If you hold it up like Chuck does and shake it, the right leg on mine dangles so to speak.
I will add that in vehicle mode, the non painted wheels is not appealing and perhaps Toyhax will come out with something.
But all in all, still a cool figure in my opinion. I don’t own Ultra Magnus, so that would be a cool photo to see.
Who knows, may get him now.

Look closely at the detailing where the wheels are...LOOK CLOSER and you will see THEY ARE NOT WHEELS

Actually, yea, they kinda are. They're at least meant to be, otherwise they would not have been molded and painted as such on the other side.

The basic layout is already there, and it seems quite a few are clamoring for some nostalgia since the series is almost 20 years old. I, myself think it's about time we got some modern updates. Unless I'm mistaken, I think Sky-byte is the only one to receive an update so far. Obviously I'm not counting the obvious homage in Siege Ultra Magnus.

I'm going to swap them over to the regular "G1" Siege Sideswipe and give the black cannon with red missile to G2 Sideswipe. That'll sooth my "show accuracy" needs. The black and red will still match with G2 Sideswipe, and the original G2 didn't have that shoulder launcher anyway, but a different neon green gun with elongated blue missile.

I'm tempted to get a second set to do something similar for the upcoming Siege Red Alert (since he doesn't come with any shoulder launcher accessories), but I don't know what I'd do with an extra G2 Sideswipe and Slamdance. $50 is a lot of money for an just accessory for an action figure.

I wouldn't want a pin in the leg panels. Sure, I don't like them coming loose so easily, but I wouldn't want the risk of broken parts. Overall, I think it's a very minor issue.

Any hope for bumblebee or other cybertronians, like Kup or Arcee maybe? I really like this line, it's awesome! Maybe the Dinobots too...will be cool!

That's what I have in my display right now, since we don't have a full compliment of Micromaster Soundwave minions just yet. The TR Legends sized minions look a bit too big to really fit in scale with Siege Voyager Soundwave. They really were meant to go with TR Leader Soundwave, after all.

But for some odd reason/good timing, they got Two cases of wave 1 Siege, and one case of wave 2 which resulted in Three Shockwaves, Two UM, and One Galaxy Prime, all on the shelf at the same time. I moved the Prime into 3rd position on the shelf, so anybody who wanted him would have to do a bit of digging, but not too hard. I'm sure next time I go there, at least half of those leaders will be gone.

Your confidence in that there will be any left is too ambitious

Wow, they are tiny. WAY too tiny for my liking.

Is anyone else just going to end up using the TR cassettes/tablets with Siege Soundwave? As imperfect as the TR versions are, size-wise they are much better than the itty bitties in Siege for me.

I'm keeping all the candidates from the last fan vote in the back of my head. We have a new Omega Supreme a new Hound - I'm silently pining for a new Arcee (that doesn't share the Chromia mold), a Deathsaurus, and after we got Overlord finally, I would love to see Hasbro have a go at a leader Star Saber...and like good guy Victory Saber not wackadoo religious zealot IDW Saber...brrr, that guy was creepy.

Kup and the Dinobots though, man, we had them so recently as much as I'd love to see them through the Siege prism I think it'll be a while. A Kup where I don't have to paint the forearms would be rad.

Some may consider this a dick move, but if I ever come across a figure I want really bad, but for some reason can't get it right then, I take it to another aisle and hide it behind some bigger stuff, usually on the bottom shelf. Hasn't failed me yet.

Man if only there was like one with a smirking face how they did with Thundercracker or just an extra stripe of paint or something on another to distinguish them into three characters.
