Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Micromaster 10 Pack Available at Target.Com

Well that's getting shipped to store lol.

It's strange... I like all the individual robot mode colors, and most of the alt mode colors... but good lord a lot of those "combined weapons" are eye searing... would make interesting weapons for the Rain Makers.

Was there a confirmation of the "regular" Off-Road Patrol Release? Is this 10pk release the *recolors* before the official release?

Did anyone else notice that the description says "88 POUNDS"?

Keep an eye on your shipping cost, I guess...

**EDIT**

There is a decimal there... Nevermind.

See, I've been telling people (and have had many agree) that Devastator and Predaking are proper Combiner scale, and the other combiners are too small. It's why I've had zero issues with either, they are perfectly sized.

I really wish the next Commander would be Thunderwing, but alas, I think it will be Sky Lynx, a shuttle to go with a spaceship sort of thing

Yes, Titan Devastator and Predaking are definitely Generations Siege scale. And for the Combiner Wars ones to be in proper scale, they should be titan too. At least in combined mode. However, having voyager scaled CARS and bikes wouldn't make any sense.

As for a proper MP scaled Devastator, each components should be at least MP-10 sise and cost nearly 200$ each. Making for an over 1000$US combiner of epic proportions.
Next HasLab project, perhaps?

While I dovthinkvthe CW combiners are a tad small, I like the size theu are close to compared to the Titans because of this:

400px-Predakingg1.jpg

Some of it os proportion, and again the CW Combiner aare a tad small even for this, , but Predaking is HUGE compared to Superion and Defensor

That illustration was done by someone who was going off the G1 toys side by side without factoring in how underscale the other G1 combiner toys were. Like, the Constructicons and the "Scramble City" types (especially the limbs) are shrimpy even next to their fellow Diaclone-originating robots; the Structies and the Scramble City limbs are practically Legion-class toys and look tiny even next to the likes of G1 Mirage and Bluestreak. Whereas the G1 Predacon toys were made in the same robot mode scale as Hot Rod, Kup, et al.

CW Devastator and PotP Predaking are, in combined form, indeed in perfect cartoon scale with regular size figures. However, the tradeoff for this is that the individual Constructicons and Predacons are not, especially the Structies; the cartoon's conceit of combiners swelling up to larger than the sum of their parts is to blame. The standard CW and PotP Combiners are the converse; their individual members are in scale with their peers, but the combined form lacks the daikaiju size from the cartoon (although it's still hefty and towering). It does make one miss the Legion size class for G1 characters; that would resolve things nicely. Well, that and having Supreme/Commander-size Devy and Predaking (Especially Devy, he battled other combiners more than Predaking did; I mean, who can forget "Bruticus devastate Devastator!"?) to scale with the other combiners.

Regarding the Commander class... It had better NOT be Sky Lynx. Thanks to Predaking being done as a Titan-class toy, Sky Lynx (his main rival) absolutely has to be one as well. I still personally think it could be a downsized Omega Supreme (most likely in Guardian Robot colors if so). That would complement Omega Supreme by being a smaller version that scaled better with regular CW and PotP combiners.

I think Star Saber as a retool of Jetfire is a possibility.

Not yet, for some reason they're pushed back to Wave 4 with Barricade, Mirage and Impactor, even though their numbering places them in Wave 3. Redecos/Retools released before the main retail original has happened before mind you. Speaking of which, they're actually redecos of retools. Sound confusing?

Irontread is based on Ironworks, but the new parts are inspired by Monster Truck Patrol member Big Hauler. Ricon is an all-new character (though he reminded me of Tote), but the new parts follow fellow Patrol Member Hydraulic's design:

Expect them in the next part

Nah, for me its a new mold Star Sber with Thunderwing the Co-Tool. But I am pretty sure I would rather have Star Saber as a Leader Class so that they can do Vic Leo as a Weaponizer or Voyager Weaponizer

I thought they looked familiar... couldn't put my finger on it. Looking back at my original collection (thorugh memory) I somehow only have "half" of some of my patrols... wonder if friends over the years wandered off with some.

I really hope we get the hot rod patrol.

also regarding: "It does make one miss the Legion size class for G1 characters; that would resolve things nicely."-Flashwave


I completely agree! I was recently just looking at my legion Seekers and wondering where a lot of the others went (really makes me regret missing a lot of the Movieverse legions (Guzzle and some of others have gotten $$). Mostly just because they're continuing the "all-in" on the "cybertron city" it'd be nice to have everyone to that scale. Even if it technically violates the whole point of "micro masters".


