Is it just me or are those deluxe and voyager prices a little too high?
Legends voyagers were going for about 4190 yen while deluxes were going for 3040 yen. And those were the ones that came with extra targetmasters and headmasters. So what's the deal here? Even the double pack of little guys seem a little high too since legends sized legends figures were 1520 yen and came with a headmaster.
Or is this normal now and I just haven't noticed since I haven't paid attention to mainline Takara prices since the "unification".

Considering the Legends Target Masters came with their partners I find it funny they are now getting individual releases over there for inferior versions of what they already have.

To be fair, there's no reason not to release them, the molds are paid for so might as well see what they can get with them.

What I'd really like to see now is some good scaling shots of the Siege figures. How tall is Ironhide next to Optimus Prime, or Hound? I'm hoping that we get some good variance in height in each size class, a la the Studio Series, so even though characters like Ironhide and Ratchet are only "Deluxe" figures, they could be larger than the "average" Deluxe, like say, Sideswipe or Prowl. I also want to see how these figures compare in size to earlier Generations figures. I'm hoping the increased price point translates into a little more size back after the downscaling from T30 and the Prime Wars Trilogy.

I'd like to see a new Elita-1 in this line. I want to know what her Cybertronian Alt-mode was.

She looks like this:
She kinda looks like a cross between Blurr and Arcee.
You know, if they could redeco the Titans Return Arcee mold with some more red highlighting and remold the Titan Master face plate, that would make a pretty good Deluxe sized Elita One in my book.

Or they could do a new Elita One figure based off of the unused Leader Class Arcee from Potp. Remember, they did say that all of the candidates for Potp's new Prime were already designed, so just take a majority of cues from that (seemingly similar to how Ultra Magnus and Shockwave did if those are the same designs,) and retool it a slight bit to resemble Elita One. It'd be a good way to use a mold and design that would probably never be used, as the idea of a Leader Class Arcee without any explanation would be rather unusual.
They would probably treat her like Shockwave, the smaller, voyager scaled figure is the actual character, while the extra bits that make her a leader are just that, extra bit to help her be more powerful in battle.

I had completely forgotten that she transformed in that episode. Also, a retooled TR Arcee would be perfect. They would probably rework it so she's not a headmaster since there's no gimmick stuff.Wolfman Jake wrote:Decepticon Stryker wrote:I'd like to see a new Elita-1 in this line.

Seibertron.com has some nice exclusive content for you. We got our hands on Transformers War for Cybertron Siege voyagers Optimus Prime and Megatron. So below you will see several in hand images which also includes the back of the box, which we had not seen so far. Also, with these images you will see something quite interesting, the paint apps do differ from figure to figure. As you will see, none of the battle damage is consistent across the figures. The placement is but the thickness and amount will differ making each figure unique.
These toys are shipping from distributors/wholesalers so these toys should be out at retail soon. There have already been sightings in comic book stores in California and Texas, further proving that distributors, such as Diamond, have gotten their stock to ship to retailers.

We have some more Seibertron.com content for you. While we have several in hand images showing us the variation in deco from figure to figure, we also have a video review for both Transformers War For Cybertron Siege voyagers Optimus Prime and Megatron. These are currently being shipped to distributors (and in turn retailers) and can be found at comic book stores right now and will be found at big box retailers soon. The video review includes a look at the figures in package, along with features, a critical review, and the transformation.
Also, we have from a private source the case breakdown of the first wave of Seige. Optimus Prime and Megatron are of course evenly split in a case and it is also evenly split for the deluxes (Hound, Sideswipe, Flywheels and Cog) and battlemasters (Blowpipe, Lionizer and Firedrive). However it is not an equal split for the Micromasters where the Decepticon Airstrike is two per case while Autobot Race Car Patrol and Autobot Battle Patrol are each three per case.
Enjoy the review below and please let us know if you spot any Siege toy at a big box store.

Well, crap. Up till now I was actually going to pass on both Megs and OP. These photos are making me question my decision. Despite being disappointed that Has/Tak didn’t take the opportunity to do anything new or creative with their Cybertronian alt modes, these figures do look awfully nice. And I can’t be surprised by their appearance, with the companys’ push to solidify their more evergreen designs across the various lines.
I have to say that the package design looks phenomenal. I generally only keep boxes and card backings for older toys, or for big box sets/exclusives. I think the only other exception is the SS line. But I’m definitely keeping these boxes. I dig the wedge shapes. I think they’re going to help these stand out on shelves. The artwork on these is what puts these over the top. It looks great. This is some beautiful product design.

