Oh crap, really? *looks over to my PCC shelf* :shock:


If that's the case, I should update TFWiki on that, shouldn't I?
Probably.


And done ;;)

Overrun seems fine so far.


Doubleclutch, on the other hand, went straight to the spares box.
I might use him for the comic strip. As Duhbleclutz.


As for Mudslinger, seriously not impressed by the combined mode, Smolder can keep the drones.
He makes for an excellent Minitaur, though, especially with Chopster in axe mode!

They're honestly a mixed bag. The COnstructicons and Dinobots are nice, but then they mess things up like the Protectobots when they go into recolour territory.

They really do seem to be a line where you really have to be picky.

Nifty, and it's a good implementation of his super mode head. :)

Soooo, we're here again.

I need a recommendation, people.

How worthy are Skyburst/Darkstream and Windburn?
I'm talking as robot mode and torso mode, less worried about the vehicle modes!
(Damn you PCCs. Damn you.)

An another note.
These guys really seem to have impressed a lot of people, thinking about it.

Iron Army sets, Mobine sets, United EX repaints.

I wonder what it is about them.

I have Skyburst and Darkstream, as well as Searchlight and Windburn, and they all have their strenghts and weaknesses.

Skyburst/Darkstream have nice robot modes, but their torso mode can be hard to pull off, plus they have shallow fists so they can't hold all weapons. Darkstream especially suffers since he can't hold his pack-in Razorbeam :lol:
Searchlight and Windburn are decent, but sometimes the rotors get in the way (which one goes where?!). The torso mode is nothing to really write home about, but easier to do. By the by, Windburn is a homage to DC Comics' Orion of the New Gods.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Does the torso mode sit and lock in place, or are they wobbly?
