So is Cybaxx the name of Scrounge's Targetmaster?

 

Seeing the hasbro techno bots makes me hate the set less and less. The paint on them looks excellent. I thought I would hate scattershot paint but he looks so nice. Gonna have to rethink my decision on g2 superion

 

I actually have Grand Galvatron's components displayed separately. Unintentionally it ended up like this :

Cyclonus standing with Energon Galvatron and Classics Scourge
Thrust standing with Armada Unicron
Starscream standing with CW Bruticus and Shockwave
Roller standing with WfC Optimus Prime and company in my WfC faction charge diorama

Breakdown is by himself (I don't own a Prime Knock Out to go with Breakdown).

 

Yes, I'm with you. I think the Hasbro one will be the one I keep combined with the perfect effect add-ons, and the takara version will be the one I have for individual bots.

Can't tell you how excited I am we have two options with this set. I was super bummed a year ago when 'betatron' was announced but no limbs. I think we all kinda knew takara would probably come through, but it's been great to see Hasbro listen to the demand and offer something as well.

 

Yes.

 

Awesome. How does UW Brawl's torso hold up? Does it lock in securely?

 

Hasbro's technobots look terrible to me but at least they finally got the fists and feet right. now I wish someone would knock them off and make them in different colors for the rest of the combiners.

 

after 30yrs of improvements in toy engineering, a lot of owners still like to pose em g1 stiff bot style

*shrug*

 

It's the most stable pose possible that takes up the least space.

 

Are there any remoulds of CW Mirage, Brawl, and Firefly? Not including repaints, different head or weapon only.

 

The only one I can think of would be botcon ramhorn as he has a new head and weapon

 

Brawl got remolded into Botcon Ramhorn. He's slightly remolded in the upcoming Hasbro Computron, and he'll assumedly be remolded in the Liokaiser box set, but we don't know much about that yet.

Mirage himself was a remold of Drag Strip, other than that, I think that's it.

Firefly was given a new head for Quickslinger, and the Quickslinger headed mold was repainted into Hasbro's Blast Off.

 

And I'm glad they do. When I look at pics it's generally to get ideas for minor customization or to gauge my own interest in the toy. I want to see them in a basic stance, regardless of what they are capable of.

 

  I was not ready for that. Thank you, I needed that!

 

Do you recommend purchasing a second Unite Warriors Bruticus? The thing is, I bought one from Anime Export and I paid a heavy load for fast shipping. However, I was told post service might go on strike. So I literally paid a lot to sit in a warehouse for weeks. So at some point, I I thought about getting a second Bruticus just to keep in box and play with other one. And I know of a store that has them. And they charge the same as how I paid online for item and shipping. Think I should?

 

I say go for it. YOLO. Having one just to play with sounds like alot of fun. If I had the disposable income, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

My UW Bruticus should be here Friday, along with what will presumably be Windsweeper.

UW Computron is already paid for. That will leave Liokaiser (one or the other depending on what TT does) and the TT version of Victorion, who I hope is drastically different from the Hasbro one. From there, it'll just be waiting for the TFSS figures to trickle in to make Thunder Mayhem and Wreckage. I don't need Lynx Master as I have all of the Hasbro versions of them, including Botcon Ratchet. Unless something else sneaks in, I'll have all of the combiner individual characters, which was my goal with this line.

Hopefully part three will introduce beast combiners...
