Thanks!
Wheeljack and Smokescreen are barely-painted pieces of garbage and should be avoided. Hound and Trailbreaker look good though. Trailbreaker can do BIG HAND MODE with his HFG so there's that.
I've heard it splits/cracks the plastic on his cannon arm

Man, that's lousy. What is it with CW/UW and stress fractures? Between my UW Defensor, your CW Magnus and the issue you just described with Trailbreaker it seems like the whole line is just plagued with awful plastic, shoddy tolerances or both.

CW Wheeljack on his own is really bad, yes. And maybe it's cheating, but with reprolabels he can actually really shine and look quite lovely. If you're fine with sticker application and buying add-ons like this and you absolutely need a Wheeljack, it's not a bad choice.
But yeah, without the repros he's kinda crap
Or you could jut get the takara version
cheaper to just get the stickers
Not if you'd rather have a combiner wars ratchet as well.
true but you lose smokescreen

But to be fair, the Autobots had Omega Supreme & SkyLynx to counter Devastator & Predaking.
In Headmasters/Masterforce, Raiden would have been the rival for Piranacon/King Poseidon (forasmuch that each of their respective series they basically had no rival)
and in Victory- Landcross was the rival for Dinoking/Monstructor. The one nice thing about the Japanese series, pretty much all Giant Transformers rivalries were even...until you get to Operation Combination, but we will not speak of that here.

Pyra Magna's knee struts are misassembled backwards, as discussed in the main Victorion thread.Kurona wrote:What problem?

You'll have to get past the problem that the head can evoke literally no other character than Wheeljack. It's... it's just a Wheeljack head. Even if nothing else about the toy says he's Wheeljack, that head makes it impossible to see him as anything but Wheeljack.

We don't know yet. We just found out in the Unite Warriors thread that Takara is hinting at a release of Victorion in the Unite Warriors line as a Decepticon whose torso is formed by "the wife of the Emperor of Destruction".Bumblebee21 wrote:who is evil victorion.

Then it doesn't change anything because they still exist.Bumblebee21 wrote:What if you don't want Victorion or have the exclusives?
