After seeing some video reviews i think the combiner add ons are awesome. I started checking for prices and stuff on ebay. I am confused though. The prices are pretty high and it seems like these kits only contain one or two bots (if any?) and I would have to buy the others separately? Does this mean FP only makes one or two bots with the add ons included then I have to buy 3 or 4 Has/Tak toys too complete it? Or does FP only offer the add on only and I have to already have the all the bots from Has/Tak? And what bots go with each set? How do I know what TF's I have to have for each combiner? So, can someone fill me in on each of these sets, what they actually come with and what I have to buy separately to complete each combiner? Thanks in advance.
You're talking about Crossfire 02 Colossus/Bruticus set right? You need to buy both set A and B (Explorer and Munitioner) for all the add-ons for the full combined mode. Here's what each has: Explorer (Blast Off, set A): -Foot -Shotgun 1 -Shotgun 2 -Twin cannons (goes on Onslaught/back of Bruticus) -2 missile launcher shoulder extensions -Machete for Explorer (transforms into a knife for Bruticus) Munitioner (Swindle, set B): -Foot -Shotgun 1 -Shotgun 2 -2 hands -Giant rifle -Left arm gauntlet (splits in two and can combine with the hands to form weapons) -Bruticus head -Crotch piece -Small gun for Munitioner You need those two kits, and a ROTF Onslaught mold, a ROTF Vortex mold, and a ROTF Brawl mold to complete everything.
Thanks. That one is my favorite and I'd like to eventually pick it up. Now, what about the Aerialbots and others?
Aerialbot one is simpler. It's just one kit (aerial team appendage add-on kit) and just comes with everything you need to give proper arms/legs/feet/hands for the ROTF/Energon Superion set. They transform into weapons and stuff for the individual robots as well. Protector/City Commander are trailers that attach to Classics Rodimus/Ultra Magnus, and split into pieces to stick on the robot mode. G3 trailer is pretty much exactly like the G1 trailer for Classics Optimus Prime.
For reference, he's a comparison pic of FP Bruticus and FP Superion, so you can get an idea of what the finished products are like next to each other: ... Wait... NO! BAD BRUTICUS! No smashing Superion! Put him down this instant! There, much better. As you can see, Superion is somewhat shorter than Bruticus. He also uses all of the original 5 Aerialbots, while Bruticus swaps out 2 members of the Combaticons for Explorer (Blast Off) and Munitioner (Swindle)
