Autobase Aichi has uploaded some in-hand images of the new War For Cybertron: Siege Wave 2 Deluxe Weaponizer Six-Gun.

The images come from a YouTube video, and they reveal the robot and alt mode of this very first modern incarnation of Metroplex’s partner. The robot mode is heavily inspired by his G1 toy design, adding a new space ship mode. Similar to Cog, Six-Gun can split into a set of weapons and blasters to be combined with other Siege figures. The images include shots of Siege Ironhide for size comparison and combined mode with all Six-Gun parts.

Check out all the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!
