While I don't like Rung as a character at all I can definitely appreciate the uniqueness of his mold and the fact it came out in Siege, of all things. Still totally planning to sand down his face and turn him into protoforms/stasis pods. :twisted:

Thats just mean, what did the first Transformer ever (in IDW ver 1 at least) do to you :-P

Still, an awesome plan for a custom, it'd be interesting for hasbro to make protoform toys at one point for army building. Just call them blanks and be done with it.

Different strokes for different folks

I had no problems with him and I liked him being Primus, especially since other then the ability to regenerate (a bet limited) and creating matrixes, he wasn't specially powerful which worked well with what Shockwave was laying down in the other book about the Primes as he created them in a weird bootstrap paradox. Yeah though I can understand some not liking him.

I love Rung like crazy come on he’s one of the best creations from one of the most thoughtful Transformers writers ever the only bummer is they didn’t go full Deluxe Weaponizer with him. But hey that’s just my opinion :lol:

‘Best’ can be debated till the end of time as an old collector I realize that, but for me personally I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotionally invested in a comic and the characters. It just connected with me like nothing else. i really miss it. I miss them.

Best is entirely subjective to individuals, but that's my opinion. It's the only comic i consistently reread and thoroughly enjoy during every reread :lol:

From what I remember Primus wasn't even a "god" in IDW just one of the earliest Transformers, hell the actual guy wasn't a planet former just a normal sized dude who was part of a group of 4 other dudes.

He wasn't even strong or anything, the one thing he could do was poop crystals out of himself.

Those who ordered Ratchet as soon as it became available on the Walgreen's website should be receiving theirs as I was one of them and mine showed up today. In a separate shipment I received Singe and Pteraxadon. I wish Hasbro's battle masters had knees like the Targetmasters that came with Takara's legends. I'm sure something had to give so they could include the blast effects but look at these two, patiently waiting for the bus.

If it was up to me running this trilogy I'd have Battlemasters (and effects) blind bags and every mold available in 3-4 colors and each mold would have at least 2-3 permutation of the barrel. If it was up to me I'd have these guys so produced the molds would fall apart! :lol:

You had me until the whole blind bagging. I definitely feel there should've been more barrel options, especially of the single variety.

Well, you found the sure fire way :lol:

I have the worst luck with blind bags so I'd practically never get Rung, but I'd get 9 Firedrives so at least there's that :lol:

Well, I'm sure those multicolored Firedrive could make interesting partners to various Siege figures depending on the color scheme. Speaking of color scheme on Battlemasters: I've swapped limbs around and ended up with spare parts taking the form of a Caliburst with blue limbs and barrel. It looks really cool.

Glad this toy exists, still really really really want a normal sized one. Would have been totally fine with a retooling of PotP Moonracer or Firestar as a start! Just worried that with Rung being a tail-ender in the price class for Siege that's had the worst distribution that he's destined for slow sales by default, which could be all someone needs to justify not making more versions of him. Hopefully I'm overthinking it

I might still end up with a regular Rung purely because he come in a two pack of his wavemate online, dude. This is just a callback to me planning to use any spare Rungs and to turn him into a protoform with a stasis pod because this is what he remind me, what with his big round spark-shaped crystalline structure in the middle and his altmode looking ovoid.

I'm not going to be actually defacing some Rungs to spite on IDW fanboys, I'm just planning to get 3-4 spare ones if I can because I got an interesting custom idea for him. >:oP

Posted by Skritz on November 4th, 2019 @ 7:03pm CST

By the way, given the flak I've gotten for saying I was going to 'deface Rung' allow me to explain. I will take spare Rungs (since, given he's a late wave in a size class that sell poorly in my area he should eventually be found taking space at retail) and smooth out his face with some putty. Then I will cover the whole thing in gunmetal or silver.

As much as I dislike James Robert's writing fumble, you could argue I'm still playing into the part that Rung=the first if I use him as a basis for Protoforms, right? :-?

