Via Weibo user 爆料人小明, we have our first look at the packaging of the War For Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Sideswipe.
We are glad to see that Sideswipe comes in the same trapezoidal box style of the previously seen Voyager Optimus Prime and Megatron. We are sure you will really like this new packaging, appealing to the optics and elegant to display, showing a great Sideswipe art on one side.
As an extra bonus, NDA toys has uploaded clear stock images of the Voyager Optimus Prime and Megatron toys we reported before.
Excited about the new Siege line? You can check out the mirrored images after the jump, and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I would hope it would be noneff out of those 3. His prices are very reasonable. Shockwaves lab seems to be focused on MP figures. And the problem with renderforms weapons is he uses resin which is very heavy. The larger guns always weigh too much and make the arm fall down. Not what I would want in a fusion cannon. An ideal fusion cannon would be cast in pieces so it could be hollow on the inside and light weight. And most importantly, no lights or sounds please.

My guess is shockwave lab
Maybe render form or nonnef?

So Siege Deluxes are now in Marvel Legends-Style boxes. They've also pretty much reached the same price point as well. Except for the fact that you get a lot more for your money buying a Transformers Siege Deluxe than you do in a Marvel Legends figure.

Definitely in for Sideswipe and Ironhide. The others are no biggie for me in deluxe scale. Micromasters will be mine though

I think Red Alert will look better personally.

Those are all better card games based on general reception and word of mouth, we had tech specs as recently as Titans Returns, CW and POTP had collector cards etc. Shoving that TCG down the fans throats won't help it sell, it needs to actually be a good game firstly

Dang it,……I'm going to have to buy this wave. Hound has sorta of grown on me. So I'm going to have to buy this wave even though i at first only wanted 3 of the 4.

it's not about the toys it's about adding something to help launch to card game. Further more tech spec cards have been long since gone from toys now I wouldn't mind if they went either route but from a money stand point it would make more sense to get as much TCG merch out as they could so it saturates the TCG market cause they are competing with games like MTG, YuGiOh, Pokemon and others who have been in TCG markets for years.

Because the tcg have nothing to do with the toys, if they added a tcg with that specific character and utilizing the same art style than that would be an OK idea, but addin in unrelated TCG cards or even blind pack just seems pathetic, like a ploy to push their card game which many are projecting to be an eventual failure. Collector cards are way better and harken back to the originals

Definitely loving how this box looks so nice

The angled side and character art sure are "appealing to the optics," just like what Marvel Legends does. But the more eco-conscious part of my brain is griping on how the box could be more compact to reduce plastic usage. Are they hiding a Build a Figure part down there in that corner?
Jtprime17
yes.

FLYWHEELS!
Is he wave 1?

from weibo looks like Hound still has the cybertron defense Hotshot's head in his artwork

My most wanted Seige TF. He's amazing!

If they use the toy line as a spring board in the first wave for the TCG then do something different the next wave I think that would be enough saturation to get interest in the card game cause most TF collectors go for toys anyway. I mean TF collectors have been buying up potp and TR with cards already in the package so why not add TCG cards
Stepper
I definitely like the head of Sideswipe and Optimus Prime, spot similar look to the head of MP12 & MP10

always wondered why they havent done this. It might actually get me to care about the cards.
I also wondered why they dont just put bios on the cards backs , Id be more interested in collecting those cards if they had that.
