When RID Vehicon was at Five Below for $5 apiece, I bought 6... So sorry about that.

I'd love to see a Generations/CW version.

For all the 5-member team gestalts, I'd love to see some other non-traditional combiners. Reflector... Tidal Wave... Duobots...

No, he's a battleship, composed of 3 parts. A aircraft carrier, a hovercraft, and a tammaran of some sort. You can't have more water than that. You have it, you should know.

Tidal Wave was used as the model for "Pirates vs. Ninjas Knights" comics for BotCon 2014, with (useless) sails to make it look like a real ship.

I do have him but I never considered him water related aside from his name. His evolved form Mirage, was way more obvious to me.

I always thought his stand out component was the aircraft carrier, no mistaking that.

Agreed. It's also the component which houses his minicon with that fun elevator gimmick. It also looks damn good and more realistic than the other two which are more cybertronian in design and thus lose the water theme to me.

I was quite happy to find his minicon partner hiding in that lift since I bought him cheap based on the fact he lacked his partner.

I know the feeling, those are the best surprises we can ever hope for as TF fans.

What are you silly people rambling on about? Obviously Waver is the best waterthing-TF ever.

As part of the Multi Force from Victory, there's 5 more like him. Don't combine him with the orange and blue one (Tackle) on top... Ultimate candidate for "Top 5 Toys with Unlucky Names" :oops:

Do his stubby, fat boatlegs not appeal to you?

I also want the multi force, yes their gimmick does make for uneven proportions but they are awesome all the same.

Well I want Landcross because he is made up of individual figures which themselves can combine together to make a bunch of combinations. Part of them is Mack and Tackle which are the basis for that Platinum Astrotrain rerelease. Imagine the energon deluxes (superlink) were minibots and that aside from being able to link up in any which way with eachother, they also made a great combiner, that's why landcross is awesome and why I wish Hasbro would rerelease him.

Landcross is great. I just need Wingwaver boxed to complete the original release. Hasbro could've released him during Energon, since the Multiforce are essential powerlinxing. Or Energon bots are essentially multiforcing. Whatever.

Plus: The whole 'I'm giving birth'-thing is hilarious.

Which proves once again as far and evolved combiners are today. Seriously, we gone a looooooooong way.

To be fair combiners have always been evolving, compare liokaiser to original devestator and that's a gap of 7-8 years there (or better comparison scramble combiners as shorter time gap). I'd take multiforce over foc brutitcus any day!

True, FOC Bruticus was horrible. Had him, sold him.
