Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

From everything I've seen brawls torso isn't as bad as everyone's making it out to be. But at any rate it looks like they already messed around with the torso

Because that torso turns into a bird kaiju, just as Deathsaurus is. And its what the rumours have said so far.
Sky Lynx is a "Dinobird", of sorts, akin to a winged Apatosaurus with a bird-like head and a... tailfin... thing(?) on its tail.
The 80's were weird.

It isnt in a wave. This seems to be a boxset. Computron is confirmed as a boxset. There is no CW wave after Sky Reign.
But why should they release Scattorshot solo and then within a boxset? I know they want to make money and milk thw cow until it stops giving some but that would be too cheap.
Oh THAT's what makes them too cheap?! Not the fact that in the two combiners revealed today, making it 10 toys, there is only 1 mold that is new?!
And anyways, Hasbro already hinted they would be releasing scattershot twice. Once as betatron and another as computron. And we know computron is a boxset due to the computer listing.
So if you think its too cheap, then sorry, but I guess it is.
To add to it, 3 of the 10 are of the Air Raid mold, while another 3 of the 10are of the Brawl mold

One is actually sky dive, which I know is a remold of air raid but still.

I will be happy if they bring out Liokaiser as an extensive retool of Skylynx i just don't want another Silverbolt as i already have both Silverbolt and Cyclonus

That's not a Hasbro image. That's from Allspark.com's March Mayhem event that that site did last year.

Yeah, that's the pseudo-fix where you pivot his pelvis forward more, only, one the current Brawl mold, it reveals the serial number and other numbers; Optibotimus did something like that in his brawl video.

Well, it was in the art, so, figured people would assume that it was already a done deal, but I get it.

Believe it or not, some people still think or fear that Sky Lynx is yet another use of the Silverbolt mold, heavily retooled.

It's NICE but it's not the Liokaiser we really want. This presents both a substandard Liokaiser and substandard Deathsaurus. Not a win for the Victory homages. Computron is better, by some margin.

Guys, I know it's hard to believe, but my Brawl's waste stays together in the designed position. I was listening to the latest Twincast last night, and ScottyP even confirmed that his does as well. He stated that he had to shake the **** out of it for it to come loose. I haven't bothered shaking mine because, well, why ruin a good thing? There is enough friction on the long tab and the slot it presses into to stick.
This is what I think the situation is. Those parts that serve that function are very thin and narrow. I could see how they could easily be miss molded. I think the problem molds are factory flukes. Which makes this suckier because that means buying Brawl is a crap shoot.
Now mind you, I'm not saying this design was a good one, or that the engineering coulda/shoulda been done differently. I'm just saying mine works.
