I agree it is a very nice set. I was pretty impressed on how it improved Energon Superion Maximus...

Not sure if I would buy another of this particular set, but I do give it high marks for what it can accomplish, but I don't think I need another.

Great review. After seeing this, coupled with the news that FansProject will be doing a Bruticus add-on kit, I finally caved and purchased this (in the original colours) and Superion & Bruticus.

FansProject really can turn an average retail toy into something very nice - and I think that this is one reason it would be unwise for Hasbro to try and crack down on them, since FP's products actually increase sales of Hasbro products (excluding Defender which is a stand alone figure).

Now to find a little more room on my shelves.

I'm curious as to what the "bells and whistles" were going to be..I ordered this set way back in november and it literally just got here yesterday..Not really happy with the way Tf source packed it either..Remeniscent of how HTS shipped all of the SDCC soundwaves....

Hey guys and gals, I need a little help with some decision making. Can anyone throw up pics of Superion with the grey kit and pics with the snowman version of crossfire? I'm tempted to get the Snowman kit, but the grey one might well be better...


Unless you can direct me to a pictorial review of the grey crossfire kit with ROTF Superion. All I've seen is Superion Maximus with both kits...

Idk

I already have the original appendage set, as was originally not going to get the stocking stuffer version, but I don't know now.

Besides my ROTF/Universe and Energon superions that must stay MISB, i have only purchased a second ROTF set just to unbox for the original appendage set.

I absolutely love the original set, and when I saw this I thought... "man, why couldn't they just do white to begin with?!" Original G1 supieron was mostly white, and I thought when I saw the new "white appendages" that they seemed more appropriate.

It would be cool if the original author could post some pics of this set on the ROTF color scheme. I do not want to go purchase a separate Energon mold, just to open for this appendage set.

Thanks

He did.

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 just fit the appendage kit on my ROTF superion and I still had to take the inner wings of the warthogs off to make it look right ..His legs being so far apart just ruined how the kit made the feet look...

I'm going to merge this with the above topic, because it is probably of interest to many folks looking in on that thread too.

Thanks man, appreciate it! Actually looks pretty damn good with the original set, the grey is brighter than I thought it was!

Looks great with both sets, so I guess I'll go with whichever set I find cheapest! ^^
