Defensor is my favorite, and makes the best use of scramble city configs, IMO. Bruticus looks the best, overall. I prefer these two to their UW counteparts. My third vote went to computron. UW is better, but it's a fun set for sure. Especially when you factor in the addons (the extra hands and feet and scrounge) For me, superion and devastator are heavily outclassed by their UW counterparts, but AB rocks. I hate the optimus/menasor mold. I don't own any versions of these.
I'll start off by saying Devestator. I love just how massive and articulated he is. It captures the animation feel perfectly with how massive he sometimes looked next to the other characters. I admit though it not a perfect release (with the lack of extra guns and articulation on some of the individual Constructicons) but that is fine since he's staying combined anyway. As for the standardized style of Combiner Wars figures, I went with Superion. To me, he is the better proportioned out of all the others and poses better, imo. He beats out of Bruticus because I still have problems with getting the legs on mine to fold up right and not have a stooped over look (even if there are ways to correct it, just havent had the time to look at doing anything yet).
i think the Silverbolt Torso style of inverting the body, using the arms as thighs and Legs to bulk up the shoulders to create more of a "T"-shaped Torso was brilliant and could have stood to have carried through the line (might have really helped Menasor's awkward proportions)
I got my Hasbro COMPUTRON today ! , however , I DO NOT CARE FOR LIGHTSTEED , NOSECONE and SCROUNGE w/ CYBAXX , and would love to trade any number of them ..... I am looking for UW NOSECONE , UW SCATTERSHOT , UW LIGHTSPEED , as well as ANY bots that comprise GRAND GALVATRON ...... I know the value of such things , so depending on the bot , I`d consider the lot for it .... either way if you happen to have some thing in my want list , PLEASE don`t hesitate to respond
Bruticus' colors make me swoon so I'm going to have to go with him. He also has the greatest mix of vehicles along with Defensor. Superion is the most stable one, but he suffers from "Same Stuff Syndrome". There's not a whole lot of variety with his limbs.
You might have better luck posting that in the Junkion exchange. Items For Sale or Trade I'm getting the Hasbro Computron. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford the TakTomy one, much less find a place willing to sell it. It looks like Computron is right up there in the votes behind Devastator, Bruticus, and Superion. Definately a must have. Can't wait to get mine!
