Toy Review - Siege Greenlight

[Maruten]

I'll be happy to see the end of these wretched stick-thin molds. TR Arcee-from-Blurr is far better than any of them. That said, Greenlight is a pretty high note to go out on because those greens are really nice. Wouldn't have been worth additional cost and/or effort it if I hadn't had the option of a free US Prime trial though.

Oh, I know, but I'll still be happy to see the end of them! I wanted to like Lancer but the colours, which I expected to like, don't quite work for me.

Regarding her color scheme, I hope she's connected to Springer. Like a student for example.

I got Greenlight today. A good redeco of an average mould.

Looking at Trev's photos I think I need to get a Siege Chromia to replace my LG Chromia and then I need to find a Nautica also.

Didn't notice until I was playing with Lancer today, but this version of the mould doesn't have the 5mm port on the forearms that Novastar and Moonracer did. Not much of an issue for Greelight given Dazzlestrike doesn't need to plug anywhere, but a bit of a nuisance for Lancer who has the same gun as Novastar, but nowhere to store it in car mode. Means if you want to attach the gun you have to mount the combiner hand at the back of the car and peg it into that. I've never liked that look as it makes a long skinny car look ever longer and hence even skinnier.

The mold is bland but I felt the need for more fembots, now that I have lancer (and greenlight on the way) I honestly have enough (to make the second female combiner, kinda makes up for my lost megatronia as well, damn you-know-who), my personal fav for the mold was the heavy retool into chromia, only because she stood out while the others are akin to the seekers, but with even worse kibble issues, we all know about junk in the trunk about hunchbacks...really?

Greenlight I honestly find is the weakest of the mold with the retooled wrist (lack of ports and how they transform) and her colors are boring, her weapon friend isn't much better other than just being included)

I just don't like the way those same forearms fold over in vehicle mode, its not really elegant and MAYBE its just me but I feel like I have to force it over its car components to click into place

There doesn’t seem to be a Chromia review thread. I’ve avoided her based on my expierence of Moonracer, but she’s shelfwarming everywhere and maybe those differences are enough?

She’s a little step up from Moonracer with slightly improved articulation and better kibble placement.
Also I think she looks cute next to Henkei Ironhide so I’m happy.

According to this that mold is a heavy retool prime series arcee, the chest confirms that

Yeah it’s pretty obvious if you put the two figures together. Someone went nuts on the CAD file for Arcee to make Chromia.
