Transformers War for Cybertron Omega Supreme In Stock at Big Bad Toy Store

Hasn’t this been up for preorder for months now?

Yes, since like February. The news Flashwave actually dropped was that it is actually in stock at BBTS, not on pre-order.

I don't think the cell shading looks as good on Megatron as it does on Optimus. On Megatron, it looks more like camo or dirt than anything. Overall, I like the cell-shaded Megatron scheme more than the regular battle-worn scheme.

Gotta save up my money for this. I've been waiting for an Omega Supreme figure like this for a very long time!

EDIT: Didn't occur to me I was replying to the same topic twice

I bet they get a lot of negative reviews from people thinking they're somehow getting the Target exclusive 10 pack at this price even though it's obviously the wrong photos.

Emerje

I already know of 2 people who are planning on trying to get a free 10-pack from Amazon or a refund without product return

Dangitall! Flashwave must've beat me to it barely. I got the email this morning about 1015AM CST and ordered it before 1030 CST, sending the news notice moments later...


FLLLLAAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHWWAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I have paid full price for two titans, and I've bitterly regretted it. So unless I can find Omega for less than 80 bucks, he is, sadly, a pass from me.

I'm going to be waiting too, for some other reasons considering when Omega is coming out compared to some things happening elsewhere. Hopefully he's still available in the new year considering his late release

So, I jumped on the news as soon as I read this last night. I ordered Omega, then my excitement quickly turned to dread as I realized a big issue. In my rush, I forgot that the stored address is my old address! Their customer support isn't open until Monday, so now I'm praying I can get this fixed before a $160 toy gets sent to the wrong state!

This makes me oddly warm and fulfilled in my cold, lightless spark.

Mwahahaha

But I actually dropped the News Notice late Friday Night, after cancelling my Amazon PreOrder. Although given the rate at how quickly BBTS rolls things out the door, Amazon's October release date might still have been faster.

I was actually half afraid by the time the News went live BBTS would have sold out.

Can't you just cancel it, change your address and re-order it, I'm pretty sure they don't work until early monday morning? Also, I think you can still edit the order details until it ships, give it a try

Some fresh image for Apeface

Lore Keeper, I wouldn't sweat it. The have pretty ridiculous work hours. Something like 11 AM to 3 PM, and they usually don't ship anything until at least 3 days after you hit the ship button. I bet you have ample time to get a message through to them.

Bot and ape modes are magnificent, but that jet mode. Dafok dey did?
A big square with wings and a nosecone. Like those TR "cassettes".



This sucker will buy Siege Apeface anyway, but this make the G1 original even more precious. Plus my desire for a MP Apeface is stronger than before.


BTW, the ape feet at the back, I tilt them back one click for them to act as proper extra tailfins.

Nice.

The jet deco could use some tweaking, the cockpit area, but otherwise they got everything else mostly right, it seems.

Re-posting my Apeface chart --



There's a thread here titled "The TF you want but you know HasTak will NEVER make" and I must say that it doesn't apply to me. They're making everything that I've wanted, it's almost as though they're reading and working off my wishlist, maybe even in the order of the requests. I'm sure Snapdragon and the remaining Autobot Targetmasters will follow.

I loved looking at the battle scenes on the back of the packages.



Getting all the characters/toys I didn't have as a kid.

G1 have the jet mode.
Siege have the bot mode.
And both have an acceptable ape mode.

Apeface is looking great. Pre-ordered him off Amazon because there's no way I'm risking scalpers and never seeing him in stores

FYI the Chosen Prime has Siege Sound Blaster in stock

For those of you who are interested

Hi guys :} I'm a new member,. Old guy from Australia,. Kinder into Siege atm,.. Wanted to show some repaints,.. hope that's cool

I had to do a double take on this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Roa ... EZP747WYN2?tag=seibertron07-20&

Usually Amazon themselves don't get pictures (obviously the description says Road Patrol). Unfortunately THIS being a Target exclusive, its probably not a mater of *Hey you shipped me the wrong thing*, best case scenario, you would probably just get your $10 refunded, not really a chance of getting this actual item for $10...

You'll just get the off road patrol. You can see what people got in the images in the comments section.

Anyone have got any good fan-modes for Reflector? I've seen people achieve Perceptor & Soundwave like alt-modes, and a big robot made of maybe six Reflector bodies.

But extra points for something like this --





BTW transformed him into his "individual" mode today for the first time. Not exactly sure what it's supposed to be (a space ship?) but was impressed with all the tabs.

Dont think that would be possible even with all the milliputty in the world. Though you can give ultra magnus soundwaves weapons on his shoulders, transforming him into Ultrasound...he can then determine if a protoform is going to be autobot or decepticon.

Unfortunately it holds together by imagination and sheer luck rather than anything tabbing in,

Oh, cool. It's nice to see how the head works. Though, don't know if it's just how Takara has everything lit for promo shots, but Apeface's white plastic just looks iffy to me

Shame about jet mode, and the battledamge looks like bot modes been rolling around in glitter. Definitely picking him up though and looking forward to a snap dragon to go with him.

Wait, you mean there’s not glitter on the Cybertronian battlefields?

