Transformers Tuesday will continue for 2026. I'm going to try going back to five figure reviews per week for January, and I would love to have a reason to keep doing it. Can you kick in $1 a month to my Patreon to offset my hosting costs? Give me an excuse to write more! I wrote this one a few years ago, and it's been so long this Walmart exclusive, which had been dumped and more easily found at Ross, has since been reissued in the Age of the Primes line in 2025.
I missed the previous version of this toy over a decade ago, and I also missed Decepticon Crasher when she was sold as a Walmart exclusive - she pre-sold out online quickly and I never saw her on shelf. And of course she got dumped at Ross for about $7.99 in fall of 2023, so I picked her up then twice (once for Seth, hi Seth) and once for me. Despite being dumped on clearance (and fairly affordable on eBay) Hasbro brought her back, and I saw her at Target a few times in the late summer/early fall last year.

This toy applies GoBots Crasher deco to Siege Mirage, and the results are fun. The toy head is painted black and pink, while the body is mostly white with some black molded bits and a lot of glossy black paint. This one is as good as the other releases, with 5mm holes behind the arms to plug in weapons or she can just hold them in her hands. Deco is inspired by the original GoBots toy, with an 01 on her, but the colors are a little different. I assume it's different enough if someone gets angry, not quite matching the cartoon or the toy perfectly - but you get where they're going. It also leaves the door wide open for a GoBots version, if someone wanted to make one, but I assume that ship has long since set sail and nods to those toys is all you're going to get from here on out. Since I could always use more Decepticons, I'm happy to have something like this to add some variety to the shelves.
Transformation is the same as the other Mirage toys, a little fiddly with expanding legs but otherwise pretty sensible. Be careful to not chip the paint, and take note of the kibble and weirdness. It's a fun transformation but I do wish they didn't have the chest hanging off the back of the car. Siege had some weird design choices.
As with most cars, it's a car - it has wheels, and a few places in which to plug 5mm accessories. It's a neat riff on an old competitor, and I'd love to see them sneak in other toys like her. You can see the black paint on the white parts much more with this mode, which probably won't push too many nostalgia buttons for being a wink more than a direct replica.
This was a figure I missed out on and whose secondary market prices made me say "well, I may never get this one but I assume there have to be more out there in the woodworks," and then I got her for a song at Ross. A lot of items come and go so fast these days and it turns out Hasbro was just sitting on them - or can be convinced to reissue them in new packaging. I don't know if I'd recommend her at $28, but otherwise? This is a neat figure and if you missed the 2007 Fracture, a new character for this particular line.
