Autobase Aichi has uploaded some in-hand images of the new War For Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Class Decepticon Impactor.
Impactor and Mirage were the winners of the Hasbro’s 2018 Transformers Generations Fan Vote and they would be part of the new Siege toyline with a new mold for each one. Impactor’s mold comes with a robot mode inspired by his appearance in the Marvel UK G1 comics and he’s got a Cybertronian tank mode, but there’s a second variant of the mold as Decepticon Impactor.
This variant is part of the Siege Fan Vote Battle 3-Pack together with Holo Mirage (Siege Mirage in blue clear plastic) and Powerdasher Aragon (Siege Cog with new head and deco). This Impactor mold features a slightly different deco, a Decepticon Insignia and a new IDW head.
Impactor proves to be a very articulated and fun figure, specially if you attach some Weaponizers extra guns on him. The images also show him next to Siege Mirage, Brunt and Ironhide for size comparison. We are sure your optics will be pleased with this mold and the remolded head.
Check out all the images, as well as a video review, after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Off the top of my head, I don't think so… If it does it's minimal for structural reasons. The thing is a BEAST though… its very well considered in all aspects of its design and it's already at the threshold of being too big and heavy to be fun. You need to be strong to even move it's ratchets. Being heavier wouldn't make it any better

Does Gabriel have a decent amount of die cast? That doesn't really matter but curious
Treadshot 2.0
Gabriel is the best (and IMO, the definitive) Masterpiece Omega Supreme. Its aesthetics don't match Siege but it's one of the most impressive figures in my stupidly large display. I got a second one because at $170 it just didn't make sense to NOT buy.
Wei Jiangs version is also very impressive and IMO its aesthetics match Seige better.
But Seige is also awesome, very playable, and also has a very cool looking rocket. You kind of can't go wrong no matter what decision you make.

Tough call. I don't have Gabriel only because I had already bought Siege Omega, then Gabriel seemed to have gone on sale for $180 indefinitely, otherwise I'd be in the same spot as you deciding which to get.

I collect a few different fandoms. So I really have no choice but to cherry pick
HunterGreen2005
If Omega is your favorite and can afford both, mine as well get both while my prices are alright? You will have more display options.
If you get one over the other, you probably just end up thinking about the one you didn't get.

Kinda my thoughts too. But I'm a newbie still so wanted to ask around

Quality and figure wise, you will probably get more of a kick out of dx9’s as it will have sturdier plastic. I’d recommend it over the siege one while on sale. Only thing is the aesthetics might not match, since one is more toon based while the other is detailed for the siege line. But in general dx9 is probably a better purchase.
edstuff
I noticed that. What do you think of the figure?
octobotimus
Actually right now there is a sale on dx9 omega so they are pretty much the same price
Blam320
I don't have either, but DX9's offer is going to be a lot more expensive, and is generally meant more for Masterpiece collectors. Siege Omega is going to be a much better toy, and will be cheaper. Siege Omega is also compatible with the Earthrise Deluxe bases, and I think also with Titans Return bases as well.

Hey guys. Newbie here getting back into transformers. I have a question for you guys that have siege Omega as well as dx9 Gabriel. Which do you prefer? Omega supreme was always my fav as a kid
Treadshot 2.0
If anybody does that, it will most likely be Takara, and it might be a crowdfund like Grand Maximus was
Treadshot 2.0
I will not rest until my Titan Class Tidal Wave is in my hands.
Don't even change the Armada design significantly… just do that, but better.
TargetmasterJoe
No. If anyone knows anything, they’ll say it here.

Any news of a Guardian (blue) version of WFC Omega Supreme?
Thanks in advance.

Also because this version he's a Decepticon from the Gladiatoral pits of Kaon…
ADavis
Also the new head can fit in the story of an injury requiring it be rebuilt and it was made more armored. Learning from the fight from Mirage.
[Wing_Saber-X]
Definitely the 3-pack version. Gives off a Gladiator-esque vibe with the new head sculpt.
Crim
That head makes all the difference (and the extra paint apps). I really wish that three packed Impactor was the retail version.
