    Replacement Combiner head, Shockwave gun stock and Onslaught's back cannons.

    Hands and feet sold separately. ;)

    Looks good but unless the guns retract to be smaller on Onslaught's back it's kind of hit and miss.

    Not so sure I like this set so much. Maybe it'll grow on me. Would have preferred simpler and cleaner cannons. And it should come with a G1-style sonic stun-gun. I really want that. PE did the acid-pellet gun for Computron, after all ...

    [add] The acid-pellet gun is just a Bruticus back cannon painted red. Bah.

    Could've done more. I'll still buy, but this? Opportunities missed.

    What I'd have liked:

    1. G1 sonic stun-gun.
    2. Collapsible back cannons so they look right on both Onslaught and Bruticus.
    3. Adaptor for Shockwave so he can be wielded like a pistol (instead of the current rifle/two-handed adaptor).

    Will adopt a wait-and-see approach and examine all options as they become available.

    It would be great if they would include a Blast Off head.

    Yeah, I agree with that. It's so close, but still not quite as perfect (no pun intended) as it could be.

    Not feeling the head either - I prefer the stock one.

    I loved the kits for superion and menasor last year, and the computron kit looks like it is worth a buy, but to me this kit feels a little unnecessary.

    I'm completely fine with the stock head and I don't think shockwave needed a stock. A new Blast-off head would have been really appreciated I expect.

    Yeah, that upgrade would be called Unite Warriors Bruticus. And you get a free space shuttle body in the mix :D

    Or, you can buy the CGI Bruticus set #1, even though Bruticus' back cannons are less than stellar, IMO.

    At this point I'm prepared to by GCI's thing just for the Blast Off Head, since every last experience I've had buying parts from Shapeways that require paint have ended disastrously.

    GCI's cannons are just inexecusable though. They're not guns, cannons or any decent sort of firearm, they're literally just giant tubes with a tiny tube shoved into them to make a handle. That's a child's idea of how to make a gun and along with the oversized cannons they look awful.

    As far as backcannons go, Forged in 86's planned cannons look to be the best offering still.

    So that's PC-10 for the new head Shockwave stock and one version of the backcannons, GCI's set for the Blast Off head and Forged in 86's versions of the backcannons

    At this point still cheaper than UW.

    I'm guessing this is going to be another full priced set, and like Superion, offers way too little for that pricetag.

    I have the set for Menasor and it is awesome. I'll be picking this one up also.

    I like the back cannons but I wish for a gun for Bruticus to hold besides shockwave. I might still buy though
