I need Aimless, Ironhide, Prowl.
Digger
Yeah. Although he did finaly get the colours in Zone. But I still want my boater and pipo. But hey, I’ve come to accept that from the brand unification.
And yeah it’s a bit of a bummer I can’t just buy a bunch of them just by chance. But oil pricing and more involved figures may be the cause of that. And I do like some articulation.

Yes that would have been nice for Takara to have something in more Tokyo Police colours an that is similar to the more cartoon deco of Holi. It's a good example of why making the toys (mostly) the same isn't always ideal when there is a reason for them to not be the same. Or in this case a potential to make something in a cartoon deco – though it would also be a reason to include a more original like alt mode.
I do worry if perhaps the pricing on these might harm their potential success – they are not as easy to impulse buy as an old Armada Minicon 3 pack was. I do like them in general (as I've always adored tiny Transformers) I also appreciate the better joints.
But that feeling of disapointment about the missing team members isn't going to go away in a hurry – I think.
Digger
Yeah I’m looking at both and they have their own unique moldings. So yeah it is pretty much a “cybertronian” alt mode.
And I’m still a bit salty it looks like stakeout and not holi.
Max Tower
Stakeout appears to be heavily based on Swindler. He's certainly not Robocops "Jelly Mould" car mode.
(I'm not buying it as Cybertronian either – despite the writing)
Don't mind me I'm just grumpy – for lack of Fixit & Seawatch.
Digger
I’m not sure what you mean. Stakeout is a brand new mold and the red hot is a pretty big retool for something smaller than legends.

Bumblebee could easily have been one of the 1st (from the point of view of 2007) they didn't know about the "Seekers" then and they also had not retconned in the whole World War 2 thing.
So if you want it to make some sort of sense then The Transformers had to have come to Earth at various times from the 19th Century and before (if you count the Knights) onwards.
Bumblebee is trying to be ambiguous with things like Megatron & the Allspark.
The reason that people don't seem over offended is that continuity is almost non-existant even inside the Bay Movies.
But yes I can poke the Bumblebee Movie with a sharp stick for a few reasons, overall though it doesn't offend me simply as it's better shot that the last mess was. Its a baby step in the right direction anyway – they do keep some thing similar though like the innate immorality of the Autobots for example towards their own species continued existance. Things it's a bit iffy on include how much damage they can take (or not take) or the issues of what if anything is supposed to carry over from the Bayverse (like The Allspark). as without The Allspark they have no reason to be on Earth in the 1st place and endanger the population – as The Decepticon really should not be able to find Earth anyway considering how rediculously far away Cybertron is supposed to be in the Movieverse.

Those Emergency Themed Micromasters are a bit low effort – they couldn't even be bothered to make new vehicle kibble.
Did someone literally spend an afternoon designing them. based on their pre-moulds.
Chinese KO like Micromasters put more effort into their moulds.
Also it ruins the Robo-cop in-joke inherent in Stake-Out and also makes him look more like Barricade. I suppose I should be thankful they bothered to paint them though and I do appreciate that "Red heat" has a proper ladder extension.
I guess I can forgive the faux pas – if they miss-name them I can act like it's not the same character.
This line does irritate me as I know by design it's never going to have complete teams – if we are super lucky we "Might" get some more Micromasters in a later line – but having incomplete teams drives me nuts.

So, for me, my Siege Want List is three Deluxes (Cog, Flywheels, Sixgun), nearly all the Micromasters (no Tape ones, not getting Soundwave) and nearly all the Targetmasters (the bot ones, not the animal ones) from wave 1 & 2.

The thing that’s really hurting prowl is all that white. He needs his police decals to help break up all that monochrome.
Same with jazz, without his racing decals, he’s also a really monochrome figure.

Higher res photos of the micromasters.

Pre-orders are up on Chosen Prime and BBTS.
Fenrys
main reason im skipping on them is that the ones i currently have (am ironhide, t30 chromia, tvm osko if starscream) work great for my collection and im not really interested in replacing them
edit: does anyone have any experience with collecticontoys.com? they've got a lot of siege stuff up for preorder (including wave 2 & parts of wave 3) and seem to be relatively new, but very transformers focused

By the way these are the first stock images of wave 2 micro masters that aren’t cgi renders.

Do you think Prowl has shoulder rockets?
Robbot
Haha it's funny those are the three I want the most. I'll probably pass on prowl and soundwave. But I'll still get sixshot because I love cog and his weaponizer play pattern
Robbot
Same animal mode and name though (that's what tipped people off that they were the same character) also same transfomation scheme. I'm not saying it's not inspired by it, it just doesn't seem very obvious to me. More of a stretch. Just an observation not and attack on OP's logic
Fenrys
nice, though i would prefer to not have to order a whole case (probably passing on ironhide, chromia and starscream), and would prefer to pay upon arrival so ill try to wait for thechosenprime
