The big Groove toy is advertised on the packaging as a component of Sky Reign, so there's no overlap in the advertisements with the little Groove being a component of Defensor.fenrir72 wrote:I wonder what the explanation is for the mini Grove chest part? Who is he then?

Mini-Me after Austin Powers kicked him out. Don't worry he's still...
Groovy Baby!

Check out below a sample of what you'll find in the galleries for the six members of the Camien team, from leader (but Voyager, reusing the Hot Spot mold) Pyra Magna, to tiny Groove repaint Rust Dust, via definitely not Nightbird Dustup and Jumpstream, and of course, the Alpha Bravo helitwins Skyburst and Stormclash, finishing each other's sandwiches. Click on any of the images to view the full works, including the combined form herself - Victorion!
As a bonus, a full gallery of Combiner Wars Legends Class Wreck-Gar, everyone's favorite Junkion leader, has also been added to our extensive galleries here on Seibertron.com. This time around, Wreck-Gar is a recolor of Legends Class Protectobot Groove but features a new head sculpt complete with Wreck-Gar's traditional facial "hair". Enjoy!

Fixed by having to cut the little triangles off, but it doesn't seem to have affected the toy otherwise.

But in all seriousness, I lost all tolerance for that movie after having to see it 4 times in 2 months, along with listening to the soundtrack over and over again in my mom's car. And I didn't even like it that well in the first place.

It might seem cuter when you have two daughters who are adorable that love it. Soundtrack got a bit old after the upteenth time of seeing it, but that wasn't until after about 6 to 10 months or so.

While I don't have any daughters (too young for that), I do have two cousins who are adorable that love it (at the time they saw it, at least. I don't know how much they like it now).Seibertron wrote:It might seem cuter when you have two daughters who are adorable that love it.

Also, I tend to have less patience than most people that I know, so that might play a part.

I literally got sick of it, as in actually having to leave the entire floor because it was making me nauseous.

but apparently there is a frozen theme going on so...I guess for the first time in forever I'll make a Disney reference.
I hope my Victorion doesn't have any messed up parts. I don't want it to be a bit of a fixer-upper.

Do you want to build a Combiner?

now now now, I didn't say anything was wrong with it!
And i will gush when I have her too.
And I fully expect Alpha Bravo to replace one of the heli sisters when you get her, just like you did with Predacus.

They'd probably stomp on him if he tried.

Fuhzimota wrote:My brother ordered a Victorian for each of us. (Did I mention that I have an AWESOME younger brother? Anyhoo...) We unboxed them side by side, to discover that each of us had a scratched Stormclash sword, in the same spot (about an inch front the tip if the blade), seemingly caused by friction from the plastic ties. On my set, Jumstream's waist is really loose (her "elbow" in arm mode is floppy to point of being unposeable).Dustup's feet will NOT tab together properly on either set in arm mode. Both Jumpstream and Dustup feel light and fragile, (almost KO-ish), when compared to their mold mates from my other combiners, as if made from cheaper plastic. (Pyra Magna's back and ladder do as well). And we were both forced to battle with Rust Dust just to get her mounted to Victorion's chest. (I resorted to two-sided tape on her forearm pegs). Don't get me wrong, I love the set, and what it represents in both diversity and inclusion to our beloved hobby, as well as fan input. However, I can't help but feel a little let down over such bizarre (lazy?) quality control issues... she is obviously a marketable, profitable character, that we all waited a very long time for. While I can fix (most of) the issues with my set, I would prefer a little bit more "give a damn" from Hasbro to its customer base. We deserved better, Hasbro.
that sucks man, personally CW wars stuff hasnt been a home run in terms of qc. most my combiners suffer from lose joints etc. For the money we are paying for these sets u think we would get better.

god mensor was the worst!!!!!!!! i think defensor was the only decent combiner in terms of qc outta my cw combiners.

So? It could be for something outlandish like Grand Galvatronus, they'll do them up as whomever if they're public desires it...

The set includes reuses of previous molds released under Combiner Wars or Unite Warriors, some with retooling, some with just redecos and feature: Tactician Cyclonus, from the Cyclonus mold with a more cartoon based shade of blurple and fully orange cannon for the gestalt; Ghost Starscream, a new headed clear plastic retool of Skydive; Curse Armada Thrust, homaging the Unicron trilogy seeker in green, with a new head on Air Raid; Zombie War Breakdown, straight from Transformers Prime, looking at the toy that never was in the US; Wandering Roller, a sideways homage to IDW Roller, adding some ominous orange to Rook. The Gestalt Galvatron lookalike, you ask? A reference to the Headmasters series, in which the big purple himself decides to take on the universe in a Unicron like body - and still does, in United Warriors fiction, even after his death the first time round. Check out the gallery below!

For being a bizarre choice, sure. For being awesome and me wanty that goes to Breakdown. Dagnabbit, why do we never get that guy?
Thrust is pretty dang cool, too. Starscream looks real good, but that clear plastic is scary for longevity. Cyclonus, meh, no strong feeling.

I like that it gives us some follow up on what happened to him after his going MIA in MTMTE #36 (if he didn't become Tarn, that is).Seibertron wrote:I'm not a fan of Wandering Roller but I give them an A for effort for coming up with a proper story for him.
