I like my UW Superion. Though he might be beaten by Computron. I have none of those molds for the limbs yet and thats my favourite torso.

Thats for the scramble city ones. My favorite though is UW Devastator

I'm gonna be the odd duck here, but because I had been imagining it since I was a kid, my favorite is Optimus with any of the Ark crew. I like the traditional guys, but I've always thought it would be fun to have our old heroes combine. After that squad I would say as a whole team Defensor and Bruticus do it for me. Just nice cohesive team designs.

But for me the best thing about the entire line is Scrambling, which makes Galvatronus and Sky Lynx really fun bots to have.

I don't blame you. The line is called Transformers after all. To appease, and evolve, you have to transform the brand. Which is good in my eyes.

Unless it's Kiss-Formers. :SICK:

My favorite is Galvatronus with some

-limbs - far and away. The best torso mold done up in evil colors'n'stuff 8-)

I was lazily looking at my shelves as I was drifting asleep last night. My constructicons were near Galvatronus and it made me wish for a neon green deluxe limb. I wouldn't even care which mold it was because it would look so good!

Any limb? For me that poses a problem as I'd only want "extra" limbs for him, and there's not enough, only "Blast Off" and Offroad whereas the Autobots have Alpha Bravo and Rook...

Cyclonus mind-controls the other characters to become Galvatronus with him, so faction isn't important. At least in the toy fiction.

Those four are the exact limbs I plan to use for my Galvatronus.

I feel Superion might be my favorite as it was the strongest showing of doing a "new" mechanic right. Each of the aerial bots (assuming alpha bravo over slingshot) had a distinctive silhouette and colors shared and popped nicely.

I wanted to really like Menasor (and short of the PE upgrade) he and the two primes are kind of a hot mess... which isn't fair because I like all their regular modes (lack of cab paint aside).

Hotspot and Onslaught I really love, but finding their wavemates in the wild (which I didn't have to) was a real pain in the arse.

*** sub note: has there been any confirm of the olive green chest plate for onslaught coming.... or is it lost to time? ***

I love devastator, but I feel like he should be judged separately from the scramble city bots. As far as which incarnation of him I like best.... It's hard to say. Takara's should win hands down for the improvements, but I wish they'd pulled some of the paint from the Hasbro Releases. Takara's a little bland....

Well, I tossed my MM into storage a long time ago and never looked back (about 10 seconds after I opened my Cyclonus figure to be exact

) so I use Galvatronus with the Stunticon limbs, but I like him both with the Combaticon limbs, and with a combination of the two also 8-)

Something tells me the running change never got to happen, much like the correctly colored face of Universe 2008 Ironhide.

I think at this point in time, he can be considered lost to the budget :BANG_HEAD:

Oh you sweet summer child...

I feel Dragstrip makes one of the best limbs. Both leg mode and arm mode are just the right sizes.

Where does Spinister fit into all this?

Where ever you want them to take it and modify it as you see fit.

Springer is that older rebel brother who also has a car mode because he is embarrassed to be any less. Spinister Idk though.

Cartoon accuracy, UW Bruticus was aiming for that very thing.

Also, a page or two back was someone asking what other repaints we would in theory want? I can't believe I forgot to mention this one.

How would the groove mold interact with the prime/mm mold though. ..

Fist to nip connection would probably work.

Just because they're CW mold doesn't mean they should combine, right? FunPub has a couple more, without designated teams:

- Checkpoint out of Offroad (Trailbreaker head)
- Autotroopers out of Offroad ("Hoist" head)
- X-Brawn out of Rook (new head)

Look for SG Prowl and SG Brawn
