Ask and you shall receive. Here is one with the 2 of them, and another with an assortment.

Thanks so much for that! I got notice that my Siege Jetfire is shipping from Hasbro Pulse just this morning. Unfortunately, I probably will have to rearrange my display shelves to fit him in where I had the T30 version. That one just barely fits because I rotated the booster pack around 180 degrees to shorten the "backpack" and just barely make the clearance on that shelf's "ceiling."

So I just checked Pulse and Jetfire isn't even listed right now. I think they really underestimated demand for this figure. I complained to Amazon about the delay and they credited me the difference of the retail vs a 3rd party seller. So luckily mine is shipping out today from that seller.

I'm curious what the issue is in general though.

That's cool. Amazon gave me a $10 discount on my next purchase, which benefits them more, because I will have to buy from them again to use it. And I'm not sure if I will, they have failed to fulfill my pre-orders too many times.

If BBTS or TFS get their stock first I will probably ditch my Amazon pre-order. Maybe I should do it anyway, and if it goes up again, use the $10 discount. :))

o.supreme wrote:One Question though....Did anyone who just went to Amazon and purchased him on Monday get him already? Because if so...that's kind of messed up if they sent out orders immediately showing it's in stock, while someone who pre-ordered months ago didn't get theirs.

I would like to know.

Yeah, they gave me a $29.01 promotional credit. So you can only use it on items sold by Amazon. But in the long run, the money would be spent either way, so I was cool with it.

Dude how crazy is it this that Amazon seems more equipped or at the ready to handle the issue I mean for Hasbro Pulse to remove the item, yikes, right? Like they’re called the Pulse for a reason :lol:

I guess I just figure Hasbro Pulse orders would get filled first. I haven’t ordered enough on line to know what I’m talking about I’m just sayin but it’s all Greek to me it seems nutty foofoo.

Hi O.Supreme, Thank you for reaching out to us. We do apologize if a product is no longer available on our website. There is a chance it may be back, but we can never guarantee. We ask that you please keep checking our website as inventory can change frequently along with the products which are available at any given time

Sorry I imagine a guy at a computer with a large selection of generic stock answers to choose form, and this was one of them Thanks Ronny......

I think Hasbro is still relatively new at being a retailer. Of course they don't seem to be that great at being a distributor at times either :lol:

I pinged Hasbro Pulse customer service when they first went online and found them to be nice and helpful, but I don't expect much from the first line of support techs.

To be fair, out of Siege, he is. I like the mold as do others, but it's not for everyone.

I can picture the last one in the anime, six gun and Optimus Prime running onto battle...

Op: "looks like Ironhide is being pinned down..."
SG: "We got to do something Prime...I know, a new weaponize!"
Op: "I can't ask you to do that Six Gun"

I want to believe Stakeout and Swindler are somehow energized as shields but really they’re just human shields let’s be real here...I keep envisioning someone running through battle and just grabbing some innocent Micromaster come here buddy I need you for a sec time to give it all for the cause :lol:

Honestly? They probably weren’t sure how it was gonna be received by fans, I mean we may have all liked it, but that doesn’t translate into sales

He is one of the weaker molds. He has one o the weakest alt modes for sure, and a rather standard transformation. It’s all about the bot mode with him.

Many fans are looking forward to the Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege WFC-S27 Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron, and definitely for the WFC-S28 Commander Class Jetfire. While we have gotten numerous in hand photos of the two, today, we have English reviews for them, courtesy of Chefatron. If you forgot, the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron has Voyager Class Skywarp, as well as Battle Masters Decepticon Fracas (Scourge's Targetmaster), Shrute (current name for Spinister's Targetmaster, Hairsplitter), and Terror-Daxtyl. Chefatron is very content with the set, enjoying the additional Battle Masters, and appreciating the unified color scheme, a welcome surprise for him. He ends up giving the set a 10 out of 10. Watch the review below!

