    I don't know if I want to have him with gray Gap fillers but if they're white and/or red then I'm sold!

    According to the packaging, Pteraxodon goes to Prowl, and Smashdown is either teamed with Red Alert or Springer.

    All hail Ratbat

    The best part of the figure...is his hilarious tiny feet. Makes up for the "face tank shield" mode.

    In the current IDW 'verse Prowl has been seen owning a pet pteranodon-like thingy. It's green, but looks organic, so I don't know if it's supposed to be a reference. May just have been an Easter egg by the colourist.

    Soundwave does look good with the red visor. But I'm happy with the yellow one, and I think the red helps Soundblaster more with his overall look than Soundwave.

    In the old IDW he engaged in increasingly morally dubious things, very much an 'end justifies the means' sort. It was largely extrapolated from how Simon Furman wrote him in the G1 Marvel comic.

    Just got my Bluestreak in the mail today! I really love this mold more than I thought I would; I love the mini-Masterpiece style of it's construction. I do wish they would have tooled a new head like his MP incarnation to set it apart, but it's all good. Still love it! My Henkei Bluestreak can now be put to rest. Until they make a Bluestreak that's a literal mini Datsun 280, it's this Siege figure and the MP version. Bucketlist checked!

    I’m excited for him, I’m building the late Funpub Wreckers team and Siege has given me three of the guys I need.

    He was a step and a half from being Shockwave.

    I'm exaggerating of course :D :D  but the bot could be unscrupulous.

    Siege finally did it. I tend to be…restrained about purchasing repaints. Usually only one of each mold, excepting maybe the seekers. I just get Prowl or Bluestreak of the Datsuns (Smokescreen is always left out), and only
    Sideswipe of the Red Alert/Sideswipe mold.

    but these have so enticed me that I have both “Lambos”, and all four “Datsuns.” It’s ridiculous. Now I’ve got to design and make some different shoulder weapons to differentiate the various mold mates.

    yeah, I’ve fudged a bit with my “no repaint” rule regarding this line. In my defense, I did not pay full price for Red Alert and Thundercracker! May not be so strong when it comes to Bluestreak tho…

    I’m wondering how difficult it would be to pop off a gun barrel from Shockwave and attach it to Ratchet to act as his laser scalpel?

    Un-boxed a few more Siege figures and wow! Soundwave and Shockwave's bot modes are perfection to the point of I'm lost for words. A shame that Soundwave's alt modes are kind of random, might buy that upgrade kit so I can have the good old microcassette recorder mode. I kind of wish Hasbro would have just scarp Leader class and just bought back Ultra Class because that is Shockwave what truly is, an amazing Ultra Class figure at a Leader class price point. But other then that, Siege is still in my opinion the best Transform toyline we have had since the golden days of Classic's 1.0 and Cybertron.

    it's probably me flaunting my ignorance but I always thought Nonnef's stuff was high grade 3D printing or casting, so if that's off, then I apologize.

    *googles things*

    well, crap. Most of my points stand but I apologise for mischaracterizing Nonnef's product. ha. That does explain, a lot.
