    So you could make a "Scramble City" with only some of these, meaning these are the same Combiner Wars models?

    As one commented, I do like Blast Off and Vortex.

    These are the same molds as the Hasbro Combiner Wars figures, except for Blast Off. But he's still CW compatible or else he wouldn't be sold in the set.

    And you could have just asked this question in the news thread...

    Mods, feel free to move the thread then.

    Does Takara have any other molds or color schemes for Stunticons?

    Thanks.

    Yeah, all the Takara figures have different decoes, but the Stunticons are all the same. (technically they have less unique moulds as Dead End is used twice)

    Shoot, I'm looking for a Decep van for Combiner Wars. I presume the shape/mold would be that of First Aid:[​IMG]

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but First Aid is the only figure to use the van mold.

    I wish there'd be a Decep van. If we have Offroad as a Stunticon truck, why not a van? They do exist:[​IMG]

    I'm hoping this Takara Blast Off will inspire new Decep models. I also think an evil version of that moon rover will do as well:[​IMG]

    As Split Lip says it's so far the only retail use but it's also been used for Botcon custom class Ratchet/Medix.

    Were G2 Stunticons ever released?
    They sure seem harder to find.

    Ahh, so they weren't sold separately then. There's the confusion.

    Nevermore, so you sell Transformers?

    Back to a "Bruticus is Bruticus" no matter what Combiner mode (G1, G2, or Takara,) was I screwed? I seem to be missing pieces if compared to G1:

    Brawl does not have twin sonic cannons that go on the back of the tank.

    Swindle did not come with an arm-length rifle that went on his right arm in the G1 cartoon.

    Onslaught doesn't have a hand held gun for his individual robot mode. The two missile cannon guns hang on his back for his looks.

    Blast-Off doesn't come with vehicle mode weapons that attach on his wings like G1.

    I realize Brawl's turret doesn't rotate, but I'm not sure if that means the sonic cannons were to come with him or not.

    Vortex seems fine considering his vehicle weapons, the missiles, are build as fist gauntlets.
