So, it's been about a year, and my wave 1 cw figs are starting to degrade

The shoulder ball joint on my dragstrip is so stiff for some reason his arm cannot move, and the bit of plastic between the ball and the collar joint is soft enough, the force used to move his arm now is twisting it and already has tears in the plastic

The same thing happened to my firefly's cockpit, the plastic is so thin near the nose cone, that the screw tore the plastic to pieces and stripped the screw-hole of the threads

My quickslinger came with a horribly warped tailfin and I had to tear off the pointy thing below the tailfin

The hand/foot of dead-end and neck-brace are miss-measured and have stress marks all over the palms and can't hold anything, and stripped the paint off of menasors' sword

My 2 magnus' had failed legs

Between all of this, and the horror stories of others (from stress marks all over the silverbolt and cyclonus mold, to the breakage of the neck plate of silver/clonus, to the various breakages of devs, etc.), the weak underpainted re-decos, the lack of interesting combiners on the overall, I can honestly say this line was actually kind of a scam joke; can't honestly imagine the tw line will be any better

Try playing with them more often so the joints don't stick together.

Only fixes one of the issues, but I agree, he's been combined for most of that year. But now the damage's done; shame they couldn't have used better plastic; it felt weird when I got them, but I didn't care because combiners, but now I'm paying for it

Dragstrip is the only CW figure I have, and I must say that the shoulder pieces feel like they probably are ABS plastic, which is the same plastic used for 3D printers. It even has a bit of a "3D printed look" to it. The same thing with the crotch section and hip sections of the legs.

Yeah, Mirage's feel fine - like they're molded out of a different plastic

And they said CW would "defeat" Third Parties.

He's pretty great, nice colors, better plastics, and a cool silver hand/foot

I only want to get him if I am doing a haul, since I already have the mold, and want new figures with it. :\ Maybe I'll get BC OP with some other limbs and Mirage. I do love the silver hands/feet. It would be nice to get a complete combiner.

[william-james88]

I can't help but wonder if Defensor and Bruticus will get the same treatment

Hasbro has fulfilled at least one of your wishes:

TW? As in Toy World, the third party company? You preffer their line of combiners?

You don't have to get bc/op, you can stick them onto sky lynx - if you're getting him, or you can swap them onto silverbolt, or scatternot, but bc/op does have nice colors and fixed thighs

Didn't know if the 'titan wars returns rises thing' line had an official name; didn't 'wars' get changed to 'returns' and then changed back or something?

I am just messing with you. The official name is Titans Return.

Well, I knew you were messing with me, but I really thought the name was up in the air, guess not

[Stuartmaximus]

Anyone got a definite date on Sky Lynx? i know it's Jan/Feb sometime!

I could always get CW Cyclonus and then get my 4 most wanted deluxes.

Dude, do that. Cyclo/tron is awesome So long as you don't mind mixing you're factions, he's the way to go

Great! I may do that! Thanks for the advice! I would love to have Cyclonus anyhow with Titans Return Galvatron.

If you want good limbs I suggest you get (to go with your dragstrip):

Prowl
First Aid
Blades

I second this SS. If you could only have one combiner set, and are willing to let your imagination run wild, definitely do this.

I'll have a daddy Galva and a baby Galva! I wonder if Galvatron would make a bad dad.

Thanks Cobo and William! I have been contemplating this for a while, and this will make it a LOT easier for me to get some MPs.

[Cobotron]

Probably. Thanks to MTMTE we know he makes a terrible lover.

Edit: Sorry. I thought you wrote Cyclonus. Get your eyes checked Cobs.

Naw man, you can have Galvatron using Galvatron in his cannon mode

I am sure many fembots are quite happy with his big cannon.
