The general consensus is that the PotP combiners are much more stable with the feet backwards since the combiners are pretty front heavy with their arms forward while the position of the peg is enough to keep them from falling back. In other words they really need more toe than heel and spinning the feet around really solves that problem nicely. Plus some people prefer color matched feet for an added bonus.

Fair enough, sorry for opening old wounds

Why are you apologizing, I just said a lot of people prefer your suggestion. :???:

2009 Scout Roll Bar can act as a TORTURE DEVICE.
Seriously, that auto-morph of his can pinch fingers HARD if one is not careful.

No way man, admit nothing, your toys, your way is right for you no matter what anyone else's opinion is. I also prefer flipping the feet around and putting the extra hands on the front for stability. I do it for all the PotP combiners except for Volcanicus because I prefer his extra hands to fill in the torso, otherwise they would be the same way.

I've often though of starting a thread for "The Transformers that hurt you" where we could compare wounds from our favorite toys. The classics seeker mold has a pinchpoint on the back when you are splitting the torso to convert the nose of the plane. Massive blood blister for a few weeks from that one.

I'm not sure I could contribute to that thread, I've plain and simply lost track of all the toys that have pinched my fingers (or fallen off a shelf onto me) at this point. Nothing as major as a blood blister, thankfully, but still, these little incidents are a semi-regular occurrence.

I'll cheat a bit and include the steampunk 3P "Starscream" Screecher. The thing is made out of LITTERAL KNIVES bound together! :shock:

Yikes. I haven't been that unfortunate. Though I did have one of the CW combiners fall off my dresser onto my head once, I think it was Defensor, but I don't remember for sure (the aforementioned combiner to he head may not have done my memory any favors).

It's possible to build larger wings for Legends God Ginrai by plugging G1 God Ginrai's wings into the back of the wings of the Legends version. In fact, almost all of G1 Ginrai's accessories can fit on the Legends version.

Also added are guns from Generations Cyber Series Jetfire, as well as the sword from Robots In Disguise Power Surge Optimus Prime.

I never realized until I watched someone's video on how to make FOC Bruticus look well-proportioned without the need of a Boosticus set.
I also never realized until now that I can fit a Titan Master in the opening crevice of CW Superion/Galvatronus's opened chest as a pilot.

It took me an embarassinlt long time to realize PotP Grimlock can be put in a proper horizontal pose instead of the "tail-dragger" position that most people gave up on once the first "Jurssic Park" hit theaters.

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:29 am

That is pretty sad, since even the G1 toy can do that:

Although, PotP Grimlock has better proportions for it because of how his robot legs were done.

A while back I took a look back at my Transmetal Terrorsaur and his very disappointing vehicle mode. Thanks to G1, Transformers Cybertron, and War for Cybertron, I came up with a vehicle mode based on the seekers Cybertronian Terajet modes.

Behold, Transmetal Terrorsaur's new and improved vehicle mode!

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Tue Dec 11, 2018 12:59 am

Nice!

Wow, it actually looks like it could have been his Cybertronian mode

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Tue Dec 11, 2018 9:41 am

Perhaps. Although it couldn't actually have been, since that isn't Terrycloth's original body.

It's totally possible to create yr own mecha with Combiner Wars + Power Of The Primes accessories. :MAXIMAL:

That's pretty impressive! You mind telling us how to make it?

News Credits: 1 · by **MechaMan Blade** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 10:10 pm

That is a really creative use of the Combiner Wars/ Titans Return accessories. Especially if you replaced the Hands/Feet of your Combiners with 3rd Party accessories such as Perfect Effects.

Thanks, fellas!!!!!!!!!! It can get pretty bonkers with these 5mm pegs and stuff... You can make movable bunny ears, create new legs, or make Primal here look like a Cyclops Waruder Petro-Rabbit. :MAXIMAL:

As to how these are formed... It just takes imagination and the spirit to create. Some of the forms you will create will be unstable, due to inconsistencies in the sizes of various 5mm pegs. However, I know you can do it! You got the touch!

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Thu Dec 13, 2018 2:23 am

You deserve an award for the phrase "Cyclops Waruder Petro Rabbit"

Yes
Though it hasn't gotten much love in some time...

*edit* It also suffers from being old and relying on photobucket :SICK:

Ohhhhh. Yeah, Photobucket. Man, what a disaster they turned out to be.

Thank you Bun-Bun for the link all the same!
