I just realized someone asked me to post a picture of this a while back and I didn't. This is Krok, but it will work on Skullsmasher too. Here's how I connected the tail portion to his arm. Hope this helps.

Alright, thanks to o.supreme, I managed to get the Chaos on Velocitron set. Some thoughts:

Rodimus Prime is awesome. I love the diecast, and he works well as a standalone since he has no vehicle and no body, so he can actually man the guns other figures come with!

Fastlane: he feels sort of drab. I thought I would be more excited with him. And his joints are incredibly tight, like I'm afraid to break him tight.

Nautica is cool, and she feels better in hand than she looked. Really glad to finally have my favorite TF Lady with me!!!

Laser Prime. Wow. I love black and red, and this guy nails it. I love the look, even if the robot mode looks very different from his alt modes. He transforms solidly, and he looks dead sexy! 2nd favorite voyager behind Alpha Trion from the line for me! Plus that sword is awesome.

Quickswitch. Well, let's head down the rabbit hole: he's awesome. this is the figure I would've sold, but he beats Sixshot in every way. He has tight joints and can hold poses! He has so much paint and I like his colors. That wheeled-tank is my main alt mode for him, it works great! Love this figure, glad I got him. He kills papa sixy!

Really ?

For me it's the weakest of the set. (I love all the others)
The amount of paint to cover the diecast completely eliminate the details, which made him gross on all bodies I tried. (all with sculped details etc.
I agree he works well as standalone titan master, but as a head.. meh, at least.

I'm using him as a standalone, which is probably why he works so well. He'll either stay with Laser Prime, or go visit with Kup

Is that really the first song that came to your head when he said that? Well, this is the one that came to mine:

Yikes, I'm old enough to remember Cameo, loved Korn back in college and have daughters who loved the power puff girls when they were younger. All 3 actually came to mind for me.

Not up to date but has that "Chaos" boxset been found in Canada yet? (Within all the chaos of distribution lol).

I would much rather find the set in store then have to order it.

We have a whole thread dedicated to Canadian sightings in the Sightings forum, it has been spotted plenty. Check it out when you have a chance

So first it was just Vangelus, but apparently quite a few other people are reporting in saying they got Top Spin by finding him as the only Titans Return figure left on the peg/shelves. What do we even call this oddity?

Sheer luck.

I'd love to have some of that luck...I did find Brawn though. Beggars can't be choosers and all that.

Speaking of which, Brawn is a fun little dude. He can strike quite a few poses and doesn't have any inherent flaws. He might be the best Legends of the line, but that might just be the new toy sensation.

Makes perfect sense, this is the latest wave and he is the only non shortpacked figure that wasnt on the show. So yeah, he would be the only one left.

Out of the 2 stores I've seen this wave at, Kup seems to be the one that is left. Shame though, because he's the best figure in the wave.

Agreed!

As for me, the wave sells out pretty quickly but it was always Krok and Quake which were last to go.

I dunno. Hasbro-Kup is kinda ugly (in my opinion. I don't like the blocky arms, colour scheme or weirdly stretched looking head...all of which I find 'fixed' on Takara's) so maybe he just looks boring to a younger collector compared to the other figures and some older fans like myself are ordering takara's figure instead.

Works fine for me, I plan on getting just him and Twintwist.

I got Rodimus Prime by himself from eBay. I like it, and placed him on the Hot Rod body, while putting the Hot Rod head in the cab. Also, going back, I am just now considering buying Galvatron. Is that figure worth it? I like the colors, and he looks like he could be a decent G1 homage.

I'd say yes he is. The flip up face mask is really the only stupid part of the toy (the titan master is unpainted grey, but it doesn't bother me), but he has decent articulation, is nice and beefy and looks good in robot and jet mode (except for the mentioned face mask). Take some good looks at that mask. If it doesn't bother you, go for it. Of course, there are helmets that have been made to replace it if it really bothers you.


His jet mode is eh. It's fine as some starfighter type craft, but mine will rarely ever go in that mode.

I'm getting both. With Kup, seeing him in person he looks way better. And the more I messed with him the more I liked him.

He`s the best Galvatron figure we have ever gotten in terms of likeness to his G1 self. The only problem with him is that face mask, but I am still glad I own him.