Skritz wrote:*lots of good stuff defending their idea*

I'll be honest, seeing the flak you've been getting, I'm disappointed. Your idea to customize Rung is really smart, and definitely not one I would have thought of, but it's a really good idea. But, because it's an IDW character, suddenly you're a villain. Every custom figure needs a base, unless you feel like 3D printing essentially a new figure. Different figures get customized into different characters all the time, and yet I've not seen anyone complain when that happens. I didn't see any of your comments as spiteful towards IDW or Rung, but rather just a joking comment on your distaste towards Rung's true identity. Just my take on everything, and honestly, if you buy all the Rungs, Hasbro doesn't see what happens after, so they may just think people love IDW and start throwing out more figures based on IDW designs. As far as I see it, you win by getting to have a fun little project of making custom Protoforms, and fans of IDW might win because the designs may end up getting official toys. Especially seeing the model kit for IDW Megatron

Re: New Gallery: War for Cybertron Battle Master Rung (2043790)
Posted by Skritz on November 4th, 2019 @ 10:16pm CST

I honestly didn't pick Rung as a custom base because of the character, yeah. He's just the mold that fits. However its really funny for me to joke about 'defacing someone's self-insert' with sandpaper or a dremel tool like I'm some sort of mutilating maniac! Truthfully I'm hardly someone who hate 100% IDW, what with wanting Thunderclash when, lets be real, nobody cared about Thunderclash before IDW comics.

Nice. I’ll have to try that.

Is anyone else’s Ratchet super loose? I didn’t pick up Ironhide and I know tightness varies from figure to figure, but he’s definitely the loosest Siege figure I own.

The waist is fairly loose, much looser than Ironhide. Everything else seems normal/acceptable. Fortunately the waist doesn't affect any of the poses or transformation. Alt mode is fine because of the side panes and such.

I can't put a finger on it, but I prefer Ratchet over Ironhide in this mold.

I got Ratchet first and he is pretty tight. Got Ironhide after and was surprised by how loose the hips feel.

Hm. Maybe it’s just mine then. In addition to the waist, my Ratchet’s knees (especially) and elbows are less-than-desirably tight. My only real quality issue with a Siege figure so far (well, considering I did a minor preventative fix on Slamdance, so I don’t count him).

QC is always a dice roll. You can always try and find another and return the loose one. I do that all the time after checking the new one and doing any part swaps 8-)

My Ratchet is fine. Its Ironhide who has joints too tight.

Re: New Gallery: War for Cybertron Battle Master Rung (2043858)
Posted by Wolfman Jake on November 5th, 2019 @ 1:14pm CST

My Ratchet has perfectly solid joints, not loose and not too tight. He holds a pose without any issue, and I never feel like I'm forcing anything during transformation between modes. My Ironhide is the same, except for the leg panels that like to pop off. That issue got better once I used the small screwdriver trick to help widen the holes slightly for the friction pegs. Ratchet's leg panels have never popped off. He's a solid figure through and through.

I’m really happy with Smokescreen. I agree with others that the mold is one of the worst from Siege, but it’s not bad overall. The racing paint looks great on the alt mode and the fact he came with three weapons is a win in my book.

Smokescreen's deco is really great, fun and sporty, but I have to give the "who wore it best" award to Bluestreak. That deco is just pure sex. Everyone else has made it to shelves, but Streak is still camping out on my desk.

Went to the dentist and stopped at the Walgreen's next door. I saw these three with Ratchet kinda tossed back in the shelf sorta hidden like. I already got mine and with him out of stock online I decided to leave him for another lucky individual.
Seeing the single Refraktor makes me wonder if anyone picked up just one besides kids and parents who wouldn't know about the combined camera mode.

I live in a smaller market, but I’ve never seen more than one Refraktor at once anywhere. My closest Walgreens currently has one and I‘ve been debating whether or not to pick him up. I have the Reconnaissance Team set, but would really like all decos.

I have the reconnaissance team and 3 of the regular release (yeah, I like to army build, especially cons). I'd say go for it. The regular release is a really nice deco, plus you can have the regular release be the photographer when the other 3 are in camera mode.

My suggestion as well.

Also, I got Ratchet but yet to release him, but I can already see the leg panel popping off, just like Ironhide.

I'd free him and see if it is anything to worry about. By all accounts that I've seen (and my own ratchet) the leg panel issues seemed to have been resolved. I wonder if they might have tied the plastic strap a little too tight on your figure and that is the reason it might be popping off in package.