Chefatron also has a review up for up for Jetfire, and we can truly see how big he is once again, compared to an upgraded Unite Warriors Computron, who is the same height. We also see an undocumented feature not in the instructions, where he has a removable engine, where a Titan Master/Prime Master could take his place. Chefatron shows to be very pleased by the figure, and also gives the figure a 10 out of 10. The review can be view below!

Tell us your new thoughts on these figures if you've seen the reviews in the Pub forums below!

Well Skywarp looks really great in his purple, silver and "lighter shade of black" deco =P~

I'm seriously looking forward to completing the Seeker set.

I used to not care for Chefatron, but I like how playful he's gotten ;)^

It's nice to see Red Wing and Skywarp has fixed the chest popping action.

Same here. TR Megs is a great figure.
I do want Selects Megatron, but he'll be Megaplex in my collection.

That Jetfire though.......

I'm sure a good deal of Siege's budget has gone into making Jetfire a good figure, there's a high chance you'll like him.

I think they're just perceiving it that way because of brand unification knocking the lenses out of their Cult of Takara goggles.

Only Siege figure I've had QC issues with was my Skytread; everything else has had great QC.

Aww man that’s a bummer I’ve been hardcore diggin’ it so far. What specifically have been the disappointments? The price increase or Legends going away or...?

Everyone’s got a point gang give him a chance to make one. There’s being belligerent and negative or deliberately stirring a hornets nest and the there’s just a guy saying he’s giving the line a chance and has been let down.

And he’s trying to maybe make someone else’s day who got skunked, who knows. I’m just sayin’. ;)^

Looks like Hasbro's sales reps need to be grabbed by the collars of their 3-piece suits and reminded to hold off on the megahyping until after a figure has been satisfactorily tested.

As reported here just yesterday Thundercracker and Omega Supreme have been delayed. We'll have more on Omega's delay later, but for now thanks to Seibertronian Nickster563 we have word that wave 3 now has a second revision in the form of the Siege Voyager case assortment. That's right Megatron is now packed with the Seeker with a smile despite being so blue Thundercracker!

The case is listed as in stock and ready to ship with a price tag of $59.99 for the two items together over at Entertainment Earth

Click on any of the images below to jump to Entertainment Earth and happy hunting! As this week has seen its ups and downs, rushes and delays be sure to stay tuned to Seibertron for the latest in Transformer news, and note this current listing should be considered highly subject to change.

It even says so in the product description:
"The War for Cybertron is on! Big robots join the Siege with Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege Voyager toys! Each figure has a futuristic alternate mode, a dirty paint job, and a grizzled look. Accessories are compatible with blast effect accessories (sold with Battle Masters figures, sold separately.) Ages 8 and up.
Case includes 2 individually packaged 6-inch action figures:
1x TRA GEN WFC VOYAGER MEGATRON
1x TRA GEN WFC VOYAGER THUNDERCRAKER
(subject to change)"

That's kinda uncool to say that... there are a lot of other people who have had their order delayed, and you come along with a ho-hum attitude on whether or not you'll even keep him

Agree

I don't. So far the Siege line has been knocking it out of the park, except for this dud. It's not horrible, but it's the weakest of a near-flawless line.

Same, he feels like a carry-over from potp, as far as quality and plastic density; plus the design has so many cut-corners that I just find myself liking it less and less

SIEGE Megs definitely seems to be missing a few tabs. Or in one case, notches for tabs to go in.

Maybe he'd have worked better as a "submarine".

That brings up a point that's been plagueing my mind for a while now.

Would it have been better for Hasbro to BS a Voyager Shockwave's vehicle mode so it could be sold at the price point without issue and make Megatron a leader class figure similar to Shockwave with potential attachments that would evoke a "Galvatron Armor"?

Because I'm still hoping we see all the Evolution designs from POTP at some point with "deluxe" class Megatron turning into leader class Galvatron :lol:

This might have been answered before, either here or in the comics forum, but I don't remember. Was the figure designed first, and the comic had to use it, or did the comic character concept get finalized and the toy had to conform to it? (I would think it's the former, I don't see Hasbro bending to IDW's will, but I had to ask.)
