Didn't get to try Siege until the spoiler pack Nemesis Prime, but I agree the limb proportions are generally much better.
Earthrise Optimus Prime to Be Reissued!
- Thread starter The Predaking
- Start date
Yep that's pretty much me, I didn't pay attention to it until I realized I did want it a year or two later and then saw the aftermarket prices.
They really don't necessarily need to stick to TFTM for any accessories they include. E.g. Hot Rod came with his toy's guns, Starscream came with Megatron's chair from MtMtE Part 1, and Swoop is coming with swords for him and Grimlock.
With those as precedents, they could certainly include a few accessories from other sources. I'd be really surprised if he doesn't at least include his axe. Maybe a Megatron gun, unless that comes with Megatron instead. Maybe the key to Vector Sigma? None of those are really original, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment on any other items that might stand out as being particularly associated with Optimus.
Color change paint so when you do something (UV exposure, dunk it in ice water, whatever) he turns grey? I haven't seen color-change paint on Transformers since G2, unless I'm mistaken.
I'm trying to figure out how 'death' can be an accessory, we already got it as a complete figure. Several times if you count Starscream's clear releases.

I think that Prime's battle-damaged, near-death look would be kind of interesting to see, too. Like still being the traditional color, but having warped antennae, shattered windows, the abdomen gash, cracks here and there, etc. While we're on the subject, doing a similar, beaten-up-but-still-functional look for Megs would be cool and equally welcome.

I imagine they'll hide the leg wheels this time, and I'm curious how they'll do it. Third parties have found a dozen ways to do it that are all simpler than MP-44's madness.
Either make him out of GPS-style plastic or include a Ziploc bag filled with gray dust.
We'll have to find some Unicron cultists to point it out to us.
Just, please dear god, don't use the Siege leg engineering anymore.
Siege Commander class Jetfire is getting rereleased too.
He has been my favorite Commander class figure to date. Highly recommend if you don't currently have him.
And as of today the pre-orders on Hasbro Pulse are sold out.
It's sold out on BBTS too!
