I often like to use Cog as a double-barreled rifle for Fortress Maximus - start in robot mode, turn the head around, remove his arms and plug his black guns into his chest, then plug his arms/blasters into the ports on the bottom of the feet [pointing forward with the silver details on the outside]. Finally, flip [out] the tab in the back of the waist and plug in to the port on FortMax’s wrist. It does look ridiculous if the guns/legs aren’t perfectly parallel, and there’s nothing to lock them in place, so there is that.
Never having the original Fort Max, or the new one this was a great learning video for me. It's nice that Hasbro released this figure to upgrade the new Fort Max. He looks really great. Thanks for the awesome review brother! I hope you have an amazing weekend!!
Thanks Scott! I do wish all of these components still came in the same box like in the old days, but at least they're making them widely available so people don't have to pay a lot more for small 3rd party runs to complete their sets. Hope you and Christi are having an awesome weekend! Nerdmasté! 🙏
Fun fact about siege box art: You can shine a blacklight on the angled side for an extremely 80's picture, and a hidden code to plug into the Hasbro website
Nice review! My favourite thing about all the TFs coming out these days is that you can tell they are being done by people that we’re fans of the originals. Plenty of throw backs, homage, and tributes while retaining something that feels new.
Thanks! Yes, absolutely. Even the additions look like they should have been there all along, like red on Cog's legs go perfectly with Fort Max's big double leg canons.
I originally passed on Fort Max after watching people's reviews. But after buying Cog and Trypticon. I kicked myself in the butt and bought him. Now looking for upgrades is a challenge to do. I find it hard to put Cog down, he's fun to mess with...just like MP Bumblebee...at least for me they are.
I've had the opportunity to mess with three Siege Cogs (one is mine, two others are friends) and all of them including mine hold the gun very losely in the right arm...so there is definitely some kind of mold tolerance issue going on. Ehh...still holds it so whatever. In any case, if you still haven't picked up any other Siege figures...you should. The line is excellent especially if you are a G1 fan. It's like the G1 of today. I am obviously addicted and currently have all of the Siege figures released to date with the exception of Sixgun which is super hard to find in my area. That one is currently on preorder from BBTS. Hope to see more Siege reviews from you in the future! It's a pretty exciting time in particular for the line with a 2FT Omega coming!
What an era we live in. Even Cog gets an decent upgrade. (With a sprinkle of terrible fate of being stripped to parts for bigger bots, that is.) I'm not gonna be surprised if Hasbro suddenly decides to do a deluxe Scrounge or some random dudes...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS IN DEPTH LOOK AT COG MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D I have enjoyed Cog thoroughly and the fact that he still transforms into both Gasket and Grummet is an added bonus. I am unsure about getting Sixgun, since I do not have Metroplex. :S Brunt is a must have, since I own Trypticon. I also started a discussion on TFW2005, about the idea of Cog being repainted/retooled into Rack N' Ruin. Once again thank you for this outstanding review, keep up the amazing work you do, Double Thumb's Up. ;D
This line has been a BLAST. So far I got Cog, Magnus, Hound, Prime and Megatron, along with a few of the battle masters. Truly one of my favorite TF lines.
I treat the Siege toyline as a way to complete my G1 'character' collection if I'm unable to get the 1983-84 toys. Never had Hound, but the Siege version allows me to have my G1 Optimus stand next a Hound with good posebility and not hav 30 years of brittle old plastic breaking on me
His guns are meant for TR Cerebros, thats why the handle posts on the guns aren't completely round and fit a bit loose on most bots, Cerebros hands have a weird grip.
I love my cog figure. The only problem with my copy is that his guns don't tightly peg in well except under his hands. I think the gun pegs didn't fill in enough into the mold when they were made. Hense why they're so loose going into the adverage 5mm ports. Thanks for another great review of an amazing figure. I like to turn mine into a winged jetpack for my WFC Siege Ultra Magnus.Giving the old soldier a little extra oomf. LOL
The guns, and the legs on my COG are a bit loose. Not really something that bothers me, nor something that had any real problems. I love the weaponizer gimmick, and I use it when I have Siege Ultra Magnus out of his armor. Awesome to see that you got Cog for your Fort Max.
If you want to get really, really technical: Cog is a remote control Drone and component part of Fortress Maximus, and presumably lacks true free will or a Spark. If he had to be placed in any kind of classification, it would be alongside Roller, one of Optimus Prime's Drones.

