Hasbro, you so cray
She does look good with the other green bot of the week though.

Even on my third version of the mold I still like Greenlight. The colors are so nice and that green windshield and other translucent parts are so lovely.
Speaking of Hasbro and crazy, anyone else notices that Daz(z)lestrike turns into a Shadownsteel Iceblade with flame effect?

Play nice now you two!

The arms in alt mode. The "cuffs" awkwardly slide over other parts. It feels wrong and incorrect. The instructions don't help much as it almost makes it seem they should slide inside the wheel well. Not that she'll ever be in alt mode again.Lunatic Prime wrote:Uh, the packaging still shows the old torso part. But what did feel wront while transforming her?![]()
Typo, shadowsteel iceblade.

As the SIEGE figures all have 5 mm ports on the underside of their feet it's a pity you can't rotate Lionizer's head the other way round or otherwise you could actually give a bot iceskates now with having two of the moldTypo, shadowsteel iceblade.

Or just their names. I don't think the light green of Daz(z)lestrike works well with an ice themed character.
And now I get why you put the z into brackets.

And now I get why you put the z into brackets.
Do you mean the names of the characters or the names of the sword types? I can see the latter, but not the former. Although, Dazzlestrike's minor color touch works better for an ice sword than what Lionizer's body color is supposed to be. Which is to say, orange.
I see the slash that comes with Lionizer as more of a generic "moving air" slash effect.

I meant the characters' ones but yes, the weapon's names would work even better considering Dazzlestrike's name.
Although, Dazzlestrike's minor color touch works better for an ice sword than what Lionizer's body color is supposed to be. Which is to say, orange.
But I don't go after what a character's color is supposed to be. Or does Lionizer look orange to you when you look at him?

So just exchange the weapons' names and everything is fine

No, he does not look orange to me (yet, anyway. *looks at paints*). What he does look like is a cool sword for PotP Slash:

I just double-checked TF wiki to be sure about Smashdown, but I haven't seen the instructions myself yet....Doesn't seem to indicate that this is a female....Just curious what the source of this was?

This wave has barely hit yet. People are getting too anxious. I’ve seen Wave 2 in droves. Wave 3 will eventually populate.

Honestly, I kinda love the idea that she's female. I always want more femme bots that aren't traditionally feminine.

I like your attitude
What I want is a retool of Lionizer with a chainsaw blade. His body in weapon mode looks so much like the engine/drive part of a chainsaw.

As far as I know, Smashdown is genderless so far, but I like to think of Smashdown as a she, it makes sense to me and would be really awesome

The Walmarts are overrun with Chromia pegwarmers that are practically worthless to me as Hasbro saw fit to strip her of her combiner post. Has anyone come up with a weapon mode for her that the Combiner can carry, like the extra Seacon? Seems a shame to let her go as she seems like she should be part of the team, but there's no place for her.

And I realized why she's not a combiner (beyond just combiners not being part of the SIEGE retail line): The new C.O.M.B.A.T-compatible feet with ankle tilts. HasTak presumably did not want to try also cramming a combiner hand/foot port in there in addition to the C.O.M.B.A.T foot platform ports.
