He looks much better when attached to Menasor since his colors are more closely based on Menasor's roller car than Blackjack's colors are.

& those two molds other feature to become a chestpiece would be a non plus! as they wouldn't be able to work that way with existing &/or current RID figures

Takara put every CW Legends class toy in their Adventure line because they're selling the Combiners as five-packs in Unite Warriors to be as show-accurate as possible. Menasor and Defensor only had five members, not six, and none of them were chestplates. So Takara threw all of the Legends class molds (Powerglide, Shrapnel, Bombshell, Cosmos, and these two) into the Adventure line where they are officially ignoring any and all playability between them and the Combiners.

Smart move by takara. Powerglide made one stupid looking gun and the whole chest plate idea was dumb to begin with. Everybody talked crap about it on TFC Uranus with phantom ray but when Hasbro does the same thing now everybody loves it.

Well the problem with Phantom Ray is that he's pretty floppy and doesn't work well as a chest plate. Personally I think he was a great idea and I'd buy him if they ever made him separately available.

It looked horrible on menasor with his chest doors opened up creating a hollow shell surrounding the car which wasnt even symmetrical.

Asymmetry is an underrated thing. Plus it was a neat homage to the original toy's car drone. The problem with him was that he doesn't hold on very well.

And groove was stupid as a chest plate too like Hasbro said "if we dont make him a leg WTF should we do with him ?"

Nah man. He looks pretty good as a chest plate, and it makes a lot more sense than him being a limb. Plus, it was only a matter of time before that dirty hippy Groove made way for the REAL hero- Protectobot "Cook the Crook" Rook and his fist of justice.

As far as im concerned its the Override mold and Groove is the lazy repaint lol. Now to find him some guns...

First our lord and saviour Alpha Bravo, and now poor Groove? I don't think you quite understand how repaints work.

(I agree that Override needs some big ol' chromed up guns though.)

How?




Quillfire's an offroad truck, Strongarm's an SUV.

Meanwhile...




That's a much closer match.

i was referring to Quillfire as mud bogger bulkhead, but since you bring it up: Strongarm is the Bulkhead from a universe where everything is backwards except for good and bad. smart to not so smart, male to female, lithe yet beefy to outright bulky, rule breaker to rule enthusiast....

Don't forget offroad truck to SUV.

You bet it is! And his head even has some limited left to right motion, which was hard to demonstrate in the pictures, but it allows for more movement than just looking straight forward.

btw if we ever get a Warrior Class Springload, i hope it's vehicle mode is more cartoon accurate than that god awful one step! that thing is just painful to look at, i dunno why they've made him look like a repaint of G1 Windcharger(vehicle mode).
