    Now that there are all seven Siege Seekers available, which individual Seeker is the best use of the mold?

    I can't decide between the original three myself.

    That's a big assumption. I think Tonton's figure is a sample and myself I wouldn't consider it the final product. To me, the in-package photos of ER Prime seems to be a better indicator of what the final product is.

    Like the others said, if you can get him, best do it now before it goes up to the "normal" voyager prices.

    I give him a 6.5/10. For me he's the weakest Voyager in Siege line yet better than any Voyager from PotP.

    Personally I am partial to Starscream as I think he has the best use of color

    Ultrion has a decent ring to it.

    For me, he's Ultra Magnus regardless of whether the armor is on or not. Both words are just parts of his name, not descriptive terms for a ungraded mode. I realize that this varies according to the continuity but - with the exception of Animated where "Magnus" is a rank - in the ones I like best and am most familiar with, he's always addressed as Ultra Magnus or Magnus for short.

    That is a fantastic idea, and makes me want those Dr. Wu cassette bots more. That really adds more playing and posing value to Ru.....um, I mean to that red and black robot that turns into a cassette.

    I just call the inner robot Magnus Prime (yes I know this is a Titans Return figure).

    In terms of QC, Ion Storm is the most stable of the seven here. In terms of deco, then Red Wing.

    AHAHAHAHA, YES! The almighty Xenu smiles upon me, I DID snag myself a Ratchet! He'll be getting a new MTMTE stylez head and a few licks of paint soon, can't decide what colour to do his hands though, I know they weren't blue for very long after he stole Pharma's but the Delphi two-parter is one of my favourite Transformers stories.

    I grabbed the Countdown base set for 0,01$ but I'm not sure if I want to spend 35$ more on Omega Supreme :D 
    Would probably dig some labels for Apeface tho

    Meh, I'd have preferred G1-esque stickers. The clear ones with arrows, warnings and the like. These are, as is their style now, too busy.
    They also look like stickers, and thus look out of place.

    Siege Spinister is a total surprise! I was so happy when they announced this figure. I had the G1 toy as a kid and it was one of my absolute favorites. Siege Spinister will happily remedy the missing void that is my old G1 figure.
    130620E5-CAB8-4CFA-BF18-322969254AA1.jpeg
    It’s the colors that grab you right off. They match well with his G1 counterpart. Who would’ve thought that teal and purple would be a good color scheme for an Apache attack helicopter? Speaking of which.......
    1C460F55-162A-4948-8054-1662759DA86C.jpeg
    .......it’s a Decepticon, so the colors are perfect. And this Apache design is just gorgeous.

    The detailing on the cockpit is excellent. I like how the windows have that ever so slightly cloudy effect to them. Probably a POA to see out of, but at least it looks good. Also, Spinister is very stable in this mode. I was concerned with the way the faux cockpit folds up under him (which is genius by the way) that the helo would not sit properly. Thanks to the landing gear and his guns, it balances everything and holds a landing position very well.

    The faux cockpit honestly I feel is barely noticeable in this mode. It’s not as obtrusive as Mirage’s faux chest. From certain angles in the back you can see it, but it doesn’t get in the way of anything and feels really good in hand.

    I really like his weapons. They are a nice callback to his G1 Targetmasters, Singe and Hairsplitter. I know we got the Battlemaster updated of those figures in this line, but I don’t have Singe yet. I do have the not-Shrute that came with Skywarp. But the ones he came with will do just fine for now. I love how they look as wrist-mounted blasters.

    Poseability on this bot is insane. I think Spinister is the Deluxe equivalent to Siege Voyager Starscream, or any of the Seekers for that matter. His frame is well engineered and just the right amount of lanky to be nimble and agile.

    See what I mean?!
    DBC9E5BB-5DC5-4B6A-B928-DF238634778D.jpeg
    Spinister cleans up very nicely too and has a killer silhouette and profile. I can’t even begin to describe how smartly this figure is engineered, but everything folds up magically into his torso. I love his headsculpt too. Even from this angle, those eyes and faceplate make Spinister look sinister.
    E78672E0-A1EE-49C8-BDA7-4E7342254BD0.jpeg
    Siege Spinister I think is definitely a contender for best Deluxe figure, if not the best of all size classes in this line. Wheeljack vs. Spinister is the pairing I voted for. I’m glad for Mirage and Impactor, but I am overjoyed to have gotten Spinister and look eagerly forward to Wheeljack. G1 Spinister was one of my favorite toys, not just in the Transformers line, growing up. One of the best helicopter bots, awesome Decepticon colors, excellent robot design, killer headsculpt and silhouette, mind-blowing transformation, dynamic poseability for days, cool accessories. Siege Spinister is the whole package.
