I spend your valuable time gushing in way too little detail about how good Siege was. I tried to shave my audio down a bit further in this one. It didn't work out great. Song: Zaza - Be Together
Surprisingly, the Siege version of Omega Supreme has relatively little partsforming, just the tracks, and his body splits into 3, after that, those 3 sections individually transform. It's a far cry from the Lego monstrosity that was the G1 figure.
@@basedpota I mean I'd argue that they are defined by being members of the Justice League. People try to DEFINE Springer as a member of the Wreckers. That's all he is to a lot of people.
Siege got me back into transformers collecting. I had a few of the prime wars trilogy figures. One day I went to target and bought Megs and Prime and I was back into transformers.
This was the best of the trilogy easily. While kingdom has figures that I think are better namely Tigatron and Cyclonus. It just wasn't as consistently good as siege. this wave really was done well and the quality never really dipped although their were exceptions.
Love that Magnus, his only problem is short thighs in his armored mode, but there's an upgrade kit for that, and that line was absolutely stunning, I love almost every last figure in it.
Man I missed out on a good part of this line, but the weaponizers, Sideswipe, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave and Skywarp are some of the best and fun figures I have ever had
It was a truly fantastic line, and I was Hyping on it all the way leading up to it, so I should have been set up for disappointment, and yet I wasn't disappointed. That says something.
Siege was truly a fantastic toy line. Unfortunately, I missed most of it and only managed to get Shockwave and Stars cream. Also, What are your thoughts on the Spoiler pack Ultra Magnus?
It's basically the same as the normal one. Because of the extra paint, some stuff pops more, some stuff pops less. It's not a bad version, just a different one.
Yes it was yellow on the toy, but that's so much less important than the show. Most people who watched the show didn't have the toy, but EVERYONE who had the toy watched the show. And the red is just so much more attractive.
They did, but it was a Walmart Exclusive Netflix edition. I wanted a Siege Version real bad my self though, I mean no Wheeljack or Bumblebee the two characters who were the first Space Transfomers we ever saw.
I only have three siege figures and they're all fantastic. I can't stop transforming ironhide, i love mirages design and springer just looks so good. You could take literally any figure and there's a 90% chance that it'll be great.
Yeah thanks, I didn't want to be that. I'm a weird person. I'm what I like to call happy negative. I enjoy thinking about the flaws in things, but I don't want to be the guy who sits there and only complains. I want to make a Variety. I can't say that I'll always be positive, or even positive, or negative in equal measure, but I will positively always try to be fair.
I have no siege toys. But I do have earthrise smokescreen. And it’s awesome! I love it! The transformation is simple and it’s a awesome representation of the G1 smokescreen!
Yeah, that mold of Smokescreen is an improvement over the siege one. If I were to say the Must Haves from Siege, I'd say they are the Optimus, the Jetfire, the Hound, the Ultra Magnus, and the Shockwave.
Thank you, that's all I want to be, and I'm glad to have people disagreeing with me. If everyone agrees with everything I say, I will have made a bubble and that will be a bad thing for everyone involved.
Optimus was my first figure out of siege and as someone who had been collecting tr and potp just got to say ... they felt like mcdonald's toys when I put prime up next to them
6:07 honestly, I prefer the yellow eyes. Seriously, red eyes on decepticons are just a stereotype at this point, to the point where I actually want them to have different eye colors other then just red.
Shockwave has Yellow Eye. Spinnister has yellow too. I don't think it's as common place as you seem to, and I think it just looks better with soundwaves design.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah, but then again... that's only 2 characters with different eye color, however there is like, every other decepticons in existence has red eyes.
Motormaster, Blastoff, and Swindle all have purple, Onslaught and Brawl have Yellow. Trypticon has yellow, Runamuck has like 5 different eye colors. I think it's a bit more varied than you believe.
@@PerspectiveEnd okay, fair enough. Still think Soundwave should've had yellow eyes, since his original toy had them in the first place. (That and I think G1 show designs + toy designs is a much better way to design them imo.)
