She was only available to preorder via a wishlist trick at first, and was finally listed and available for sale on Monday, but since she's an Amazon Prime exclusive, Prime shipping means that Greenlight, one of the most highly anticipated figures of the Siege line, has already arrived in some fans' homes! One of those fans is yours truly, and I've taken the liberty of taking several in hand pictures, to help you, fellow Seibertronians, decide if she's a good fit for you.
Greenlight debuted in the G1 cartoon episode "The Search for Alpha Trion" as one of the Female Autobots, a group of resistance fighters left on Cybertron. While she didn't have any speaking lines, or even a name, for that matter, she still showed up in several scenes. That was pretty much it for her until a quarter-century later, when a text story from Fun Publications in 2010 not only had her as a part of the story, but also gave her the name of Greenlight. After that story, it was another long hiatus for her until she showed up as a member of the Cybertronian colony of Carcer in IDW's previous 2005-18 continuity. She's shown up in IDW's rebooted continuity as well, so it looks like she's here to stay.
History lesson aside, let's get to the pictures!
To start with, she's a remold of the Moonracer/Firestar mold, with a new head, new forearms and hands, and a striking bright green and pale yellow color scheme that's straight out of the G1 cartoon. Her head sculpt is fantastically cartoon accurate, just like her mold-mates' heads.
She even has her little elvish ears!
And, unfortunately, the large backpack.
It doesn't hinder her posing, as most of the backpack is hollow.
She looks great next to her mold-mates in car mode, and has a distinctive enough deco to stand out, regardless of color.
This mold has been used three times now, but thankfully, shows no signs of degradation. The joints on my copy are just as tight as on the first iteration. This allows for some excellent action poses.
As shown above, she also comes with Dazzlestrike, a slight repaint of the Battlemaster Lionizer. Just a touch of matching green on Dazzlestrike's blade and voila! A new character. Her Battlemaster partner does come with a new flaming effect part that attaches to the blade, and it looks really cool.
So in my humble opinion, Greenlight is worth picking up. She and Dazzlestrike cost just as much as each of the individual figures would, despite being an exclusive. There's no mold degradation, the colors and paint app layouts are nice and distinctive, and this is her first toy, despite appearing in fiction for over 34 years! (I have a thing for obscure fembots). My only nitpick is that her new forearms and fists are molded in such a way that they kind of clip over the rear fender pieces, rather than tabbing in as on Moonracer or Firestar. Granted, those pieces don't tab in very well... the fists, too, can't move (they're a solid piece now) so they hang very low.
So that's about it for Greenlight.... oh wait, she IS a retool of a Power of the Primes mold, and NOT Siege Chromia, so that does mean that she has two other modes, as.....
....a combiner arm....
... and a combiner leg.
Speaking of combiner limbs, though she has the capability and combiner hand, there's no indication of that in her instructions. However...I have taken the liberty to finish off this article with the following mini story I've titled "How Orthia Came To Be". Enjoy, and let us know your thoughts on this figure below!
"Elita One, help! I'm stuck in this box!"
"Female Autobots, I need your help!"
"Yo."
"Let's get her out of there!"
"Almost there, Greenie!"
"Yay, she made it!"
"Thanks ladies!"
"Now I just need to get my kitty out. Come on, Dazzy!"
"Wait, Dazzy, nooo! Why did you jump up there? How are we going to get Dazzlestrike down?"
"I have an idea! Female Autobots? Transform, and COMBINE!"
"Wait, Chromia, why aren't you in arm mode?"
"Ask Hasbro!"
"Da**it, Hasbro! We'll just have to do it one armed since Lancer isn't here... yet. Finish combining!"
"Orthia is online!"
"Come to me, Dazzlestrike. That's it... just a bit more!"
"Wait, SERIOUSLY?? Cats!

The tr Kup repaint could have worked well with a vehicle nose coloring, slight shoulder remold and wheels on the arms. If hasbro ever gets round to selling blaster effects they should do some stick on wheels for the characters that are missing them :p

Missfire's/Aimless' face plate on Kup's Flintlock Titan Master. The figure itself is a Kup repaint, you can see the teal in his hands.

I'm loving all of these. Apeface looks great, I can't wait to get Spinister, and I'm digging Crosshairs as well. Don't know why some people are fussing about it being a repaint. Um, hello? It's Hasbro? He's getting a new head sculpt and that's fine. For me though, it's all about that Astrotrain. He's always been a favorite of mine and I can't wait to get him. Love the scale as well.
Wonder if there's a chance that Hasbro will reuse that mold with some remolding here and there to make a leader sized Broadside that has a jet mode that isn't doofy? I'd love to have a large one for my Wreckers collection.

Looks like somebody doesn't like the competition
But the custom is better TO ME at least because it resembles the characteristics of the G1 original more.

I'm guessing those are the pics you were going for, I just got them off Twitter instead.
But we actually know what an official one would look like if it were to happen thanks to the Legends comic.

