Is he tempted depending on how the colors came out. If they look like the Siege 3 pack, pass. If they put a little effort, I’m in.

So the 1-Step Starscream and Prowl packaging refreshes have been released both in the Philippines and the US:

I got my Origins Jazz in today from Pulse. I'm honestly impressed, a few joints are REALLY tight, but unlike any other Jazz I have, all the limbs stay on without trouble and it goes into either mode solidly. Just for that alone I'm making this 'my' shelf Jazz, since my nephew is obsessed with the RTS one and POTP has both the Smokeout labels, and his legs fall off if touched.

I got him this week and have not had the opportunity to open due to work, etc. Can't wait to check it out.

It's the lively proportions that do it for me. The budget used to be a lot higher but it didn't buy proportions like that. These things used to have stick figure limbs attached to oversized torsos and we thought they were good because the details and articulation were there. We didn't know what we didn't have.

That was sort of the impression I had. I wish I had a transforming skateboard for him (no, I don't have the Armada minicon one and I don't know if it would fit, though it DID have a post on top...). His wrists and foot pegs would make for a lot of options.

Then again, origins Bumblebee was the only one who could hold the Earthrise bazooka AS a bazooka, so it could be that the shellforming aspect has allowed them more leeway with the Robot Mode articulation and integrity. Like how Big Convoy for a long time was one of the few Primes that could hold his Matrix properly.

The next fan-vote 3-pack should be for three Seekers from the Earthrise molds. I'd love a Sunstorm, Slipstream, and the unreleased Jungle-y one or Blackout.

I've mulled a custom Turbo Board Twins thing out of two Soundbarriers, or maybe a Soundbarrier and a Slitherfang. Just one might not be long enough for a good stance.

I found one at TRU here in Canada the other day. He's really cool! And he looks great alongside Origin Bumblebee.

If only Wheeljack (and Spinister) had won the Siege fan poll instead of Mirage and Impactor. We could have had a Cybertronian-altmoded Siege Wheeljack.

Yeah, I am talking specifically about a first-episode-of-G1-style toy. They knocked both Bumblebee and Jazz out of the park, and I feel like the current team could do Wheeljack justice as well.

I really hope Bumblebee can fit inside him. I'd pay voyager to leader prices to make this happen.

I doult even a voyager would be able to fit a deluxe inside of him, after all, the current trailer for G1 looking OP cannot take a standard deluxe inside of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do him as a voyager, but part of the budget goes on a minifigure that looks like G1 BB, but is very similar to what we got with SS86 Grimlock, while the main figure is a standard deluxe size, also, I doult Hasbro would want to give up a valuable leader slot for Wheeljack, of course, when they originally did G1 pilot, they had no idea that fourty odd years later, they would be making toys based upon that openning scene!