Kind of makes me wonder if they might do Select reissues of some of the leaders like Twin Cast or.... fire Guts God Genrai (or Nucleon quest would be a winner)

Star Saber as a retool of Jetfire wouldn't work that well anyway, at least not if you wanted a real resemblance to the Victory version. Engineering's too different, I'd say.

There are other possibilities for Jetfire, though. They could redeco him into some other Macross-reference livery, probably accompanied by the name Jetstorm or Overcast. Or, given the other Unicron Trilogy referencing that's been going on, they could reference Cybertron Sky Shadow:

I would also love if they maybe considered a new class/product for micromaster bases, even if it's the smaller playsets versus the Rocket Base.

Though the PotP leaders seemed to be the best way to tackle that.

I think you mean Titans Return The munky, the trukk, and the Rodebago lack real base modes

Oh, true! Though Primal I think is Titan Master compatible? I think I've seen some fan modes of the "evolutions" prime with a "base mode" Though even the TR Power Master base was a bit rough... I'm glad that Omega's tracks have "raised" connections points, since TR PM Prime's base seems to prefer elevated connectors.

Can't remember where I saw this but I saw a couple posts discussing stuff on Jetfire that seems that they could lend themselves towards a Star Saber retool.

Honestly there isn't really anyone else that makes sense to retool him from, straight repaints not included which seem more like Generation Selects type stuff.

I think we're more likely to see leader Class molds of both Star Saber and Deathsarus, based on the plans Hasbro had for the PotP poll. I also can't see them doing a downsized Omega, unless it's a new mold which has Omega turning into the Ark the key here is scale since the designers seem so beholden to it.

Actually I can see Star Saber as a commander class but only has a two pack with voyager Victory Lio

A 2 pack with a leader Victory Saber and a voyager Victory Leo could be nice. However, in G1 and the toon, Leo was as big as Saber. So TWO leaders sold separately would be the best option. And if it's 2 leaders a case, a case of one Saber and one Leo would be the way to distribute them.

True, I forgot about robot mode scale Leader Class would be best then.

Since leader class has changed to voyager with accessories it might work for thunderwing but he could just end up being a selects repaint/remold of TR skyshadow as per whatever work they had underway at the time. I'm still hoping for a thunderclash but the current leaders are way too small for effective trailers.

Not so sure if Victory Leo will happen as they never did the MP counter part and star sabre may just end up being three combining micromasters/Armada sword as it fits the line. It will be interesting to see what Primes/Megatrons are used for the next series after war for cybertron.

Nah they had plans for leader Class star Saber, and the lines gimmick is set to change with the new part debuting next year, the tentative "Armageddon". Thundercrash would be awesome but the best to hope for might be an inclusion in the Commander Class (leader and trailer)

Really loved the micromasters as a kid and was looking forward to these however, can't but help feel a bit underwhelmed. Reason being is that these aren't a huge improvement on the originals - sure some articulation in the legs, perhaps I'd have like elbows... dunno. Also, would've like 4 packs... I mean how can u have an air strike patrol without tailwind!

Will still pick some more up - maybe this one. The micromasters and base combo were a great play pattern and I guess will populate the titans with these guys..

I still say, next commander class will be the Robosmasher.

Any proof or just going by the phase goes with Omega?

Got a Springer yesterday at Target. ive had luck with target mostly for newer stuff. The Walmart by me is so bad they have nothing new. i may need to start using another Walmart.

I haven't had any issues with Deluxes or smaller at either Walmart or Target. Voyagers are a different story - there are never very many, and some figures sell out quickly. I don't think I've seen a Springer in the wild. Leaders were a problem at first, but now they're more common.

Just phrase, context, and size. It was big, but not titanic. At commander size it'd be able to pick up and manhandle deluxes about right. I expect we'll see it revived in IDW's upcoming origin story for the Constructicons.

Crazier prediction? I think it might come with some representation of Froid. He'd be a great modern tie in to the Robosmasher. That they chose to drop him, of all characters, back into the comics and put Rung in the toyline seems like too big a coincidence.

Interesting thesis, we'll see though, hopefully sooner rather then later but we still have no idea if commanders are going to be one a line like the Titans.

