It seems he has a T Joint.

 

Only thing I'm not really digging about Springer are the pinned sections on the inside of the feet. The contrasting grays make them more apparent than they need to be. That's a minor gripe, though.

 

Hopefully it's more muted on the actual figure.
I do agree in the Toyfair pics - it's a very glossy dark gray that does scream "LOOK AT ME! I'M DIFFERENT!!!" Haha.

 

=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.

 

Anymore new pictures of Voyager Soundwave and Starscream hiding anywhere?

 

Anyone notice the barrel of Hound's rifle is 5mm?

Anyway, made a hammer out of his rifle parts!

 

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.

 

Optimus Prime:

 

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...

 

anyone found a stand that actually works for shoclwave? he has a flight stand socket in his butt, and for some reason theres wings on either side that completely block it

 

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?
