I was pretty disappointed in FP menasor, and I don't prefer the smaller combiners anyway.
I'll wait for TFC or MMC to get around to Computron.
Just out of curiosity, do you have Giant? I think I remember you getting Herc but I couldn't remember if you double dipped or not.
Nope, just Herc.
I didn't like the individual bot modes on Giant or the need for extra pieces.
But I do have the FP upgrades for Bruticus, and a heavily customed (but not FP) Energon/Generations Superion. So Menasor fits in with them, sort of.
I had reservations about the FP Menasor from the pics, but people were raving about it, so I jumped in. Everything I didn't like from the pics/reviews, I still didn't like in hand.
So, that was the camel straw for me and the smaller scale combiners. Gotta make choices somewhere.
Computron is a favorite of mine, and one of the combiners I had as a kid, so the nostalgia string is tugging hard for this one, but I'm resisting.
Yeah, I can understand that. If Herc was my stand in Devestator, I wouldn't go for this either. I don't think the TFC aesthetic goes well with that of MT or FP.
As far as build quality & stability goes, Giant is better than FP's Menasor IMO. So hopefully Computron continues that trend.
I have Herc & M3, and think they go pretty well together. TFC just nailed the big boxy construction vehicles look, which in my opinion, contrasts (and scales) nicely with the slender sports/race car limbs on M3. I think they'll look more cohesive as a squadron of gestalts once I complete Feral Rex - I think the aesthetics each company brings to those 3 really highlights their different personalities, but that's just me. The slight height differences don't bother me much, either.
Computron... we'll see. I want to see color renders or prototypes, but right now I have no plans to get this.

Personally I'm ok with them. They're pretty much the same, just more stylized.

strafe looks fine... but lightspeed has a real banana thing going on... i dont dig it.xyl360 wrote:Yeah, I'm not really feeling them either. The combined mode (or what I've seen of it so far) has been a let down and now the alt modes appear the same way. I dunno, maybe I'm just too picky with some characters/combiners but they're just not grabbing me yet.Rated X wrote:Am I the only one who was expecting better alt modes ?

MakeToys. Not TFC.

But, just think...
Chromia: Is that a banana over your wheels or are you just happy to see me?
Lightspeed: That's two "bananas," sweetheart...
Chromia: Oh, my...
(I might need to be getting more sleep...)
