Ha ha I guess it goes to show that my opinion always is visible.

You've averaged 8.5 posts per day since you've joined and you primarily post in the Toy Discussion. That many posts in one area is going to get noticed.
*cough*spammer*cough*

But for those who wait for TT's release, I'm right there as well. I guess when you live in an area that has generally had poor distribution for the last few years you tend to get use to waiting.

[Railbomb]

Maybe an early idea for the upcoming Bludgeon

It's Armada Demolishor

Of course it is. I felt real dumb after pressing submit to see his face staring right at me in the posts that were written within the time i was done. But truth be told, I was never really into armada. I do have his toy though.

Does this mean.... an Armada Combiner????

No. No it doesn't. I think it means there's a solo demolishor.

But, but, but.... Armada.....

There aren't sweeps for galvatronus...

But Armada.....

But wasn't it Energon that had all that Powerlinx stuff? I've noticed the Armada Starscream last year and the Armada Megatron this year, but I wonder if Hasbro will ever make something for Energon and Cybertron. Or maybe the 2001 Robots in Disguise.

We did have Sky-Byte for Thrilling 30 but I would like to see more (mainly Megatron). One of the big things for Combiner Wars is just the random entries like Cyclonus. Hopefully Demolishor will have his own set of limbs because 1.LEADER OF A TEAM WITH A COOL EYEPATCH THING and 2. we need more Decepticons.

Ha, you should thank me for being interested this much in the discussions on Seibertron.com.

I get teary-eyed when I see UW Devy. I wannit so badly. I'm actually at about $150 now, so I could afford the Hasbro version, but nahhh.

Nope, but its a preorder, he can build the funds in the meantime till its release in december

[fenrir72]

soooo anyone other than me planning to get Bruticus? All if favor of getting Bruticus say "I".

Dude, you're planning on getting everything. As soon as a new figure is revealed we look at it and have two thoughts.
1 - That figure is awesome (or alternatively, that figure is gonna suck)
2 - SillySpringer is going to be all over that.


But yes, I will be getting him, hopefully the TT version though.

I'm really torn because I like how Swindle, Brawl, and Onslaught look. If Takara is going to do a proper Blast Off I don't want to double dip, but I'd hate to have to wait for those molds.

Go the Jedi route chuck! Patience the way of the farce

[ThunderThruster]

Those are all valid points but views have been down across the board this whole year so fiscally it may not be in my best interest to import just for reviews sake. Right now it's all speculation, patience is key.

Sorry to hear that. Well, you could always just buy it for yourself then. That's what I'm doing

Oh yeah that's what I'm doing, IF we get a proper blast off

I am pretty sure the concept art/design confirmed that for us. I no longer see this as an if.

Hate to burst bubbles, but it's a sketch, the only thing that it confirms is that they're looking at it, it in no way confirms that the UW version will be a shuttle.
It's be cool if it happened, especially for those that want that, but at the moment there is nothing that says it is happening.

[Stuartmaximus]

I take it the Ruination one'll be called Movor?

[RAR]

Since Takara pays little regard to the existence of IDW comics the Ultra Magnus Takara Releases is naturally a Neo-G1 one version regardless of what Hasbro designed it as in the 1st place that is how Takara has chosen to position it just as they have with Hoist & 'Trailbreaker'.

They seem to either not mention it it or come up with elaborate excuses for the likes of Windblade & Chromia but from whatever they come up with the answer isn't IDW.

From Takara's point of view the Current "Legends" line is just a rebranded continuation of Henkei & United.

Aside from the obvious newbies like Windblade they usually just slot in things where ever into a over arching Neo-G1 Milieu.

Personally I appreciate having the choice of which Springer I'm being sold the likeable one in the 1980's Movie or a representation of the IDW version who isn't as likeable of a being in my view.

Besides when it comes to Making the Japanese Ultra Magnus doubly not-dead this is a good thing as he's now not dead in Japanese Neo-G1 & Neo-G2 as well. Not to mention that a mini-Alpha-T is a fun thing to have too.

Saw Mirage, Ironhide, and Prowl at a local store yesterday, and after close examination, the head sculpts are not as good as what I initially thought.
For me, best CW head sculpt awards go to the Constructicons.

Good morning G2 fans! Remember the upcoming Transformers Combiner Wars G2 Superion you've been seeing all over the news? Well now we have some pics of him out of box, and side by side with the original G1 inspired release. Have a look at the drastic differences (aside from Firefly/Fireflight) in the images mirrored below courtesy of Daimchoc and Wal Ken G. Siocs from Facebook. And remember to stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

[Rodimus Prime]

Makes me want that G2 Superion even more. And the G2 Menasor to go with him. Those 3P feet look oversized.

Also, if (big if) there will be a Combiner Wars Predaking, do you guys think they will be kept in scale with the already released figures, or will they go the G1 route and make the Predacons larger than the current figures? G1 Predaking scales very well with the CW figures, and I'm tempted to pick up a G1 Predaking to go with them, but not if the (possible) updated version will remain the same size.

[megatronus]

Nice, he already has the PE feet!

[jaws]

Not a big fan of this set. Firefly is pretty much unchanged, Slingshot looks hideous gold,Skydive looks decent, Silverbolt okay, prefer Air Raid black.

In another comment someone mentioned how big the PE feet are but they really add to the figures. Of my 5 combiners, Galvatronus is the only one without the PE feet, the Hasbro version look so small.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

**** I don't have the Arielbots yet. I like the classic colors better.

[albnok]

I'm getting Combiner Wars G2 Aerialbots because my first ever combiner was the original G2 Aerialbots. I love how they have the colors spot on to their G2 originals.

[Shuttershock]

Is it just me or do Skydive and Air Raid look like Topspin and Twin Twist?

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Ha yeah right a bit yes.

[Mkall]

Can't wait to have this guy, though I see that Powerglide seems to be a matte grey rather than silver? That's a bummer.

[RiddlerJ]

Wait, they can milk another repaint out of those molds:

Movie characters combiner.

Streetwise mold - Barricade
Rook mold - Wreckage
Offroad mold - Dropkick
Alpha Bravo Mold - Blackout
Hotspot mold - Sentinel Prime
or
Optimus Prime mold - Galvatron

[fenrir72]

TT, I forsee a mass release for Guardcity

I pity Slingshot.......gold plastic again? Goodbye Slingshot.......in 5 years or so

Or:

instead of Sentinel Prime/Galvatron and Dropkick.

has gold plastic technology improved over the years?
a little risky using it, if it still has the same issues

Well, considering this guy was able to pose Slingshot for pictures..................maybe?
