Cool, how did you stack Bruticus's feet like that?

 

Brawl and Swindle's HFGs have 5mm peg-holes on the bottom.

 

Brawl and Swindle's HFGs have 5mm port holes on their bottoms. I'd have never thought about doing that until I saw a pic on Daimchoc's facebook page.

 

Drill tanks in yellow is a staple of the mode: it's a homage to Thunderbirds' Mole one of the earliest examples.

 

In astrology the Star of David also represents 'the convergence of heaven and earth'. The Star of David in that interpretation shows up a lot in anime.

 

Two of the HFGs from that wave have 5mm ports on the underside. Not really sure if they have a 'real' purpose.

 

Brawl and Rook/Swindle variants all have those pegholes for alt mode storage.

 

 

Thanks guys. I'm going to try this as soon as I find out what I did with the HFG's once PC-09 came in the mail. I also "liked" Daimchoc's facebook page. There's a lot of cool stuff there.

 

Do we have an idea of when this comes out?

 

Not soon enough.  

 

I've heard between May and August. It doesn't help that we don't really know when Titans Return Wave 1 is out, and if we're supposed to expect this Combiner Wars Box to be out before or after that first wave.

 

I keep hearing May, but I thought Victorion was the scheduled box set after G2 Menasor.

 

They seem to be every other month, so may would be right. Then G2 Bruticus in July and Computron in Sept.

 

For Brawl, at least, it's so you can position his HFG like his G1 weapon:

 

Ha, I never knew what that flip up thing on his turret was for either. That explains both.

 

Thanks for the HFG pointers for Bruticus. I don't have him yet, so I had no idea it was possible. Might be interesting to see how a 3rd party foot looks like on UW Bruticus while keeping the color coded HFG.

 

I think that was the schedule we saw a couple months ago. It would not surprise me at all, though, if the order had been changed since it leaked. I think someone at Hasbro has to have considered releasing Victorion during or right before SDCC (they get released on the 15th, it appears, and SDCC is the following week in July). She's easily the most appropriate release to hype at SDCC (fan built, first female combiner, the rumored convention set with Windblade, last year's set being the Combiner Hunters). G2 Bruticus and Computron are less interesting in a broad commercial sense.

 

For what it's worth, i had my G2 Menasor in hand by beginning-mid February. I didn't get it out of china, i actually go it from sone toy store (I forget what the online store was). Hopefully that carries over for bruticus, Victorion, and Computron

 

I meant the official street date that BBTS, et al observe. But yeah, I'm sure we'll see Computron in-hand in June

 

Why is it that most of the official offerings of late are only a couple of steps away from Happy Meal transformers?