@@michaeldunlap1032 I disagree. Everyone who had the toy saw the show, but not everyone who saw the show had the toy. So doing that is sacrificing what a large chunk of the audience wants to appeal to the memories of a very few. And even among those people who had the toy there's still a large chance they would prefer it to look like the show.
Sideswipe was the first Siege figure I got. It was the figure that got me into collecting Transformers again. I loved it so much that even when I sold it after getting Kingdom Sideswipe, I had to get another one. Sideswipe's my favorite TF character after all, so why not have two versions of him? I got the 35th anniversary Prime and Magatron later on. I wasn't necessarily a fan of the battle damage deco, but what I liked about Siege was that their alt modes were different enough to be Cybertronian while at the same time not too far from being earth concept vehicles. Plus the plastics seemed better in quality.
It always hurts my soul to hear when people sell a figure like that. There are figures in my collection I will absolutely sell, but the one's that got me back into the fandom, even if I get a better version, will never leave the collection for sentimental reasons. And yes the more Cyber Punk, than Cyber Tron altmodes were super cool, I loved those SOOOOOO much.
You’re the first person who likes the Siege Optimus w the ER trailer lol Which is funny as my biggest gripe with the Siege Prime was I didn’t like any of its versions w trailers lol
@@PerspectiveEnd well I never liked it w a trailer, the non-realistic alt mode clashed ALOT with the earth style trailer in my eyes LazyEyebrow Reviewer also pointed it out, ER Primes trailer really doesn’t fit to me w Sieges alt mode idk, fits every earth mode Prime I’ve got tho imo Bay Prime, BB Prime, Holiday Prime hell even Classics Prime with some finaggling lol With a few over the top weapons tho and several Cogs, I can see the ER trailer blending better w Siege. Ik a lot of ppl don’t like it when alt modes are just exploding with weapons but I feel Siege alt modes should embrace MechTech looking vibes lol
Honestly it would’ve great if wheel jack was in this line even tho the earth rise figure is decent also what do you think of the Netflix nemesis prime figure
Stay tuned on Wednesday. That's all I'll say for now. Oh and it's a Black repaint of a great figure, with accessories made for a much larger figure just repackaged with it.
I have most of the Siege voyagers. The only ones I don't have are Siege Megatron, Springer, Thundercracker and Apeface. They are all good. I love how Siege Starscream's articulation is basically the great legs of Siege Prime and the great arms of Siege Soundwave with added wrist swivels. Prime's truck mode is cool, Starscream's jet mode is nostalgic and Soundwave's Spaceship mode is cool looking to me because I still have imagination.
I was able to nab a Siege Starscream at my local Walmart 2 years ago and that was the thing that sold me on the entire line, and it was my first figure in the entire Trilogy.
It's a little surprising that that's the one that got you in, cause that is one of the ones with the biggest flaws, the chest coming off when you don't want it to.
@@PerspectiveEnd I mean I didn't really see any review of Starscream before I got him and the chest piece on mine held together fine, but still fell off occasionally.
Yeah siege was a great transformers toy line it's my one of my top 6 best transformers toyline which is earthrise, masterpiec, combiner wars, studio series, titans return, and fall of cybertron
@@djbrunson2736 I don't know that Masterpiece counts as a toyline in the traditional sense. There's like 1 to 2 new Masterpieces every year. I agree that they are fantastic. But they feel kind of Separate from the Idea of a toyline. And yeah, as someone who Hates headmasters, Titans Return was SHOCKINGLY good. I should have hated that line and I couldn't bring myself to, I actually ended up with a really high opinion of it. And I despise Headmasters.
The Regular Siege Optimus FOR SURE. It's still one of the most fun beloved figures in my collection. I can't tell you the number of people who've messaged me being like "I bought the Siege one on your recommendation, and I loved it so much I got rid of the ER one." Galaxy Upgrade you can skip, it's not fun.
