I was kinda disappointed with CW Superion. Between distribution woes leaving me with an incomplete combiner, the difficulty of sourcing Slingshot (sorry Alpha Bravo) and the need to spend extra dough on non-awful hands and feet, he really bummed me out. Also, whilst Silverbolt is a fantastic toy, I'm actually a little disappointed with the individual Aerialbots (though I will say I'm planning on grabbing two extra Skydives and making them into Seekers with some Shapeways magic).
Now I could buy the UW set and some PE white hands and feet, but then I'm left with a spare Silverbolt, which isn't ideal. Also I still need to get the hands and feet, which kinda sucks.
I hear Maketoys is doing a Superion, but that's just rumours at the moment, so we'll have to wait and see with regards to that. If they do I might go all-in...but again I then have a spare Silverbolt.
Now Uranos is 4/5ths of a great set. The individual limb-bots are superb (from what I've seen anyway) with great jet modes, nice robot modes and solid limb modes. However, their Silverbolt is an unholy mess, and the combined mode is a tad...sucky.
However, I may have worked out the solution. My good friend GlauG is planning on making some TFC-to-CW adapters- a combination of TFC limb-bots with CW Silverbolt could make for a very good looking Superion, and a damn fine set of Aerialbots. Also it would give Superion a height boost compared to his fellow Combiners, and would make the Aerialbots a little bit more in scale with deluxe cars.
So anyway, enough waffling. What do I do?
1: Break down and buy the UW set + PE parts?
2: Wait for Maketoys to make theirs?
3: Wait for GlauG to make his adapters, track down some TFC Aerialbots and make a hybrid Superion?

Can CW Silverbolt support the limbs?
