    I'm in for another set with the re-issue. I will keep the other set in the other modes or in the 15" combiner shelf.
    WB-03 can go 18 inches if you mis-transform the leg bots and not look wierd. He has multiple chest/shield/wing option to enlarge the torso and the arms already looked too large being so shoulder top heavy.
    I have that extra Zeta Kronos Superion alt--StudioOx head that I will repaint to be show accurate.
    Head too big? He is Computron! The playability of this is set is top notch in all modes while looking great!
    It has stayed the test of time.

    People have already started paiting OX head eyes blue. I think it can make a fine WB-03 head.

    I'll post a pic a little later. I was quite pleased with my efforts.

    I've always been pleased on how stable Warbotron made their combiners; even in this mis-transformed limb mode in the legs.
    I got a little over 17" in height to the top of the head and a little over 18" at those high shoulders. I only had a measuring tape vs a measuring stick.

    So you can see I filled that combiner war gap in the limb's legs with the limb bot's weapon.

    There are many examples of alternate chest methods. I found a combination of someone using the shields for the chest and the wings for the chest combined. I used one of the extension peg adapters to attach the shield to the crotch (Can't be unseen ^^O)

    I found the Zeta combiners Kronos head was way too big though. Raising the existing head's antennas helped a litt.e.

    This is one of my favorite combiners. The color scheme agrees with me. I am a sucker for orange and more so, transparent orange.

    Received my arrival notice for the reissue of this guy from showz last night. I will use him for bot mode and hope FT or ZT does one for combined mode.

    Hmm. I might get the gift set just to have the technology represented in my collection. The g1 aesthetics aren't spot on but I don't care enough about the characters for that to really be an issue for me

    Another thing I like about Wb03 is the weapons and the many many configurations they can have while being held (by fist) or stored realistically in all of his ports. His back pack for example and plenty of ports for all his weapons that aren't being held. I'm sure I could pull other weapons combinations from the other limbs and make some new ones. Now he has G1 white thighs again! Stretched the chest shield a little this time.. looks better than my last post.

    That is a no-brainer price. This set is amazing for that price.

    I'd buy in if I didn't think the shipping would be high.

    They are a solid company. I had this preordered at $210. When they did the price drop to $167 they awarded me 5,000 points to cover the difference!

    For a moment I thought the 167 price as in a non USD currency. Very glad to see that's not the case... I may just have to dive in on this one.

    Finally my set arrived after almost 6 weeks in transit. It's a decent set, a bit dated as to be expected, and will act as my bot mode placeholder until MMC/XTB/ZT/FT releases better set.

    ^This was the real surprise of the set, a clear model kit, legends scale Grimlock. I fat-fingered it of course and broke the swing arm that connects dino chest to the robot chest. Oh well, super glue be thy friend.
