    These pictures actually made me like her more because I just now noticed that she has independent index fingers.

    Is the red and green supposed to simulate "rust"? Or was the color scheme voted on?

    It definitely looks less garish in the official pics, which big surprise.

    Either way, the sword, hands, feet, and heads are dope. I probably won't pick it up, but it would suck to miss out on the first appearance if the character sticks around.

    They look pretty good, but I really wish we could have seen photos of the toys combined with the helicopters as arms and the cars as legs. Judging by the artwork we've seen, and just the fact that this configuration they're showing off appears to have skinny legs and big arms, I think it'd look much better the other way around.

    I'm not so sure about the colours, though. I like the idea of red and green, but the red is so glaring.

    You and me both. It's gorgeous. BUT there'd probably be a million people calling it sexist if it was pink and purple. Bleh. Hasbro, make me a pink a purple combiner. I don't care if it's male or female. That colour scheme just looks great on that combiner.

    Ahem, wrong images for Stormclash.

    UPDATE: oops. I didn't know that Skyburst and Stormclash had the same vehicle forms.

    is this a US only or Will Takara do a relese on this?

    Overall I actually like it, the combined form is gourges, The colors kinda reminds me of what Piranacon did bring in the 80s.
    The head in combined form is perfect imo 10/10.-

    Takara give us Windblade Windblade, so Takara would probably release a comic accurate version..

    Alright, guys. I'm just gonna lay it out.
    THIS SET IS HORRIBLE!
    1. The colors are gaudy.
    2. The paintwork is heavy.
    3. All of these molds have already been released.
    4. Two of the limbs use the same mold, for cryin' out loud!
    In conclusion, G2 Superion is an awful toy.

    Wait, this isn't the G2 Superion thread? :confused: 

    It's the G2 Menasor thread isn't it? :eek:  My bad.


    :D

    People need to remember that Blade's personality is "He's fucking insane". Him lacking missiles is less accurate to the character.

    Yeah they do. Eye-killing, uniform paintjob, lazy retools, and for some reason they get special treatment with new hands, feet, and weapons while the others need addons to be posed decently that will (in total) cost almost another 100 bucks.

    Apparently, Hasbro collaborated with Takara on Victorian and the CW G2 Combiners. I hope that means we'll be getting Takara versions of them.

    That...doesn't look very good, and if I hadn't known about the poll ahead of time I would have never guessed that they're supposed to be women but for one or two. They look more like men in drag, which is still quite progressive I suppose. Maybe i've been watching too many Japanese mecha shows, but nothing bout the bots themselves apart from the lipstick on a few strikes me as being very feminine. Their faces seem very gender-neutral for the most part.

    I'm just disappointed that they introduced great new hand and foot parts, only to have the feet be robo-high heels. Sigh. Nonnef it is.

    I really don't have any urge at all to pick this set up at this point.

    Even with the official pics I still can't take those colors. One of the few things out of Combiners Wars that I just have no desire for.

    Maybe we can get a repaint at some point since Hasbro likes repaints.

    After this though I don't think fans should get to ever vote for anything again. Could have had another Decepticon team but nope we had to have more Autobots and in some of the worst colors to be found. Ouch and two of the same helicopter mold when it's already been used so much.

    Since they were supposed to be from the Sea of Rust I was thinking they would be colored more like the Destructicons minus Mudslinger.

    I'm not sure who thinks we vote for this stuff, They always talk about how long it takes to design and deco toys then all the sudden it's popped out right after those polls close.

    Like the sword, Wish the other figures had that sort of build-a-weapon.

    Not particularly found of the colors.

    Yes.

    This... This is how I would have loved to see them colored. Like the four drones of Mudslinger.
