TakaraTomy Siege Releases For April 2018 - Siege Ravage & Laserbeak, Aimless, Sixgun, Ironhide, Starscream, Plus Diaclone

Autobase Aichi has shared images of TakaraTomy's April 2019 Siege releases! Scheduled for April 27, 2019 are SG-15 Battlemaster Aimless, SG-16 Soundwave Spy Patrol, SG-17 Ironhide, SG-18 Sixgun, and SG-19 Starscream! Also due for release that month are two more Diaclone Reboot figures: DA-32 Maneuver Jacket and DA-33 Big Powered GV(Destroyer).

The gray used in test shots of action figures during development frequently does interesting things to toys. Ironhide, whose surface detail level struck us as a little bit high in his color debuts over the summer, looks pretty good in grayscale. On the other hand there's Starscream. Following in the footsteps of Japanese mecha illustrators of the `80s like Studio OX, Starscream sports a lot of surface detail that, in the context of such illustrations, would convey size and scale. On a Voyager class figure, though...? It's a little busy, in our opinion.

Meanwhile, basically everything about Sixgun looks great, though we do get a twinge of sadness realizing those armguns would look comically tiny on Titan-class Metroplex's shoulders. Aww.
