There were 2 other G1 Drill-alt-guys in '88: Quickswitch and Snarler. They don't exactly count in the updated toy category, as TR Quickswitch's tank mode doesn't have a drill (unless one of those extra heads upgrades him), and we have yet to get any update of the self-centered borer-boar and lone G1 pig.william-james88 wrote:They come up throughout the generations. G1 alone had a Powerdasher, Twin Twist, Nosecone and Drill Horn. All those got redone in the Generations line (even multiple times for some).

He's just got such a SICK looking bot mode, and his "drill tank" mode is so evil looking with all those metal leg pieces creating an intimidating lattice. It was always one of my favorite drill mode Transformers, and certainly one of the funnest of the Transmetals line. I have a new one coming MIB with Depth Charge (from the Takara Beast Wars Metals line "vs." packs) sometime in the next few weeks.

Which Hasbro component is better than Takara's?
Oh hell yes.-Kanrabat- wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:And ugh, Combiner Wars Computron is a joke all-around.
Oh hell no!
It has three different mold choices from the Takara version, all of which compare poorly, especially with the lower amount of retooling.-Kanrabat- wrote:I have the CW Hasbro set and it's one of the best CW combiner there is. The only true joke is the drill tank. But appart that, it have it's own unique molds
I suppose, but not everybody cares about Scrounge.-Kanrabat- wrote:plus it have a bonus yellow Cosmos with a unique head.
Which ones? Hasbro Nosecone sucks, Hasbro Scattershot sucks (Not only is Scattershot's own chest not retooled from Silverbolt's, the combiner head and chestplate aren't retooled either! FFS!), Takara Lightspeed's resemblance is better in both modes (and as for toy colors, Hasbro Lightspeed has a crapton of white that the original Lightspeed never did), ditto for Takara Strafe (especially the robot mode - where's your arm wings, Hasbro Strafe?)... Really the only one who's less radically different is Afterburner, where it's just a tradeoff between which you like better: Toy colors, or new guns.-Kanrabat- wrote:Hasbro Computron have better components than the Takara United Warrior set,
Oh, I don't know about that:Bounti76 wrote:I'd agree with UW Nosecone but for two things: his alt and bot modes look nothing like the G1 toy (which I always favor)
