Ah. Cog. Makes sense he has a Fort Max vibe going on.
This is not a toy line for Ralph. But I'm liking it!

It's late and Phil has had an odd thought: what if the WFC Micromasters are reissues? I'm not sure I can see new ones doing any better for articulation, especially in light of Firedrive. So why not just reuse the originals? Well that thought was a bust. The Micromasters look suspiciously like just 2 in a pack. If they are then effectively the Legends size has gone back to it's Fall of Cybertron origins with 2 small TFs per pack. |

And to have a siege, don't you need a fortress or a base to be besieged in? You also need a beseiging force. I see no Decepticons yet.... |

From the Amazon AU thread Those numbers grouped together all look WFC now And this looks like your Cog repaint. Here's Magnus but which of the rest of these Leaders is WFC? |

In theory im loving these, but the main figures all look a bit off. Prime looks a bit too much like the deluxe classic. Hound just looks awkward. Magnus looks ever so slightly off too. Sideswipe looks fine. Flak and other micromasters look amazing.

I think it's the posing. Each one of them are in the most awkward pose, that's not really flattering.
Optimus reminds me very little of Classics Optimus. Instead he strikes me as far more like MP10, than he originally did.

Better pic of Cog's parts:  As well as becoming weapons it looks like the pieces do become Gasket & Grommit www.tfu.info/1987/Autobot/Cog/cog.htmThe Silver shield is Gasket, split in two and folded out. I'm guessing Cog's arms go on him like they did on the original. The tracked legs and the pieces we can't see make up Grommit. |

Unless he's backwards, pretty sure it's not tailspin. Silhouette seems to match swindler.

Colour then becomes the problem, hence the Tailspin suggestion....
unless they're merging aspects of characters to compensate for the downsizing in Patrol size?

Dunno. The others seem pretty accurate to their original forms.

Micromasters becoming weapons is interesting but Battle patrol do feel like minicons anyway - but is it line wide?

Hmm. Micromasters are called Micro Masters. Has someone else got the trademark now or is it to line up with Titan and Prime Masters?

Maybe some hit the space bar while doing the lettering, we need to check the packaging logos. We had the 2 designs in G1

No, I think you're right about Swindler. I just think he's in a deep shadow. Edit: moreover, being a silvery color, I also think he's reflecting the blues around them, also aiding in him to look off color. |

It's much more obvious once you see the pic of them combined in gun mode..... but there Road Handler looks orange not red!  |

I think Chromia had the combiner tooled out. She doesn't have a peg hole for a fist in the front of her vehicle. And the overhead shot doesn't look like there's a combiner connector in her, either. |

They transform. We have renders of Optimus and Sideswipe, even. Thank you for clearing that up! That gallery is ace, tho I'm not all that keen on the overly fussy rendering of the robots. Reminds me of New 52 DC when everything suddenly had to have seams. Is that silver distressing paint just the diorama builder getting carried away? I still have my Race Car Patrol & they are very popular with The Boy, will defo pick these up. |

If the card art isn't Livio Ramondelli, then someone on the hasbro team has a major hard on for that hack. |
