Terribull - Seems pointless without a compatible transtector/body...
Nightbeat - Seems pointless without a compatible transtector/body...
Crashbash - Seems pointless without a compatible transtector/body...
Loudmouth - Seems pointless without a compatible transtector/body...

They help 'fill out' the base mode, I like them, I'm getting the overkill (crashbash, right?) to replace skullcrunchers weird face, and really, its a nice ability: find a head you like, stick it on the body you like, G1 be d@mned, I look forward to seeing who else they release like this.


(and it's thought - on here - that their bodies will be released at a later date with different heads, so you can choose which you like best)

I think Crashbash is more analogous to Sqeezeplay's partner Lokos, depsite the Overkill vibe from his accessory vehicle.

[griftimus prime]

his counterparts are the ones that are hard to find. i found him on amazon and sunstreaker in florida in a target. the others i got on bbts for a decent deal.

[Splatterhouse]

Funny story about that figure. I was at Walmart in palmyra,pa and got CW Hotspot last weekend. He had some paint that came right off so i messaged hasbro and by this past Wednesday they sent me a replacement and it was this Optimus figure.

On the subject of the CW Sky Lynx mold and the old discussion of what the mold could be redecoed/remolded into being, I've recently thought up two more ideas in addition to the suggestions of DOTM Hatchet and the Giant Purple Griffin.

1. Beast Wars Neo Magmasaur (Magmatron's combined Tri-Fuzor beast mode)



2. Car Robots Devil Saurer (RiD Galvatron's griffin mode)

I'll give you credit for creativity, but the difference is that the previous ideas didn't have humanoid robot modes just like Sky Lynx, but your suggestions do. I'd buy the Hatchet for sure, I'd be a little iffy about the griffin, but I'd definitely not buy a Magmatron or RID Galvatron that didn't have proper bot modes and changing the combiner head doesn't count. Besides, it's not like Hasbro has repainted every Voyager they've made (BotCon doesn't count, those are afterthoughts).

They're more likely to repaint him into Trypticon if anything, at least he was a ship in the games and it's not like Hasbro has any problem giving us four legged Trypticons.

Devil Gigatron has his Devil Jet mode that Sky Lynx's shuttle mode could be modded into (even uses the same cockpit face as Devil Saurer).

As for Magmasaur, the shuttle mode could be a pre-Earth Cybertronian vehicle mode.

For both, the combiner torso mode could serve to homage each's respective robot mode (each given a new headsculpt, though).

Though notice that I didn't use the names of either's robot mode (Magmatron and Devil Gigatron) and instead referred to them by their particular quadrupedal winged beast modes' names (Magmasaur and Devil Saurer).

[Sabrblade]

To clarify a little more of what I meant, I was thinking along the lines of the Galvatronus toy. These wouldn't be toys of "Magmatron" or "Devil Gigatron" proper, but rather would be toys of "Devil Jet-to-Devil Saurer" and "Cybertronian altmode to Magmasaur", with bonus combiner torso modes that pay homage to the robot modes of Magmatron and Devil Gigatron, respecitvely, much like how the Galvatronus isn't Galvatron proper, but is instead a toy of "Cyclonus jet mode to Cyclonus robot mode" with a bonus combiner torso mode that pays homage to the robot mode of Galvatron.

In short, these would be more something along the lines of "Magmatronus" or "Devil Gigatronus", with the difference here being that the non-combiner-modes would have a closer connection to the identity of the torso mode than Cyclonus's two modes have to the Galvatronus torso mode.

Hope that make sense.

Battle core Prime is amazing. Get him

[Agamemnon]

So, I decided to double-dip to get the Motormaster with the fixed hip ratchets. I bought the set of Battle Core OP and Motormaster from BBTS. I can confirm that my new Motormaster has the fixed hips. I think some were looking for the embossed lot number on the back of the box near the bottom. This is what my Motormaster had:

52231

I hope that helps anyone looking for the big guy with the right hip ratchets.

They're more likely to repaint him into Trypticon if anything, at least he was a ship

& not just any ship! he was the Nemesis(btw some people even today believe that the Dark Energon imbued Nemesis that talked in Transformers Prime.......was Trypticon).

The Art of Prime book confirmed that the consciousness of the warship in that episode was meant to homage Trypticon's having become the Nemesis.

C'mon, man, it's just an homage, enjoy it, it's not like hasbro has ever said, this is a be-all-end-all figure, just enjoy the ride.

That being said, I don't think sky lynx is getting a repaint, b/c titan wars is starting up right after, and case assortments are already filled out: onlsaught, scattershot; sky lynx, demolisher (if he is indeed legit), and we've seen from the presentation that the titan wars voyager assortment is filled out for wave 1 (of tw)/wave 3 of next year: galvatron, not-astro train. So unless he is a much later release, we might not be getting one

But it's okay, I guess, I'm sure hasbro would've just ruined it by making it an or something dumb

Sky Lynx is badass and looking more badass everytime a picture is released. I personally love the idea of making him a combiner (though it does nothing for his ego)

He looks incredibly , but he would look as a in black and purple and gold/silver

He would look cool....

But Sky Lynx is too gorgeous and too proud to ever share a mold with a lesser being

It'd be cool if they did something like a harbinger of Unicron, that hunted and killed enemies of Unicron, him and other emissaries of Unicron like drancron, rartorata, elephorca, or shockaract, or The Fallen

Fellow Seibertronian Agamemnon decided to look into the Motormaster which came in the latest wave of Combiner Wars voyagers (alongside Battle Core Optimus) just to verify if it also had the fixed hip ratchet. He confirms that it does and gives us the embossed lot number anyone should see on the boxes containing the fixed version. The part where the number should appear has been circled below (that image just shows where it should be using an image of the box from the first release).

So, I decided to double-dip to get the Motormaster with the fixed hip ratchets. I bought the set of Battle Core OP and Motormaster from BBTS. I can confirm that my new Motormaster has the fixed hips.

I hope that helps anyone looking for the big guy with the right hip ratchets.

Check this area of the box to see if the number mentioned above is embossed.

[UltraPrimal]

Aren't they rereleasing the Optimus with the hip fix too? And if so, how do you identify it?

[Hellscream9999]

No, battle core o/p is the only one getting the fix. The case is comprised of the fixed mm and bco/p, so there's no room for the original o/p. TT's uw o/p should have the fixed thighs I assume.

That would probably be a funpub thing, and they have moved on, by next year, they will have titan returning wars' molds at their disposal...

[william-james88]

Thats the first I hear of that, if you are referring to Hasbro releases. As far as I know, the only release of that exact mold to get a fix ratchet will be the Takara version, not the Hasbro version. And the way to identify it is that it comes in a takara box set

No they aren't, there is no room in the cases as far as I know

[LOST Cybertronian]

If the embossed number begins with a 4 it was manufactured in 2014 which would be wave 2. If it begins with a 5 it was manufactured in 2015 which means the lastest wave or so I have heard.

"Prime wars" gives us combiners, headmasters, etc..... I would not rule out a Nexus some where down the tracks, especially with this Sentinel they are putting out