The Paint for Netflix hound in general was dull. I think they were going for a Patina which is technically a hard thing to achieve, but the amount of work for the amount of payoff is in a bad ratio.
@@PerspectiveEnd Siege Hound was one of the best painted figures in the line, having tons of small details, so the netflix figure was at a huge disadvantage.
I got Siege Ratchet as an early bday present because it was that or pay upwards of $30+ for Universe Ratchet which I don't think I'll get. Only time I paid that much for a deluxe was CW Brawl. Might get reprolabels to make him look more earthly but for now I guess he makes a good heavy medical vehicle. I had CW Ironhide anyway and, personally, I always preferred him as a pick up than a "soccer mom van" as I've called his original alt mode lol. Megatron and Barricade were the only other Siege figures I got but I plan on either getting Siege Hound or Universe Hound.
Soccer wasn't big enough in the US for there to be a soccer mom van. I always just thought of it as an old person van. Hound's a good pick, but I'd also recommend that Optimus and Jetfire.
@@PerspectiveEnd Ah. That's just what I always jokingly called it. I don't think I'll have room for Jetfire in my collection and I already have ER and Classics Optimus. Plus the Siege ones harder to find now. It does look good though
@@ratchetmechani2002 Jetfire isn't like Titanic or anything, he's the size of a Gigapower. Basically like an inch or so taller than a MP Prime. Part of the allure of that Prime is how he feels in your hands. It doesn't quite Translate into looks. It is the best FEELING figure in my collection.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, but I don't want anymore than 9 figures or so for each faction. Maybe I'll cheat a bit on that though since Elita-1's grown on me, especially that POTP figure. Cons are gonna be hard though since I want to have Slipstream and my only affordable options are Cyberverse, which would probably look outta place. But hey I used an Animated figure in a G1 display to begin with and have characters like Airachnid so why not I guess.
Great line of figures. There's definitely some that I wish I had been able to get but I still got a fair bit of these. I can't decide if I like Siege or Kingdom better. Kingdom has a slight edge because I love Beast Wars and it gave us an utterly amazing Cyclonus. But Siege probably has the advantage in that most of the figures are great with minimal flaws.
I think that Kingdom has been petering out for a while now. Wave 1 was Awesome, wave 2 was good, and wave 3 was terrible. So I think Siege wins handedly, even if it hurts me to say it.
I heard rumors that takara is going to make an mp skyfire, it's probably just going to be the siege figure but with faux forming, plastic issues, bad back, kibble city alt mode, smooth to a fault and $600.
I got into collecting Siege quite late, but I do have a few: Red Alert Brunt Thundercracker Megatron Magnus Laserbeak Ravage Shockwave Optimus (Leader) Astrotrain Optimus
@@PerspectiveEnd I mean red alert is an alternative to those who missed out so yeah. If I had started collecting earlier in siege I may have gotten flywheels/skytread to go with my battletrap (POTP)
Nah. See Jetfire is like 3 Different guys. There's the one from the UT, the one from the movies, and the one from the WFC games, Skyfire is the one from G1, and it makes sense. He's nothing like those other three.
When you see 2 perspectives for Cog. Both from here and Thew Addams. Yes this comment might be pointless but I just wanted to point out the different views. I have cog and it kinda gives more gun options and with both Cog and Sixgun. Its fantastic
In terms of 6 guns I'm going to try to get hold of an old college friends to help me upgrade kit turning that his arm cannon Turns into a Fist with fully articulated fingers
@@PerspectiveEnd Hound would be a good choice. I also want Impactor, mostly because he’s one of the few characters I actually liked in the Siege animated series.
@@PerspectiveEnd I wouldn’t mind having Barricade, though to be honest, what I would really like to own in terms of a G1 representation of a Bayverse character, it’d be Newage’s Alonzo. Because I really want a Decepticon version of a corrupt cop.
