I can make it work in leg mode but in arm mode, I can't stand them. I wish the pin was more accessible so I could tighten it myself as it just wobbles all over the place and is too loose.

Also, I thought it was supposed to be two jets, not two helicopters. Or was that just more bad reporting from an inferior site?


I am trying to find that reporting but cant find it on our site. The picture probably was Jet/Helicopter and they opted to give us 2 helicopters.



I was referring to TFormers. I read there a few days ago that it was supposed to be two jets. I can't find the article now but I do remember it was there that I seen it.

Not too shabby. I like the head design, and the gravity powers sound awesome.

thats a let down, i knew the set was going to be all repaints but to have 2 of the same mold is just stupid. And it doesnt help that its the worst CW mold so far. I will wait till i see the final product but based on this ill be passing on at least one of the chopper chicks.

maybe the obvious feminine shape that wont be reflected in the toy? I dunno. I actually was hoping the toy would look feminine. Variety, ya know? But I can see the point that its drawn the be feminine although it wont look very feminine.

But I kinda hope it does look like this art...so...not complaining?
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.

Because identifying a female character as female is social justice sexism, forcing women to go out and entertain like a minstrel act, it promotes rape culture, objectifies women, and the cisgender white man is the devil. I'm sure at least one of those is a "reason" for thinking it sexist. I don't know maybe the sexist part was we didn't have a female combiner until 30 years in the brands history. Or the fact alota people still operate with that weird 80s sexism and misogyny.

She has wings! Like really large wings that don't seem to be related to the a/b arms; maybe a new legends figure to make a backpack, or just the remolded ladder; at the very least the chest doesn't look like groove, and even has some of Hotspots sculpted detail on it, so maybe no Groove, but a new jetpack figure.

Halfy way serious. I don't have a problem with a female character being any shape really as long as its a interesting character design. The point was people decrying victorion as sexist will probably follow the logic that it's objectifies women because. My point was the actual sexism here is the fact it took nearly 30 for women to have a more regular role and representation in the franchise, and people view that as a bad thing.

OH GOD!!! all the hideous bland white plastic!!! Make it STOP :HEADHURTS:

Seriously though, TT's Superion uses way too much of the same white plastic as to make it visually painful; and I agree, waiting 'til official art/pic's are available would probably be best; however, being both a combiner and a mob of fembots, this is an easy insta-buy for me.

Hasbro, you cheap mother******

I shouldn't bitch because we all knew they were going to hose us on this one but it is still a slap in the face.
Take the sh** pieces of the first 3 combiners and say "Here's how much we respect your input and the obscene amount of money you've thrown at us for the past 30 years."

You noobs want to be excited about this, be my guest but they've been getting my hard earned money since 1984, back when Wheeljack cost all of $7.99 and Huffer only cost me $2.99.
We long time fans deserved better than this and no, that joke of a Titan Class combiner is no consolation. They f'd that up too as far as I'm concerned.
I'm a cigar chomping, Energon guzzling, crotchety old bot that's tough as nails, two days older than dirt, can out grouch Ironhide, out-complain Huffer, leave Bluestreak speechless with a single glare and make Grimlock back down in a stare-off.

More likely because on the Internet there will always be someone to call something sexist, because at this point, washing every sentiment or issue with a weak coat of feminism is the best way to ensure the long term persistence of patriarchy, while garnering praise for supporting the cause.

Okay, the first thing that popped into my head was how well they matched... identical... like little femmi-clones....

Considering the rest of the combiners (so called males) usually have the fashion sense of a blind bull in a paint shop, I'm wondering what they are saying here... cause I know men have more style :twisted:

Seriously... I'm unimpressed.

To be fair, Hasbro only had, what, 3 colors, 4 colors to work with for the whole team? Not a whole ton of room for variation, so not sure just what you may have been expecting.

Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Vote with your wallet. It's how Hasbro, and any other business for that matter, decides what is a success and what is not. Despite what many here seem to think, they aren't a stupid business who makes stuff to lose money or to purposely piss off their customers. Everyone likes different stuff. I guarantee there are figures/lines that YOU love that others don't,

Example: I don't like Beast Wars. Never have. But the fans who love it and buy that stuff? They're awesome. Hey, go nuts buying that stuff. Enjoy it, and keep pumping money in to Hasbro so that when the time comes for them to release stuff that I dig, they're still around.

Stop calling people who like stuff you don't whatever derogatory term is your preferred slam, and simply don't buy the thing. There are plenty of others who will happily pick it up in your place and remove it from your line of sight.

There, I said it. >:oP

Actually, I like that they have similarities color wise, being a team and all, but it's too perfectly matched is what I'm saying.

What I'm not saying is that it sends a gender bias message (that boys don't have fashion sense) but that's just another facet of mother of two boys and staunch feminist that I'm sure no one wants to listen to me go into AGAIN.

(honestly, this may have a lot to do with listening to my 6 year old spout on about how something is only for girls because of it's color and something else is only for boys because of it's color. Until he started school, he never associated color with gender, I never have let him believe that, he used to like pink because it was a lighter version of his favorite color, red... until other kids told him it was a girl color)

No, there's some merit to both design types. On the one hand, a unified design makes the combiner look like something that's MEANT to go together and denotes the bots as a team.

On the other hand, a lack of unification makes the bots feel like individuals, not incomplete parts serving a bigger robot. Much as I like them, the Constructicons and Predacons can look a bit superficially samey.
