D3A2C4-1E99-450F-99F2-8ACC69DB3CF5.jpeg

    Don't recall a piece like this from mine, but it's been a long while since unboxing. I'd recommend checking all your shoulder, elbow, hip and knee joints where a screw cover might be missing? Barring that, I'd have to dig mine out and find the box to even have a guess.

    Well this guy ended up being my Fans Hobby gateway drug. Got him, ended up getting Flamebreaker and liked that, then got Delta Baser, and now Power Commander. Loving all of them.

    I actually ended up selling mine, cause it just didn't fit in. I bought it because of the altmode, my first car was a Mazda RX-7.
    But with all the decals and lights on top, it distracted me too much from the look of the car.
    It also didn't really fit in my collection, and i ended up not picking it up anymore so i decided to sell it.
    A fellow RX-7 owner was interested, he was really happy with it, so that makes me happy too

    Glad I took the plunge on “Red Buzzer” because this is an awesome figure. Fun transformation, looks awesome in both modes, and I love that everything (other than the second face) can be stored in either mode.

    It's funny, when I found out about Goshuta back then, I thought the original look was much cooler. That's why I decided to get the first version. But when I see the Siren version, I feel this warm good feeling of nostalgia, because he looks like the toy I had and loved as a kid.

    Makes me wonder if I chose the right version.

    edit:
    btw. You have the feet backwards. (or rather the toy pictured in the image :lol  )

    Just get both! They’re two completely different characters, after all! Heck, one is a police car and the other is a fire department car, they’re as distinct as Red Alert and Clampdown! :D

    I’ll turn them around for sure! I figured the back part would be the heel, I was apparently wrong.

    I had Siren as a kid as well, really glad they made this version. I might get Ace Hitter eventually, it’s a very fun mold.
