No one calls them out on having a "symmetrical" deco for all members. Bright red and teal just don't mesh well, unlike Devastator's green and purple or Predaking's orange and black motifs.

So ... she's had a bit of plastic surgery then ...
I'm so going to hell for that.

1. The commentary on this combiner lets me know who is an inflammatory hateful bigot against trans people (including myself), as it's perfectly within reason to critique this toy in a manner that is not transphobic or cis-normative (no, not "all women" have curves, sorry, especially alien women).
2. The commentary on this combiner allows all other decent people to look at those transphobic comments and know exactly the calibre of people they are dealing with.
I am deeply disappointed with the fanbase whose interest in robot puzzle toys I have shared for some years now, but I'm glad to see the mods are taking some action to curb the worst of the commentary.

Something awesome this way comes.
Remember this teaser for Victorion?
Look closely at the Groove mold component on her chest.
See the little bits of Cybertronian text on there? That's "Ancient Autobot".
On her left (our right) reads "far away", and on her right (our left) reads "never roam".
What do these words mean? Well, here's the full quote they come from:
"If Cybertron be your home, far away never roam. Hear my message, listen and fear. Danger comes, the end is near! Just like us, you soon will rust. All shall be turned to dust."
And here's where this quote comes from:
The G1 episode "Cosmic Rust".
Why is this relevant? Victorion hails from the Sea of RUST!
Plus, her sword's hilt is totally beetle-esque, like the Lightning Bug:

That being said, individually, not too fussed on them. But combined? I quite like the combined mode.
Individually its kind of a fail for me. Combined though... I'm really diggin it.
I agree with burn. I mean, I just find it ridiculous that some people must insist on their figures looking like supermodels... I mean, do you want your Optimus to have a super accurate male physique with sculpted muscles???
Sucking up to me will only work if you admit I'm prettier than Va'al.

ah well.
Sorry to call you out on this, but why must you wish that everyone does not buy Victorion? I can understand that you do not wish to buy the set, but why do you have to wish that no one buys it?

We didn't question it because that's just how it was. We were kids, they were robots that combined into a bigger robot, I for one wouldn't have cared about the colours back then.
So we've grown up accepting that Predaking and Devestator have a somewhat uniform colour scheme, while the Scramble guys don't.

I have this dream that if repaints have abismal sales, Hasbro will loose their hard-on for them, and we start getting more than 10 unique figures a year.
