    Thats the first combiner we all had I reckon. I am in the process of repairing a junker onslaught and combining it with a bunch of random city scrambles. The thing is I dont want it to have Bruticus face mask and I wonder if someother combiners matches? Have to check this out I suppose.

    Maybe Piranacon or Abominus's heads? I haven't picked up Onslaught yet so I'm not sure if they have the same head size.

    They don't look as good under closed examination.

    Trying to have a closer at the figure without openning the box!

    Exactly. My Slingshot was missing an arm for many years, and we used to pretend he lost it in battle :D

    Hey could someone please explain to me exactly why Horri-bull’s neck joint breaks so often? Is there a problem with tolerances, or is it akin to GPS?

    Hmm looks like the solution is the same I used on my Caliburst: use a file or sandpaper to sand down the stressed piece. Worked on Caliburst but now he’s a tad loose.

    Do we post things about 86 Go bots here as well or not? Well its more of a question really rather than a post.
