This seems like the answer for those who were turned off by Microblaze's required dismemberment.

He looks good, but this had better work well for the indibdual robots- having a pile of parts sitting aside whenever they aren't combined would suck.

This looks promising. I would be tempted to upgrade my boosticus sets if you dont have to disassemble the individual bots. I could care less about parts storage, thats what parts boxes are for.

looks good (from what i can see). but boosticus is already out, covering all bases, and at a pretty good price. i doubt ill be swayed away.

Whoever makes a kit dedicated to the G2 version, that'll be the one I get

got rid of these toys years ago. Because the sculpts were terrible, hollow toys, poor engineering, Ugly colors, Too small scale for FOC Onslaught. I'm only willing to buy 3rd party replacements parts if the TF toy or toys weren't a total disaster and only needs minimal replacements parts to make it perfect.

Hoping at some point HasTak recreates all the 1980's USA G-1 combiners for the CW toy line. Hoping the CW toy line lasts from 2015 to 2017, So HasTak can do all of the 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 TF USA TF combiners. Sorta like Hasbro did with the TF Kreon Combiners toy line.

If Hasbro ever decides to do a FOC Bruticus toy in 1986 toy colors, puts it in a beautiful gift set box and sells it for around $75 to $100, Then I'll buy it.

That looks pretty great. Much better than the Boosticus set and possibly better than the MBC set.

I just really hope the parts do something when he's dismantled. Yes, parts boxes and all, but it's so much nicer when parts do something (as iffy as the trailer that the Boosticus parts form is, I admire the effort).
