The thumb seems kind of pointless. I think the dino head makes a cool hand without any need for a thumb.
Yep, I think most of the Maximals did, but not all of the Preds did.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Not all BW Neo Predacons had third "trap" modes, in fact only Guiledart (Triceradon), Saberback (Snarl) and Sling (Sludge) did.
Ah, right you are, it opens and closes his mouth, cool .JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:The thing in his mouth is actually the mechanism that opens it, you have to pull forward on the spike on his right cheek.
True (and the Terranotron/Swoop mold was used for Hydra in NEO and the remold of Grimlock (aka BW Dinobot) was used to create Hardhead (who was later used in the Beast Machines line for Dinotron).JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Finally, Grimlock and Terranotron/Swoop were regular BW molds.

I envy you. I have only the two Universe repaints, Guiledart, reissue Archadis (as Airraptor), Hydra, Hardhead and finally T-Wrecks. Problem is, I already have most of the BW Neo Maximals and VS sets are the only ones out there.

Yep, finding them individually is tough. I was kinda lucky in that. When I decided to start collecting the BWII and BW NEO lines, I resolved to get every single figure (except for the crappy G2 repaints in the BWII line) so for NEO, I got all the VS sets since I needed both the Maximals and Predacons that they included. You can find the individual ones, but they are few and far between and often cost more than just breaking down and buying the Korean issue VS sets (which means in your case that you'll have a lot of spare Maximals hanging around).

True, I may just have to sell off the excess should I break down on the Versus sets.
And the G2 repaints aren't that bad, I find them one of the more creative aspects of BWII. Of them I only miss Starscream and BB, and Autocrusher (G2 Roadblock repaint).

That's a good price Especially considering a store I know charges €45 ($60 ) for the Bump vs. Bazooka set. They do sell other sets at a more decent price, but still...

Yep, I think Bump vs Bazooka is one of the less produced/harder to find ones. It always seems to be harder to come by and more pricey. I can't remember exactly what I paid for it, but I know it wasn't too cheap.

Ah, I see why now. I checked my release lists and it turns out they're right there at the end with Survive vs. Killer Punch, another set high on my list.
