This would be great if we had a ignore button to put whoever we want on so we can't see their posts.

You can do that. Add the member in question to your 'Foes' list, if I remember correctly...

hope no one did that to me, also I wonder if the higher price means better quality

Well...molten scrap seems i had a glitch

To some degree, it seems like it, more paint apps, seemingly higher parts counts...

Looks almost entirely like the last release of this set. In fact, the new member looks like it converts in the same way as Blot...

Anyway, most likely the price is going up because it's a movie toy and "inflation", "rising costs", "the year 2017 prices", whatever excuse.

But the combination STILL looks like a complete mess (unfortunately). They should have at least ADDED KIBBLE, in the form of some proper hands and feet.

I thought it looked familiar - figure 3 in that diagram is the 'sinnertwin' (aka 'Twinstrike') Beast Hunter/Abominus figure... In fact most of them are just repaints of the BH Terrorcons. Maybe they'll upsize them a bit, but otherwise I don't see the point of getting them. Should have recognized them off the bat. My face would be red if it wasn't fleshless....

I see a point; I never got Abombinus.

Hey BTW.

I am pretty sure they arent upscaled, we have already seen one of these molds used for this same line and its the same size as the rest of the legions:

[Dr Lockdown]

Now that it turns out that's not Grimlock and part of a Combiner I'm a little happier.

Still salty about the constant reuse of the ROTF Optimus. I wish they'd make a new one already. Bumblebee makes sense as his design has partially reverted, but Prime's a new bot now.

Looks kinda cool, and I might want this if Skulk has another mode (I like combiners). I could stand to see a bit more color in some places, though, and I have mixed feelings about the head. The weapon is cool, but I'm worried it'll be too much for a 3mm peg to handle.

The blot and winrazor repaints look like they have 5mm hand holes.

I think those are 3mm holes, actually, which would be consistent with the original versions of those molds.

Phase three: Wait, I always wanted Prime Predaking! Yay!

Don't we already have one of those?

I was thinking Unicron Trilogy too, but my mind went to Bruticus Maximus.

Though now I'm also seeing Retrax now, actually.

No-one else gonna point out the bit pointing to the chest saying what looks like 'Decodable Glyphs'?

I didn't think it was worth commenting on, since IIRC that's going to be a line-wide gimmick and thus its presence didn't surprise me.

But the combination STILL looks like a complete mess (unfortunately). They should have at least ADDED KIBBLE, in the form of some proper hands and feet.

Finding a way to do that, especially if you want them to not just sit off to the side in the uncombined modes, strikes me as probably being more trouble than retooling (or possibly even replacing) the limb guys would be, considering how they're designed.

[Dr Lockdown]

Oops. Typo. Meant Abombinus.

And I also meant me personally. Never picked up the Legions or the gift set.

Its grimlock, you can tell with the autobot logo and how its not the same deco, but that just means they are usig that mold twice this time in this line.

Also, for everyone wondering the price, the pricepoint for full combiners in this line was revealed to be 34.99 USD in previous listings.

I would have thought that Hasbro would have more sense than to recycle the 2nd worst combiner in franchise history. The first being Energon series Grimlock/Swoop.
I got some entertainment value out of the first version of this BH Legends farce for all of the first minute I owned it and then buyers remorse set in. I feel sorry for the parents that go out and snag one of these sets for their kids only to find that little Timmy is going to be all kinds of pissed off and frustrated within 5 minutes of getting it opened up.

Huh? They aren't re-using FoC Bruticus...

[Deadput]

Nothing is worse then Foc Fruticus


NOTHING!!!

You must not have handled energon grimlock/swoop, that thing is impossible to top, yes, I'd much rather have foc bruticus, they were that bad in combined mode

Does that even count as a Combiner though? Seems lore like a duobot to me.

All the autobots in that line were combiners, doesn't matter how, that's what they were considered, so yeah, grimlock/swoop were easily the worst.

OBJECTION!

Actually they were originally intended for the Classics line, but since they combined they were shoved in. This is why they aren't compatible with any other Combiners.

But I personally think the Energon Autobots are all a bunch of Duocons anyway.

[DeathReviews]

I see a point; I never got Abombinus.

Hey BTW.

I'm pretty sure the classics line didn't exist until the end of the Cybertron line, wherein there was a new grimlock mold...

Well Universe then, the first version. Don't know which one. They're all Generations to me.
