Time for another round of Transformers War for Cybertron Siege galleries here at TFW2005! Today’s primary gallery is for the recently dropped Refraktor – aka Reflector (damn copyrights). Refraktor is technically a single deluxe figure with his own space ship like alt mode. However, if you buy 3 of them – you can combine them into a space camera! This is a throw back to the classic Reflector figures from G1. Does it make sense? Who cares, space camera! Overall the figures are well done individually, capturing the feel and colors of the cartoon Reflector from the past with a splash of modern upgrade. The camera mode is great, each one of their shields is a third of the camera lens, and each of their weapons is a third of the camera tripod. Really great way to update the original gimmick.
In addition to the Refraktor update we’ve added very basic updates for two more Siege figures – Galactic Man Shockwave and Deluxe Red Alert. You can find their stub galleries below, we may add more shots to them over time.
Read on to check out all three figures courtesy of site sponsor TFSource!

Personally I’d prefer a bigger train front part since it’s tiny compared to the train body
REDEEMED
I was just wondering the same thing.

I\'m still hoping for a kit that adds on to the back end of the shuttle to smooth out that unfinished look.
Is anybody out there going to save us from this atrocity!?

I will never forgive nightscreams hair. Anyway, I don't give a crap about Astrotrain as a character, but man I've always loved the toy designs. The armored up voyager gimmick is a kicker.
Chaos Muffin
Your pics are always the tits!
RiD/Car Robots were sooooooo good.
Especially after the Beast Machines crap & Nightscream’s hair.
Was dying for the cars to return.
Optimax Prime
Kinda seeing that on both my Optimuses and my Megatron
deathsheadII
is that supposed to be battle damage on astrotrain? looks like its been dipped in rubbing alcohol and the paint smeared off

If you look at that picture of all the Astrotrain toys, from the original toy to the Titan\'s Return. Have you noticed how the \"train\" mode has gotten longer and the \"shuttle\" mode has gotten flatter?

Where’d you get the stands for the seekers?

I think I will bust him out at our next orgy.
Optimax Prime
My advice, rename the TR one
Kenchanayoh
That\'s some nasty paint

I own Titan Return Astrotrain but if I end up buying Siege Astrotrain one of them has to be renamed to Astroglide!

It\'s a great looking figure, I just think it could have been larger in size. It doesn\'t have to be as big as jetfire, just big enough to be a sizeable challenger. 3rd party makers take note. DX9 chighur is looking likely to be my next purchase if nothing else appears.
Protostar
Oh cool, I'm an Astrotrainian then

I'm fine with Voyagers + shit ton of accessories for a Leader pricepoint, but the accessories need to truly feel worth the 20 more $, or the figure should have noticeably more engineering, parts count, mass, or otherwise feel like a figure too expensive to sell as a solo Voyager. Studio Series 44 Optimus' trailer & accessories feel worth it, but I can't bring myself to say the same for Siege Shockwave. Aside from that, I'm fine with it, but also I still want the occasional Leader sized figure. I don't want to eventually have to be buying Commander Class figures that are just Leaders with extra accessories too just to get Leaders at all.

Love my Astro!

I wish the Earthrise version was different from the Cybertron one. Just the removal of the "cr@pple damage" paint would do for me, but something like a cleanly painted version of his white iteration would also be welcomed.

For me, not about the name. I just kinda dig, expect, want a size class slightly bigger than Voyager. After initial fiddling, the extra parts on these haven't been something I go back to. If someone asked – bigger core figure or Voyager + parts, I'd always choose bigger core. That being said, I want it to work in tandem and scale with the rest of line. I don't like the "and we'll do these characters again but bigger in Leader" style.
But, because these are done well, and we did get a great Commander figure, I am ok rolling with it. If it works for the masses, so be it, I'll go for the ride.

I am genuinely curious if people still
bothered or on the fence with the enhanced voyager concept would be fine if the name was swapped with commander class so leaders could still be the big ones. I have yet to hear an argument against it that wasn't "that's what it meant when I signed up".
