True, true. I was thinking of shoulder articulation mostly. These could be really good or really not. Only time can tell.william-james88 wrote:Cobotron wrote:Oh! PCC. I could see that. Maybe that style of combining would offer up a little more articulation.
If there is automorphing, then you usually get less articulation. The PCC toys had no articulation (and neither do Power Ranger zords)
Ya. Come to think of it, I have a few older ones with elbows.Sabrblade wrote:]Some zords and megazords of the past have had some kind of articulation.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Aye but was that not a fan selected or fan created one though
Ya. They did have knees, and the ports as articulation worked pretty well. I know PCC was not well loved, but I think they are pretty neat toys. Toys being the key word.RAR wrote:The mechanims in the PCC drones did inhibit motion and so cause a lack of functional elbows but they had fully mobile shoulders and some had opening hands. you can certainly pose them a lot they have waists, usually pretty mobile heads, knees, decent enough hips and so on.
I would be shocked if the $35.00 Combiners are that well jointed. I'm sure they will be an interesting talking point though.

I see Grimlock's beast mode head, neck, torso, and arms. Looks like his tail disappears where the combiner feet are.william-james88 wrote:What worries me is how that Grimlock component looks to be just the legs, where's the rest of him?!

Pretty sure the left side ones are from the toys' packaging art.MrBlack wrote:The in-game models don't seem to look much like the images on the left side of each picture (which look more like in-show models). The Soundwave on the left, for instance, has a face much more reminiscent of his G1 look than the more Prime-esque look on the in-game model.

Shocknado looks like a redeco of Skyhammer, and a Decepticon one at that. Shockwave/Shockblast and Tornado is what I'll be guessing for the names.
Dragbreak... Guess I was wrong, it is a single pack, with Drag Strip/Dragstar and Wildbreak. What are the odds of seeing the other two?
Hi-Test is partnered with Combiner Optimus Prime, guess that comes close to a "Hi-Q" reference.
We already know about Activator Combiner Soundwave, but why is Laserbeak classified as a Torpedo and not as an Activator?
Galvatronus should indeed be Cyclonus... but what intrigues me is that he seems to have 5 members instead of the predicted 4 for the rest. Also, each limb has a different accent color. The arms are indeed Air/Jet Vehicons, so the legs must be another type.
I wonder how the legs work on Menasor. And "Ultrabee"... *groans* Bumblebee's inability to come up with something cool strikes again

It's nice to see some rotation in a One-step you don't often get that.
It looks like the knees up are on a hinge system so the chest is the nose of the car and I like the elbows he has - it seems he spins at the knees.
But I really would prefer some more Decepticons - heck they could do a much better job with Thunderhoof - or at least repaint him a bit.
They never made a Megatronus One step so that would be worth doing as would Starscream.
I think that Shark one would work really well as a one-step too.
------
P.S.
This is now 5 One-step RID Bumblebee (2 Scissor,2 butterfly, and an unfold type).
4 Sideswipe (2 butterfly, one sort of Scissor and a rotate and chest pop type)
3 Optimus Prime (Flipchanger ish one, one which is mainly just moving his hands and standing it up, and an unfold like one) I would have expected one be made in white but they've not done that yet surprisingly.
2 Drift (One scissor and one butterfly)
------
So I'll say what I usually do - make more Decepticons and make Jazz.
Also why not make Rescue Bots onesteps in with the RID line ?
