I still think Computron looks like he's got a block of cheese stuck onto his leg via Nosecone.


I'm glad folks are happy with this set, but it doesn't interest me at all except for the hands/feet.


I was going to say something else but I completely forget now.

[Optimizzy]

those hands and feet make me want to get this one too...I wish hasbro would just produce these feet as an add on.

[steals_your_goats]

As the technobots and Computron they don't look that great. As aspiring technobots and Betatron they look pretty great. Takaras Computron will be my actual Computron while this guy is a completely new team who work as a "B" team when necessary.

Makes me wonder why Liokaiser doesn't also have those hands and feet.

They may have blown the alotted budget on new heads, lucsious paint apps, the additional guns, and the arms micron

If they had just given Computron a new head, I'd have gotten the Hasbro version. It has a lot going for it, but the head just doesn't work.

Yeah, I'd have taken a new head over new hands on him any day

>Feet have no forwards/backwards tilt
>Feet are mostly hollow, possibly meaning balance issues
>Hands have no articulation at all
>Hands and feet have nothing to do whatsoever outside of combined mode short of forming some very awkward panniers for Afterburner
>General cheapness across the board
>The sheer unrestrained mess that is Lightspeed

It's like everything wrong with Combiner Wars coalesced into one set. I might have bought Strafe and Scrounge if they were available separately, but they're not, so I won't.

But aren't those hands and feet from the Victorion set. The molds are already done, how much could it tax the budget?

Nope, the one's in the Computron set are brand new molds, they just have similar functionality

[Noideaforaname]

I kinda just want the tiny little spaceship guy, mostly because I want Sky Lynx and Cosmos to be able to dual-wield mini-shuttle guns.

I don't know why but I want Computron. If I get a set, it'll be uncle Hassy's. I may hold out for a sale though....

Well hey, they are all good figures - aside from, ahem, a certain tank mold - and the combined form is still fine and solid and the extras are fantastic. The only thing really wrong with it is that it's not so much Computron as it is a sort of cool-looking Combiner with Computron's colours and Superion's face.

The sad thing is if they would've gone for the Superion without the faceplate they could of passed it as Computron.

I'm not entirely sure if going from Superion to Galvatron is an improvement...

[Grahf_]

Wow, that kinda sucks that Strafe doesn't have the double barrelled blaster to hold while in robot mode. Especially with his alt mode cannons not being removable and the new hands and feet not becoming weapons. Not a deal breaker though.

I was talking about from the very beginning going for a toy-accurate head like this

could have passed as Computron's head too.

I really wish I liked this Computron set.
Having two different Computrons would be really cool.
Problem being this version just isn't that good. Even with the extras.
I don't care for any of the individual bots, and in the combined form, the head and large fuchsia chest are enough for me to pass.
Then the combo of fuchsia, regular red, and dark red-violet of the torso...
Imo, that looks absolutely horrible.
Also, after seeing the combined image again (it's been a while), that is a lot of yellow-orange on brawlcone. I'll admit this may be nit-picky, but that stands out too much to me.
So I could probably get past not liking the individuals because I'd keep them combined most of the time.
But much as I've tried, I can't find anything to like about the differences between Hasbro's Comp and the UW version.
I don't see buying this even if it goes on a huge sale.

I noticed that too this time. It really clashes.

Nope, the one's in the Computron set are brand new molds, they just have similar functionality

Does that similarity extend to someone being able to carry the kibble like Pyra Magna does for Victorion? It doesn't seem like it, but I've missed things before.

Yep, that'd be me missing something.