Hmmmmm,,
I HATE The Packaging Shape, attractive styling visuals. But Dumb shape.
Im A Big Fan of How CW Ultra Magnus Looked in the package; Such A fan, I Never took it out of the box (after finding out there's NO waist SWIVEL & all, rip off Leader class), cause the "money look" w/ that figure is it sitting on my shelf- IN THE BOX (Un-opened)
Thus im Looking Frwrd> to the New 2019 Hasbro MAGNUS offering.
A
Shopping at TARGET/ Waly World & I come across that OP. Its getting throw in the cart. I don't care who im shopping w/.
>> But, I'll pass on that Megs though,
1.) I hate the Legs (which were great on the TiTan Wars Galvatron).
2.) Meg's entire head sculp is B-A-D! Its Off, its to Wide and to squashed looking. & also there's To much forhead black! Last years PoP. Voyager was Waay better!
QUESTION:
In the comparison shot w/ Megs standing there w/ CW LC. WHAT MEG'S IS IN THE BACKGROUND? The New MP.? Because it Looks taller than MP.10 (unless im way off, being that my eyeballing could be off, only buying cheap Hasbro's & the occasional 3rd Party). I say that cause if those our both the MP's,, THEY MESSED UP BiG TIME- Making Megatron Taller than OP! WtF! Megs needs to be alittle wider & more imposing, Yes..
BUT MEGS IS NOT "G1" TALLER THAN PRIME.

Seeing theses weaponizers in action, they really do look great. Lots of paint on the weapons like the thrilling 30 struff. Am I the only one that feels like fisitron/ironfist feels like the perfect fit for this line? Still doubful on a rack 'n ruin though.

Alright first of all you should try to stay a bit more on topic, and second of all I don't think people liking this Megatron is part of the acceptance factor. Personally I quite like the way it looks and for those like myself who haven't had many options for a reasonably priced voyager Megatron (that isn't just a grey Blitzwing) this is a great option. He isn't perfect but it is unreasonable to expect him to be.

I think it would depend on where the battle damage is. On top of unpainted plastic and you're good to go, if it's on top of other paint it will be much harder.

On some figures yeah, it mostly comes off, but on paint-savvy figures, especially Soundwave, it will be extremely difficult because there is paint on top of other paint, which are important details. So be careful or be prepared to do some repainting yourself

It was about an 8 hour process start to finish to get the video and pics done that I did yesterday. The comparison pictures was just something I had overlooked during my mad dash to get this stuff done as fast as possible. If you guys would like, I can take some photos of Siege Optimus Prime and Megatron next to other versions of those characters, along with each other. I haven't put them away yet.

I think this Megatron is pretty great. The only problems I have with it boils down to wanting to see this mold with a silver paint job, wishing the peg hole in his forearms wasn't a see-through hole, and wishing the peg holes on the tank treads were in a lower position on his back so that the rear cannon could sit lower like it should. Other than that, I think this is an absolutely fantastic Megatron. I love his headsculpt, which I'm shocked to see some of you not liking for some odd reason. It's a better sculpt, in my opinion, than Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron, whose head is too big and too cartoonish.
These versions of Megatron and Optimus Prime remind me of their Studio Ox models, which I am a huge fan of, though Optimus has the more G1 cartoon model antenna.

I keep swaying on the Optimus, I'm thinking I will pick it up on sale or pre-owned and chop off the arm/back kibble. I think I would prefer action masters over stuff with alts that aren't to my liking or non cybertronian in this range.
Megatrons battle damage/mud paint just looks odd. I think I will be picking him up as my TR Megatron is in Jet mode leading the classic seekers but the paint will have to go on the chest/grey areas.

Great review Ryan! Wish you had more time to do these kinds of videos. I prefer listening to you ad looking at your photography over a lot of the the other reviewers out there. But maybe I'm just biased to my hometown (seibertron.com) posse.
I'm still at an impasse with this line. I'm loving it all but space is running out. I have so many versions of some of these characters that I still really enjoy playing with and displaying that it's hard to commit to more of the same. Was planning to cherry pick this line, but after seeing this, I'm not sure I can. Both these leader characters just look so dang stinking GOOD!

Disappointed that the Optimus transformation is so complex, and he seems way too much like a shellformer with that backpack. I stopped buying Masterpiece figures because transforming them took too long and often wasn't fun, and contemporary Generations has been more satisfying by comparison. This seems like a step in the wrong direction.
That said, it's a great looking robot at that price, and the various play features add some value too. I'm definitely still going to get it, and I'm sure I'll be happy with it overall.

I want to get these guys regardles I've missed out on most of the generations line so I do t have them yet... atleast in G1 esque form). Also if it can could you post a couple pictures?
