I think it's more along the lines of Optimus Prime calling Megatron out, goading him to go fist to fist. There was no victory message or declaration, so I'm assuming this is "to be continued."

Also, this is my first and only SIEGE effect pack, are they all made of this material?
(This line rules BTW.)

Yep, all the effects use the same rubbery material.

I'm hoping this is like Thundercracker where Amazon had the earliest release. I've got Mirage on pre-order already and am passing on Impactor for the one in the fan vote set. However, if they are in fact getting those 2 on September 1st, I would presume they may also have Barricade since he is in the same wave.

Always beware of what you try but a hairdryer or warm water would probably be enough to soften it to where you could hold it straight and let it cool. They’re all like that but fortunately all the ones I have are straight they did a pretty good job with them I think. Best QC in ages.

We've probably seen all the new molds there will be for "Siege" through December. All of these repaints are just bonuses for anyone who wants them. Any new molds revealed going forward are almost certainly going to be part of the second act of the "War for Cybertron Trilogy."

I don't even see what the problem is. There aren't many of what I would call "inappropriate" remolds in this line. The closest thing to it would probably be Hot Shot and Nightbird, and those are both welcome to me.
Unique Molds between Deluxe and Titan - at least 16 on first blush. I'm probably leaving something out.

there are no new molds for siege, the entire retail line up has been revealed months ago.

Agreed. I have three futuristic Lamborghinis and I’m totally happy with it.

G2 sideswipe really needs some heavier weapons. I love the paint job, and it is my favorite of the 3, but dang he needs some G2esque guns!

God I hope Nonnef offers at least the guns in bright eye-searing neon green.

If they color them properly I will think about it.
Actually paired him up with M.C. Smashdown. And I think that is where M.C. will be staying, it's perfect!

Yeah, I keep waffling on whether I want to get that pack. G2 Sideswipe is cool and all that, but he has to be a different character on my shelf.

I don't have a Windblade, and probably want one, but I still think 60+ for essentially a Pinpointer is a bit much. Much more likely to get the Firestormers.

Trenchfoot will become Pinpointer for me eventually. I think that is who he was intended to be

Correction, they become a massive weapon, some new shoes and a fancy backpack

No matter what, his shoes will never be as snazzy as TR Astrotrain's.

But the tail rotor behind his head has been part of almost all of his designs

It's all mass, not height. Besides, Astrotrain's is measured from the top of his head, while Spinister's is measured from the top of rotor, well above his head. The former is bulkier too, but could still be considered a Voyager with add-ons.

Siege is about scale. Astrotrain is not bigger than megatron so anyone hoping for a larger base figure was setting themselves up for dissapointment. Plus, I dont want my astrotrain leader sized, it makes no sense. If you don't like the approach you can always wait for a sale (as I will) or not buy it.
