Oh I see. But you dont have him yet right? A feature on that would be cool.

I'm getting him tonight

Not at retail in my area yet, but I could go get the entire wave right this second if I wanted to drop $70 on them.

DS is getting them tonight, I can wait. Hook us up and I'll front page ya!

Hey Will, do you agree that some pics of that and possible backpack usage would be worth a news post?

Or am I the only one that's interested in that?

Its worthy of a news post. As it stands I actually have no idea what you guys are talking about and would like to know. So yes, if you have news that the world should know, then you finally have the best outlet with this site

PS: HFG means Huge Fricken Gun right?

No you're thinking of the BFG from Doom; and so did I the first few time I saw it like this.

HFG = hand foot gun

What I'm babbling about is that CW TB has a unique HFG - thumb is very different and only two fingers. I'm speculating that it can be shoved in his backpack to look like the G1 toy with the bubble blower over his head.

It was also speculated once that it might form a tow rig in truck mode for the possible Hoist repaint.

Juggling family responsibilities while I formulate my Star Wars thought. I feel obligated now that Jak called me the Star Wars King.

Back in a bit!

That would be boss! Either double joint the thumb or more likely just allow the HFG to be pegged in upside down.

BTW - do your novembro a favor and be cool like Jaki and spoiler alert that SW write up

I've got some stuff to finish up, so I can't take pics right now, but they have arrived! Stay tuned!

Dang guys, make me catch up here!

OK, getting this out of the way: I'm saying Rey is a Kenobi. She has to be. And I want her to be.
BB-8 Is my little guy. i loved that little ball with a dome so much. He even flips off Finn
Ren had a great lightsaber, really cool looking.

Also: any confirmation yet if wave 2 with Sky Lynx and Onslaught has the changed colors? Cause If so I'm pulling the trigger.

Due to the fact that I don't know how to post images (besides attachments, but you can only have one of those), for easier viewing, I've posted the images on my Gemr account: https://gemr.com/user/decepticon-sunstorm

That link doesnt show me anything but a blank page. The way to put images on this site is to have photobucket.com, upload the pics there and then link them to this site.

Try going to gemr.com and searching for decepticon-sunstorm in the enter search term thing at the top of the page. Scroll down, and my stuff should come up.

I can make do with that site, but it will have to wait until I get home to a pc. The real news here is Trailbreaker's combiner hand foot. No pressure, I'm just curious and I would guess so are our other users.

In other CW related news. I just spied an article on tformers that states that wave 2 Onslaught is the grey bits version. I've been involved in a lot of convos today on various threads. If I'm remembering correctly, Cobs, weren't you looking for the grey flavored version?

From up or down, it looks like the silver thing above his head, but from the front, it just looks black. Unfortunately, I only realized that after I uploaded all the photos to Gemr.

EDIT: Here's an angle where it looks silver:

From which ever way you feel like sharing. The more pics and angles the better. Again I'm really not trying to be as pushy as I may be sounding.

I'll check that link again when I get home.

Ok I did that and I scrolled down but I just see your betatron. I dont see trailbreaker by himself or anything that has been mentioned here regarding him so far. It might be there but I dont see it. I click on your name and I just get your bio again. This site is SUPER FRUSTRATING. I highly recomend you start get photobucket if you plan on posting more pictures on this site, it is very easy.

EDIT: Ok I got a gemr account and found a trailbreaker pic




It's not really close to what I was imagining from what was being discussed, I dont see any new functionality over the previous mold iterations and it doesnt really fill out the back. I dont see a newstory out of this unless I am missing something.

He and Smokescreen are in the same thing as Betatron (the one with the Wave 6 limbs). You have to click on him, then it takes you to a better view of him. When you get to this screen, there should be some pictures to the side, of which Trailbreaker is one.

Anyway, I sent Cary a different picture where you can see the silver (you can't very well on the one on Gemr).

Hey fellas... I'm sure this was discussed a few hundred pages back in the CW thread, but are there actually two versions of Onslaught that made it to production?

I believe Hasbro said there be a running change to Onslaught. I think the early models showed all the grey plastic as an olive army greenish.

I don't think what the running change was actually going to be. Could have just been that Onslaught was going be packed with Sky Lynx in wave 2.

Will may be able to answer that question better.

I wanted and got the grey version from a local seller. I have it on good authority she will be getting Sky Lynx soon. I got my name on one.

I'm not so sure this olive one exists. I just did a quick search on ebay and none of them specify which version it is or state that there's any differences. I'm thinking it either hasn't happened yet or it just ain't

I'm pretty sure it's pure speculation. If I'm remembering correct the green version shown also had a white wheel.

Oh I have the PE kit for Bruts in my TFS stack. I really need to pull the ship trigger on that. I watched peaugh's review and it looks nice.

I don't think the olive green one exists. I thought it was going to, and it was stated that it would, but it looks like it will not now

I don't remember what was said exactly, but it was said at Botcon 2014.







Maybe it was just the proto type. Maybe they bailed on the idea.
I believe, and feel free to CMIIW, but I think silver is toy accurate, and green is toon.
Y'all know how I like to roll.
We'll all find out early next week when my case pack arrives from BBTS.

See I really like the green and I wish it was like that. And I have thought hard about that 2-pack but haven't jumped. should I do that, or jump on the Hoist and MTMTE volume 8 from Amazon?

I'm glad you guys are buying CW stuff. I've been disappointed.

Now watch me pick up CW Cyclonus this weekend when I'm at Kmart or TRU
