What tabs?
On the sides of the intakes.

I've never noticed them before. Pulled him down and transformed him into jet, arm, leg and combined mode and I'm pretty sure they do nothing. Couldn't clip the combiner hand to them, nor the weapons or any random robot parts. They do appear to have a purpose though.
Unused pretool?
EDIT: well this is a dumb option and I'm just as confused as Blackwing
Fortunately all my instructions are organized in folders in my desk. Best I can tell they show the arms pegging into the wings in arm mode and just tucked straight down in leg mode, just like the pics in Ben's review.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Someone needs to find the instructions, that might be the official transformation. The brothers were weird as limbs officially

I'm trying for a representation of the IDW comic he is in, so 2 of the limbs will most likely be Wheeljack and Ironhide. Who should be the other 2? Suggestions?

Dreadwind and Darkwing are good choices. Their jet alt modes mesh well with Starscream. For the other two, because I have the Unite Warriors sets for both Menasor and Bruticus, I used their Hasbro retail "extra" team members, Off Road and Jet Blast Off, for Megascream. I wish I had one more jet not used elsewhere so as to make Megascream completely made of flying alt-modes, but it is what it is.

Super Saiyan Sunstorm, then.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:IMO he really doesn't, because he's all-over metallic gold, not yellow-orange with red and white accents. He only works as Sunstorm in the sense that he could be most non-Conehead Seekers

As for Blackwing and Dreadwind, great choices, but were they on Cybertron with Starscream in the RID comic? I'm trying to use the combiner as a representative of the alliance between the Bots and Cons in that story.
Yeah, I was thinking Prowl as well, but the last limb should be a Con, to balance things out. Besides, I only own the orange legends Wreck-Gar, and he's Firestormer's chest armor.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:No, I'm afraid Abominus is staying together.

I believe Dreadwind was dead by that time unfortunately.
If you want the bot/con alliance, I would say you need a Prowl, Ironhide, Wheeljack, and Wreck Gar for the junkions in Optimus Prime, if you want

Yeah he was, but he's a part of my IDW Bruticus (consisting of Onslaught, Jet Blast Off, G2 Swindle ('dead Swindle'), G2 Brawl and G1 Vortex.) So I'll just find someone once I go through my entire collection of combiners. I mean, Dreadwind is dead, but Blackwing is still around. I'll figure something out.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Yeah, I was thinking Prowl as well, but the last limb should be a Con, to balance things out.

I honestly don't think there's really a con limb you can use, nothing really stands out that wouldn't be separated, unless you want jet Blastoff, that was an important character to Starscream in the comic.
I decided to put together Abominus while I'm stuck working from home. I got Hun-Gurrr and Rippersnapper, just waiting on the other three to ship. I noticed the ratchets in Hun-Gurrr are much nicer than Elita-1 and Starscream. I'm actually thinking of buying another Elita so Orthia can stand a little better.Rodimus Prime wrote:No, I'm afraid Abominus is staying together.

You could look into replacing the springs with stronger ones.aronjlove wrote:I decided to put together Abominus while I'm stuck working from home.
