Mine is Sky Blast and is on my Starscream combiner

LoOKs pretty rad I wish the visor wasnot broken up into eyes but I still dig it

In my head cannon they are both blast off as he loves to experiment with new alt modes and splitting himself between new bodies...meaning one day he might have a full combiner team consisting of himself

Accurate to the original toy

Don't know what I'd do with a Jetblast just yet...

For me, I'm gonna use the GT System so that all three can be Blast Off at the same time.

Only two left till he can be grand blast off

Just no more jets or it will ruin transformers forever. Maybe an alpha bravo redeco. I’m sure everyone will love that.

Well I imagine the torso would either be silver bolt or Starscream redeco...an alpha bravo redeco would get us to three limbs who would the fourth be or would it be uw blast off? Or his counter part from car robots maybe?

1. Shuttler or G2 Take Off
2. CW Take Off
3. UW Blast Off
4. CW Blast Off (new)

Main Body? A shuttle of course, so Shy Lynx repaint.

Completely forgot sky lynx, that works quite nicely (though would have been better with a bot mode...)

Completely unrelated note: Assuming that the Seacons were a "UW Computron" job (so all existing molds but with heavy retools allowed) who would you use as the bases for them?

For me I might pick...

Snaptrap: Either a heavy, HEAVY retool of Grimlock (though admittedly his torso mode is a bit pants) or an even heavier retool of Skylynx, being a bit creative and giving him a turtle mode and an "undersea crawler" mode.
Overbite: Rippersnapper with new weapons and head. Simple.
Skalor: I'm tempted to say a really heavy retool of Slug actually. Either that or Blot/Rippersnapper with a completely new "shell".
Seawing: Retool the Cutthroat mold.
Tentakil: Blot retool, albeit quite an extensive one (on par with UW Nosecone).
Nautilator: Assuming new molds are out of the question, a heavy retool of Legends Skrapnel might work?

I wonder why you care....

As for Takara, that $175+ "those people" would've paid for a REAL Liokaiser set gave up and lined the pockets of another company. That's usually how it works. So if HasTak doesn't care why should we right..?

It would be a lot more than $175 for a third party liokaiser, actually that would be a bargain price. Though I would probably still waiting for a decent quality ko of said 3p set.

Anyhow, black hat, can you get a gun mode (or there abouts out of skrapnel? You could easily get snap trap out of hunggrr.

Ahh don't worry Take Off, you will get to be an arm for Galvatronus. How is this being released BTW?

At the moment, he's getting released through Amazon but other outlets have him up for preorder as well (or you can deal with eBay and those doubling-tripling his price)

I have a real Liokaiser. He was released in a box set for combiners wars. Seriously. He has the name and the symbols and is an official release. I don’t need all 6 of the original team to be satisfied. CW Liokaiser is a colorful fun combiner. Wanna spend $500 on a high quality knock off just to please you and only you? Cool. I spent $80 and have the same satisfaction.

Robotkingdom is the only one with orders up so far. They’re intended to start shipping today

I mean, that's cool, but some people want Liokaiser to have his full ensemble and not require upgrade kits to have feet that aren't totally worthless. Heck, I want CW Liokaiser but I'm not going to pretend he's a definitive version and that a good 3P alternative wouldn't be nice.

Technically he is the definitive one becuase he’s the only official one in 30 years. I won’t count a 3rd party. Not gonna compare an IP infringed product that’s $500 aimed at 30+ year olds with expendable income to an official product that’s aimed for everyone.
