    More than the kind of ugly way they augmented the colors to be eye-wateringly bright,
    I'm pissed that Lancer didn't get any remolding except for yet another new head.

    Hasbro and Takara both blow after their "soft merger" and basically it's just resulted in
    bland cash grabs for both (glares at Star Convoy as well). Probably two years or so ago,
    we might have gotten new waist armor or a way for that canopy that ends up as back kibble
    to at least form the skirt like she had in the show.

    If you hate them so much buy 3P stuff and move on.


    I'm looking forward to getting this, though she and her compatriots will never see combined mode.

    I think people expected the hands, face and maybe the upper legs to be lavender colored.

    Face looks awful, to be honest. LOVE that color scheme, though-- easily my favorite out of the various iterations of this mold.

    If Hasbro are in a mood to finish combiners, how about Buster & Hydra, from Blackwing & Dreadwind or Thundercracker & Skywarp from UW Starscream?

    Phil still wants a solid version of UW Starscream

    My first thought as well, lol. Almost wanna buy a 2nd one to send to Jeremy.

    I'm for sure grabbing one of these, but I'd be lying if I said I loved the colors. I know she's supposed to be purple and orange, I don't have a problem with that. But I think the colors definitely could have been muted a bit. Maybe she won't look as bold as a combiner leg though; that's how mine will be displayed.

    Whelp, bought. I haven't been so fascinated/horrified by transformer lips since Overlord.

    Nice it's actually happening. Hasbro's finally doing all the original femme bots, but this doesn't feel like it gets to be the event it should be.

    Maybe it's how long it took, maybe it's the designs in service of combining. Maybe it's the knowledge they aren't going to be standards, and this as good as it gets for the next thirty odd years.

    Looks horrible but I keep saying that and then I buy them anyway so that doesn’t say too much.

    She looks like a KO.....and I love it! I'm going to have to do something about that face, though.

    Also, Fempactor. Just saying.

    Wish they'd gone more lavender for the face and hands, but I'll get her anyway. I'm glad Hasbro isn't dragging this out - we'll get the last two limbs before WFC2 starts, and that's great.
