Well done Hasbro. Now just 2 more Autobot limbs to complete the Inferno combiner, and we will have perfect symmetry. :APPLAUSE:

Well, Inferno can take on Jazz, Ricochet, Wreck-Gar, and Red Swoop, if such is your fancy. What we really need are two more Decepticon limbs for the Starscream combiner.

I think Hydra and Buster would be the best choices there.

Sorry I meant 1 more autobot...(forgot about Riccochet and Red Swoop has another place)

Starscream is completed by Golden Lagoon SS (aka Sunstorm) and BC 2016 Terrosaur

Me too, but I don't know if Hasbro would go there. That feels like a Takara Tomy thing, especially given how minimal the deco difference is between and Hasbro's Darkwing and Dreadwind and Takara Tomy's Hydra and Buster (swapping teal for red).

What I would love to see is a redecoed Hydra and Buster from Darkwing and Dreadwind that includes new Powermaster Godmaster partners done in the style of the Power of the Primes Prime Master sparks, little robots that fold up into a decorative cube that fits inside the "Power Master Armor"/Combiner Hand instead of just a little piece of plastic.

I still say Hasbro dropped the ball when they didn't release Skywarp and Thundercracker as redecoes of either size Starscream. They would make good limbs if made from the deluxe mold.

There's still the Select line for them

Yeah, hopefully. Like I'm still hoping for a Sideswipe with a combiner peg.

There is a listing for an exclusive pack with Sideswipe. I just saw it yesterday, and dang it if I can't remember where I saw it. It could be some kind of repaint of Siege Swipe, but there is a part of me that is hoping it might be a CW mold.

If anybody knows the listing I'm talking about, feel free to call it out. ;)^

It is rumored to be part of the Siege line, but which mold is anyone's guess. I'd find it weird that they'd reuse a mold in a special ed. pack. Maybe it will be Siege Sideswipe done up in G2 colors. I'd be interested.

You are correct. It's an exclusive Firestormer pack with Sideswipe, Slamdance, and Aimless. Due to the name, it's probably a G2 redeco of Siege Sideswipe.

Though, I can confirm from info provided from both Pete Sinclair and Jesse Wittenrich that Fun Pub had considered giving us CW Sideswipe, but which would have just been a straight redeco of CW Breakdown since Hasbro did not make an alternate Sideswipe headsculpt since Breakdown's head was already a close enough match for Sideswipe's noggin.

I'm always piping up to mention you can pop off those arm guards for a slimmer forearm. Try it!

Wanted to share these 2 images for 2 reasons.

1) I love having so many combiners and having some combiners with their original counterparts. Devastator and Abominus are really cool in that latter way.

2) I really enjoy my Megascream. Starscream with a pair of brothers and 2 Scramble City Outcasts is pretty awesome, and he makes for a good looking combiner, especially with his crew on that top shelf

Nice! ...Although I must ask, what did Drag Strip and shuttle!Blast Off do to get exiled?

..out of curiosity, have you formed Abomenaticus or Destron Super Scramble with the modern figures?

That dragstrip is a lone wolf I found 2 summers ago at a parts swap. He's missing all his accessories and the left rear wheel. He kinda stood lonely for a while, but got his chance with Megascream. I like Jet Blastoff on Bruticus and his symmetry is nice with Vortex (they are legs on mine), and Shuttle Blastoff is wider and fits better with Dragstrip for symmetry, so they make a good pair of legs together.

I really like the result. the colors are pretty nice and varied, and Dragstrip is really the only component out air-capability wise, but he's fast, so it works.

No I did not try any of those combinations no. I've heard of them, but i didn't try

So do you have 2 Drag Strips or did you get both Wildrider and Off-road?

2 Dragstrips. 1 good one on Menasor, the parts swap one on Megascream

My Throne of the Primes Optimus Primal finally arrived today, for those who already have one, what's the best way of fixing the little peg in the Halo of Primus that connects it to the throne's backrest? Whenever I rotate the Halo the peg pops out, gets stuck further inside the plastic bit and it's hard to get everything reconnected.

Just curious, did you get the Takara release?

Yes it's the Takara version.

Hmm, I haven't had this problem with mine

For anyone who lost out finding BattleTrap last year or maybe only have 1/2 of the shirt/pants combo, Hasbro Pulse has both Battleslash and Roadtrap in stock and with free shipping and free Hasbro Pulse Premium for the rest of the year if you order before Feb. 24th.
