I just ordered Takara Computron from robotkingdom(only place I knew that wasn't out of stock on preorder) and the shipping was $55. Pretty steep and I backed out all through August due to that but I finally caved because I wanted it and I'm considering it my birthday present for me since its in 2 weeks

Curious, what's your favourite combiner and why do you like Victorion that much?

Bruticus. Bruticus has been my favorite combiner since I saw Starscreams Brigade when I was little.
I like Victorion because of the personality she's been given in the comics and I actually enjoy her colors and the symmetry of having two coptors and two cars as limbs. She's fun. I leapt on her once I saw she was instock online and it's cool to have a new scramble city combiner. I really like it when we get new characters in G1.

Wish I could add something to this but I can't because I agree with every point

Yeah she's so cool. I get really frustrated when Victorion gets raged on, especially by the armchair critics who don't even own her and crap on her just from photos. I love moonbase2 podcast but their most recent podcast they refer to her as "S#%+ Victorion" half a dozen times and they admit they don't own her. In hand she's pretty cool, looks great next to the other Autobot Combiners especially based on the fact she's not a cybertron in combiner and it's pretty neat to have a female combiner team. She's not perfect but there is no such thing as a perfect toy.

I go back and forth on Victorion. I'm tempted but I already have too many Autobot combiners and the color scheme isn't working for me. I might spring for Megatronia if I can find a good price.

So this does at least even things out a little bit. Plus we all know the reason we didn't get those combiners this time round is because they're beasts which you just cannot make from the vehicle molds - and you needed those vehicle molds because all pre-1987 combiners (ie the ones people care about most) are made of vehicles.

That's why I always enjoyed the Decepticons having more Combiners. Back then the autobots always outnumbered the Decepticons. Even back in 84 you had all the autobot cars like jazz, Ironhide ratchet etc which consisted of 11 all together and the minibots which had 6. The 84 cons were Megs, soundwave, his caskets and 3jets. Autobots have always outnumbered them -mostly because Decepticons are more or were suppose to be more dangerous than the autobots- so getting many Combiners always felt like they were evening the playin field. The autobots always had numbers but the Decepticons had Gestalts.

That's been my argument for a year and half now. I never expected Predaking or Abominus because like you said you can't really repaint them to anything appealing, I know that's how some feel about half of combiner wars because we got a lot of retools and repaints but for me they all worked. I never looked at alpha bravo and said that's just a recolored Vortex or slingshot as a white firefly. They are all the characters they're intended not to be. According to some Hasbro says they're working on predaking and Abominus but ill believe but when I see it. We had a lot of concepts get abandoned and many figured never released so we'll see but I'm not waiting for me to happen.
