You know? The dark gray hands under the silver, outer parts don't actually look that bad. I kinda like them.

[Hellscream9999]

Yeah all of those were added while I was typing out my last response Not trying to be a d&ck, but it's something I wonder about a lot. If I'm being honest it just stems from my disappointment from these two sets (the '84 teams) I wish they had more decepticons, and I wish they weren't the same figures that I've passed on so many times before, so, I dunno...

I dont like owning the same mold of something (especially when it's just a redeco and not a retool). So that's why it's easy for me to ignore those two extra G1 combiners. I probably would not have bought them even if it was a Landcross homage. I would rather just own landcross.

Yeah, I'm only getting the first set for sky reign, and hound cuz that mold is epic, and I kinda regret not getting his classics figure, but it was, and still is so genericly bland

[Thadicon]

Aww man I like micromasters.

I can kind of see a military patrol homage could be made from the CW Combaticons. Maybe just with an extra member.

[ThunderThruster]

Landcross would have been an awesome combiner to get out of the current molds.

With all these Autobots repaints, I think we're in dire need of some more Decepticon combiners though

I would love to see RiD Ruination (and all its variants) out of the CW Combaticons.

[ZeroWolf]

I can see ruination happening some how as for more decepticon combiners well it depends, on the one hand bad guys never sell that we'll, look across most toy lines and bad guys are always outnumbered, just one if those things we deal with. Of course if we're lucky and in between the autobot stuff we could get nicely surprised by a new pirannacon but I reckon we'll just have to wait till new York toy fair to see that.

I think some of the problem with doing the rest of the decepticon combiners is there mould choices + fan expectation (sometimes we do make things worse for ourselves)

What if it can be unattached and used as a weapon?

Nicely done hasbro, nicely done

It takes real effort to be that bad, gotta wonder what happened there?

While I don't want/need all the variants of ruination, it would be cool to get the rid version. It would also be pretty cool to get cybertronian seacons out of the technobots (if they are actually in the pipeline) hasbro has said that we aren't getting beast combiners, but vehicular versions of the beast combiners aren't out of the question. Plus they would look awesome in their color scheme.

Obviously they're going for the Bayformer pick up truck(sort of) look, in G1 colours... while reusing the Off Road mold.

[Stuartmaximus]

I know this is a RID figure....but how come Chop Shop isn't part of the CW? after all....HE's a combiner!

[ZeroWolf]

I don't think you got the point about the picture stu...

Start counting the things that make a car a car...

And RiD Chop Shop isn't a combiner in the traditional sense, as he simply splits into 5 pieces without alternate modes. We are getting a regular G1-styled Chop Chop, a retool of Skrapnel.

Perhaps, but that doesn't keep rid'15 chopshop from being awesome and in need of a great figure

Well....first of all....Ironhide isn't a car! The G1 was a van, & the Bayformer one was a truck(pick up truck).

Here's a hint: there should be an even number of something, but instead there's only an odd number of them.

If you mean wheels....he's got 4! otherwise I'm not seeing it in that picture

Look at the picture of robot mode, you'll slap yourself when you spot it

One final hint: right leg.

Ah ok....I stand corrected! his wheel is missing, but nothing to worry about! he'll obviously have 4 for anyone deciding to get the figure.

Once you've explained something like this, the joke loses all meaning...

[Jelze Bunnycat]

A leg can only be pulled so many times...

[Stuartmaximus]

Now that could be taken out of context

[Autobot N]

Once you've explained something like this, the joke loses all meaning...

A leg can only be pulled so many times...

And when you pull it too much, the wheel comes off.



Yeah, my jokes suck.
