    That was one of my ideas as well. The combined form would be Command Ravage; the original Ravage in control of a powerful gestalt.

    Oooh mine was:
    - Sky Lynx as GPG
    - Brawl as Brunt
    - Drag Strip as Full-Tilt

    Combined form would be Trypticon. You could come up with a new name, but that's the baseline.

    That's an idea. Though it would require some more extensive retooling to make it more show Accurate. Though, He would also require an team. I guess we got Dirge and Ramjet covered as part of his limbs. And i guess Frenzy and Rumble could also form limbs, though... in order to do that, they need to make CW Compatible Energon Kickback/Blight molds.

    I don't disagree that the CW figures tended to have more colors. I owned both sets of figures and they were usually pretty equivalent. I did find that hte UW figures tended to have more paint overall, but in more subtle or less noticeable ways.

    This is the reason the fan was pretty split down the middle on which they preferred. :)

    Hasbro Pulse had Blackarachnia's name as Black Widow first. Then later did a find and replace, which reads weird as it now says she transforms from robot to Blackarachnia.

    Some is not per say a QC issue. My UW Lightspeed has a bit of a "looseness" on its combiner peg. Which I think is purely a mold deg issue. But I didn't take him apart to see if it is a position issue. Could be! UW usually has pristine condition good tightness and quality paint app. Rarely would I come across something that is off.

    All of my unite warriors releases are pretty good, including light speed (slightly loose combiner peg but not bad), but the worst was motor master and his gps like problems

    UW Blastoff is the only one that gives me issues. I have been tempted to glie his tail together to use it as a way to keep the leg bits together when combined. But alas, I am too scared to permanently alter my toy.

    Odd I got the CW release of that figure and actually do not have that issue. Brawl is more of a mess in that regard, as well as the swoop mold. Cannot for the life of it keep the legs together. Luckily I never combine him.
    And I am glad that Cutthroat does not use the same leg mold but has his own, with a tail bit attached which gives a secure connection.
    In order of bad, Swoop > Brawl. I lucked out with the rest which are for me solid figures.
    That said I am looking forward so much to the Seacons. It will finally give us the final true scramble city combiner!

    If they do a repaint in the ivory white+gold I hope they kind of remold some bits to make Scylla a bit more feminine. I do like fembots!

    None of my other mold mates of Lightspeed have any issues with the combiner ratchet. Actually, non of my other limbs have an issue with the Combiner port.

    It is kinda loose, with too much give between ratchet clicks. That is the main issue. But might be that something inside is loose or that it is wrong assembled which is not a hard fix I guess? But never needed to be bothered since I don't move Computron around all that much anyways. So apart from that everything is perfect.

    The spring doesn't have enough tension to hold the ratchet. That's why there is a slight rocking motion. I took the whole damn thing apart, stretched the spring and applied Pledge Future.

    That's a theory among us. But do they really?
    If they re-used the Silverbolt mold for Leozack instead of the Sky Lynx one for Deszaras it would have been cost-cutting just the same.

    How difficult is it to do a minor retool and repaint of Silverbolt into Leozack??!

    I don't know. I'm not a designer :lol 
    It'd have been more expensive than giving Sky Lynx a new deco obviously.
