    I'd wait for Inferno for him simply because he's red and therefore more "fire truck-y".

    From combiner wars to titans return, we got leaders of the seekers, megs and soundwave... One could hope a leader shockwave appeared in potp just to round out the main 6.

    I don't have them myself but what about the oversize hot spot by wei jiang. I've heard they are a bit sturdier than the hasbro release and they can usually be found cheap on aliexpress and other such aites.

    So Silverbolt is enroute and now I have too many Torsos for my Limbs!
    Cyclonus
    Sky Lynx
    Hot Spot
    Onslaught and Silverbolt on the way

    But only
    Blast off
    Vrotex
    Swindel
    Brawl
    Prowl
    Iron hide
    Sunstreaker
    Mirage
    Trailbreaker for Limbs!

    I NEED a good source of cheap limbs! As it is I can build two combiners at a time and when we play Cyclonus has to buist of the Autobot or Bruticus to form. I am thinking of finding the cheapest available Decepticon and designating it at army builder.

    Yesterday I was on a site called Sirtoys that had CW knock offs for like 10 bucks shipped. Are they compatible with the original CW stuff? They have what looks like a good offroad copy.

    In a few months you can get some POTP deluxe toys that'll do the trick. I think Dreadwind and Darkwing would make to good Deceptitroopers.

    Then i think you need buyer remorse, sales ,a local toystore that still thinks CW is new or those sites that keep selling them in cases.

    Or what Smitty says

    $30 shipped isn't the worst. By the time Inferno comes around at retail you may be looking at that as MSRP a year from now.

    Alternatively: Here's a Wave 3 case for $40 plus $4 flat-rate shipping if you're in the US. That's $22 per figure if you don't mind having a Cyclonus.

    I would recommend Cyclonus. Silverbolt is a good mold and Cyclonus wears it well.

    I think Onslaught is the best version of the Hot Spot mold, but Bumblebee doesn't agree...
