    What might have been (3P add ons aside), if not for brand unification.

    THIS is what I'd like to see!
    There's still a chance we'll eventually get this as a TT mall exclusive.

    Hmm, so I guess I should call him a redesign or an engineering copy or ripoff, then.

    Now maybe Primal will also pop up early. :D

    You know, it wouldn't be that hard for PE (or someone else) to make purple shield pieces that clip onto Hun-Gurr's forelegs and give a full purple torso. Purple head, gun, two small shield pieces - sure sounds like a PE set to me :)

    Id buy that.
    Yeah its so annoying Hasbro didnt at least make the combined torso have the purple chest shield. Thats the kind of annoying little details they always sacrifice for the budget.
    Thats why I love 3rd party options.

    Can someone post a few pics of Elita Inf1nite in reverse combined mode with the head and thighs turned 180?

    I'm tempted to buy 2 Elitas and turn one into an Action Master by having a customizer remove plane bits from her back and all the combiner junk and then making new forearms and shins/feet.

    Hopefully my Walmart is getting Elita/Hun-Grrr soon. They just finally got the new legends yesterday. Slowly but surely..

    the entire jet is attached at a single point, so that part shouldn't be very hard.

    Got Hun-Grrrr today, and for all the hubbub, he's not bad.

    Great?
    No, not by a long shot; the forelegs in dragon mode are ... not inspiring. They get the job done, but they're nothing to write home about, I'll agree. And the robot mode seems oddly spindly in the thigh area, but that could just be my own odd perspective.

    But I do like the torso mode, and the integration of the "Terrorcon Enigma." (Evidently, Nexus Prime was turning these things out by the truckload during Cybertron's primitivist period. :p )

    Rippersnapper is en route, and I'm eagerly awaiting Wave 3 and the rest of the gang. :D

    I have acclimated myself to the hasbro version. Yes still purturbed by the stickers. But its a good combiner torso with a working matrix chamber....Credit is due here.

    Looking at Elita in hand, were her combiner feet molded in pink and later painted black?

    Sure looks like it. You can see the pink plastic in the peghole next to the ankle where it was held while they sprayed/dipped it.

    If Perfect Effect is paying attention, their Elita upgrade feet and hands have to be pink.

    Seems POTP Abominus' head is molded in pink/purple plastic and painted over.

    Stripping the paint and painting the face gives you this.

    Aw man, that is frickin' beautiful!

    Not that the original toy colours are bad, but that just looks so much better IMO.

    Yeah I noticed that when I got mine. Which makes it all the more a shame that there isn't an announcement about cartoon based version.
