    Valid point

    From messing around with nose cone I am going to be honest. He really needs a bicep swivel. I agree with you on the tread transformation it would've been a lot smoother than it is now.

    Hmm. I really had hope for this group after the early test shots, and actually owning Turbo Ejector, and since I liked their Bruticus well enough. Nothing since that point has really tickled my fancy, though.

    Strafe and Scattershot are my two favorite chars of the team (granted, the Technobots - in general - are not top shelf characters for me, but there is some childhood fondness for them).

    Strafe seems ok, but man, Scattershot really is unappealing. The color pallette is so dull, and the overall vibe just is doesn't click any nostalgic buttons for me.

    Eh, I have a feeling this will be the first 3P combiner that I start and don't finish. Turbo Ejector had such rave reviews that I took the plunge, despite reprehension about the entirety of the project. Eh, TA is a good figure by himself.

    I don't think he comes with 2 heads. The maroon photo is pretty old and it doesn't have any of the completed chest paint apps etc. Most likely it was a prototype pic.

    What is Scattershot's brown shield going to in combined mode? Is that a new piece we didn't know yet. Is it sth like a chest plate?! Would be nice if that would be true...

    I'm going to be painting my Not-Scattershot's face light blue. I really think it looks better with a light blue face.

    As I asked a month ago in the WB03 thread:

    Now that I see a picture of not-Scattershot holding the shield vertically, the holes for the clear orange pieces to fit in for the flight stand mode look perfectly placed to match up with the holes in the shoulders and lower torso to hold the structure rigid in combined mode.

    If it doesn't work that way, it's a ridiculous example of a missed opportunity.

    Honestly, this looks much better in the latest batch of shots. He still isn't as well designed as Bruticus but I'm looking forward to having an MP Warbo figure.

    Damn you warbotron! Had this released on time I would been able to enjoy this set! Oh well, guess next year I may repurchase this combiner if they sell a set or if someone let's him go at a reasonably cheaper price. Since GT and warbotron are unrelated though I wonder if this means that they may still be doing wb02 menasor? I wish they would...no good menasors out at the moment and fp's is just too dang small...if warbo doesn't make a menasor I guess there is always transformission's offering coming out. But those diecast combiner pegs are revolutionary, looks like this Computron is gonna be REAL solid
