    I don't see them being earth modes as a down side, as now you have pre and post cybertron versions, also most figures were just slightly modified earth vehicles anyway

    I understand that both sides that prefer each style are getting their cake and eating it as well, that’s all well and good. Hasbro’s story for this part is completely pulled from their ass as well. They’ve left Cybertron but they’re going on about them visiting different worlds too, it’s a chapter too early if you ask me. ER should have been part 3. Could have had “WFC: Exodus” and have it based around space and S3/4 worlds and characters.

    It’s a massive 180 from a design point of view. You’re going to notice if you’re trying to update/expand your S1/2 CHUGs for 2019/2020 and you’ve got ER Hoist/Cliffjumper next to Siege Prowl.

    They could have designed a much better mold for Starscream instead we get another flying brick design
    go take a look at Triggerhappy, that there is a fine jet design.
    I don't get how anybody could actually like earthrise Starscream

    Triggerhappy is one of my top 10 in the last 6 or so years, he’s beyond good.

    Starscream needed more time on the drawing board I think. Surely there was a way to do the waist..this isn’t bloody 1984 anymore Hasbro.

    No, you're not the only one. I was one of the few that considered a new Earth mode Starscream inevitable, as Siege seemed to essentially be a Generations "reset", and I personally don't mind owning different versions of the same character(like Earth+Tetrajet Starscream). I'm glad to finally have a replacement for Classics Starscream. =D

    If you don't see how SS is wrong, well, he:
    -likes to play cowardly
    -is not a trusted person
    -tries to take command so many times

    I’m not digging the grey hands on Prime.

    If they are easy to swap out maybe a third party will make replacements.

    "Transformers Trading Card Game Siege II cards, including the new unaffiliated "Mercenaries" faction! Members include Lockdown, Detritus, Octone, and Deadlock - he who shall one day be known as Drift."

    In the descriptions it says that a new mercenary offshoot will be part of the toys I have a feeling that the ones listed there in the card game are probably going to be those. Which means we're going to get and octane.
    Also I just read that they said that the Cliffjumper toy would not be turned into a bumblebee, that it was a unique mold, I think that that is our Runabout and runamuck base pretool for the fan vote toy they did.

    fan vote toys (that arent remolds of pre-existing toys like victorion) usually dont have pretools as anything other than themselves.
    windblade-retool as slipstream years later and repaint for sdcc
    victorion-remold of cw figures
    trypticon-unique mold
    optimal optimus-throne of primes
    impactor-idw impactor
    mirage-holo mirage

    also all i heard from the first part was lockdown and drift!!!

    I’m thinking that they are, looks like they swivel around a peg? Maybe Nonnef can come to the rescue?

    I’m not sure about the gray panel on his legs though? I’m not sure how they are connected, maybe you need to pop a pin?

    Maybe I need to start learning how to diy cast plastic? Lol!

    To that I say, bullshit. Look I believe that Warden and his team are good people. But I think we’re past no waist swivels on a seeker. At least to me, if they gave some more time to rework the design they could make a waist swivel happen.

    Again I read all of these negative posts complaining about what other people post.
    Freedom of speech is a difficult concept for some people.
    Why can't you be more grateful that you are getting what you want and let people who aren't getting what they want voice their discontent.
    We all pay for what we get, so we really don't owe Hasbro anything. It's alright to voice a little critique when you don't like something.

    The fact that Victorion, optimal, and mirage/impactor were recolors is part of my point. They can make two new figures with just a new head.

    Slightly off topic but im guessing the cons either used Astrotrain to get to earth or a space bridge as no Nemisis on the art work.....

    I'm late to this discussion. I stopped yesterday at page 73 and jumped to this page, so bare with me, if it has been said before.

    The positive thing about the new mold is, it appears to be the same transformation as the original deluxe.

    But I'm also still liking the deluxe better. Especially around the chest, there's more rounded corners, it just looks less brick.

    Also I prefer the chromed paint job.

    But for new collectors I think this are the best seekers in years. But top three are the three deluxes classic mold, wfc mold and Armada mold.

    John Warden had to move a battemaster so they could get that shot

    but you are also missing my point, the three figures from the last two fan votes were all redecoed or retooled as themselves. they were also wave 4 figures. that says two things

    1: runamuck is not a mold share with a wave 1 figure because his mold wont be ready till wave 4
    2: its far more likely that "stealth runamuck" (aka a poor mans runabout since he was originally a seperate mold) will be the mold share of runamuck than a completely unreleated character
