Anyway, the figure looks good. But where would Wideload be? Is he going to be like Nautilator? Stay on the sidelines as his other comrades fight in battle?

I believe that would be Wideload.

Thanks.
I believe... this will be the first combiner I own that stays separated for the most part. :p

On top of that, since there's been such a time gap between components, how are people supposed to complete this when people have been selling off their personal collection of these?
I surely hope they plan to reissue the first limbs to go with the newer components when they release, otherwise this is going to make a lot of people angry when it's all said and done.

Besides, we knew pretty much from the start that this thing was going to be a combiner, so anyone who sold off the earlier limbs was probably aware of that and decided to sell them anyway so they're just SOL.

But these are still the not-Throttlebots so I think most (myself included) will probably be keeping them in their individual bot or vehicle modes for the most part, regardless of how cool the combined form is.
Grind Rod sold out pretty much everywhere long ago, so I doubt it would hurt TW to reissue him as he'd probably sell another run. But Aurora's on clearance on BBTS for $35 and Trace is still readily available at retail price.

True enough, and even with these prototypes, given the time frame so far, it's still possible the rest won't see the light of day, but then again TW hasn't had any cancellations so far that I'm aware of so at worst I think it just may take a long time to get them all, but I do believe they will all see a release eventually.megatronus wrote:xyl360 wrote:Why would people have been selling off their collections of these?

I know you're being frank, but that's very ungenerous of you. People have all sorts of reasons for selling stuff off. And this project has taken a long time, with the fandom receiving information irregularly at best. It would not have been unreasonable to assume this project would not see completion.
He's awesome, just like the rest of TW's figures. In fact, the only TW figure I own that I've had any issues at all with as far as the quality goes is Hegemon. Some of the plastics on him feel a bit cheap, but he's still solid. Everything else of TW's that I own (so far everything except Orion, which I skipped) is rock solid. Their not-Throttlebots, Aurora included, are no exceptions. Both modes are fantastic and he has a really clean transformation.megatronus wrote:xyl360 wrote:I mean yeah, the combined form looks GREAT.

I'm contemplating picking up Aurora. $35 is a really good price for a quality 3rd Party figure. What do you think of him?
Rated X wrote:Very disappointed in the oversized Wideload figure. I was expecting them all to be more or less the same height like another famous combiner with 6 team members. Ill still buy him since Im 3 figures deep and Throttler looks good. But these are not the Throttlebots. They fooled us all by nailing Rollbar spot on and then going wacko with the others. That's why Rollbar sold out and the 2nd and 3rd didn't do as well. Screw Toyworld. Theyre headmasters suck. This was a disappointment in the end. Hegemon was awesome and Orion is solid. That's about it...
