Fellow Seibertronian Powermaster Ultra Prime has shared a bevy of cell shaded War for Cybertron Siege Optimus Prime images with us. There are many images of this figure floating around on the inter-webs out there but these give an excellent view of how the cell shading works in some natural lighting. Also of note is how good it looks when mowing down an army of Decepticons. Kind of hard to argue that one.

We also have some more professionally photographed comparison shots of Siege Optimus and Megatron side by side with their cell shaded versions. Although not naturally lit these also show off how that cell shading works so well in some poses, but maybe not so much in others. These images come to us from Facebook user Masterandy's Kindergarten FB Branch. It is amazing the action poses you can get the Siege figures into.

Well, what do you think Seibertronians? Are these the faction commanders you've been waiting for or are the initial Siege releases of Optimus and Megatron your favorites? Let us know in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

"Cell shaded?"

More like G2 "clown camo". [-(

Not feeling these repaints. I'm happy enough with the original versions of the molds.

Not bad! For the price point that's quite nice, more shading so they look like poseable DYRL cels would be cool but that would drive the cost up further, not to mention increase the risk of paint errors. Yep, these are awesome.

Thanks for this, I'm way too impatient to wait for a Black Friday sale and had him on pre-order from Amazon, which is due next month. For $4 more with a chance he'll arrive before my birthday, sure, why not?

I love the design of SIEGE Megas, but i really hate Prime's truckmode, it just looks odd with the bulging headlights and that weird roof.

Amazon finally put a picture up to go with their listing of the Micromaster Off Road Patrol and they really, REALLY screwed it up!

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.

Agreed. I much prefer Galaxy Upgrade’s alt mode. Especially for “Cybertronian” vehicles.

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!

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! :shock:

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

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? #-o

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. :lol:

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

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.

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...)