Wow look at how far action figures have come.
I bought Skytread. He is pretty cool.

Whatta lovely Autobot...🤘🏼💯✔️
Fort max: cog where have you been. Cog: I don’t know but is good to be back.

Thanks! Going to be getting Sixgun to go with my Metroplex.
The release date for Transfomers war for Cybertron Siege Jetfire is July 1 of 2019 and the price is 79.00
Cant wait to see what that looks like
Michael sheehan jr considering how big he is and all the stuff I’ve has that’s not bad of a price
U must get siege Ultra magnus in hands he is soooo good
thousand wolves he really IS.
I can't find him, but I do have optimus.
I've been starting to collect the new War for Cybertron Siege figures, so it's great to get your opinion of them, being such a huge fan of G1!
What an era we live in.
Even Cog gets an decent upgrade. (With a sprinkle of terrible fate of being stripped to parts for bigger bots, that is.)

I just picked this guy up along with a few other wave 1 siege figures. So far i love this line! Great review as always Mr. Mercy👍👍
Thanks Tommy! Looking forward to adding Sixgun Metroplex now. :D
I have this beutiful boy and I love him. My favorite figure besides the recemtly announced springer!
The gun thing that u used on cerebros also looks like a shield

I was going to post the same thing. It's really a nice bit of attention to detail from Hasbro to try to improve on a previous release.
So...it is a Hasbro ploy to get my money...
I really enjoy your reviews. You make it so fun.
8:18 Take That Jean Claude Van Damme,
siege has been fantastic so far. highly recommend any the others if you can!

Cog is a descendant of Nexus Prime and the little brother of Fortress Maximus 😂
8:26 Jean Claude Von SEIGE COG!!!
The guns, and the legs on my COG are a bit loose. Not really something that bothers me, nor something that had any real problems. I love the weaponizer gimmick, and I use it when I have Siege Ultra Magnus out of his armor. Awesome to see that you got Cog for your Fort Max.
Thanks Chiron. If it gets worse you could tighten the joints up a bit by just using a thin coat of clear nail polish.
@@MichaelMercy Gotcha, thanks for that info my dude.
You must get the siege Optimus prime, trust me its great
this guy was the big hero in earthrise.
Ankle pivots?! Mind blown!
Weaponizers are pretty much Transformers mashed with Bionicles. They follow the same rules. I NEED AT LEAST 2 OF EACH.
I totally regret not getting the new Fort Max !
Godzilla vs cog and ironwork vs kong
WAIT! sideswipe's body is also used on seige red alert so cog can be used for him too!
centurions are 3mm where as tfs are (mostly) 5mm
Awsome video
In away cog is a duobot (duocon)
Cool video as always Micheal
Thanks Daniel! Nerdmasté! 🙏
please review more SIEGE figures
Cog on Cog action
Cog vs tex
Love your videos
Thank you! Nerdmasté! 🙏
who in primus' spark is gasket & grommet?
I just got this figure
Has anyone bought multiple Cogs to weaponize and armor up Cog?
Awesome idea. Empower yourself! :D
*secretly has 20 cogs powering 40 other cogs with a few cogs without cogs to power them just creating a clone army of cogs to kill them all*
which blaster and cannons are those i need them
I bought Cog just for Maximus and loved him but unfortunately he burnt along with ny others in a house fire
Just curious. Do you plan on getting more of these?
Might be getting Sixgun for my Metroplex. All of them look fantastic but my budget doesn't allow for as much collecting of new items anymore.
Grew up with the transformers
I love you videos keep it up!!!
Thanks Campbell! Nerdmasté! 🙏
So correct me if I'm wrong but technically is Cog a triple changer combiner?
More like a Duobot (Autobot version of Duocon)
More of a duocon than a true triple changer.
If you want to get really, really technical: Cog is a remote control Drone and component part of Fortress Maximus, and presumably lacks true free will or a Spark. If he had to be placed in any kind of classification, it would be alongside Roller, one of Optimus Prime's Drones.
Couldnt c technically be a duo con?
Be weary of super tight hips. Mine's booty broke off when i was trying to move his leg one day.
