New Video Review of Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Deluxe Class Weaponizer Brunt

Skritz wrote:Since I've been told many times that our opinions as grognard fans has no common group with what a kid think: what DO kids think of Siege so far? Does anyone here have kids that play with the Siege toys? Do they find them cool? Or is this truly just a line for crusty grognards. Just wondering.

When I got older (grognard) I gained a lot more appreciation and love for his work and what it meant, not just how it looked. Appreciation and criticism all comes from a perspective sometimes that perspective changes in time - retro and classic become stylish terms know what I mean? I think I appreciate it getting them into the fandom at all then we can get our greedy grognard gloves on em and help steer them where to go what to see all the different awesome perspectives of the Transformer world. Bring us your Bayformers your tired and weary, let us show you the way

How well does he connect to Trypticon?

I was just responding to Skritz and getting overly sappy about it. I get too wordy sometimes that’s me eye rolling at myself.

I think Siege is great on so many levels as a fan it would be such a bummer to hear younger fans think it’s ‘meh’ I mean I would have loved these as a kid but we had a cartoon and comics and the works. This has a cartoon in the works to be released super timely like CW/TR/PotP and a comic that nobody’s loving.

It's really only Energon and some of Cybertron that had all those homages. Armada was predominately new stuff, while Energon was the 20th anniversary line and Cybertron just sprinkled in some of that same nostalgia.

00Stargrave00 wrote:Pretty much all of the names from Armada well placed or not were all pulled from previous series, even the Minicons.

Coming back to Siege, I came across an odd sight the other day. I was out in Newcastle, and happened upon their big Forbidden Planet store (importer shop) they had Siege deluxes in, but there was one problem, they were all Six Gun, all twelve of them!

I'm not a huge fan of the Weaponizer Gimmick, and because of it Brunt siffers from Parts Forming, but I throughly enjoy his figure, and I love it just as much as I do Cog, maybe more. Sixgun has the cooler Vehicle mode, even though he doesnt match the legends Scamper, but Brunt is in no way any weaker than the other 2. And the Stormbringer reference adds coolness points

Intetesting, that would mean there were solid cases. And yet there is no listing of such a thing anywhere.

I took it to mean that poor six gun was the toy no one wanted from that wave

They did have Starscream and Soundwave in mind, representing the voyagers and just the Wave one leaders, which was more then what I was expecting.

yeah all the weaponizers so far have been warming in my area, they've easily been the least popular of each wave

Skythread is easily the toy I see most still on the shelves. For wave 2, it's been chromia and six gun. But I think that all boils down simply to popularity with both the kids, fans and most importantly parents who buy for kids. Everyone of these characters was not in the G1 cartoon.

Chromia and Sixgun were in the cartoon, but only in one episode each (Chromia debuted in the cartoon, even). As for Flywheels, footage of him from his toy commercial was used in the opening theme song of Season 4 "The Rebirth", but yeah, he wasn't in the actual episodes themselves.

That's interesting, the weaponizers were actually the fastest movers for each wave in my area. Poor Skytread and Chromia were the slow sellers near me, but even those I wouldn't consider shelf warmers, as Siege has been moving pretty well here.

Same for me, the weaponizers are almost always gone whenever I check the store. I've only seen one sixgun when searching, and I do not recall ever seeing any cogs.

For me, Siege ravage is simply TR Ravage and TR Howlback's little kitten. As flawed as TR Ravage is, size-wise I like him better with Siege Soundwave. TR Ravage is just a little too big scale-wise

And, for those wondering, yes, "Gilthor" is his name. We finally have official confirmation from his creator, Masumi Kaneda, on how to spell his name in English (the "h" is silent, so it is still spoken like "gill-tor").
