I dunno, if someone made a replacement Silverbolt I'd buy the other 4 guys, but as he is I just don't dig it.
Also not sure what you mean by "hasbroish". Seeing as the Transformers are Hasbro's (and Takara's) creations, technically anything that looks like a Transformer looks "Hasbrosih".

Yea. But at this point, it is almost a trait of the character.

It was 1985. We didn't have the same technology we have now. He had that kibble out of necessity, not because it looked good.
We could easily make an SR-71 Transformer who didn't have a huge amount of kibble and still looked good/turned into a combiner torso. You could probably do it with a Concorde, although seeing as a Concorde is completely out of scale with the others and is a commercial plane on a military jet team, I think it's for the best that they changed him into an SR-71.

Im one of those guys who doesn’t want to loose the G1 aesthetic. Like I said before, you can have a kibble free, but the robot mode will be of a totally different aesthetic that seems more Gobot than G1 transformer. It can be passed off as Movie aesthetic easily. It’s been done at least a couple times. But you just cant achieve the G1 aesthetic without the kibble. And throw the combiner torso into the mix, achieving G1 aesthetic without the kibble would ne impossible.

from the sounds of it, you have a strong connection to superion. and if thats the case, you should start considering having two superions. one to display combined and one as separate bots. that way you can have two completely different superions (say combiner wars and uranos) and choose which looks best for each type of display.
or you could just wait. since every 3P seems to be doing combiners, we should have a couple more superions to choose from in the next year or so.
shajaki wrote:i getcha. looks like your best bet is patience. id hold out for the next 3P superion. im really hoping maketoys tackles superion, though i think their next combiner is defensor so it might be a while. but MT is where im camping
my apologies if its been answered already, but what were your thoughts on combiner wars superion and more specifically silverbolt?
