    Can anyone please tell me the sizes and types of screws that combiner wars onslaught users? I accidentally scratch striped some of the screws while trying to see how the hip assembly works. I have ratchet replacements from shape ways coming on Saturday.

    Hopefully the ko companies will put out a red version so we can have sideswipe.

    You're probably going to have to take them to a hardware store and match them up to get that answer.

    Now my combiner collection is complete. I realised I had left out Victorion, so... I put it on ebay. Fuck Victorion.

    I'm hoping they do a boxset repaint for the God Neptune team. Not like they couldn't balance it out with a G2 Volcanicus set. Wishful thinking, but a fan can hope.

    Well, That's if Hasbro decides to do combiner box sets again. Or a combiner focused line. I'm kinda feel bad that POTP lacked combiner sets. Like, they could still do those and even changed up the format to use Prime Masters instead of Legends Figures.

    That's what they did with Predaking, but It would have been nice to have more that just the one.

    Plus, they could been creative with them if they wanted too. Like a Optimus Maximus set that either homages G2 or Diaclone. I can see either of those happen.

    They could even made newly tooled one-piece combiner heads that are compatible with titan/prime masters. Simply slide one in the back of the head, and it basically makes up for the combiner lacking a space for Prime Masters in the chest. And they could be used for the onslaught mold to go with the alternative Demolishor head & the Silverbolt/Cyclonus/Scattorshot mold incase there's some random extra pre-tooled head sculpt just laying around. Heck, they could find some use for the leftover alternative heads that are just... there.

    Come to think of it, thanks to siege, they could also bring back the two deluxe battle-in-a-box concept using POTP & combiner wars sculpts. Maybe with added redecoes of Battle/Micromaster molds.

    I can't wait for my Piranacon. The last set is the most special to me, since I had (and still have) Overbite as a child and he was always a favorite. Plus he's shipping out the day after my birthday.

    It doesn't have to be a focus on sets. Isn't this the sort of thing for Generations Selects was conceived for? Something they might not do in mass release but akin to a retailer exclusive? Besides, TakaraTomy would likely be behind a God Neptune release prospectively though I remember it being Hasbro who did Liokaiser

    It’s hard to believe that five years later and we’re still getting new CW Combiners under different lines. With Galvatronus here snapping up all of my spare limbs, aside from GL Starscream, I expect he’ll be the last until Piranacon. 0F8D9DDF-B15E-451D-AD04-72D50F034E36.jpeg


    I was going to use my extra limbs on Nova Prime but he’s doing alright on his own. 484A67E8-447E-45CF-824A-81AB69834FE7.jpeg
