    Sorry to jump back a couple days, but what did you need to do for mods? Was it just spacing up the trailer axles? Or was there mods to make the connection to the cab as well?


    Edit
    **nevermind, I found your post in the Radicons section. I'll ask there lol**

    Sweet pics, thanks for posting.
    What is the Starscream toy like? Is he significantly different than the combaticon and aerialbot jet moulds?
    I like Vortex better in grey, but the blue on his legs not so much.

    Man those Technobots look wonderful, seeing these makes me upset. Only way I could get that set is as a Christmas gift. This will be a great Christmas if I get both Computron & Fortress Maximus.

    Seeing Hasbro's Technobots is bittersweet. For what they are, they look pretty good. However, Computron not having his own head really takes away from the overall figure and Lightspeed looks more like Combiner Wars Red Alert. It's really a shame as I think the Takara mold with the Hasbro colors would have looked fantastic.

    Seeing the hasbro techno bots makes me hate the set less and less. The paint on them looks excellent. I thought I would hate scattershot paint but he looks so nice. Gonna have to rethink my decision on g2 superion

    I actually have Grand Galvatron's components displayed separately. Unintentionally it ended up like this :

    Cyclonus standing with Energon Galvatron and Classics Scourge
    Thrust standing with Armada Unicron
    Starscream standing with CW Bruticus and Shockwave
    Roller standing with WfC Optimus Prime and company in my WfC faction charge diorama

    Breakdown is by himself (I don't own a Prime Knock Out to go with Breakdown).

    Yes, I'm with you. I think the Hasbro one will be the one I keep combined with the perfect effect add-ons, and the takara version will be the one I have for individual bots.

    Can't tell you how excited I am we have two options with this set. I was super bummed a year ago when 'betatron' was announced but no limbs. I think we all kinda knew takara would probably come through, but it's been great to see Hasbro listen to the demand and offer something as well.

    Awesome. How does UW Brawl's torso hold up? Does it lock in securely?

    Hasbro's technobots look terrible to me but at least they finally got the fists and feet right. now I wish someone would knock them off and make them in different colors for the rest of the combiners.

    It's the most stable pose possible that takes up the least space.

    Are there any remoulds of CW Mirage, Brawl, and Firefly? Not including repaints, different head or weapon only.

    Brawl got remolded into Botcon Ramhorn. He's slightly remolded in the upcoming Hasbro Computron, and he'll assumedly be remolded in the Liokaiser box set, but we don't know much about that yet.

    Mirage himself was a remold of Drag Strip, other than that, I think that's it.

    Firefly was given a new head for Quickslinger, and the Quickslinger headed mold was repainted into Hasbro's Blast Off.
