And, maybe an odd question, but does HLJ usually have better prices than these guys? I've had good business with them.

From what I've seen and heard, the CW line is already a success.
I'm sure lots of people here can remember years ago when panel members mentioned at Botcon (back in '07 or '08)
that combiners were on hold "until they could do them right".
G1 show accurate paint apps are pretty important for me personally, but if Hasbro's versions were the only options, I still wouldn't complain.
I mean, almost all of the new head sculpts are incredible...
In fact, I have no issues with having preordered the Hasbro Devastator.
I'm not even sure I'll get the PE arms add-on set...
The more I've thought about it, the more I think that set will be combined most of the time.
For now I'll only be getting the other add-on set for the hands and vehicle attachments.
Best post I heard regarding UW. If only all were like you.
Heheh...
Please believe I'm not the "everything's-great-don't-bother-thinking" type.
But thanks.
I just haven't been this excited about Hasbro TF figures for a long, long time.
And they are pretty ding-dang awesome.

Also, that picture of the aerialbots having some energon for bbq is not a litograph, it is he backof the instruction booklet.

they actually do have pegs to lock in. if you rotate the shoulders up, and fold the arms straight down their back, the cutout in their forearms will match the shape of the canopy kibble, and on their back are 2 little tabs they can grab with their fist holes. granted they dont grab the tabs fantastically securely, but it was very obviously designed for that configuration.
I dont have any pics on hand, but it looks pretty solid.

No coin I'm afraid wj88. Mine's from amiami as well. Btw, you can also try this combo:
1. Fireflight and Slingshot arms
2. Skydive and Air Raid legs.
ala Scramble City of old Studio Ox.

I got UW Superions via TFSource, and they didn't come with coins either.
By the way, Billy-J, how are you liking the "whites" on your UW Superion? Looks like all the hands and feet were molded from the same white plastic as Silverbolt, which itself is a whiter (less creamy/off white) shade that the Hasbro version. All the other limbs seem to share the same shade of white, so while you don't have the uniformity you wanted, at least the hands and feet match the torso, so there is some symmetry to the layout, which is pleasing to me.
The ONE gripe I have is that they didn't make Sky Dive's blaster WHITE. Air Raid has the same blaster, and it's white. Fireflight's and Slingshot's guns are both white. Why this one difference? It's the same problem with the Hasbro version too, though instead, Air Raid is the odd one out, as Fireglight and Quickslinger/Alpha Bravo have black guns matching Sky Dive's. It's not so much of a problem, except that you're supposed to store the blasters (the double-barreled ones, at least) on Superion's thighs, but it creates a color mismatch. Odd choice, Takara.

Powered Convoy wrote:The gun is tied to the plastic on the figure. That's why Air Raid's is always white and Skydive's is always black. Air Raid's is likely tied to either his legs or his chest center, same goes for Skydive. As they share those parts between them and they match the respective figure's weapon.
Air Raid's gun is also not the same color as Slingshot's and Fireflight's, because it's tied to the white on the figure and not the white on the hand (which is the same white as Silverbolt and not the same white used on the smaller figure's bodies).

This is the first I'm hearing about coins. I thought only MP figures have coins.

Wait what? I own those hands and feet and didnt catch that. Are they a different shade?