I ordered the Micromaster 10-Pack from Target.com, but I wasn't in time to order the Seeker 3-Pack as well. I checked a Target on the way to work this morning, and saw that several employees were stocking/resetting the toy aisles. I was hopeful I'd find the 3-pack out on the shelves, since it's been hypothesized that the release of the exclusives is to come with a shelf reset, but the Transformers section hadn't even been touched. I asked an employee to look up the DPCI number for the set, and it showed none on the floor and none in the back. Every other store in the area was showing "Out of Stock." I don't think they've actually hit Minnesota quite yet.

Just throwing my opinion in, but I'd prefer a leader class Star Sabrr, rather than a Commander class. Mostly just because at the Commander class size, it'd probably just be the MP Star Saber, but way more simplified and minus the die-cast. Leader Star Saber (going off the Prime Wars leaders, not Siege) would still tower over deluxes, and dwarf micromasters, but not be so ridiculously huge that space becomes an issue

While this is a cool pack, I kind of think Hasbro could make a mint off of a Blast Effects Pack!!!

Only reason I said commander size originally was because I envisioned him coming with Victory Leo, but either way, Star Saber would likely be a Voyager figure with Armour.

There is a case to be made that Star Saber scales off more on the Commander Class in his 'super mode'. Given this would require more plastic to pull off, I'd say he could be Commander Class-priced but stand somewhere between older Leader and the new Commanders.

Really sad we haven't seen more of that Armada Prime update....

YRQRM0 wrote:Really sad we haven't seen more of that Armada Prime update....

It's not a Siege toy anyway.

Prime and Cog just go together like peanut butter and jelly

While SDCC is now in the past, we do have official images of the toys revealed at the show. These include Rumble (who looks as stumpy as ever), Ratbat, Singe, Power Punch, Direct Hit and fan favourite Rung. We can see the individual Micromasters in their unonnected alt modes as well as in their weapon mode. We have a good look at Rung in alt mode as well. These are all slated for an end of year release at wide retail. There are also the images of the Walmart exclusive cell shaded Optimus Prime and Megatron toys without the black backgrounds. Soundblaster is there as well. Will you be getting all of these?

I ordered yesterday and just got an email saying target has cancelled the whole order.

Again, Rung is the single most awesome thing to come out of Siege. Also, why do I hate the regular Siege Optimus, but I really, really like that cell shaded one?

More vibrant hues and a paint deco willing to try somethi g different? But it looks like they are using a tiger strip maskonh os sorts to achieve the cell shaded look. We haven't seen it in person yet and I worry that it wont lookvas good from all angles

But since Ring has a weapon mode now, does that mean he's a Holy Hand Grenade Launcher?

Apeface is going to shoot himself with that micromaster weapon.

Ratbat feels like it is missing bits in cassette style mode and definitely missing his g1 weapons. Rumble...his head really does just turn around...cheapo. Easy pass on these as better versions exist of the characters even if they aint going to fit inside siege soundwaves.

Will pick up soundblaster, Apeface and might give the cell shaded style figures a go.

blackeyedprime wrote:Apeface is going to shoot himself with that micromaster weapon.

How do you figure? It's pointing away from him. It's one of those big four-barrel rocket launchers that rests its body on the shoulder of its wielder.

Really? Singe is a straight redeco of Firedrive with Misfire's Effect Parts?

For both the Micromaster 10-Pack and the Seekers 3-Pack?

My Micromasters ship-to-store order was cancelled, too. Originally it was scheduled to arrive early this week. It looks like it's still available, so I placed a new order, now scheduled to arrive late next week.

Looks like my local store order sevice had one of their shipments delayed, it was supposed to arrive within a month and no luck after last saturday. Have to wait at least two extra weeks before they might have him.


I still want/need my S.I.E.G.E. Voyager Optimus Prime. Why is my shipment with this amazing figure stuck somewhere delayed in the harbor or receiving warehouse

Yep I hope I just ordered too late and it isn't a common problem.

Apeface look very promising. He may even have a much lighter backpack in bot mode than the original G1!

That is encouraging news!

I didn't know Singe was coming, that is great news! Spinister will get both his Targetmasters from this line to go with himself!

Now I need to go find a TR or Generations Scourge to go with Fracas. I don't have a Scourge yet in any capacity.

also need to get a 2nd Firedrive for Ricochet, he'll be a limb, but he can wield his Targetmaster in combined form
