    If Buzzsaw were a yellow Ravage redeco, I would care. That just isn’t right. :D

    What? Ravage would need yellow if we got a buzzsaw because of the gang molding between him and laserbeak

    I personally want a redeco of Bombshock and Growl, because so far they're the only Micromaster pair to not get recolored.

    I'd also really like a Micromaster Hot Rod, even if I don't have a Star Convoy to go with him.

    Maybe they can include micromaster Hot Rod as a pack-in with the Ark.

    Wouldnt it just be the red on Laserbeak that would be changed to yellow. If anything the Ravage mold would remain identical since the grey and black are also used on Buzzsaw.

    Best bet would probably add some orange paint apps to make him Stripes.

    Or cast the black parts in dark blue to make Howlback. But then Buzzsaw's black parts would be blue as well.

    Oh, I get what you’re saying! I thought you meant that you wanted a Buzzsaw so bad that you’d settle for a yellow Ravage named Buzzsaw. Silly me! :lolol

    I don't have the toys so I'm not sure what the exact mold pairing is, just that everyone cites "yellow ravage" as an issue with Buzzsaw seeing release.

    It wouldn't be, laserbeak has red where Buzzsaw has yellow, it would more be the issue of the ravage that comes with buzzsaw would just be ravage. Which is why Netflix sound wave coming with laserbeak was odd to a lot of people.

    So, would anyone be kind enough to share how they pieced together their Countdown rocket bases from this set?

    Opened mine and it's fun to mess with, but I'm having a hell of a time lego-ing the pieces that aren't the flat planks together into something that resembles the base...

    I don't know about the base mode(s), but I really enjoyed finding they can do this:

    It was posted on the sales and deals thread but I thought I’d post here that this set is on sale on Amazon today.

    …However after just looking one last time before posting this it looked like might be sold out. If not, hope anyone that was holding out like I was can get a set.

    Yeah, it sold out. Happy for those who were waiting for it. I was waiting for a sale at one point since I didn't have any of the deluxes, but when they went to $9.99 on Hasbro ebay shop, I just did that so I didn't need this set.

    I got this set a while back. The smaller scale is my favorite and thise is such a cool base set. I haven't pulled it out of its original box since I packed it up to move over a year ago.

    I just managed to get a Titan Ark yesterday and still haven't opened it. I think when I open it up tomorrow, I will also pull this set out and make a dope base display leading to the ship.

    I have about 6 or so Micromasters and some core class to make it feel alive. Anyone know if there is a dedicated thread for the Ark too?

    Juat throwing it out nut this set is probably the most fun and best value out of Transformers I've gotten. Two big figures to make a cool base, and 4 mini figures to populate the base. The added giant Missile really sells it. I juat wish we had extra road clip parts. I wish I could just buy like 6 more separately. I got one of the mocromasters that clips as part of the road, but that's expensive for just 1 segment, though i do l9ve that his alt mode is just being another brick in the road haha.

    I'll have to take some pictures tomorrow after I set it all up

    The colors of the set goes great with SkyLynx, the Worlds Smallest Transformers from Super Impulse are affordable ways to fill ranks, or get the Jada nano metals for more characters
