Been catching up with Wave 2 Siege recently. Hadn't been overly fussed about Ironhide when I first saw him, but in hand he's been a lot of fun to sit transforming back and forth. Soundwave and Starscream are similarly great. Soundwave's ship mode I really couldn't be bothered with, but they've nailed the robot mode very well. The yellow eyes really made me realise how much I missed them from the classic toy, as he sits next to my red-eyed MP Soundwave. Only downside to Soundwave is that he *really* should've come with a cassette. Especially since he seems to have been easier to pick up than the Laserbeak/Ravage set. I hope that's due for a re-release, or the obvious Buzzsaw recolour. Thankfully noticed ID had it back in stock last night, so that's on its way now

Siege "Galaxy Upgrade" Optimus Prime finally arrived from Star Toys yesterday. He is... slightly less impressive in hand than Ultra Magnus, sadly. And not a patch on the original Cybertron Optimus/Galaxy Convoy. He's got more articulation, sure, but he's smaller, lighter, and with fewer play features. He's not horrible, mind you - just a little underwhelming.

I do like that they're homaging other series with Galaxy Upgrade Prime and the God Magnus inspired alt mode for Ultra Magnus, but yeah as someone who still has the original I can't say the Galaxy Prime holds much interest. Its nice for those that missed out on the original though.
I do hope Hasbro keep up this kind of thing. It'd be fun to get new versions of some of the other Unicron trilogy Megatrons for example.
Really need to get some of those Battlemasters ordered for myself. Kicking myself for not preordering them when I ordered Springer and Brunt from Kapow...

The original Galaxy Convoy was shite which is why I am very happy with Galaxy Upgrade as that design is now a good toy!
Even Siege made vehicle mode RID Magnus good.
IT IS THE LINE OF GOOOOOOOLLLLDDDD.

Armada Megatron got done in CW. Armada Starscream in T30 with Thudercracker in Legends and Skywarp by the club. Yeah, that's the kind of thing I was thinking of. Very tempted to nab that Armada Megatron at somepoint. Still gutted I sold my original a few years back. That was a mistake Amazon is your friend for all 3 3 waves Thanks for those. I think I may have to put in an order for those wave 3 Battle masters Heck, I'm still tempted to buy doubles of wave 1 if I see them largely for the effects parts. Those are great fun.

Yeah, that's a little rich for me...
Especially since a nice box from ID arrived yesterday, containing the Siege G2 Sideswipe set, and Studio Series Scrapmetal and Longhaul. Only opened the angry boy so far, but both he and Slamdance look lovely in their new colours. And Trenchfoot... is there.

There are FOUR sets of Wave 3 Battlemasters! Two sets for me, two for chums. And, for reference, the current pile of "toys bought for chums" looks like this:

Retrieved Siege Jetfire from the DPD drop off place on the way home. No window in the box for this one, he's packaged tied to cardboard like the Titans, so I've slipped him out for a look. Eight separate accessories in the box, and a bag load of orange explosion effects. Big big figure.

Caliburst and Smashdown arrived from Amazon. I think I did alright here, I ordered these and the Blackjack set together, came to £26, but they were sent and charged separately and the individual charges came to £22.
I wasn't going to get the animal Battlemasters, but Smashdown just felt like too much fun.