I just don't like all the visible screw holes and 5 mm ports but it kind of fits the background
Maybe some new type of camo

So, what was the point of greenlight's new arm? There are no hinge on her wrist, which makes her fist hangs out a bit more than the other, and they don't put extra articulation too, it is just one molded piece, so what gives? Does it makes her more screen accurate or something?

It's kind of subtle but her chest plate is also retooled! She's quite fun. I'm really hoping now though that the Lancer has painted hubcaps to match Novastar, who is the only other version of the mold with painted hubcaps.

Yup, The Manga planted the seeds, too bad it didn't come to fruition (or for some, maybe a good thing)...
Crosshairs from Kup
Pointblank from Hotrod &
Sureshot from Full-Tilt
The Decepticon TR TM's first came from a new mold, then was heavily retooled multiple times. Now our first Autobot TM comes as pretty much a repaint of Siege Ironhide (except for the head). I really have no strong opinion either way, but one wonders if the other two will come from original molds, or be retools/repaints as well??

Sideswipe looks great. Definitely want him but not the Duocon. I hope somebody on ebay wants him only. And let's see which thirdparty company makes the best add on weapons for him to make him truly G2.

I regret owning that can of rotten worms. Reused WFC/FOC characters and weapons for a third time. Many of the Cybertronian levels were also ridiculously tedious compared to older games and sometimes you die too easily on the lowest difficulty. Saving Cliffjumper (protect others with turret part) Shockwave infiltrating and lowering defenses (no checkpoints and way too many enemies) and lastly defending Movie Optimus as Grimlock. So not worth the replay.
But let's not stray too far off topic.

Unfortunately Hasbro removed digital licenses. PS3 is sometimes cheap but finding good deals for the games is a little tougher since discs could not be recalled by hasbro and their value has risen as a result and even the Playstation NOW on PS4 has no license to allow the games on rental subscription service. Even brick and mortar stores like Gamestop dont seem to carry them or they disappear faster than word spreads that they were spotted.

I find plenty at Gamestops everywhere, but Devastation costs 20$...
Which is a lot more than what I played for what I considered the best game ever, Titanfall 2.

Even brick and mortar stores like Gamestop dont seem to carry them or they disappear faster than word spreads that they were spotted.
I find plenty at Gamestops everywhere, but Devastation costs 20$...
Which is a lot more than what I played for what I considered the best game ever, Titanfall 2.

For those wondering about Greenlight's arm panels, she did have somewhat triangular forearms in-show.

Competition has nothing to do with it, YOU are the one that posted broken image links and didn't fix them. I did you a favor, no need to be like that.
I didn't say it didn't look better, I just said we had an official representation of what that would look like. Even if it is just Sakamoto going a little rogue, Takara Tomy still printed it knowing how fans would react.

But the custom is better TO ME at least because it resembles the characteristics of the G1 original more.

I think he was referring to the notion that TFormers doesn't permit hotlinking their images, with that site being the aforementioned "somebody" and this Seibertron board (or other sites in general) being its competition.Emerje wrote:Lunatic Prime wrote:Looks like somebody doesn't like the competition

And the images were fine when I posted them. I always preview posts and check them after submitting them.
Maybe one of our admins disabled them because of TFormers' guidelines.

Well hey, they turned into a ghost town after the idiotic closure of the marketplace in favor of an awkward proprietary eBay Lite thing. They've got to try and retain what little traffic they still get somehow.

The only thing I can think of is that the remolding does make for a better looking combiner leg with the hands now behind the wheels instead of front and center looking like someone is making a fake pair of glasses with their hands.

The real reason I came here was to share this, even though everyone has already received their Ms. Greenjeans. Old WillyJ gloom spreader and his fear mongering had me worried, but she came packed nice and tidy

I did.
Now I can't afford Siege figures.
Problem solved!
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that.

You can post it all here.
But there was this photo challenge thread started by carytheone at the onset of Siege. It was fun but kind of petered out. It would be cool to revive though.

My Greenlight was packaged nicely as well. To be fair, that other pic was from Louisiana. Not sure if it was a one-off, or if others arrived in similar fashion....

Btw anyone a bit weirded out that Crosshairs has the cartoon/comics head and not his toy-accurate head when usually Hasbro tend more toward the toy designs. Maybe its because his regular head design was too much like Ironhide?

I think they've gone more cartoon lately, especially with the SIEGE line. Both molds and decos. (But not without some "misses" like Soundwave's visor.)
That's why the brand unification thing doesn't really bother me as much anymore and why SIEGE is so tempting.

On the official Transformers Amazon store, Reflector is $30 while Brunt and the rest of the Deluxes are $20, what am I missing here?
Isn't it enough that we have to get three exact copies of the same action-figure in order to get the full character?
BTW, anyone got him yet? Any good?
