[quote="D-Maximus_Prime"][quote="Rodimus Prime"][quote="Optimum Supreme"][quote="ExciKaiser"]Playing with Magnus yesterday, I was wondering if I'm the only one afraid to break his neck on each transformation ?

Is there any reported case of breakage ?

How common did Silverbolt's combiner head breakage turn out to be? I've been trying to search for images of that specific point of breakage to show a friend but couldn't find any.

Am I also correct in assuming it's more common on the G2 version than the normal single release?

Never head of that breakage story. For all the time I owned Superion, I never had trouble.
I don't think the kid I sold it to will either.

So I'm looking for...

-Alpha Bravo and Offroad because of...reasons
-Blast Off to go with Onslaught because of...reasons
-Rook because he's cool

Anywhere online I can get them for a reasonable price?

Can we have a picture ? It's been mentionned several times but we have no view on it.

My Silverbolt is still packed away, but here are some things I found online. (I suspected that the images were hosted at Photobucket and now are not showing in a general image search. These pics came from a couple of threads over on TFW2005.)

Here's a couple pics of a Silverbolt breakage of the hinge holding Superion's head:

Thanks for the tip.

I have CW Cyclonus, UW Cyclonus, UW Scattershot and UW Silverbolt. I'll take extra care.

Well here's something out of left field. The Combiner Wars G2 Menasor box set has been spotted at Target, at full-price, no less. This is quite odd, as the set originally only saw release at online retail in 2015, and showed up in discount chains like TJMaxx and Marshalls last year, skipping big-box retailer physical locations entirely. Not only that, but this comes more than two years after the set was released. Fellow Seibertronian Cprime18 spotted the big fella at a Target in San Antonio, Texas, and below is photo proof. Has anyone else spotted and anomalous releases like this? Please let us know! And while you're at it, you can check out Seibertron's own G2 Menasor gallery right here!

Hopefully the high price will deter would-be scalpers. The Cartwheel discount... I need to get my fluffy rear over there and see if other sets will be available there. Me wants Computron!

I always did like the horns on that figure. Though I tend to wait for sales on combiners.
