very much so

If that's the case it explains a lot and why I only got RiD, AoE, and empty shelves here. Also why I haven't gotten my Megatron yet.

Hope that gets resolved soon. Otherwise I need an actual fusion cannon.

The new Cyclonus does look nice, and being all in for Generations, I'll get it, but he's not going to replace my Deluxe Cyclonus. Still, Final judgement is always reserved for when i get it in hand

I was just at a function talking to a friend who works in logistics. He showed me an aerial photo of a port in California. I twas a freighter parking lot. Looked like that shot from the movie Troy, when the fleet of ships is coming in.
I swear, if you looked real close you could see a ship marked Combiner Wars. :lol:

Sure, the individual bot modes of the constructicons are a bit herpaderp. However, that Devastator is way too awesoemfor me to care. Also, 150$ for Hasbro is defenitely better than 400$ for Herc.

I am using that same point for getting Leader Ultra Magnus over the MP.

Envision HasTak repurposing CW Groove for a CW Afterburner for Computron.

Think if anyone does your idea, It might be TFCC.

So... who thinks that either TFSS 4.0 or the Botcon 2016 box set will be a combiner?

Think if anyone gets a new toy for the CW Combaticons. It's going to be Blastoff. As that's a space shuttle. Doubt fans would be happy that CW Blastoff is a repurposed Aerialbot jet or helicopter.

Think a CW Bruticus can get away with the other Four Combaticons being repurposed toys.
CW Hotspot seems like it was made to be repurposed into Onslaught. CW Alpha Bravo already has Vortex's head, So that's a easy repurpose. It seems like the CW First aid toy fits Swindle more than it does first aid. Brawl might be hard but maybe a repurposed CW rook will do the job. Suppose if HasTak creates a new toy for CW Nosecone than that could be repurposed for CW Brawl.

Might as well also do a CW Computron speculation of repurposed CW toys. CW Scattershot, a Heavily repurposed toy using Silverbolt. CW lightspeed, a repurosed Deadend or Breakdown. CW Afterburner a Repurposed Groove, CW Strafe, A repurposed Firefly. CW Nosecone, A repurposed Rook or Brawl if it gets a new toy. 6th member, Maybe Rook if HasTak creates a new toy for CW Brawl.

Would it have killed Hasbro's designers to give him frikkin' elbows?!

Would it have killed the designers? No. Would it have made Devestator unstable? There's a good chance ... considering the arms are used as heels.

Like I said, when it came to designing their primary goal would have been Devestator. The individual robots would have been secondary, hence so many sacrifices for the greater good.

Agree with Burn as this was my Speculation as well.

Nobody answered my question, Regarding Longhaul having bending knees or not. Please if anyone knows, I'd appreciate the answer.

Think TFC Hercules cost over $500. If you also wanted the add on sets, Then it was almost $700.

That was my guess as well. I'd also pay for something like this from a 3rd party.

It sure seems like it. I'd say yes.

This is frustrating on so many levels. Their should be a law against doing this. No entity should have this type of power to cripple the American economy.

Voyager Cyclonus has the most show-accurate G1 Cyclonus altmode we've ever gotten, moreso even than the Universe Deluxe mold's:

Yeah, but from the side or underneath, it's still a bot carrying a jet on his back.

Just like a slag-ton of other TF jets.

He's upholding a time-long tradition.

Plus, Universe Cyclonus still wins on robot mode accuracy.

Display one in each mode.

Quite literally, if the rumors are to be believed for a Galvatronus combiner...

I like CW Cyclonus, but I think I'll stick with my KFC Tempest. He's as G1 as you can get. Although, the CW one might be bigger, or at least as big as UT's Mania King, so I might end up with him after all.

Think the 1986 toy was also a bot carrying a jet on his back.

Like CW Cyclonus better than 2.0 Cyclonus. Need my second in command of the Future Decepticons to be bigger than a tiny Deluxe toy. If I had my way Takara would be releasing a Masterpiece Leader class toy for G1 Cyclonus.

Think CW Cyclonus is going to scale nicely next to UT Mania King.

Was excited about this toy when I first heard about it. Then the small size killed it for me. HasTak 2.0 Cyclonus is a Six inch tall robot mode. KFC Tempest is barely a 6.3 inch tall robot mode. Don't need to spend over $50 just to get a extra 0.3 inches more. :-(

Noticed most of the height in KFC Tempest comes from the toy having a oversized long head. Had the head been regular sized, Think 2.0 Cyclonus and Tempest would be the same robot height.

Strangely, I'm not exited at all about Barinstorm or this Cyclonus. I really don't like their heavy undercariage.
But...
For some strange reasons...
I love, LOVE my Universe ultra Silverbolt! :HEADHURTS:

I do love the alt mode for CW cyclonus, but I still want the universe one as well...I've got room for both

just hope I have the money for both.

Do people think that Bruticus may get a new member following examples shown by this years releases?

wj88, that agreement with "K" is 1st party over 3rd party. MP-UM over CW UM......get MP UM first then CW UM...believe me, you won't regret it!

I'm getting CW/UW UM too btw.
