    Apologies if this is answered elsewhere - whats the difference between Kronos and Superitron please? Can the original white versions still be purchased anywhere anymore (individually or boxed set)? or is the silver version the only one on offer and in circulation?

    Five months later!!!

    20210825_182123.jpg

    :) :) :)  After almost a year of scouring the internets I finally have my white whale!!!! A buddy of mine told me about an action figure shop (mostly official transformers and third party) that's about 40 minutes away from my house. I had never heard of the place and since they didn't have a website I decided to check it out in person. I really wasn't expecting them to have anything that I needed/didn't already have so imagine my surprise when I saw Catapult amongst the three Zeta Toys boxes they had for sale. Seriously I almost pissed my pants in the store. I had straight up given up hope on ever finding the figure. The price was actually really decent too (about $110 CDN).

    At last my Superion is complete!

    Edit: I am seriously still in disbelief. I've been telling everyone about it - even people who don't know jack about/don't care about Transformers or collecting... :D

    That's amazing, congrats! Primus truly smiled upon you, perhaps you should have bought a lotto ticket on the way home from that shop.

    Man, what do you guys use to get this thing combined, does anyone do it well in video form? I haven’t used paper instructions since G1.

    I started trying to get Silverbolt’s hands away and got confused. I’ve been spoiled by Constructor coming in combine mode form.

    Here's the review of when he combined them and the other two JTI's also, just in case anyone needs them.

    I don't want to come off rude here, so sorry, but your post made me wonder a bit, but do you rarely/ever transform your figures?

    I’m exaggerating with the hand, I’m worried about snapping off flimsy plastic with these guys.

    I usually only transform them once and leave it on a shelf, unless I know there’s an issue I haven’t gotten around to solving like sanding the peg on FT Jabber to get back to robot mode without snapping something.

    So I got this together and painted the eyes. He’s really solid and rad, much less finicky than Constructor.

    So for those that have Zeta’s superion and Bruticus, which one is a more fun set of figures? Not only in combined mode, but as individuals as well.

    Quick question: Can anyone tell me if the attachable toon chest piece came with all of the Superitron metallic gift sets, or was it limited edition or something?

    Just so I understand things correctly - the current version is a light grey where everything was white on the original bots? If this is correct - has anyone done any side by side comparison photos? Is the new version metallic too? thanks in advance my friends.

    New version is metallic, yes. I don't have it, though, so I can't do any comparison shots for you.

    I am always changing my display so I like to change my superion between IDW or G1 version. But the metal chest plate is a huge hassle to take off and on with the sticky tape so I used strong magnets and placed them inside the torso and the chest plate.

    I also used Tamiya clear red with white base primer for the G1 eye, and Tamiya light metallic blue with white base primer for the IDW version.

    I know this is a bit late but yes the new one is metallic and looks great in person but doesn't show so much in pics. Even though shades of colors were changed it's just enough to make a difference but not throw off his look. I'm sure someone not paying attention and scrolling through pics may not even know there was a change. In person though I think the difference would stand out much more than pics, both look great though!

    Man, I'm kicking myself for not jumping on this guy when he was $300 at Show.z. What a great representation.
