    That's a Cyberverse Quintesson.

    And IKR. The new figures usually win in headsculpts and articulation, robot mode design is debatable, but the old alt modes were just sexy compared to the shoes with wheels we have now.

    As odd as the robot mode looks on this mold I’m tracking them down. Siege prowl just doesn’t do it for me in any way

    I’m sort of glad the only one of that mold I have is Artfire. I don’t need those wrenching decisions. ( Although if Universe Inferno pops up for cheap enough I still have the Gear of War set parts somewhere. )

    ahhh, thanks for clarification, i thought the Cyberverse Quint was just a head.
    yeah, Siege for the most part just has embarrassingly bad alt modes IMHO. Some good in there, but i think most of those were carry forward or backward designs originally meant for other lines.

    Sure, in general the have some extra articulation, but I've never got the weird opinion that they are like "massively" more articulated then most modern figures. i guess Prime Wars ratcheted things back in a few areas, but Universe 2.0 through Thrilling 30 were pretty danged full-featured:maybe not every figure had ankle tilts or wrist swivels, but a lot did to. Very few modern figures have disappointed me for lacking articulation. (and a lot of Sieges ankle tilt designs are kinda janky) I just want a figure to be able to achieve an expressive pose.

    that said, yeah, the headsculpts, man. The last couple lines (starting with TR) in general and Siege in particular have just been blasting them out of the park. They are so sharp, expressive and exceptional in detail ~ i wish i could transplant them to some of those much superior (IMHO) older molds.

    If you have a Target available, check the endcaps. Mine had none in the aisle, all of their new Cyberverse toys were displayed a couple of aisles over at the end.

    I already replaced mine with Siege. Just add the boots and he looks fine with TR Blitzwing and Octane.

    Alas, the Siege version hasn't reached me yet due to the vagaries of Hasbro and how they distribute to Hasbro UK. Soon!

    That'd be fine had they not shoehorned it in to the Titans return line - get the toyhax helmet and rip of the cockpit and it's better already.

    This may be more of a unpopular opinions thread comment, but I like the triple changer aspect of TR Galvatron :(

    I think most people do, it's just the Titan Master crown gimmick and cannon placement that ruins it for most.

    Both of these are easily fixed with Shapeways parts, which involves expense and effort a lot of people aren't willing to put in. Understandably, I think, since it would have been easy enough for the toy to just not have those problems. Also, I don't think there's an easy fix for people who live outside the US.
