We're getting Krok with the TFSS this year and already have a Spinister (though a combining one next year is also nice)

Need Crankcase, Fulcrum, Misfire and Flywheels (even if his dead in fiction.) Of those guys, Fulcrum's the least likely to get a figure as he's an unknown, and turns into a bomb... unless they use one of the Arms Micron micron figures, but just a tad out of scale there.

I don't care if it isn't from G1, I want more decepticon combiners. ... I need more decepticons in my life/collection

I'm right there with you Champ. I would love a set of 4 random Decepticon repaints of limb bots just to have more scrambling options. They don't even have to be per-existing characters.

Here's an idea that's totally out dated and possibly mildly politically incorrect, but I want a Soviet themed re-paint of Rook. Red and gold with a hammer and sickle right on his fore head. Although his head sculpt is totally the American police-issue winter hat, there is something awfully Russian about it, and with the whole combiner hand boxing glove element it would be so awesomely Rocky IV!

This idea is awesome hes perfect for a russian themed con.

Darn, wish they hadn't given Galvatronus the limb-stealing power. Campy Cold-war Era Russian transformer (Onslaught repaint) should be able to absorb/coerce smaller characters to merge with him as Sovietbloc. Obviously, Rook would be converted into the heavily armored Iron-Curtain and Alpha Bravo would be forced to use his rotors to slice through enemies as War-Saw.

HA! These are awesome. Love the names! Heck even Coldwar would be a great name for his combined mode, and the combiner head would have a big birth mark tampoed on it's forehead.
Gotta throw a repaint of Skydive in there. He's the most mig looking jet. His name could be Crimson Sky or Red Dawn.

we just need a submarine mould to call Krazny Oktyabr (Red October) for the Tom Clancy fans...

I remember Krok now, but I'm not a member of TFSS. I forgot Spinister is mini Nemesis Prime's targetmaster. I'd much rather a deluxe. I would think Fulcrum would be the most unlikely as well, but would be my first choice. I just love those misfits.

OMG!! Yes those names are perfect. Once I have finished my current TF customs I might have to do an Iron-Curtain at some point.

[ZeroWolf]

To be fair wouldn't iron-curtain need a rival to go up against? Only team names I can think of at the moment is Sons of Liberty, Freedom Force...

[Autobotssuck]

Hi guys, I'm fairly new here (I mean I haven't posted on the forum yet, but I've been reading it for quite some time), and I've got a problem.

I didn't know where to post this, but being related to the Combiner Wars line, I thought I'd try in here.

The thing is, I live in Slovenia, so I was quite bummed when I heard they cancelled Wave 2 of Combiner Wars for Europe, so I went on Ebay and purchased the deluxes and Motormaster (for far too much money, even for the European TF prices).

I'm still waiting for Motormaster, but that's not the issue. The problem is, that Breakdown came missing the windshield part, and Hasbro can't ship me a replacement part because of my location.
Has anything similar happened to anyone here yet?

I spoke to Hasbro's Consumer Care and they told me they can ship a replacement if I provide a US shipping address, but the problem is that I don't know anyone in the US personally.

Would maybe anyone be willing to help me out with the problem? I know I'm a newbie and I don't know any of you guys, but you would really help me out a great deal with that, I just want my Menasor to be complete and without additional, non-serial flaws, haha.
I'd greatly appreciate it.

Those are good! How about the Allied Eagles? or the Capitalistbots. They combine to form Top Gun, or even better, combine to form Tom Cruise!!!

Ouch! Since you bought from EBay, you can try and contact the seller and ask for a refund on the account of being shipped a faulty product. Be sure to supply photo evidence. If he doesn't comply, bring in EBay and as well PayPal, and file for a seller dispute.

For next time, try and buy from one of the online stores, especially the site sponsors. They do ship worldwide, and some are actually based within Europe, and Customer Service is top notch from what I've heard.

Hasbro is essentially a no-go for such service, on the account they don't supply replacement parts and exchanges are based on luck: "Product of equal price or less", which means you don't know what figure of the same price you'll end up with.

I was thinking more along the lines of this for the soundtrack.

This would be so awesome Thadius Maximus. Please do it!

[Hellscream9999]

After much consideration, I've decided to get the first set of the '84 team. I like all the molds, all of the figures pull them off fairly well, and I still need a set of limbs for Skyreign. Will probably nab Hound, if I like the mold enough (I assume I will, as it looks spectacular). Probably a good thing that I've been collecting tf's extremely sparingly over the past couple of years, 'cuz this theme is seriously hurting my wallet (but it's a good hurt)

Just for you mate . I just got to get my grubby mitts on a Rook

[Hellscream9999]

So does anyone know what the peg and hole on the sides of Grooves legs are for? They are misaligned, so unless I didn't form the chestplate mode correctly, they are for something else. Wreck-Gar 'combines' with sky lynx, so maybe something for that?

Aside from the confirmation whether an item is official or not. They are pretty much useless (them Hasbro people online). I once posted a request for a replacement part which I even offered to pay for everything, so long as they ship it to me. What happened? Well, I started in Hasbro Australia who refered me to Hasbro Malaysia, who then kept promising the moon then NADA! At least the Australian side didn't promise me anything but referred me to Malaysia. The jerk in Malaysia kept on promising this and that until I lost interest in following up.

From now own, it's online stores of the Japanese side I request for assistance.

Served me right for trying.

lol The impact hasbro's devastator has had on the community will resonate for ages to come (or, at least until TT puts theirs up for pre-order) we need to make a this an interactive feature for the site for when news happens: the wheel of loserdom. What will the new figures spin to get?

I think they're just for adding additional weaponry, and nothing else. They should be the standard 5mm.

A good rendition of Computron might make me break my goal to stay on a tight toy budget (particularly considering the Action Toys Machine Robo stuff, the masterpiece styled Diabattles and TTC Devastator all on my horizon... )

Ah, alas poor Computron. The earlier you are the better the molds you get. The later you are, the more overused your components are

Thank you for the response. Yes, I already figured out that Hasbro is not trying to please their customers best way they can. I mean, I can hardly imagine that it costs them a fortune to ship out a replacement part, then again, since they don't send spare parts, I doubt they have them in stock, so maybe it would cost them a lot, if they would have to mold and paint every single missing piece of plastic they **** up during packaging, haha.

Anyway, I know I should've ordered the figures from an online store, but the problem is that we just found out Wave 2 was not coming to Europe a few weeks ago, and the figures were sold out at all the stores I checked out already, that's why I had to go buy off Ebay. Believe me, I wouldn't have done it if I saw another option, I hate scalpers on Ebay.
