    I laughed - not due to amusement but just to how SO wrong that is.

    If it makes you feel better I'm repurposed Offroad and Sunstreaker into females in my photo comic.

    You just need to pull the arms off at the shoulder and swap them around, that's the only structure difference.

    I never like his shoulders, I still hate the way they look in any position other that down to the side. Your photos are wonderful, but that last one looks like Pat Lee's "artwork" with the way his shoulders work.

    As a late combiner wars collector, these are the ones i got so far.
    Love the fact that my Scattershots shoulder and arm ratchets are pretty tight.
    Which will be the upper legs in combined mode.
    Ironhide is a filler as limb because he was only 11 pounds.
    I'm pretty much in love with Hasbro's combiners at the moment.
    They are so much fun.
    We can scramble city them it's what makes it even more fun.

    Not sure what you have planned to get, but smartlulup002 on aliexpress has ko defensor and ko bruticus for $38 a piece. I have the ko's and official version with only minor differences between them. Im hoping they get around to ko superion as well.

    No need for Bruticus because i have Unique toys version.
    Was thinking of Defensor but Blades is freaking expensive.
    The rest i can afford.
    Maybe get the KO Defensor like you suggested.
    I want Superion because he, Menasor and Devastator are the coolest combiners imo.
    I think i'll wait for Fanstoys Menasor.
    There are 3 companies making MP Stunticons at the moment.
    After that Fanstoys will be making a MP Superion in 2099.

    There is a KO Superion.
    From Jujian and it's 50 cm tall.
    Bigger then Devastator and Predaking.
    I think you want the normal sized one.

    :confused: 

    You have 3rd party expensive combiners, but are complaining about cw blades being expensive?

    JJ's superion is NOT bigger than devastator and the new potp predaking, btw. Someone posted earlier either here or the new purchase thread showing jj-sup shorter than pred.

    Edit: it was the os cw superion thread...

    Uhm, yeah i complain about the price if it's suppose to be 20 to 25 euros and i have to pay more then double for it.
    Cheapest Blades i found was like 55 euros or something.
    As you suggested i can buy a KO for that money and a sandwich to eat.
    I look at the price for what figure.
    3rd parties are expensive and those are their normal prices.
    Let's say if a 3rd party should cost 100 and somebody wants 110 for it and i can't find any other then i would pay that extra 10.
    If the seller says i'm selling this 100 bucks toy to you for 200, then i give him the finger.
    The other Defensor limbs are for 30 euros. So if i really want it, that extra 5 i would pay for it.
    It's just my reason how business works.
    Never buy overpriced!

    I do thank you for your advice for Defensor KO.
    And what i said, it's not an attack on you or anything.
    I'm just bad with words.
    I'm more of pointing a fact.

    And thank you for letting me know that JJ Superion is not bigger.
    I guess sellers lie about the heights.
    It should always from head to toe and not from toe to the highest mountain shoulder.
    Then my UT Bruticus is 60cm tall, lol.
    He 's only 45 cm.
    Oh yeah, that's also how they advertise the KO Feral Rex.
    Toe to head 45 cm, but toe to the highest wing feather is 60 cm.
    Talk about dishonest business.

    The ko defensor is pretty good if you use it primarily for combined mode, otherwise, hotspot has the reversed knees (easy fix) and streetwise is a bit floppy in bot mode (easy fix)Transformation 5 in 1 ko new desigh Defender figure toys http://s.aliexpress.com/3auEZBv2?fromSns=Copy to Clipboard
    I like that os superion but It wouldn't really fit in my collection. I have the hasbro superion, but for some reason I like having multiples for display purposes so I'll wait for the ko.

    I'm the same dude.
    I have multiple Primes and Bumblebee's.
    Right now i have 3 Megatrons. ( wait, counting the movie version, i have 4 megs )
    I'll be selling one.
    Prime, Bee, Megs and Starscream are the 4 most important bots if you ask me.
    And also the ones i like the most.
    I had 7 Optimus Prime.
    Sold the voyager movie Prime.
    Also had 7 Bee's and also sold one.
    Wut! I only have 2 starscreams? I guess i need to get some more Screamers.
    The others i only have 1 copy.
    Except 2 copies of Devastator.
    But they are very cheap.
    One is KO Hulkie for 50 bucks.
    The other is NBK KO.
    Need Toyworld Devy, best Devy imo.
    Was waiting for Fanstoys Devy, but that guy will come in 2088.
    Getting my second sets of Dinobots.
    I have the FT dibots.
    Now get Hasbro combining dino's.
    Oh wait, i have 3 Grimlocks, lol.
    Had 4, sold the movie one.
    Yeah Grimlock is also cool.
    I love this Prime.
    He can't transform, but look how cute he is.

    That's insane how expensive blades is though, even on ebay.

    Maybe you could want-list it individually on sirtoys for the ko?

    I don't buy from sirtoys or any US store, except i've bought some stuff from BBTS because they were on sale for so cheap that i don't have to pay import tax of it.
    I live in EU.
    Everything is expensive here.

    It's not that big of a deal to me, but I posted about the re-issue of Superion and Devestator before it was a headline here on TFW - would I get a news credit for that?