So I got the SDCC Reflector set the other day, and I gotta say, I love it. Play value and 'fun' are not things I really care about in my figures anymore. My life is far busier than it used to be, and my figures are pretty much just display piece these days.

That said, this set is fun, a lot of fun. The different colors really set it apart from what I see as the blandness and just plain boring nature of the Siege line.

I love it, couldn't recommend it more.

I wasnt saying it as a bad thing, part of me likes it, part of me doesn't and then there is the part of me that would totally be rolling around in glitter when ever I get the chance to do so. Thats why I dont have pritt stick in the house.
(If they ever do licenced botbots...)

For me too. Look more like candle wax than anything else. It's weird. Let's hope the in-hand pictures are better.

I still can't get over that garbage "jet" mode, but the PERFECT robot mode and that rocking ape mode more than compensate for that flaw.

Takara's stock photos of Jetfire had this effect too. Looked a lot darker than the figure actually is.

I've been noticing this a lot since brand unification, Takara's stock photos of general releases seem to be darker and not always good representations of the final product. Generally Takara does better stock photos in terms of showing off the figure, but Hasbro seems to do better at balancing the lighting to make it look closer to the final product

I think it all started when they showed Megatron holding his Fusion Cannon.

I think that white has that opalescence, or sparkle fleck in it.

I want apeface even more now. That monkey face without mouth can be used as an original character face, in case anyone wants to do a custom OC with TR molds as a base.
A bit annoyed with the robot arm clearly hanging on the monkey leg, but i guess it is G1 accurate, so that is where everyone wants it to be. Eh, oh well.

Takara has new images for the upcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Siege voyager Apeface, deluxe Crosshairs and Micromasters combiner Direct Hit and Power Punch. These give us our best look at the finished deco and what that might look like in unfavourable lighting conditions, as you will see. While Apeface's white may look too off white, it might just be that it is pearlescent. We also see what the battle damage will look like on his legs, along with a good look at this jet mode. As with all triple changers, one mode will always get the short straw and as with his G1 toy and any Braodside toy, it is the jet mode. We do get to see exactly what the Titan Master turns into. Crosswise is a redeco of Ironhide with a new head and sports some pretty cool tampographs that give callbacks to the original toy.

These are due out for the 2019 holiday season at all retailers that carry

*Crosshairs

Crosswise?

I think Apeface continues to look good, save for the white looking weird in that lighting and his ape neck being mistransformed by the looks of it. I'm still a bit hesitant to use Takara's stock photos as proof of final color schemes though, after the unpainted guns they showed with Magnus and Brunt.

Only want Apeface.

Apeface and Crosshairs look great! Want! the duo minicon...no thanks....look ugly...the weapon mode is just put them on a shoulder in car-mode...no, thanks! Harbro can make it better IMO

Sigh... I wanted to like Apeface. I had the G1 version back in the day. But after 30 years, this was seriously the best they could do? Lawful heart, that off-white plastic looks like badly melted cheese.

We will have to wait for the in-hand pictures to she his real colors. Maybe that candle-wax white will not be so bad.

Also, after playing around with Siege Ratchet, I really want Crosswise and Ironhide. That mold is awesome in it's simplicity.

Will, you accidentally called Crosshairs "Crosswise" at one point. I'm pretty sure he is not a monster-hunting Bugatti Veyron

That is DEFINITELY a pearlescent white on Apeface. Only pearlescent plastic has that sheen. It should look just fine in person. I mean, it looks great on this guy:

As for the chunky jet mode... Since they were going for resemblance to the G1 design, there was no helping it on account of the twonk who designed the original giving him oblong beast limbs. A larger wingspan would probably help the looks, but price point strictures are a thing.,, All the same, Apeface is still a "Shut up and take my money" toy for me.

Speaking of "Shut up and take my money"...

Recently acquired Springer, and I find him a joy to look at and play with.


As far as I'm concerned regarding Springer: SIEGE Rules, Thrilling 30 drools!


Well, okay, the transforming rotor sword is nice. But occasionally lending that to SIEGE Springer is the ONLY thing keeping me from putting the T30 version (which I only bought as filler) up for trade.

Powertrain, Highjump, and Red Heat are lacking Autobrands. What the hell time to commit or get off the cyberpotty now come on troops.

Shockwave stands in solidarity as the only Siege figure to not have red on him. I’m telling you Siege is like 70% red.

Anyone else notice that bizarre double sided Headmaster? Or am I just seeing things?

What about Holo Mirage?

Stormshot_Prime wrote:Anyone else notice that bizarre double sided Headmaster? Or am I just seeing things?

You're not. But it's actually to be expected with Spasma!



Part of the Horrorcons' design schtick was that their Headmaster partners formed both the robot head and the beast head. However, the need to be interchangeable with other Titan Masters means that SIEGE Spasma can't fit the full gorilla muzzle on his back, so he only has the optic band and plugs in to complete the gorilla head (much like Revolver does for TR Six Shot's wolf head, only even more important). This also keeps the gorilla head from being undersized.

Dude good call! I don’t have holo Mirage yet.

He’s the only redless force that can withstand Shockwave’s redless onslaught.
