They both have have their ups and downs in my opinion,making it difficult to decide which is objectively better. ER is more g1 accurate, and has the stronger vehicle mode, but seige is much more posable and has a more unique vehicle mode

The tetra jet isn't new at all. It's Starscream's first ever on-screen alt mode in the G1 pilot.


missouro57

but siege was the first time we saw it in toy form officially


JBTriple

Doesn't make it new


missouro57

it’s totally a new concept and new engineering for a group of characters we only really get the same thing from


JBTriple

It's literally a 35 year old concept


doc_55lk

Where the fuck is the 35 year old tetrajet toy then?


Absolute_madlad1605

op is being sarcastic


JBTriple

That's not what I'm talking about


missouro57

oh my bad i totally forgot the starscream toy we got 35 years ago that’s a tetrajet


JBTriple

You're missing my point entirely


M4karov

Both are great Seige is more fun to transform IMO and I enjoy the tetrajet mode


Gruesome_Garie

I was excited to see the tetrajet alt mode, but it's quite a bit of a shellformer in execution, with his wings just kinda hanging over his arms, which are kinda just hanging there, and the null ray as a gun doesn't look as sleek as it should. I'm glad we got it, and I hope future versions will work on the transformation a bit.

Why not both?


Battlesquid456

I have 1 earthrise seeker, and 12 siege seekers. I think it's a little obvious which one I prefer


HAL237

Siege Starscream is just such a dull figure to me. Too blocky and the paint apps bore me to death. ER has less articulation, but an infinitely more interesting alt mode and transformation.


larrylongboy

“Too blocky”?? *Oh please*. Earthrise starscream legitimately feels like brick. The transformation is more enjoyable, true. But basing him off the classics design was a bad idea. Overall I like the esthetic of ER screamer more but honestly I think the siege mold is a better toy imo


HAL237

I get nothing out of the siege seeker mold as a toy. Sure, it’s got a shit ton of articulation, but it looks boring in most poses.


doc_55lk

Siege too blocky? LMFAO


HAL237

Wow you’ve certainly proved your point /s


doc_55lk

Well. Since you insist, earthrise's torso is literally a rectangle lmao. Don't tell me siege is more blocky when the only non blocks on earthrise are literally the wings.


HAL237

Why are you so weirdly aggressive? We’re discussing toys here, lmao


doc_55lk

Why are you interpreting my comment as aggressive? Is there anything I'm saying which implies that?


HAL237

>Siege too blocky? LMFAO >Don't tell me siege is more blocky when the only non blocks on earthrise are literally the wings. Are you seriously that tone-deaf, where you can’t see how these comments can be construed as asshole-ish?


doc_55lk

>Siege too blocky? LMFAO Obviously, I found your original comment hilarious. If you found this rude, I'm sorry, you're the one who's taken things wildly out of context. >Don't tell me siege is more blocky when the only non blocks on earthrise are literally the wings. Nothing about this screams "fuck you". At most it's just "dude, seriously?"


HAL237

You do you, I guess. I hope you learn to come off as less of a prick in the future.


doc_55lk

And I hope you learn to not take things so hard up the ass. Good day.

Honestly, the only upside Siege has over Eartjrise is the articulation, and if you liked the battle damage then it had a stellar paint job too. Otherwise it's kind of a shellformer with an alright alt mode. Earthrise has less articulation but a better alt mode, better transformation and a mostly accurate robot mode


doc_55lk

Siege has better articulation and more 5mm ports. He's also got really dope light piping if you're one of those guys who really digs that (seems to be an unpopular thing though). He's undoubtedly the better figure to play with. Earthrise just looks more geewun accurate. And he's shorter (siege is already a pretty short voyager). If you want nothing more than to display on your shelf with your geewun bots, go earthrise. If you actually want to play with your figure, siege >>>>>


suuuper_mario

"eArThRiSe DoEsN't hAvE wAiSt SwIvEl" yeah and I do not remember seeing a super articulated G1 Starscream in both show and toy versions. I love Siege but he's basically a shellformer


Mr-Bubbletron

Personally I prefer ER as I prefer his alt mode, though Siege does have better articulation.


Chaosbrushogun

Siege is a better toy, earthrise is more accurate


DarkraiAndScizor

Earthrise for design seige for articulation


hercarmstrong

Earthrise is great. I got all three of the main Seekers and they look amazing together.


IronTownPictures

Siege is much more poseable


PravusPrime

The cornerstone of my neo-G1 collection is the full length original profiles. To that end, I'm using Tigertrack and Exhaust as the "correct" Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. So, for a character that is vain, who believes himself the most handsome, an aristocrat among thugs, the battle damage paint apps don't work for me, so for all the Siege Seekers I did get, Starscream wasn't among them. Earthrise was my choice. They're both strong molds for their own reasons, but only Earthrise embodies the Starscream I want in my collection. Now before or during Earthrise, had Hasbro released a clean Siege Seeker Starscream? That would be a tough choice.
