    The Soundwave and Starscream in-hand pics posted a page before were from Yu's Hobbyland on Facebook. Haven't seen any vehicle mode pics yet

    =p to be fair, it means that bots like Metroplex(who supposed to be around 800m) and Fort Max("over 3 miles tall") are only about 82½m tall, or only a tenth of what Metroplex should be IRL.

    Interesting fact to discover though. But I wished Hasbro would have instead confirmed Siege's own internal scale instead. =/ oh well.

    They do certainly scale nice with each other, I ain't gonna lie.

    I don't know, it looks like the back gun mount section would get in the way of the shoulder folding to the back.

    I wouldn't call it ignorance since you can blame a lot of the confusion on size to Mass Shifting. Rumble and Frenzy were mini's, the Insecticon's where Legends class. Reflector ranged between Legend and Deluxe per episode, the individual Construsticon's were Deluxes and the Seekers, Soundwave, Shockwave and Megatron were all Voyagers.

    Great pic! I want Sixgun and Ironhide from wave two, but they seem to be the hardest to find.

    Did you print your own hand for SW?

    Some people may be put off by stickers. One great thing that the Siege line has going for it is no gaudy peeling stickers on the figures straight out of the box. I’m of the opinion though that stickers, when done right, can be a wonderful thing. If the stickers are designed well and fit the character, they can be an excellent way to accentuate the already great design of the figure. I recently got all the Toyhax sets for all the Wave 1 Siege Deluxes and I am thoroughly impressed. I’ll start with Cog.

    Right away the gold popping from the shoulders and the silver on the shins I think make him look much more intimidating.

    I love the new details on his sides now. They really make him stand out in just the right way.

    The stickers carry over quite nicely to his alt mode. Those side details just pop even more and it’s cool how much better the main forward guns look with those gold accents.

    One of my favorite things about this set is the stickers for his treads. Definitely gives this mode a little kick.

    They make Grommet and Gasket look more lively than just your standard city drones. Not that blue and silver are bland colors, but the new red and gold accents really makes this whole figure more impressive.

    No, it's a modded KFC hand meant for MP Tracks.

    I guess Starscream waist swivel became pointless
    His hips also probably have limited backwards movement
    Just when i thought HasTak had learned the lesson of not letting the cockpit getting in the way of a waist swivel...

    I think you can make the cockpit a buttflap and swivel all you want.
    But let's see when it's released.

    I hope so
    Siege has been keeping a very high standard of poseability so far
    This is going to be my first Starscream ever(im new to collecting)
    On another note, if he does have a functional waist swivel, this means a CHUG figure will have more poseability than an official Masterpiece figure(MP-11 has no waist swivel and ankle pivot while Siege does)

    If anyone in the qc area wants a prime leader, chromia and six gun in wave 2 at store cost when theyre released i will maybe sell them. I bought all wave 2 on pre-order but not sure about those.

    We need a new MP Starscream.
    See MakeToys version has everything.
    Why can't Takara do it?

    Is it really fair to compare a 2019 mold to a mold that came out over 10 years ago? Plus.. He has one it just doesn't function correctly with the way his torso transforms

    When the MP-11 mold is one of the only modern options for a seeker and they sold it for $200 as recently as 2015...yeah, kinda. In terms of bang for your buck, Siege is just really impressive. I want to see more pictures of him, but Starscream looks to be the best Decepticon so far, aside from Shockwave. I've done a complete 180 from seeing him in the reveals and now...goes to show you what good posing can do for a figure.
