Great news for fellow Canadian fans! Friend site Cybertron.ca confirms that the new War For Cybertron Siege Voyager Apeface is out At Canadian Retail.
Cybertron.ca member Autovolt 127 was lucky to find Siege Apeface at Toys”R”Us in St. Laurent, Quebec. We hope this a hint that Apeface would be spotted at US retail any time soon.
Happy hunting!

As much as I'm thankful for this figure…this is one of those where I wonder why they executed it like they did. Tail end of Siege, they changed the coloration choices for atleast in the legs. Some would say the body too because nobody expected uncolored plastic. I wonder did they just want to get out a mold they had already designed…figuring people would buy this just to pair him with his partner (which I assume is coming).

I’m in Alberta, found him in an EB Games.

Overheard there have been multiple sightings in my area.
Looks like I'm going Ape hunting tomorrow.

I'm only ever been honest with my collecting. Only G1 and movie toys have ever interested me. Movies only because it got me back, not that I actually care not like the majority of the movies that came out. I'm only here for nostalgia of G1 and if that ever ends my relationship with Transformers ends.

Yeah, I agree that the kibble and gaps in Ape mode, blocky shape in jet mode and off white colors in Bot mode ruin what should've been a great figure considering the quality of the rest of the Voyager class figures in SIEGE's lineup.
I'm only grabbing him because it's just $25 coming out of a $40 credit that Amazon had to give me, who'll likely end up giving me another credit for screwing up the shipment of him as well.
Maybe he'll look better in hand but as of now… SIEGE Apeface = Free placeholder/cannon fodder.

lol..I didn’t want to derail this thread but this was exactly my thoughts yesterday. Apeface can now be marked of the MIA list…it was personal for me because I owned one as a kid. I personally feel like they should at least redo the combiner teams also.
About Apeface, can’t get past the milky white plastic. Gotta figure out some way to dye his main body…then remove the poorly added ‘damage’. His bio says he is a filthy character but I always liked the clean and contrasting colors of the G1 figure.
YoungPrime
Oh I agree. Other than Black Arachnia (who could kinda fit in with G1) I want no parts of BW. And what most BW fans don't realize is that Hasbro know's that most people who are into TF feel the same way. So they should be happy to get a BW character here and there.
As for the continuous G1/CHUG hunt, there's still a good 80 characters that haven't seen the light of day yet. New (IDW characters other just Drift and Rung) and old (Allicons, Banzai-Tron, Bludgeon, Deluxe Insecticons, etc.).
For me when it comes to "Transformers" all I think of is G1.

At least you're honest. Many wouldn't say anything like that while that is exactly how they feel.

While I wouldn't be upset, WfC part 3 being BW will be the year I take a break from TF. Hell, probably even reevaluate if I wanna keep buying as the last few years has made my collection nearly perfect already. I don't love Transformers, I only love G1 so no way in hell I'm buying BW stuff.

Feel free to post pics.

Snapdragon isn't going to be a Selects figure because that's been a line for repaints and retools and there hasn't been a retail figure that turns into a dragon and a jet that could take that spot.
Snapdragon is gonna be retail. And he'll probably be announced sooner than later.
Autovolt 127
Autovolt here.
Good christ, seeing Apeface at TRU on Saturday was absolutely insane, i never thought i'd see him so soon or even at retail at all.
This was THE ONLY ONE they had in stock, i had to buy it.

Two reviews? Mind posting links to the reviews you found.

I'm really anxious for that figure. Astrotrain is one of my favorite Decepticons.
YoungPrime
The only BW I'd be interested in is Blackarachnia.
Windsweeper II
I am happy we are getting Apeface at all.
I wouldn't be upset if WFC3 ends up being BW centric either.
I'm most interested in BW for the fiction and I'm hoping to be able to start a 3p legends scaled BW collection. But if there's any BW, toys that look good in WFC3 I'll snap them up for sure.
YoungPrime
With Apeface it's a case for me of just being happy to finally get a character that's never been released in the CHUG lineup (at the right scale anyway).
It's starting to become hard to defend G1 against BW fans who want a break from G1 CHUG lines when we mostly get the same G1 characters over and over again.
Windsweeper II
Right. That's the part that sucks the most.
If Apeface and Snapdragon had been in TR this wouldn't have been a problem.
