That Shockwave custom is amazing!
Anybody wanna field a guess as to who the limbs are supposed to be?
I have no clue, but some of the colors are cool.

They're Runabout, Runamuck, Decepticharge, and Alternators Dead End (as a Shockwave-made clone of the real/regular Dead End). And the little Legends Shockwave is colored like Energon Six Shot and named "E6". All courtesy of master customizer Rob "Cheetimus Primal" Roberts.

Now we have big Groove, who's the small Groove? Same character?

News Credits: 1350 · Mon Mar 28, 2016 2:26 am

To me small groove is the real groove and the big groove is either his big brother or his super mode, haven't decided yet.

News Credits: 4 · Mon Mar 28, 2016 2:36 am

Small Groove is the Titan Master but he controls his titan Bigroove either psychically or pilots him from the inside.

Instead of G2 Streetwise, that should be Shattered Glass Streetwise!

And thus combiner wars and titans return merge into one. Well done indeed! :MAXIMAL:

Well its taken me to the end of the line but I've finally made a combiner! Half of it is defensor with skydive and fireflight for legs and AB as an arm; Rook is fulfilling his destiny as the other arm.

Has anyone seen the CW Combaticon Limbs in the UK I have heard some saw Voyager Onslaught recently, Heck I can't even find the White Optimus Prime unless it's an Import item.

News Credits: 2 · Tue Mar 29, 2016 2:32 am

So I just picked up the Sky Reign limbs(because I have no self control...). I should have waited on Smokescreen until the word came back on if Groove would see a release in the US, since he would take Smokescreen's place under a different name (I am thinking something like Chip...). I still think I will get Groove, though. He looks like a pretty good motorcycle TF. He just won't go on Defensor since I really like Rook.

I need to get a Legends figure for Sky Reign now. It kinda sucks that most of the Autobot Legends figures don't have the ability to interact with the combiners. I like that I can give Bombshell to Bruticus instead of Shockwave. Wreck-Gar doesn't really count since he doesn't actually do anything for Sky Reign. I want another Autobot Legends figure that turns into a weapon.

Wreck Gar can attach to Sky Reign's Backside.

Kinda, sorta. He clearly wasn't designed to do it, people just found a way to make it happen. He becomes a jetpack (giving purpose to the thrusters on the back of Groove's vehicle mode. I suppose it works well enough for me.

Onslaught's the only Combaticon spotted in the UK so far to my knowledge, unless you count Shockwave on The Entertainer's website. About two weeks ago, I found a solitary white Prime in Smyth's, at full price.

To those of you who bought the G2 sets of Menasor and Superion, are you happy with them? Were they worth it? I really like the color schemes for both of them but I'm worried they might suffer from poor QC.

I have both g2 sets and I like them a lot. I will say that certain things don't tab in properly like sky dives shoulders and wild riders combiner port is a bitch to get out for some reason but other than that everything is solid. Quite a bit tighter than the regular versions so that's a plus and the decos are amazing, very few blemishes if there's any at all.

I was really happy with Superion. Just as great as the original. There are some issues with Menasor. The joints for my Breakdown's knees were super tight (thought I was going to break something and one was stuck at a weird angle). 3 of the 4 deluxe weapons are painted, but no adjustment in tolerance anywhere. Breakdown's HFG is painted to match the others. Other people have complained about Blackjack being even lose as a chest piece, but mine is fine.

I love the decos, nice paint apps all around, but some of the paint apps conflict with tolerances.

I had the exact same problem with my Wildrider. I had to poke something through the hole in his back to push out the port.

It's getting looser the more I transform it but It's still tighter than normal. Did your firefly have a "soft" combiner port? Like It's not loose but the ratchet itself isn't as strong?

I'll have to check when I get home. I think I remember that on one of the pegs

Now that I think about it, it might not have been firefly but one of them definitely have a softer ratchet.

Fireflight has a slightly softer ratchet, but nothing that seems to impact the limb mode. And considering I'm taking these two big ugliest to work to sit on my desk and fumble with during conference calls, I like the softer ratchet.

Down at Batemens Bay, I live in Australia. Picked up Chop Shop for $19 AUS.

The same probably goes for Generations Skrapnel, as they use the same mold.

His plastic feels very flimsy and the transformation isn't very pleasant. There isn't much room for anything (especially the head) and there's just some parts I think they could've done much better on.

Should've gotten Rodimus instead, oh well I'll get him tomorrow.
