    I managed to get lucky and grab a CW Sky Lynx recently, man what a disappointment, way too small and just a floppy mess. WTF is up with his back feet? :|

    One of my fav characters deserved more. :(  I'd rather just display my G1 one.

    Is he worth keeping for a funny combiner or something? I'm guessing he probably can't even stand up right in that mode either judging by the quality of the other bits.

    You'll need to do some modifications to his combiner hips if you want Sky Reign to stand. After that he's a good looking combiner, but his shoulders don't lock in, witch makes it hard to pose him, but that the same time gives him a bit more range of motion.

    This popped into my head the other day and I chuckle every time I look at Devy now.

    Neato! Can the figure still form a Combiner torso when fitted with a Beelzeboss kit?

    The UW version can totally do this and I'm sure there's a GIF of it somewhere but I ain't going to lie, it's fucking awesome. Few toys can fold shades out of their skulls, but Devastator can.

    Yes, but as i said i ditched Beelz's chest and torso plates because they have nowhere to go in combiner mode except dangle on top of the shoulders.
    It also should be said that the base figure is not the official Grande Scourge because id be insane to spend $350 on a gaudy painted Optimus. Instead i bought a BC Prime and Motormaster for 20 each and Frankenstein'd them together. Motor's bod with Prime's shoulders and chest painted.

    Oh, hang on! Even though I don't have the UW version I can actually GIF it up!

    I like the individual Stunticons and protectobots more, but I love the decos on the Combaticons. They manage to all match or compliment each other without really sharing colors IMG_20180628_082928.jpg

    I really liked the idea of combiners with legends targetmaster. I am looking for one for abominus and cindersaur doesnt cut it I think.

    Anyway, can someone post abominus holding bombshell in his fanmode gunmode?

    Powerglide/ Viper and Shockwave were awesome ideas that CW had. I wish they had done more targetmaster-legends too.... Blackjack/ Hot Rod were meh, and Groove was just... weird.

    I agree. They could have done better. I know groove was weird but at least he tried to transform, Blackjack/Hotrod just got stuck in place lol

    Looks decent enough, IMHO, that I might even keep him that way! :) 

    Seriously, what do folks think of this? Should Bombshell be a permenent part of Abominus? Does he get to keep the Bug-Gun? :D

    Been combining/separating these guys the past two days now. It seems Scrounge has finally left the team to be with Blaster :lol

    Aside from Scattershot, Lightspeed is easily my next favorite of the team. I've never had any issue with the Breakdown mold (aside from that CW 15 RACING tampo), so I enjoy this figure quite a bit.

    Hoping that TDW hurries up; annoying, knowing it'll be months before I have a completed TDW+PE equipped Abominus I can take pics of :lol

    They never wanted him before... Now Alpha Bravo really doesn't care about their calls for help.

    Dangit, Jetbolt, as much as I love your pics, those hurt me to look at them. :(

    Can't we all just get along? ;) 

    As a side note, my Abominus has become quite the butt monkey. He and Menasor should compare notes. :D
