    As my main collection for combiners are around 30-32cm, I really don't like UW-04 tower over other combiners in my collection. As a result I keep TFC Herc. UW-04 would be better if he is the same size as other CW combiners.

    So you want a toy from the cartoon not cartoonish?

    I remember the time when everyone was saying OH THE THIRD PARTIES THEY MAKE NO MONEY AND ARE JUST MAKING THE PRODUCTS FOR THE FANS!

    if thats the case, why do third party companies pay reviewers to give a positive review to buy their products? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY 3rd Party companies out there anyway? Hilarious.

    The chest looks far better than the official one.

    Prowl is quickly becoming one of my favorite figures from the this line.

    It helps that the Streetwise mold has the Terminator shotgun.

    Streetwise also comes with a hella cool gunmetal coloured one too that I've given to Prowl more than a few times.

    Engineering got more complex. It's a trade off.

    Regarding CW/UW Devastator hieght, I find it funny some people want a 6 team combiner to be same size as a 5 team combiner. While TFC Herc is same size as the other CW combiners, its style is off. It's like it belongs in Transformers Armada or the Unicron Trilogy series toys. Not gewun enough!

    It could have been as the Constructicons were the only "team" without a "voyager sized" member. Would i have prefered to be scaled with the others? Yes. Is it annoying that it doesnt fit on a shelf? Yes. Do I enjoy the hell out of it anyway? Yes.

    At the end of the day its not a big deal for me

    It works when all of them are closer in size as opposed to other teams being 4 smaller guys and one significantly larger guy. Also Devastator was always the same size as the other combiners in the cartoons, toys and comics before now. That's why people want him to be the same size.

    I agree about Hercules though, I was never really a fan of it.

    The online store I bought my Combaticons at said they already have Onslaught for me, but the Deluxes are still pending.

    Thanks! You should visit my Flickr page sometime, I've got plenty more!

    Too bad, he's by far the best version of that mold. Odd hips and all.
