Looks nice but why would they put a radar dome on an A-10 warthog ???

Honestly, I don't know either. In fact, when you change either A-10 to robot mode, the pieces from the radar dish look very odd just hangin out on the sides of the wings. It's as if FP could not figure out what to do with them.

If you are referring to the "Holiday Bells and Whistles", then so did the rest of us. I received mine and was impressed that it atroves before Christmas but it was a gift to myself and I will be leaving it sealed in the bubble wrap it came in as I have the original already, it does look nice though.

Here's the add-on on on ROTF/Universe Superion....




It's OK. But it's the color of the leg parts that throw it off. The only accuracy to G1 is Silverbolt's colors. Everything else is as usual off-center. The other thing is the mold degradation is present for the ROTF/Universe version. It's not as sturdy, causing it to rely heavy on the add-on kit. I think I'll go with the gray add-on kit for ROTF version.

I spy with my little eye:

• A Wii Classic Controller
• Project A-Ko 3 (VHS?)
• Mario Kart Wii box
• Nintendo Gamecube
• What appears to be an XBOX 360
• Universe Leo Prime (the recent Target-exclusive version)
• A cellphone?

I've got the original version of this, and it adds tremendously to the group and gestalt.

Actually you got all except one right, the cellphone...more like the home phone. The 360 is under the TV, the big box in the corner is my arcade stick for PS3 to play fighting games.

I'm quite the collector you know. My wife has her Black ROTF Optimus Prime, I have my Snowman kit. I currently own a Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, XBOX 360, Wii and a PS3 (hardware backwards compatible w/PS2)

Here goes my next paycheck....

I'm looking to pick up this kit and then repaint Superion to G1 colors entirely. Possibly repainting some of the addon kit in the process.

I think from this perspective possibly leaving the fists white and feet white may be the right way to do it. I'm almost of the opinion to get Energon Superion simply for the initial mold quality and tightness of the figures, since I will be repainting them the original colors don't matter as much.

Its too bad I can get the ROTF one for like 30-40$ and energon seems to be much more.

I had every Energon combiner...and even when they came out some of them were difficult to find. I remember having to wait until the end of the line to finally pick them up. Windrazor and Terradive were the hardest. I finally got them, then sold them becasue I had no money. Now I have the Target set, and I got a Superlink set at the flea market for $45. it had the box but no insert. Yes, there is a difference in quality. The nosecones are more rounded for the raptor jets in the Target set. The paint on Sliverbolt has smudged like they did with Universe Prowl. I was not happy with that, so I keep them in the box.
