Here at Seibertron we like to bring you some of the best images of bots on the internet. Today we're bringing you two new galleries for Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Crosshairs and Trenchfoot! Crosshairs is available in the fifth and final wave of Transformers Siege due around this December and is a retool of the previously released Siege Ironhide. As such he clocks in at almost a full head taller than most of his Deluxe class contemporaries. He unfortunately does not come with his G1 Targetmaster partner Pinpointer but he does come with his W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher that is very much painted in honor of his old Targetmaster pal.
Instead of Pinpointer Siege has given us Trenchfoot, a redeco of Caliburst who transforms into a Foxhole Counterblast cannon. Trenchfoot comes with the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce three pack and is painted to very much evoke the feeling of Crosshairs' G1 sidekick. The two together make a visually impressive team sure to satisfy most G1 purists.
Click on any of the images or gallery headers below to head to the corresponding galleries. Enjoy the images and stay tuned to Seibertron for Spinister images on the way!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught on that Trenchfoot could be in place of Pinpointer, and I think that might've been the plan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of Spinisters Targetmasters in the Skywarp pack as well?

..And for size, I hope Hasbro releases GREAT new Dinobots in this line, on the right scale as a Leader ( Grimlock) 2 voyager ( sludge and slag) and 2 deluxe ( Swoope and snarl) - will be perfect!

Yes. His name in that set is Shrute, but it's colored like his old Targetmaster Hairsplitter. His other Targetmaster, Singe, is due out in the final wave of Siege.

Might hold off on crosshairs until the other autobot target masters are confirmed/photos with their absence in wave 1 of Earthrise 
Though theoretically if selects is continuing to use siege molds with the TCG mercs being possible figures I'm not sure what would fit pointblank and it might be a bad fit like jetdasher/cromar alt but for pointblanks robot mode. Seems weird that he's retail and not selects too but no complaints on that.

Just conjecture on my part but it's possible that Crosshairs was supposed to be a selects release but when Siege was extended for a wave, he got upgraded to main line release, the same way that Astrotrain was taken from Earthrise (which I'm thinking by them offering him again in wave 1)

I get that, but he doesn't turn into a giant train. You can't use poor animation and plot devices as evidence.
I mean, these aren't giant space trains and he doesn't role around on giant Earth train tracks.
By your logic of large alt modes = large robots plus what we saw in the cartoon...
...Huffer is bigger than Optimus! Or maybe Hoist is smaller than Huffer? It doesn't matter what shenanigans they pulled in the cartoon, the alt modes are still Earth sized.
I agree with this. As JelZe pointed out Astrotrain's lot number is also in line with Earthrise, not Siege. Not sure how the rest fall into that, though, since they're all new molds, but not very fitting for Earthrise.

I don't know how this concept still loses people? Astrotrain is not "an old steam engine". He is an alien shape-shifting robot that looks like an old steam engine. Only on a superficial, visual level. Hence how the entire Decepticon army is able to board him in both altmodes as transport.

On the note of trains, I'd LOVE a redux Raiden ... now that the notion of train tracks and roads and ramps is on the table. Seems like the perfect time.
Maybe they can do a little micromaster train station and train crossing guard.

This is the whole point. All Transformations are cosmetic. "Robots in Disguise" and all that. Astrotrain based on his direct interactions with other Cybertronians IE The Movie, Should be a big bot. His Bot Mode features his Shuttle Mode kibble, so any kind of comparison to his train mode is redundant anyway. In Shuttle Mode, a Gestalt could stand without hitting a "ceiling" and nearly the entire Decepticon Army of 2005 was onboard.

That's some terrible layering, lol! Kup is standing on poor Snarl's hind foot, and Blurr is standing on Broadside's foott, which much be like a clown shoe to reach all the way under and to the other side of Snarl. Oh, AKOM, you're so silly!

Indeed. I've said it before but, I think if Mystery Studio that animated Call of The Primitives, had been the default for Season 3 (& 4), it would probably have been better received... and hold up better in retrospect.

Glad the character art on the side is staying, I'd love for that to just always be a thing now. That art on the Starscream box is of the Siege figure though, not the figure actually in that packaging, which is just another reason for me to be annoyed about him.
Also shouldn't this news post have been on the Earthrise thread, not this one?

Apologies for the image if it appears rotated but the Jetfire blast effects work great with Mirage’s rocket and it looks pretty good on Hound’s rocket launcher too.

