Huh.

Anyway, the images are of a Razorclaw from the Earth Wars game that looks suspiciously like a CW Onslaught retool

I saw that on Reddit and honestly, if they can turn onslaught from a truck into a lion I'll be perfectly fine with it. The only disappointment I'd have is that he's not a titan class, but then his rivalry with skylynx would work a bit better.

But how will the transformation work with the lion head on his chest flap?
That would require realy heavy retooling.

Did anyone figure out if there's an actual way to clip in the hand/gun thing behind Trailbreaker's head? It seems to hold pretty well if you just wedge it in there, so much so that you can lift the figure up by the accessory "attached" but it just doesn't seem right.

I don't have him in hand yet, but I've played around with Ironhide and Offroad. I think thumb extended works better. Once you get it wedged in, it holds pretty well. Offroad is currently displayed as such. As far as stressing the plastic, I haven't see that with the other two.

Fellow Seibertronian Bumblebee21 has shared an official television commercial with us via the Transformers Official YouTube account. The commercial features Sky Reign battling Bruticus.

I've been trying my hand with Ironhide as well. The only thing is that the whole fist sits much higher on my Ironhide than this pic of Trailblazer. I just got TB the otherday, but haven't opened him. I'll play with him later today.

He stands no chance against the big, bad, battlin' dude-icus.....

Wow a whole 18 seconds Thanks Hasbro. - Also Death -Looks like Hasbro hasn't changed. 15 seconds for Sky Reign & 3 for Bruticus. Loved how you parodied that in the 1985 Aerialbots/Stunticons commercial

So...does Death have any plans for Valentines Day

Me too. Impressed, actually. Bring on CW Predaking! Hopefully the Predacons will be sold separately at stores.

[o.supreme]

-From what I've seen, Hasbro provided instructions for any Legends class figures that were designed to be Torso and/or Weapons for combiners. I know there are some fan modes out there, but if Wreck-Gar didn't come with instructions, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

[Seibertron]

Is there a YouTube video showing how to do the Lynx mode for Sky Lynx?

I think they're more likely to be sold in a box set so they don't take any waves away from the other lines.

There really is no lynx mode per se as the Shuttle and cargo bay do not separate like the Original Toy did. The "Lynx" is technically when the torso is transformed for the combiner mode

Actually you can get a lynx mode



As for how to do it unfortunately I do not own the mold so I can offer no insight there.

Lynx mode looks like a mid-transformation to torso mode.

Now that he is in hand, we're seeing all kinds of crazy fan modes.

You basically spin his lower legs around, pull the lynx head out a bit, and pivot the wings into position, he's actually got a lot of moving parts/joints to make it happen. No parts-forming, or dis-assembly required

Yeah....quoting myself here.

So, I've had a chance to mess with him a bit at lunch. I noticed a couple of things. (I'll try to put this in a couple of pics, or perhaps a video.) First, Trailblazer's combiner thumb is vastly different than Ironhide and Offroad. This pic is pretty much only possible with the thumb folded in. Second, the thumb portion of the hand has to be tilted some from the knuckles/fingers, like to partially expose the weapon hole. (I hope this is clear. I'm not sure exactly how to describe this. Sort of partially transform it from being a foot to being a hand.)

Third, and this is the part that I dislike the most, it appears that the back of the "hand" is squeezed between the front tires, causing the wheels to be splayed out slightly. (I wonder if this was where some people are seeing stress marks. It sorts of sits in there snug until I touch it, then *snap* the hood goes back and the fist squeezes out.

I am not a fan of this configuration. I think I'll keep TB in truck mode in my display.

Or, alternatively, plug that fist into the arm-gun for BIG HAND MODE.

Yes, Hasbro is well known for giving short shrift to the Decepticons. They need better publicity agents.

For Valentine's Day? Oh, same as usual. Reaping souls and reviewing toys

Which toy is next? Well I posted my Combaticon figure review yesterday (shameless out-of-thread plug) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smlo4xLoQ3k

The actual Bruticus review is coming in 2 weeks. But I'll be posting a shorter review in the interim which I will only say is 'Phasmastic'.....

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I love the fan Lynx mode. I really want to make the 4-legged Lynx combined mode too, as that seems really cool and he will have a tail! I wants so bad. With luck I will order the limbs early next week, but as for the torsos for Brut and Sky, I dunno yet

[Autobot N]

Well, zmultiplier must have noticed that the half images are getting old, so he found a new way to screw with us!

By making the images really small so when you try to make them bigger, you can't see jack squat

[steals_your_goats]

Even though zooming in does nothing for seeing detail you can still see most of the colors which look really really nice.

[Stuartmaximus]

has noone got any editor or software to unblur or enhance & enlarge that picture?

Sorry guy, once an image has been shrunk all that data is lost, but how about a compromise through the power of MS Paint (500% up-size)?
