I didn't even see it right away. If the omission of the red biceps and tampoed symbols was a trade up for a new head, I'll gladly accept the trade.

Every time I see this guy I just hear Rom saying “Liquidator Brunt!”
That’s EX-Liquidator.

I don't think the light bar is actually black. If you look at the edges of the bar in the bot mode picture it looks more like a deep red.
I can definitely see it being a very dark red.

More like "once per year" (Fortress Maximus was 2016, Trypticon 2017), but yeah until further notice I'd expect just one for now. There may be some wiggle room somewhere in future tho.

Well, he isn't. He's a 20$ Accessory pack that double as a figure!

Yup pretty much! Gotta say tho, Ironhide looks pretty sweet when loaded up with Sixgun.

I still haven't seen a Titan Cog yet, and I am aching to see one

Absolutely not.

Don’t worry he’s 3 per case once they’re at saturation - even online he should be pretty easy to get.

Chromia is pretty solid. I like her sculpt and her similarity to the rest of the Elita One squadron, though she does have enough remolding to distinguish her. Her greebling isn't so bad in person, but it still is a bit more "extra" than it needed to be, especially when compared to the likes of Moonracer, Firestar, and Greenlight. I'm still trying to fiddle with her Transformation to find a good Targetmaster fan-mode for Orthia (or Elita Infin1te) to wield so that she can still be a part of the team.
Six Gun is pretty much everything I expected, after having experienced Cog. He "completes" Generations Metroplex quite well, even if the reds on both aren't a perfect match. I've got the SDCC version of Metroplex, so maybe the reds match better on the regular Hasbro retail version or the Takara Tomy version? At any rate, Six Gun seems solid. Nothing that pegs in seems too loose, except maybe for the legs, which was a much bigger problem on Cog, to be honest.
I'm really liking how things have been shaping up with SIEGE, and I'm more eager than ever to get the rest of the line and see what the next part of the "War for Cybertron" Trilogy has to offer.

Ironhide may be my favorite figure of the line so far. He is so fun, I love the armored truck mode, the heft to his size, the weapon, everything is great!
Prowl is a pleasant surprise. The feet are a little weird, but he is really good too. But he has some troubles with the weaponizers.
Sixgun is really good too. I think I prefer Cog slightly to him, but his upper body makes a great jetback for any figure with a 5mm port on the back.
Picture dump!

Panels on the legs slip off sometimes, but not consistently, so I'm not concerned.
Left hip is a bit loose, but it hasn't drastically affected him. And I enjoy him far more than those little issues take away from him

Doesn't sound terrible. The panels on mine fell off if you coughed in the same room, and the hips are so loose he has trouble standing on his own. Its so bad, that I just tossed the panels in my junk/accessory bin and gave the figure to my boys. It really sucked too, as this was one of the few siege figures I was actually looking forward to.

Shame really, He is awesome and a great figure. I now look forward to finding Ratchet, this is a mold worth getting twice for him. Same with Prowl and the other 3 Datsun based figures

I cannot get a convincing Hulk fist.

The best part is that there is a pretty easy ratbat somewhere in the laserbeak mold, here's to more of these little guys

There's a secret peg-hole in the cockpit - which is made of two parts, it can fold down and plug into the extra peg in the fist part, and the thigh nubs act as thumbs. Admittedly it does depend on where the hole on the arm is, hound and sideswipe are the only two I could get it to work on

Guess I'll post this again:
(I know Ironhide's chest is technically mistransformed, this picture is from right after I got them)

Just exchange it, the micromasters are shelfwarming everywhere that's selling siege stuff

Nah, I'm thinking of getting a second set to have redecoed into...
Skyhopper
Groundshaker
... unless those two are in that Micromaster 10-pack...

Sounds a bit like what happened to me with Cog. I ended up getting two Cogs after my first was so loose that his legs would just slide right off the hips every time I simply lifted the figure by its torso. And neither of its wrist-mounted 5mm pegs would stay attached to any 5mm holes that I put them into. My second Cog, on the other hand, is much more solid overall with much stronger 5mm pegs.Ironhidensh wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Ironhidensh wrote:How are the leg panels and hip joints on your 'Hide?

Kind of like my Cog. Will have to Future Polish some of his joints. Magnus, too, if I want him to stop doing the splits.Sabrblade wrote:Sounds a bit like what happened to me with Cog.
