Loving the battle scene Cobbes!

I see the TFs as puzzles, for play (I make up silly stories with the 4 & 6 y/o) and as meme muses.

These two dudes.

These two modes.

WINGCROSS!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate the little extra mile Uncle Hasby went to make this possible. Neat little homage to the OG toys' gimmick of combination.
But, it's really just kinda there. It's cool but kinda not that cool.
One thing that is real cool, is all the added articulation to Blackwing's wings. You can finagle them into all kinds of positions.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like slug is humping volcanicus' leg?

I still like that mode, even if it is just one connection holding them together from what I've read. They are on my want list as well but I actually want blackwing more, he owns that colour scheme.

I'm glad you were able to WINGCROSS you WINGCROSSER you

Can't wait for Blackwing!!

Will's a leg humper! [-(

That would mean he's also humping himself!! :shock:

Cram, don't be wingCROSS with me.

How so? Been a while since I've fiddled with Air Raid. I know his wings could fold completely up or down and flap front to back, is there added movement like Dreadwind?

Never managed to get air raid so I want to make sure I get a hold of blackwing

I like the sound of wing articulation! I see wings on bots almost like capes, even if it's physically not even even. :p

They are on these big ball joints which gives you some options for how and where they hang on his back.

I've always seen wings as capes as well. Ever since the OG G1 Seekers. ;)^

My legends kickback loves his cape wings, though I did have fun with prime legends cutthroat...I mean windrazor...

Even more excited about this dang figure. Unfortunate that it is a tiny tab that holds the awesomeness that is the wingcross formation together.

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:09 am

Oh HAI, Cram!

The connection to form Wingcross isn't that bad. It's a big 5mil peg, and it holds pretty well. I put him on that flight stand and he held together. ;)^

GREETINGS!!

Wow, Rippersnapper looks so much better than my G1 version of him!!

Wait..so Blackwing could become a JETWEAPON?!

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:19 am

I guess so?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:20 am

HOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!

Best idea I've had in a while ;)^

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:25 am

Is that seacons confirmed then ;-)

is anything helping screamer hold blackwing up?

Oh wait...a brilliant yet crazy idea...all you need is two more jets, one to form a hilt and another to become the top of the blade.

Took me a minuite to figure out how you got to Seacons, but I get it. Sixth member/Weapon Master mode. :lol:

And, you mean like an Armada minicon Sword?! How could we make that work? Ponder this I shall. I have to head out for a bit, but maybe the answer will come to me while I'm out. :-?

Lol I knew I should of explained :lol:

as for the star saber it's probably something of a pipe dream, or two blackwings :-?

Hmm ...

Well, I think you would need a 5 ml post long enough to attach any other jet by the combiner foot port to Blackwing'd foot port. I'll have to think if I have anything that could work. I feel like one of my little Diaclone reboot guys came with some coupler rods in 3 and 5 ml sizes. I will hunt. I'm curious to see this done.
