And he was never a Targetmaster in Japan. It's weird.

No weirder than targetmasters like Scourge and Blur now being headmasters

It's a bit weirder really. It wasn't a line-wide gimmick.

Here's one for the owners of CW Motormaster: I was looking for a way to store his weapon(s) in Robot Mode, and found out that the Menasor waist skirt has a dual purpose:

1) In robot and vehicle mode, it serves as a lock for the back panels: the tabs there fit into the slots on the skirt
2) the backside of the skirt has an additional slot on the bottom, that's for the tabs on the gun part of the sword.

Unfortunately, neither is a secure fit. O well, appreciate the thought behind them. :)

Alternity Cliffjumper: I've just discovered that the tiny two-jointed black part above his knee joint is supposed to be collapsed in robot mode. There's a tab on the back that slots into a hole on the back of his thigh just below the thigh swivel. It looks like the hook on the front is supposed to clip into place as well but I can't get it too. Besides, it would shorten his thighs too much.

Actually, take another look at the weapons and back of the vehicle for a better option. First you can stick the sword onto the gun using the rectangular tab. Then you can simply plug the gun into one of the 2 holes on the back of the legs.

I know that, I was talking about storage in Robot Mode.

Oh, now, I get it, that is pretty cool, never saw that before either and it is only on Motormaster, not either of the primes.

Probably old news and I found Swerve's some time ago, but this seemed like a good place to share.

Haha, thanks. I wonder how many other TFs we could force into that configuration? Staks was one of my favorites as a kid. Even then I thought they looked weird. :lol:

The backs of G1 Cyclonus's thighs open up so he has #ThighGap when viewed from the front.
I've only him for 30 years so it's no surprise that I just found this out...

Here is something, well weird, about Wolfwire I discovered today after checking mine out for any signs of fatigue on the cockpit hinge. The robot chest is also a sort of trap door for the cockpit. It is blocked by the collapsed cockpit in robot mode. It isn't used in the transformation so I have no idea what it was intended for. But if you don't care about the titan masters, you can use the trap door to store the titan master in head mode (although you can also do this from the normal cockpit door too).

One explanation is that it's to facilitate transformation of the torso by allowing access to both sides: one for pulling, and one for pushing from underneath.

You can combine the main Decepticon headmaster's weapons together to form a Power Rangers-esque bazooka.

Also, even though most reviewers point it out, you can plug a set of headphones into TR Rewind

Jumpstream has a spoiler you can fold down to be her heels for better balance. Shes awesome but her hips make her tippy. Pyra Magna also has heels that flip out for better standing too. I can provide pics for either, but I am cozy where I am and wood floors are cold.

You should have stated what lines those two are. My google-fu told me they are from the Combiner Wars Victorion set. Is that right?

No need for that. What with Pyra Magna only having one toy, it is safe to assume so, yes.

I'm saying that in case of newcomers.
Also, Victorion is phasing out from stores and some may don't know she even exist.

I also like that thread because it make me discover some toys that I never knew existed. I may not be alone.

Undoubtedly been mentioned before but, for those with a G1 Trypticon, you probably won't have Full-tilt unless you shell out for the Platinum. Well, he wears CW Blackjack quite nicely and it rather suits him too!