As indicated above I scored Mirage but also Impactor and Impactor makes me very much the glad he may have hollow legs like he’s from the Prime Wars but maaaan he’s huge 
He looks amazing with Springer please Primus give me a Siege styled Kup before this trilogy is over. It’s like he stepped right off the page of the UK comics. He’s still got that matching Centurion-esque helmet fin that gels so we’ll with Springer it’s perfect.
I’d love the IDW head but can’t afford the whole set - just the same I’m hella happy with this Autobot version football helmet wearing harpoon handed purple people eating walking tank.

So, I found a Barricade in the wild in a veritable sea of Mirages and an Impactor. Didnt give Impactor a second thought to grab Barrocade, but now kinda wishing I did even though I know I hate that Tank. Decided 'Cade needed his little buddy so when I got home I decided to switch torsos on Aimless and Blowpipe to create an all-grey Battle Master Frenzy.
Also, you can totally use the half-handles to mount the guns flush with the car hood instead of sticking up 10 feet.

Well, they could just go the partforming route. A cone hat that would serve as a tailfin for the vehicle mode, or something.
But most likely, some heavy remolding would be required.

Where else, though? Do you own the mold? The whole nose of the tetrajet is an integral component of the very structural integrity of the altmode kibble's placement in robot mode. Without the nose splitting in half and folding up to become the faux stabilizers, the altmode kibble can't securely lock into place in the robot mode.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Then where would the robot mode stabilizers come from?AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Or the front end of the Tetrajet could be retooled into a collapsible head

Then simply turn the transformation around. Have the wings of the tetrajet substitute the folded nose pieces, with fake "wings" behind them for kibble. Just as Wingblade's design was just Thrust in cosplay, altering the structure of the figure is achievable while retaining cosmetic appearances. Just note the Coneheads were physically different to the standard seekers, beyond the titular aspect. Extra wings etc could easily be employed to get new results from the same mold.

I'm just going to say, I doubt the Coneheads are a safe enough bet to warrant 2 figures each because they're probably going to do Selects releases of them with the Earthrise mold, so I doubt we'd get them with the Tetrajet mold too. That said, I could somewhat see a remold to the backpack to facilitate the Coneheads' respective kibble

I think Coneheads are for Earthrise because the jet mode more easily allow to remold their wings and tailfin rather than come up with a Cybertronian design for them.

The cone springloads or slides into the head. Pick your mold, problem solved.

As much as I despise the "new" Earthrise mold, I agree that Coneheads are probably coming from it later next year, even though I would MUCH rather we get the rest of the Seekers from the Siege mold, and I'm just hoping that Ramjet makes the mold look good enough for me to get. With that in mind, the next uses I want to see from the Siege mold would be the Welcoming Committee, since they were only on Cybertron and therefore should have tetrajet alt modes like the Rainmakers. Another three pack with Sunstorm, Hotlink, and Bitstream would do the trick, or just Selects releases of them (as long as none of them are locked behind a dumb Red Card again, still annoyed about Redwing). I could see them doing those three and not Nacelle, given the remolding required for the original Nacelle being partially Conehead-based.

Eh, this.
They could also make his head split, like for ROTF Thrust.

The only similarities Windblade even has with Thrust is having VTOL fans on the wings, and even then their different locations and sizes, and a cockpit chest I guess but most jet Transformers have them.
Their not even the same shade of red either, she has more differences from Thrust then similarities to him
It's just a stupid comparison, lots of characters in the franchise share a few similarities but whatever it's Windblade so obviously noting counts unlike someone like Slipstream who is so original in appearance because she's simply wearing a Starscream cosplay which is much different.

Given what we got with Rainmakers, I'd say a CHUG Nacelle would look like that.

not sure if apeface being the size of a deluxe is good or bad, at least it will fit in with TR monsterbots and explains why its got nothing to make the robot head look bigger in robot mode which is what I feared back then. Think I'd just go with the G1 toys if I had the money (and be able to get snap dragon).

He's a small Voyager yes, but Spinister and the Ironhide mold are quite big for Deluxes. Also, Apeface's bulk is concentrated in his backpack and the back of his legs.

Wait, what? *goes back and looks at the comparison shot of Crosshairs, Astrotrain and Apeface* Ugh, I was so focused on Astrotrain that I didn't notice Apeface's size!
Ah well, at least that means I might not need to reorganize the Decepticon half of the shelf to accommodate another Voyager figure

animated lockhead was big for a deluxe....and deluxe priced. We are now paying voyager prices for for deluxes and getting voyagers that are deluxes. Crazy. TR Blur was pretty much a standard sized deluxe to me. If anything its got my hopes up that they are charging deluxe prices for legends sized figures so that earthrise cliffjumper can go with the other mini bots.
