    I have successfully got replacement parts a couple of times on Ebay for some Badcube and generation toy products over the years on Ebay by bidding incomplete/broken items. And then I sold whatever left (with accurate description of course) to recoup some money. You can't image quite a few people out there who need replacement part for some figures.

    Just set up email notification with some keywords.

    Don't mean to get anyone's hopes up, but I just wasn't sure where else to ask the following question.
    Did your Streetwise come with combine mode instructions?
    I moved and was FINALLY able to get my TransFormers out. I am hoping to combine them with a WB/TFM/GT torso, and was also wanting to check out how Streetwise and Groove fit into the foot/thighs that is known as First Aid's trailer. But when I couldn't find instructions on combine mode for Streetwise, I put them all in robot mode.

    Anyway, I've Googled it and can't find it. None of the three video reviews I saw cover combine mode. Can't find a picture of him in combined mode online. I've seen people post that we have combine mode instructions for all members so far, but I was doubting it when I read that because I couldn't remember putting Streetwise in combine mode. (I like to put them in all modes once I get them.) And now that I was finally able to get all of my TransFormers out, I can confirm that my instruction sheet doesn't have combine?

    Does yours? Or has GT not released it yet and we'll have to hope and wait for FooFighter (Hotspot)?

    If it does, any chance you can take picture of it and PM me the instructions?

    None of the limb bots included combined mode instructions.

    Thanks for the pic - I hadn't seen that one.
    Yeah, I'm not very good with figuring that kind of stuff out on my own. I'm very algebraic - linear - and struggle with spatial reasoning. Makes me believe that it's the reason why I always need an instruction sheet for 3rd party transformers, no matter how many times I transform them. LOL. Whatever.

    Blades, First Aid, and Groove have combine mode instructions. Streetwise is the only one that doesn't, based on the instruction sheets I have.

    I stand corrected! That's how much I read the actual printed instructions. :p

    I'm really hoping Hot Spot is taking so long because they're doing him individually and with the team in a box set.

    Waited 4 years for this but the projected and then largely absent timeline for the most important bot left me indifferent.

    Generation Toy only has this, Great White Ape and a vague T-Beast Rod/Rodimus projected.
    Come out swingin full T-Beast line.

    Check out Emgos review of Sarge. He transforms into limb mode based off pictures but it seems accurate

    Thank you for that!
    Totally missed it. It might be why Sarge doesn’t come with limb mode directions.
    I’ll put them all in limb mode and combine them with someone

    And now we're getting a repaint of Havoc. I'm about to give up on this set entirely

    Lol, for reals... I literally have a plush loaf of bread in my display case that's just waiting for the last figure to be released. If I complete both FT combiners before this set, I think I will throw up.

    Yeah:/

    Honestly, my first thought was that it’s a sign they are struggling to fund it.

    If memory serves there really wasn’t much of a lead up with the previous four in term
    My sources are not optimistic. We might have to hope for MMC/FT and try to sell these four for pennies on the dollar.

    The thing is, the alt modes and the MM on this set are fire. And the Menasor itself ain't bad. But the bot modes for the four limbs are just trash. Sorry IDW, but they're trash. But the same who think they can save GT by buying an inferior Stunticon set are the same folks who think MT is still gonna deliver with the coneheads and the Autobot headmasters.
