The siege continues, fellow Seibertronians! Courtesy of In Demand Toys, we have for you a set of pictures of the Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy - SIEGE Wave 2 Deluxes and Battle Masters in package! The second wave of Deluxes consists of Ironhide, Prowl, Chromia, and Sixgun. The second wave of Battle Masters will give us Aimless, the traditional Targetmaster partner to Misfire, and introduce the new Autobot-allied Pteraxadon, the Pterodactyl axe! Clever, Hasbro! Enjoy the pics below!













As we can see, Ironhide is fully painted, with a nice rich, red paint finish and properly colored forearms, unlike the sample seen recently at Tokyo Comic Con 2018. Have these pictures piqued your interest? Are you going all in on this second wave of the Siege line? Let us know in the comments below, and keep checking back here at Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

Prowl looks good, except for all the yellow. God, why is there yellow on Prowl? But I’ll be getting him anyway. And thank Primus they painted Ironhide properly, he actually looks really nice. If he’s not too short I’d like to pick him up too.

There's so much yellow on him, I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out!

Because it's precious.

I just really hate yellow sometimes. I dunno. What’s weird is that I love my MP-34 Cheetor, I’m okay with the yellow on Nightbeat, and my favorite X-Men uniforms (90s Jim Lee designs) all have healthy doses of yellow. It’s an out of place double standard, I know. Just...ugh. I’ll be painting over the yellow on Prowl.

What I didn’t realize though is that SixGun is not a redeco of Cog. It looks like his legs are similar, but that’s about it. So I’ll probably be getting him too.

Well that yellow is pretty loud, so let's hope it's toned down a bit under normal lights. Hey, you get to have a preference and a quick over coat of gold would be pretty easy.

I wonder how similar Cog and Sixgun's engineering will be and will we be able to make frankenbots out of them and Brunt? Talk about easy Siege Junkions!

You hadn't seen him yet? He's wholly original and even cooler; it does, however use two of sideswipes' red guns

It's a few small accents: a small yellow chevron on each arm, two small yellow stripes on his waist, and a small yellow triangle on his pelvis. It's hardly "so much yellow"
And these are all based on decals the original Prowl toy had, as has been demonstrated.

There's a particular reason behind those arm chevrons, too: they're meant to look like an officer's rank stripes.

Not sure on Sixgun, but I do have some frankenbot fun planned once my "We Three Cogs of Hasbro Toy Shop" arrive. Photos sure to follow.

Big Bad has a bunch of new pics and preorders up

Has anyone else reflected on how the Leader Optimus' inner robot is essentially a fancy version of the Burger King toy of Cybertron Optimus with a G1 head?

I think I may know why. That yellow seen there on Siege Prowl is a loud, slightly greenish tinted shade of yellow, whereas the yellow seen on most of those other examples you listed are more of a golden or American cheese shade of yellow. Warmer yellow as opposed to cooler yellow.

Awesome! Can't wait to get Soundwave, even if his alt mode looks like a flying dumpster

I need Six-Gun but given the UK market"s ability to skip certain waves, I may order him from Kapow. Don't forget people who want him: you can have a character stand on him in Alt mode as well.

I hope the yellow paint looks a little better under more "natural" lighting. I do get why some people don't like all the yellow hightlights, though. The original decals for the G1 toy were only outlined in yellow on the pelvis. They should primarily be silver or gray for the squiggles on either side and red for the triangle in the middle. This feels quite lazy on Hasbro's part, honestly. I do like that addition of the yellow chevrons on the biceps, though, as those are accurate G1 sticker details and also, as someone mentioned earlier, a way to show Prowl's ranking as a police officer. If they had just used some red and silver on the pelvis and a richer light blue clear plastic for the car windows, Siege Prowl would have looked pretty much perfect...although, some blue headlights and some red break lights would have helped quite a bit too.

It is a bit lazy, yeah.

I think the greenish tinge might come from painting yellow onto black plastic

You know, the small and sunken-in look of the Magnus cab isn't much of an issue if you imagine it just moving in a straight line on a battlefield, just plowing through rubble like it ain't there. Like a tank on wheels. What I'm saying is: that vehicle mode looks brutal as fuck and is probably the most fitting of the war theme.

That Shockwave just keeps growing on me, Um as well, especially with the Cybertron Prime guns just connected there like that...Wait, does that mean they'll be the only guns Prime has? Will there be enough parts count to give him all the fire power Cybertron Prime had?

I won't buy much for this line. But I seriously NEED that Ultra Magnus and that Sixgun is mandatory for my Generations Metroplex.

