That's how I had Menasor combined the last time (the Stunticons are in storage now), but I had to prop him up against the wall behind him. I also get irked at having to turn the legs sideways on the MM and Hotspot molds in torso mode. Looks ridiculous.Sabrblade wrote:While not solving all of the mold's problems as a torso, it does look a little better (and a little taller) when one turns the legs of the mold to face backwards instead of facing sideways. Granted, the combiner's thighs are also made looser since they can no longer peg into the waist piece (which each copy of the mold only did to varying degrees anyway), but it's a small price of "stability" to pay to make the mold look a tad less ugly-looking as a torso.Rodimus Prime wrote:The above pictures of BCOP just reminded me of how horrible that mold is as a torso.

... unless they were Combiners in G1. We can still see the rest further down the line, just not the likes of Galvatronus, Optimus Maximus, Victorion and Sky Reign.

That's actually fine with me. Each box does say the combiner's name on the front, indicating that the figure inside is a single character. And when you open the box, there s/he is. In pieces.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:As for actual PotP comments (y'know, the topic we're supposed to discuss ), I never looked at Devastator or Predaking as a boxed set, to me it's a Titan Class figure that happens to be in pieces inside the box.

Except that, y'know, in Devastator and Predaking's cases, those "pieces" are all individual characters with their own personalities and their own robot and alternate modes. Heck, by the logic you're using, the other combiner giftsets wouldn't count as boxed sets either - they'd just count as Supreme class figures that are in pieces inside the box.

Octopunch, not Counterpunch. Counterpunch is Punch's fake Decepticon ID.
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I'm wanting to put distinguishing marks of some sort on the Prime Armor filler guns for Jazz and the Dinobots. I'm not sure whether to come up with personalized symbols for each of them and glue those to the undersides of the guns, or to paint the guns. And if I go the painting rout, how best to distinguish between the individual Dinobots' weapons - anyone got suggestions?
EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:I picked up Dreadwind the other day, and I was kinda surprised at the QC issues he had. The forearms pop off really easily, and the 5mm ports for his hands are too tight for him to hold his weapon while the port for the hand/foot in limb mode is barely able to support the weight of the prime armor in arm mode. I love his jet mode though. Robot mode is alright, but having the wings on his legs looks a little strange. Either way, he was a lot of fun to paint. The paint’s a little rough in some spots, but overall I like it!

#LeakedFromCybertron: See how the team experimented with some features of the Leader Class Evolution Rodimus Prime figure.
Emerje wrote:That certainly is something different. I always wondered why we didn't get more vehicle combiners (outside of Big Powered) in the Transformers franchise, seemed like the right thing to do since the characters are equal parts robot and vehicles.
Anyway, here's the "Prima" the Va'al mentioned in the article for those that don't know what he's talking about or haven't seen this design before.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
