    I honestly think those look better than any MP combaticons we have seen so far. Then again, the finl colors of MS won't be that good but the designs are really spot on.

    PS: And not just the bots, the alt modes look so good, I am gonna display them in alts initially.

    Agreed! These are probably the best alt modes that MS have done yet!

    I'd say roughly 220-240$. Like 90-110$ for Onslaught and parts and 60-70$ for the other two sets of two.

    I'd ballpark somewhere around 300. Menasor was 280 total if you bought individually and devastator was 300.

    Where are you buying your figs at? Save yourself $50/60 and order from ShowZ or Bombusbee who had Menasor for $230 shipped and devy for $240.

    Hmm I think I mixed up my prices with the euro conversion, checking my Terry history, the two sets cost me 137$ + 55$ with shipping, the other I got from ali for like 78$, so yeah 270$ total.
    Devastator was also roughly the same for me, ~88$ per set, so 264$ total.

    These look great! I am just not looking forward to having to retire my War Giant. Was Bruticus ever legitimately in G1 Season 3 as more than a Animation error? I am pretty sure we saw individual Combaticons serve under Galvatron but I cannot remember them combining into Bruticus in that third season... Whatever; the IF Combaticons will end up on my S3 Decepticons shelf so I don't have to actually retire them. They've held down the fort for so long- they deserve better than banishment to the attic.

    I'm in for Swindle, the rest I'm not so fussed for. Love his design and nobody has gotten it quite as animation accurate as MS so far.

    I doubt it would ever happen for a first release combiner, but that would honestly be pretty sweet, not gonna lie.

    I don't think there's a possibility. Plus it's not ideal for us Europeans, customs work different for orders above 150€.

    I always forget about the overseas stores... I've bought most of my legends from chosen prime though.

    These look good, but I wonder how long it'll take for the full team to release?

    For comparison, ShowZStore total price for Menasor for me was $224.97 and Devastator was $238.97 total.

    Slightly off topic, but for your digibashes, if you play around with the saturation and darkens the shadows or blacks, you'll get a little bit more of a "natural" coloring. Here's an overall edit of your image. When you're working with the individual layers though, you can do it layer by layer for each individual color. For example, Swindle is still a little bit bright here in my edit of your image, his yellow layer specifically could use a touch less bright

    Both Menasor and Devy had a gift set after being released separately, right?

    I really want this team all in one box, don't know why.
