Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide are already in this comic in their G1/CW bodies.o.supreme wrote:Man this gets my mind going....It would be neat if next year they released the Maximal Elders as Magnaboss. I just wonder what vehicle modes they could choose? (Ironhide-a Prime/Motormaster retool, Silverbolt-any Airealbot limb, Prowl-CW Prowl retool) and who would be the 4th/5th members...I know it wont happen...just fun to think about though.

He is right. G1 Ironhide, Silverbolt and Prowl became Magnaboss.

Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Reflector looks good...in robot mode. That "camera" mode is a clusterf*ck.
Airrazor looks OK I guess. Meh. I'd rather have the Slipstream version of that mold.
Unit-3 looks...alright I suppose? Eh, don't really care. Nice vehicle mode though.
Tigatron is pffffft hahahahaahaahHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But is it worth paying 100+ on eBay? I must ponder this thought.

Tigatron and Airazor don't look that appealing, but I like how Unit-3 has turned out. Custom Class Ratchet does make me a bit sad though, because I hoped Combiner Wars Ratchet would happen at some point....just not as a convention's custom class exclusive figure that has no paint or stickers, and I won't be able to afford one anyway. Here's hoping Titans Return (or even Prime Wars 3 whatever that will be) has room for a new Ratchet figure somewhere.

Transformers Beast Wars Under-3 (Lionhead) Gallery
Somehow, the Souvenirs... I don't know, don't make me so enthusiastic. Maybe because most are more of the same (Airazor, Tigatron). Unit-3 may be the shining light in the set because of his source material.

- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
