Any discussion of the Botcon set should be in the actual thread. Please write your posts there from now on as everything will be moved there.

Gah! Why is it that everywhere only has onslaught for Preorder except for in a 2-pack with Scattershot, whom I'm passing on in favor of the Computron box set

Not sure I understand... the site that was referenced has Onslaught by himself, or an option to purchase with Skylynx. If you don't want Scattershot, I would think this would be the best scenario?

I can find Onslaught by himself, but he's up for preorder, not in stock. the 2-packs with Scattershot are in stock orders. I'm trying to find an Onslaught for sale by himself in stock, that's the reason for the post since I scored the limbs and want the torso but can't buy him this instant

They're showing up in stores as well. I found a bunch of them at Walmart the other day.

In case someone missed it, Bridgemagnet Toys came out with a review of G2 Superion along with reviews of the individual bots on his channel.

Enjoy!

I'll be getting the Takara Combaticons of course but my perseverance has paid off and I found a Blastoff at a local Target. :DANCE:

I can now have him as a stand alone figure and return the one I got at TRU that cost me just over $20! :VEHI:

Like I said, I think the Hasbro version of Blastoff looks better than the UW version. The only thing I think they should've done instead though is used Fireflight's head instead of Quickslinger's since it works better for Blastoff.

thanks

& obviously a lot sooner than Optibotimus's review(which'll probably be 6 months from now....or so) of it, as well as Peaugh's

No problem!

Oh btw I personally still like Optibotimus and am not mad at him for what a lot of people are mad at him about right now. Yes he did a couple stupid things, but I know where he's coming from. Just sayin.

Anyhow I am actually loving the look of this G2 Superion, and am actually really wanting to just forget about some other combiners like Defensor to get this guy, since I do not have the original CW Arielbots. I may only be able to get 2 normal CW combiners but this guy is definitely high on my list if picks.

It's kinda a long story but basically he pranked his fans and told them they'd have to pay to see his Transformers reviews from now on, and a few other things that made his fans mad. Go to johngarringerful's channel to see the details. Anyhow is this forum about Optibotimus or Combiner Wars? I forgot.

Geeze oh man, still can't believe people took that literally. Humans always fail me.

And don't give up on some of the other combiners Silly. they are all still really good. Defensor remains my favorite, so don't count him out. Rook is also my favorite mold of the entire line, so check it out!

There is a difference between not wanting all of the figures, and not being able to afford them. I just cannot afford them. I only get the ones that actually stick out to me. Devastator was always my favorite combiner and I want the best version, and the G2 Superion deco just looks way to amazing on the CW Superion molds. I have been wanting to get Superion, and this is a perfect way for me to do just that.

Edit: Unlike how a lot of TF collectors seem to act, I think more about my TF purchases. If it is a choice between getting all of the CW combiners, or getting the TR Fort Max and other TR figures, I always want to think carefully. I hate to sell figures.

Believe me kid I know. I have only had a consistent job for 2 years now, so I wasn't really able to get all I wanted for a while. But I'm still telling ya to at least look out for Rook or any protectobot. They are all worth your time, limited budget as it comes. Plus: you can always make your custom combiner. no need to stay with the teams

I can second that. I however am wanting to get the Swindle version. Maybe I'll get only one deluxe from a team? When I have two deluxes with matching hand pieces I usually wanna get at least two more that have matching colored feet, but if ALL of the hands and feet are random colors than that might work... hmm. Dragstrip means purple, Swindle would have grey, a protectobot would have black, and an Ark Bot would have silver. I probably wouldn't get any Arielbot limbs until I hopefully get G2 Superion, but that's a whole nother story.

I know what it's like silly springer, I only have four deluxes from CW and no torsos

money has not been kind to my family with one bill after the next requiring our attention. Luckily I own the best two deluxes from the line, Alpha Bravo and Rook.

I am totally on board calling that Alpha Bravo mold one of the best. I have a question for you guys though, doesnt it make such a better leg than arm? I love how the rotors look in leg mode, it just seems like such an organized and stable limb that way.

Yeah, he rocks in leg mode, the arm mode always felt so cluttered with his arms and floppy rotor assembly crowding up his upper arm

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 11:34 am

See I love the idea of using the rotor blades as a weapon when he's an arm but I do think he looks best as a leg (due to the blades not working well in practice) in my head cannon I would call that combination tornado kick

Yes I like to assign specific combinations like that names, just like in the Japanese fiction (and like other giant robot anime)

I bend the arms up and put the ends of the rotors into the fists. It captures them nicely.

well i have Superion & Defensor(standard CW ones! not with Quickslinger, Air Raid & Deluxe Groove), i've also got Wave 4 deluxe's! but no sign of Battle Core!(in physical stores) so i just put them with Standard CW Prime! i've also got Cyclonus, but no deluxes that go with him(or at least the ones that are SUPPOSED to go with him).

as for Combaticons....i dunno if Argos have those in yet?(even though they're pictured within the catalogue) so far i haven't seen/heard/read anyone doing a customer viewing on those yet.
