Galvatronus just doesn't sound right for a good guy combiner. But those are some cool names to take in to consideration :-?

On another note, since you brought up that picture Silly: I'm glad that with the rearranging Superion and Victorion are now together on a single shelf. They are a nice duo to have together

I'm used to coming up with new names for Transformers. All I need is Google (for checking name availability) and a Transformer to name.

Oh yeah they do. By the way, I haven't gotten a full CW gestalt yet, and I'm wondering which box set is probably the best to get as an only CW Gestalt?

G2 Bruticus would be a good bet. Either that, or Computron, but I can't speak for him yet. But definitely G2 Bruticus is a good option. Bruticus is a great combiner

I don't like your superion and defensor.

Why? Is it the replacement teammates? Menasor has his replacement teammate as well, he was just out of shot for those images. And I do like the replacements, so I have had no desire to go hunting the others

I don't say off road BC I like offroad. You should get a version of the groove mild its great. The only one I don't have original is menasor with off road.

Idunno. Bruticus in highlighter colors just doesn't make sense to me. I really like G2 Superion though, and am tempted to get him. I am not a huge fan of Silverbolt's concord mode though.

By the way, do you have TWO CW Silverbolts?

I'll be getting Afterburner, so that will be my version of the mold. Plus, the Rook mold is beautiful on Defensor. And I'm not a fan of the Groove mold as a leg for him.

See, I wouldn't really say G2 Superion due to the similarity of the molds. Bruticus is a much more diverse option.

and yes I do: one regular, and one upgraded with the Magnaboss stickers

I like normal Bruticus, but I don't like the G2 one. I also really like Defensor. I SO WISH that Devastator was all deluxes though. That would've been awesome. (Get on is Hasbro. PLEASE. I BEG OF THEE!) *copies the last couple sentences and posts it in the Combiner Wars thread*

Oh yeah! I forgot about that custom! :lol:

Screaming Maximal Superion.

Nah it was fun just looking around. Reminds me of being a young person and having my whole life in a single room. A little cluttered, a little chaotic but ultimately comforting with all the little nooks and crannies and artifacts of living. Good stuff ;)^

I do agree with the little bit of chaos and clutter, but hey, it's part of the fun :lol:

I feel comfortable in clutter and chaos, but my wife does not. One of the reasons I have my own room. And boy is it a den of chaos :twisted:

but I do keep it clean

Also a reason my Mom hates my room. she fears hitting something and the chaos that will ensue. Everything has its place, and she knows that, and she knows how troubling it is when I come home and stuff is moved :lol:

For the most part I'm the only one ever in or out, but my wife likes to use my floor space as temporary storage for stuff we don't have a place for yet.

I feel ya on if anything moves; some of the bots on a top shelf keep "moving". It took me a long time an several pics over the course of a month to convince myself I wasn't crazy. Once I saw a repeating pattern I realized it was just vibration from the HVAC system in the attic just above. :BANG_HEAD:

My combiners are up there now, so I periodically check them to make sure they are stable and not teetering. That would be about a 7 foot drop :shock:

My superion took a 6 foot drop a couple weeks ago with the stupid PE feet that i love/hate. he was fine. then he fell again from 3 feet and i havent fixed him yet.hes sitting in a heap on a new shelf. my room is literally chaos right now.

Thanks Cobo!

With that HTS deal, I'm looking at getting 3 Autobot limbs to go with Wheeljack so I can form Optimus Maximus or Sky Reign again. I'm trying to decide which 3 since Ironhide, Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Mirage are all available. I want to get the former 3 since I converted all of them to Maximals for Magnaboss, but I already have 2 Prowls and I want a Mirage that has 2 functioning legs.

Halp

Deluxe Groove is only $25 on Amazon, so you could get him and not have to buy Prowl again. Or worse, have to buy Sunstreaker.

But HTS has the deal of $10 off $40 or more with free shipping over $25, which fits the 3 deluxes perfectly: $42 total (they are $14 a pop), take away 10, and it's like $34 after tax for all 3 and to finish the combiner

So it's kinda like buying Ironhide and Mirage for retail price, and getting Sunstreaker for only $4?

I suppose he's worth about that much.

Basically yes.

But, which one do I not get? And should I do it is a better question

News Credits: 131 · Thu Oct 20, 2016 3:53 pm

Bring me up to speed, other than two prowls which do you own?

Off the top I'd say IH, SS, Mirage. That Sunstreaker mold works perfectly fine as a limb and looks fly as a car and dat yellow is the mustard to Ironhide's ketchup ;)^

But Prowl is a dope mold and can be repainted into any of his bros :-?

I have every combiner wars deluxe, so all of them are represented at least once. I ended up with 2 Prowls, and both of them along with Ironhide and Sunstreaker were made into Magnaboss along with an extra Silverbolt. Wheeljack is the only limb that is by himself and not part of another combiner, so I'd like 3 pals to go with him. the 4 wave 4 guys are the options, so it's a matter of which one would not end up with him. Mirage or Prowl would get the boot, but I don't have an "Autobot" Prowl though I have 2 "Maximal" Prowls

News Credits: 131 · Thu Oct 20, 2016 4:02 pm

So all dupes then? Ironhide, Prowl and Sunstreaker.

Get you a classics Mirage or is that universe? Either way that Mirage changed the way I looked at deluxes.

I was thinking the Prowl route since I do have a goo Mirage that was not converted.

And maybe I'll look for that old Mirage. I've heard he was a bit wibbly though?
