    Yeah, revisiting this mould in 2022 made me realise how much of the TFWiki canonised a lot of attitudes I held a decade ago like "all shell forming is bad". Going back and assessing the Fallback version on his own terms I actually love this guy and now the Siege Seekers are one of my favourite moulds of all time.

      i thought shell forming is when you have like half of the car behind the character (as a shell basically) and 1/4th on each leg, as a solid piece. this model here has big panels but it's far from having like "whole front of the car used as a cape" :D personally i like when you see the car parts on the bot mode and can make out which car it is. what i don't like are fake parts like the fake front windows on the chest of the studio series primes or the g2 laser prime. or the fake hood on... i think it was hot rod

      The HftD subline was the pinnacle, though. I remember when I got Battle Blade Bumblebee, I was like "they're never gonna top this thing at the retail level." And they haven't, either.🤷🏽‍♂️ Same with the retooled Leader class Battle Hook Optimus and the Voyager class Battle Blade Optimus.

      Even though ROTF was written during that writers block which overall made the movies plot a little goofy, It's still my favorite Transformers movie. The toys that came from the movie were awesome and around two years ago I completed my SS Devastator and am currently working on getting the rest of the parts for the Devil Savior Devastator. If it wasn't for that movie I probably would have way more money to get other things though.

    I had the good fortune to meet the designer of this toy Alex Kubalsky in a pub once. He talked about how he liked to make the transformations dynamic as well as both end modes. That's why the guns are in his hands. So he can be exploding out of his alt mode already fighting. I also showed him the alternative configuration of the leg kibble where you rotate it 180 and position it over the tops of the hips to form armour. It cleans up the legs a lot and fits like it was always supposed to go there. Better than the official configuration. I asked Alex if that was always the intention and Hasbro got the photos and instructions wrong. He said no, but it was actually better that way than how he designed it.

    I think the Fallback recolor looks so much better to me,but that could also just be my repaint bias though;I usually just prefer repaints,such as:legacy Silverstreak, Siege Crosshairs, United Ricochet/Stepper, TFCC Barricade, Netflix Deep Cover, RoTF Smokescreen, HFTD Payload, g1 color RoTF Mixmaster, AoE Tracks (or Hotshot on the box for some reason), GS Exhaust, and Kingdom Shadow Panther.

    The Fallback repaint is so good. I have him, it looks like a desert mission or a safari vehicle, and the permanently attached gun makes more sense for him than for Brawn.
    One of the things I love the most about his mold, is how relatively little paint it needs, multiple details are little pieces of plastic put together with screws. All the roof pieces are opaque plastic instead of the usual transluscent roof/window piece with paint. That (as well as the functional truck bed) is something this mold shares with another mold I love, Generations Kup

    Looking back at these old Bayverse toys is quite fascinating to me. It kinda feels like it was the Wild West of Transformers - we've had good toys, bad toys, big ones, little ones, shellformers, weird gimmicks, characters that didn't make it into the main films but appeared in some tie-in media elsewhere, the whole lot. Quite a nostalgic era too, since that's when I first got into Transformers.

    Insert clear plastic is what we should have more often to prevent the figure from breaking. Just like we got with the Legacy Arcee figure. You'd expect the whole front of the motorcycle to be clear plastic due to it having a window there but no, it's a separate piece. Either that or just make the windows on a car just opaque plastic.

    The roof gun makes the vehicle design work for me. It's very different to what we tend to think an Autobot vehicle mode should be.
    The roof parts being on the arms gives it extra light when pointing the SMGs.
