Something looks very odd about that Wildrider. Am I crazy?

It's ROTF Wildrider.

Very cool. Did you pull some Shockwave level crimes against Primus to pull that off?

[Cobotron]

He looks like he's just gone splat onto Menosaur.

I thought that too. Glad you're the one who caught it,

No, he's just been stretching a lot these days. Figured I'd amuse myself (and maybe others) while I wait for CW Wildrider to get to me.

Hasbrotoyshop needs to hurry up and get the rest of the Protectobots on to the site for preorder. My Hot Spot is going to look awful lonely pretty quick. As a nurse IRL, this is the combiner I am the most excited about (I only ever owned G1 Superion in the past). Love me some rescue vehicle Transformers.

Whirl.... spin... I don't want you to think you're getting away with that.

[Bradimus]

Well I just got this from UPS, decided to take pics in the park. He's nice, though I honestly like Alpha bravo as an individual better; i've joked but he is the hero; and to be the hero he needs to be separate from superion. I think when I get Firefly and Air-raid i'm going to come back to the fountain and take pics of the original limbs as a barber shop quartet.

I just got Quickslinger (Slingshot) today. Outstanding use of the mold, like it was always intended for him.

When you take that picture of the four original Aerialbot limbs as a barbershop quartet, have Slingshot lead them with this song: Denis Leary - A--hole (Uncensored Version)

Somebody should make a video of that.

Well he needs to start smelling better before I stop making him the butt of all jokes and bad puns!

It must have been pretty awful. I think I was the only other person to get a funky Whirl. Mine stopped stinking weeks after I opened him though.

Was yours Hasbros or TakaraTomy?

Best of my knowledge it was a standard US release Hasbro. I did buy it though a discount store (TJ Maxx) though. They tend to get a lot of Hasbro left overs of various lines.

Does anyone know if Brake-Neck and Quickslinger were meant to be the original uses for these molds instead of Dead End and Firefly? The alt modes are the same as their original toys. (Ferrari and Harrier) Unlike Dead End and Fireflight who were a Porche and Phantom Jet originally.

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

Just got Quickslinger and Brake-Neck in the mail from Target. Love these guys, Superion and Menasor will look great with these additions.

As with all the other CW limbs, I'm removing the ratchet joints and making them smooth, tight friction joints. The combined bots have much finer poseability now. I'll have to make a post in the Kitbash forum about that.

I'm going to use Alpha Bravo as a weapon, as I saw someplace, here, perhaps. I took the combiner plug off, so the post fits into the 5mm hole in the hands.

EDIT- pic

That is what I'm thinking...

[steals_your_goats]

I know I'm a little late with this but I've been thinking about the Soundwave speculation and I had a cool thought. What if instead of a voyager Soundwave with cassette limbs we got a leader class Soundwave with legend class cassettes that could combine with each other and form a cassette combiner. It would be something completely new and free up the voyager and deluxe spots for some Seacons!


or something else...

Sure, but cassette limbs sounds cooler to me.

Soundwave does look incredibly similar to the CW Prime/MM mold in the comics, so that's the basis for the rumors of the Cassette combiner.

[chuckdawg1999]

He looks like he's just gone splat onto Menosaur.

I wish there was a way on the forums to just like posts. This was probably the best thing I've read all day. I can totally see a vintage Rattler just going splat on Menosaur.

Robot mode yes, but not at all in vehicle more. Anything is possible though I suppose, I just really would like a leader Soundwave lol

I finally received the missing pieces to complete my combiners. Is anyone else having trouble using dragstrip as a leg? He seems to be taller than all the other stunticons in leg form.

[peaces]

fold the bottom part of him up

I believe that this step is accidentally omitted from the instructions but it does work fine.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm racking my mind right now trying to figure out exactly what you mean. Anybody have a picture of this?