I do recommend getting siege impactor he's plenty fun Though the gap fillers for his legs are kind of required but he is good in every area accept for the hollowness Like he's a mainline figure with an ab crunch
@@PerspectiveEnd well fair enough, but I still don't think he's to blame for the whole wheeljack fiasco I'd say blame the idiot who decided to give crosshair a figure over wheeljack instead of putting crosshair in gen selects where figures like him belong That or whoever decided on impactors opponent, like yeah mirage was a dumb idea why couldn't it have been another character like bludgeon who also was more prominent in the comics that would have been so much better
@@PerspectiveEnd because stupid That or someone at Hasbro thought the contest meant wheeljack and spinnister couldn't have figures at all and was only after they put crosshair in wheeljacks place that they were told otherwise which is probably why we still got spinnister anyways
@@rhyperiorhunter7339 See that's another reason why I think they didn't Expect Wheeljack and Spinister to lose. They clearly put no thought into the pairing of the team that actually won. They were just doing a throw away because they expected it to fail anyways.
@@PerspectiveEnd I agree, that chest problem was bad, had to customize a bit...but I agree with you on seige optimas, beautiful figure...just wish he was as good in the show as he was as a figure 🤣
@@ciphergarden8281 Here here. This Optimus is an Awful character. What did you end up doing to Starscreams chest. I drilled it out and stuffed it with copper wire.
@@PerspectiveEnd I drilled it out too but I actually had some spare pins from figures I used strictly spare parts....kinda felt like shockwave doing some crazy robo surgery 🤣🤣
In my opinion siege was a good toyline because not only did it give us really good figures but it also brought back alot of characters we haven't had figures of in a while like cog and brunt the last time I remember them getting a toy was back in g1 so yeah good toyline
See I wouldn't call that a reason that is good, that might be a reason we liked it, but those are different from good. I'd say Siege was good because of the quality of materials, and engineering.
Because this is just the way like all my videos go. If it bothers you, what some people have said helps is slowing the video down to .75% speed. I've listened to it like that and it sounds good basically no distortion.
So Jetfire is weird way back in the beginning there was some legal trouble and that meant they couldn't use the name for him the came up with, so in the original cartoon he was called Skyfire, and that was basically the only time until now he looked like this.
Glad to hear that, and it really doesn’t bother me that I never got them. Hasbro Pulse and BBTS are still a thing so I could get them for a while longer.
@@titanstudios2683 And he flies in the sky. And Jet's aren't the only think that flies. By that logic his name could be Bird Fire. There have been Jetfire's before that were jets. This one in particular I think should be considered Skyfire.
I agree that the line is very good, but it is not perfect, there are small details that stand out, such as Megatron's head, Starscream's chest or a bad Shockwave figure (in my opinion) but yes, it is much better than the Earthrise line and the rest of the figures are super cool Nice video by the way bro uwu
Thank you. I wouldn't claim it's a perfect line. There were bad QC issues with the early figures, I mention that I had to go in and fix them my self. But I don't know your problem with Megatrons head. Siege Megatron has maybe a little uninspiring of a head, but it's fine, not like Earthrises. And then what's your problem with Shockwave? I'm genuinely interested, that's a really fun figure IMO.
I would say that Shockwave's problem is that it brings with it that bunch of parts that it doesn't use at any time in the series, the figure is very good and I like how it looks, but for those figures it ends up costing more and I think that's where it fails :/ and in megatron, the head sometimes sinks by itself, that part is a little fragile However, I love all the figures, less apeface UnU
@@sebasdelgado7791 I mean yeah, I agree Megatron's Neckflap was completely unacceptable. But I wouldn't hold Shockwave not using his powered up from in the siege show against him. The show didn't have time to do anything, three quarters of the characters don't even Transform. Ultra Magnus doesn't separate into his white Prime mode. I wouldn't hold the show against any one of these figures. And what's wrong with having extra stuff?
there's nothing wrong with it, I just think it's a bit expensive :( and thanks for hearing my problems with the figures, I have no friends who like transformers thanks and hope there is a new video soon;D
@@sebasdelgado7791 I know what you mean, I've got friends who are ab best Semi Interested in it. Next video shouldn't be too far off. I'm really getting the hang of making these now. The only trouble I may have is the fact that my phone literally broke 10 minutes after finishing this video, so I'll have no camera for a few days. And I can see how you'd find him too expensive if you don't like the add on bits. To be fair, I don't use them combined with him much my self, instead I have them combined into their drone form, and have them on a stand, following him around, because Shockwave is absolutely the kind of guy who would wouldn't bother putting effort into trying to kill you him self. He'd just tell a floating gun to do it.