How you know you're part of the problem when it comes to repaints with new heads: When you look at Chromia, and your first thought is "Hey, that mold could kinda work for Arcee" I do like the new figures, and though I only plan to pick up Ironhide and Sixgun from this wave of Deluxes, I will admit I'm slowly being tempted by that Chromia. I may end up buying her, but then I have to think about how I want my displays set up. Does she go in the WFC display, or with Elita and the other fembots? Hm... Decisions decisions

Btw I was wondering: is 'Cabnus' Weaponizer-compatible?

Skritz wrote:Btw I was wondering: is 'Cabnus' Weaponizer-compatible?

IF I'm interpreting "Cabnus" correctly, I'm guessing you are talking about old Whitey McPRime?


Went back a few pages to look at this pic, and while his appendages are all turned so we can't see the outer surfaces, it wasn't much help other than the two 5mm ports on his shoulders. But, judging by the play pattern for the entire line, and the likelihood that his trailer pieces attach via 5mm ports, I'm gonna go with, YES! Or at least a heavy, probably.

Okay thanks. Guess I'll only know for sure if he has any decent weaponizer setup once I fiddle with him and a Weaponizer.

So what I'm now curious about is where did the blue bumper butt go in this picture? That's the one thing I dislike most about this Magnus and am slightly worried about with the potential Optimus remold, but I'm wondering now if it comes off, or folds away or something because I don't see it here. I'd be really happy if it can fold up or something, looks pretty awkward otherwise.

Oh man those were sweet pics of Shockwave...thank you!


So in the wake of these great deals from HTS can someone explain why 2 deluxe figures from Siege cost me $21 each?? I clearly missed the memo. I had to stop my wallet from jumping out of my pocket and running out the damn store.

The retail for the Siege deluxes is $19.99. HTS has them erroneously listed at $9.99, that is the reason the price is so vastly different.

Having some fun converting with the backwards compatibility of some figures:

Okay point but why are Siege deluxe figures are more than POTP deluxe figures, why? Is it simple economics or something else and please don't say it's the damn packaging that has added to the cost.

More paint used, higher parts count, more complex transformations (higher R&D costs), plus the general rising cost of Transformers toys to meet inflation. Studio Series figures are already $19.99 for Deluxes. Generations was just lagging behind a bit.

Thanks to sponsor sites such as Big Bad Toy Store and TFSource, we have Hasbro stock photos of the Siege: War for Cybertron Trilogy Wave 2 figures! This included Battle Masters Aimless and Pteraxadon, Micromasters Red Heat, Stakeout, Ravage, and Laserbeak, Deluxe Class Ironhide, Chromia, Six-Gun, and Prowl, and finally, Voyager Class Starscream and Soundwave. These stock photos nicely show these upcoming toys for next year! Big Bad Toy Store also has the names of all the weapons included, and accessories.

So, do these stock photos make you like these toys more, or less? Tell us in the Pub forums below!

Pretty sure it just pops off and snaps back on, though.

Really not feeling Chromia's VHS (visible head syndrome). I'm sure her head is turned the wrong way, but it isn't very well hidden.

Well that's just awesome! I must've missed that picture. This actually makes me want Magnus a lot more now. Shockwave is still the leader I want first but I'll probably get Magnus or the Optimus retool/repaint of him.

Soundwave's gonna be the firt figure in this line that I try to mess with removing battle damage from, simply because of his chest compartment. That's the only area I have issue with because it just looks... Weird, seeing Soundwave with that much damage when some of the Bots I'd expect to be in more battles like Megs have such minimal battle damage that it's that not too bad unless you're looking. I hope he gets the Magnus treatment with the amount being toned down before release, but I doubt that's happening because these look final and ready to ship

Sixgun and Starscream are obvious must haves for me.

I'm going to skip on Soundwave because WTF am I looking at? There's no way this pile of random garbage is his altmode. Look like someone tried to transform the thing and gave up halfway through.

It's because they didn't think it would make sense for him to literally turn into a cassette player given the whole "pre-Earth" thing for this line, and they didn't think "Cybertronian lamp post" would be a compelling official alternate mode to people that aren't aware of the source of that.

Basically, he transforms into the lamp post, but because they felt they needed something more "exciting" for the general audience and kids, they reconfigured it a bit into a "spaceship".

I think one of the Hasbro guys said it's a Cybertron patrol Ship. Why they didn't make him a truck like the War + Fall games is beyond me.

I can poop a better looking spaceship than that. Now we are back at the movieverse "Cybertronian" random crap. The most shocking is Sixgun, Starscream, and Shockwave are Cybertronian spaceships and they ROCK their altmodes.


Soundwave could have taken a clue from an alternate universe. that same bot mode could easily have been a square tank of some sort. Way more appropriate for the character. And a genius designer would have squeezed in a "secret" tape-deck "fan-mode".

Soundwave's alt mode is what most spacecraft look like in the (technically) Siege comic. I'm guessing they did that to make Soundwave stand out less.
