I haven't picked up Barricade, so I dunno what that's like, but I agree about the backpack not closing right.

Barricade was just fine.

I cry.

At least yours didn't break when you went combiner...

Mine did. Snapped the surface the new head is attached to clean off the hinge. It goes back, but will never stay 'on' again. Damn plastic.

is a lot of force placed on that part?

Not particularly no. I have old G1 pieces with GPS that I have put more pressure on and they are still in tact.

I guess I'll buy another one from the freakin' club...I see they have him in the store.

I STILL havent gotten mine.
Have any Canadians gotten theirs yet?

not yet.

I got mine about a week and a half ago. I actually like the new gesalt head mold. And I appreciate the fact that the club did make a point of using 5 different gesalt pieces to do this combiner. And the arrangement of how I did the limbs makes the gesalt very stable standing up and gives him at least one real looking hand. I accidentally let my membership run out. But I will be renewing it soon so I can enjoy the club magazine/comic, get the Classics Punch/Counterpunch that is planned as the next free club figure and for the lower price on next year's Botcon set provided I like it.

I am fairly certain that Punch/Counterpunch is NOT the next free toy. He will be a pay figure, like Astrotrain, Airrazor and Nightbeat.

That's weird. I'm pretty sure the club panel at Botcon stated the next free figure was Counterpunch/Punch. I'll have to look thru the news stories again.

I'm pretty sure they mentioned that the next club figure would be Punch/Counterpunch. I'm sure they're already scheming on their next free set of figs.

Indeed, looking thru the various messages from Botcon, Punch/CP will be a special for club members to buy, as it seems they purposely did not mention what the 2010 freebie will be.

I'm still hoping for Shattered Glass Earth Soundwave.

Has anybody in the UK received their Heatwave yet. Mine hasn't yet.

Can any scan and post their instructions for how the combiners combine? I lost mine and am having trouble figuring out Heatwave.
Thanks.

Got mine on Friday, so should be any time now.

No membership/bio card like the one that was packed in with Topspin last year though, anybody else get one of those or did they just not bother with it this year?

I have a membership/bio card for Heatwave, cant for the life of me find it, but it did come included in the box with him.

What are you having trouble with?

Overall he's pretty simple.
Perhaps the chest/truck cab is the only troublesome bit.

Here's Energon Barriade's sheet to hold you over until someone scans Heatwave's sheet.

Just nipped down to the kitchen to double check the box and it had slipped behind one of the side flaps. Luckily it was a garden waste collection rather than recycling/residual waste this week.

Huzzah!
It really should have been in the bag with him. I was lucky enough that mine stuck to the tape that was used to seal the box, basically pinning it against the side.

So I finally assembled this guy with the planes as arms and tank and copter as legs. I dig it. I wish the purple was more like a vibrant blue but all in all, he looks nice. The yellow eyes are a touch out of place though...

I got mine on Friday. Shouldn't be much longer.


I love my Nexus Maximus.

Mine turned up this week, bit of a surprise considering i'd actually forgotten about him.

I mean you know ... international and all, these things tend to take forever to arrive from the club.