I did not buy him because 1 who has space, and 2 giant parts former. A decision I kind of regret now. So I forgot to mention him, but there was this great picture someone found of Omega making the Yaranaika face in the 1984 G1 comic, and I knew it had to be included anyway.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah tell me how alright you’ll be when Roadbuster or someone rips out your spine and makes you eat it lol. (If you have a discord I will gladly like to talk more about stuff like this lol.)
I missed out on siege because I was more aimed at studio series. And my first transformers earthrise figure was transformers earthrise deluxe class smokescreen
@@PerspectiveEnd well one time I went to ross and wanted to get a siege but there wasn’t any siege figures. There where two transformers bootleg figure and one of them which thew Adems dubbed acceleraintor. I ended up getting a lego dimension lego set for the Xbox 360
It might just be a problem for the Canadian releases, but the only 2 Siege figures I currently have (Out of Cog, Sideswipe, Chromia, Firedrive, Racecar Patrol, and Omega Supreme) Firedrive and Omega are the only two not to have some form of breakage yet. (Omega has some stressing on the rocket, also Swindler has no issues, but Roadhandler broke so it doesn't count)
Swindle and Roadhandler aren't from Siege, but I'm sorry to hear all that none the less, I haven't had any issues like that. That's a real bummer man, I'd be so mad if any of these broke, I love them all so much.
It honestly wasn't too big a deal for me. I almost never transform chromia, a little sticky tack will hold on so Cog'left forearm and Sideswipe'sshoulder cannon pretty good. Kinda sucks, but I tend to have bad luck with figures breaking in the first place.
Only siege figures I ended up getting was Red Alert, Chromia, and the military micromasters. Should have gotten Ironhide instead of Chromia. I'm probably going to try to hunt after a Shockwave, Hound, Skytread, and Spinister if I can find them online.
Mostly agree, ER STARSCREAM'S WINGS SHOULD BURRNNN, but i think the thing is, you can get ER prime for netflix for almost a voyager. Missing the blast effects those packs normally have, but almost voyager price, So yeah, i got that release
Ah Siege Megatron my hatred for that figure is legendary bought him from my local Walmart as he just sat there for almost a month (red flag when it comes to my Walmart.) and I got him when I was with a buddy got him out of the box thought he looked good especially with the sword plugged into his back and folded down to made it look like the old gun barrel such a good look then I transformered and oh god that’s when the problem started it was so clumsy with its transformation I was shocked it came from Siege then all I had to do was get the sword pegged on to the front of the Fusion canon and it would not work I tried everything and it wouldn’t work so I went fuck this and tried to put it back into robot mode and as if to continue to fuck with me the fusion canon came off the right arm and stayed pegged on the left arm that was when I noticed the peg was gone it turned out that I had the audacity to transform it back to robot mode and the canon decided it’s peg and it should see other people I was furious I didn’t have it out of the box for more then 10 minutes before it broke and it was destroyed I returned got a refund and proclaimed that the Titans Return Megatron was my one true Megatron ya sure the peg on the right arm is loose, but at least it hasn’t fucking broke.
@@PerspectiveEnd Here's my solution: buy either Movie 07 Crankcase or Mech Ideas Piston. As for Fulcrum, here. ru-vid.com/show-UCB67cpNPLgh-0xs0Bb5wulg. This guy's an acquaintance of mine, commission him, you'll be all set. I recommend the POTP Blast-Off mold.
