A little surprised you've not combine Moon Racer's and Novastar's guns for Orthia.

I have before. Just didn't that time.
But, look closely at Dazzlestrikes new handle.

[blackeyedprime]

I always have to extend the legs as much as possible to give the combiners height or just have the arms/legs both shorter just to fit on shelves. Preordered Lancer (September for UK) which gives me enough time to track the other limbs down if I can stop buying titans return figures.

Which ever combination elita ends up in, the unpainted/painted wheel duos will be in the same positions (likely painted ones as legs).

Got notified that Lancer got shipped last night and she was on my porch when I got him from work. Joints are a little more loose than the rest of her cast mates but still pretty good. Had to take a picture of combined mode before I put them back on display.

I see you took the liberty to remove the paint from Elita-1's Prime Armor Feet (I actually forgot they were painted).

Did your Elita-1 come with Pink Prime Armor, or did you strip the Black Paint off?

I spotted that. Thought it was a little odd to use that piece as a handle which doesn't make dazzlestrike protrude any further form the combiner fist.

Ha! True, but it gives her an actual handle to hold instead of it just pegging into the thumb and "floating" there. But really, Dazzledog doesn't even make all that impressive of a weapon for a combiner. More of just a hot pocket knife.

When Lancer arrives and I get them all down to play, I'll use POTP Munkky Prime's guns (as per Lunatic Prime's suggestion) to make a nice long Fire Spear.

I just discovered it a few minutes ago and logged on planning to tell everyone. I think it looks a lot better than the vanilla approach.

It looks better if she's got Lionizer in the other hand - then she's dual wielding little stabby daggers. Though maybe I ought to try turning them upside down...

[sol magnus]

Kinda want to complete Orthia now...

Anyway, I saw people putting Top3 Siege in here between bashing Chromia and Megatron, so i thought I'd give mine. I like the idea the one guy had that his top 3 are the ones he picks up the most. To that end -

Top 3

Ultra Magnus
Optimus Prime Voyager
Megatron Voyager

(Jetfire will bump Megatron, but I don't have one as yet)
Honorable Mentions go to Soundwave, Prowl (again, not sure of the issue people have - I'm more mad he didn't get shoulder guns), Red Alert, Springer, Hound and Shockwave (which is almost like saying everybody else).

Why these three at the top? They're all great classic representations of beloved characters. I don't get the hate on Megatron besides the QC issues, which my copy does not have.

I don't have any figure in Siege I'm just 'not happy' with. I would not buy it in the first place if I thought any reported issue was going to make me unhappy. This is the best designed line outside of Masterpiece Transformers have had since Car Robots in my view.

The figure I have the most QC level issues with is Chromia, and that isn't enough to make me "unhappy" with the figure, since they mostly stand in state. My copy has a loose leg and her pistol doesn't 100% fit in her hand, an issue were she being played with in a dynamic fashion because it sometimes slips.

[blackeyedprime]

If I had to by what I had, Cog would be the top 3.All the others have been represented better in other lines (even cyberverse prowl is more appealing to me than the siege one). This will change as I fill out my collection with a few of the deluxes/voyagers and maybe a leader or two. Jetfires a must but I can probably (definitely could have got one) picked up an old die cast metal veritech at the same price, which though might be better quality, isn't the character.

I did. I thought I was stupid they painted them in the first place. They spent 2 different days in alcohol to remove the paint. I’d say almost all can off, and the little bit that didn’t almost makes it look like Siege deco.

[The_Cryptid_Person]

My top three is probably
1. Ironhide - perfect character rendition in at least one mode. Great for display and play
2. Sixgun - the embodiment of play value
3. Shockwave, if value-for-money is not counted. He's a good display piece. If it is, throw Cog in instead.

Skytread is extremely well-designed but isn't as iconic or playable as the top contenders. Brunt could have used more symmetrical connection points, it's harder to make a good armor mode with him than Cog or Sixgun. The Battle/micromasters are kind of sad, and Greenlight doesn't really count imo. Had I gotten better with resin casting I may have bumped the battle masters as a group up to #3, but sadly I have not

[Wolfman Jake]

Lancer has shipped from Pulse and will be here tomorrow!

Lancer will be here tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

I'm still waiting for a shipping notice for my Lancers from Hasbro Pulse. I put my order in on July 18. It's been a week now.

If the powers that be selected Spinister as an upcoming figure is there a chance we could see Needlenose? I was lucky to get my hands on a Collectors Club Spinister but I missed out on Needlenose and it's not a cheap figure. Anyone's thoughts....anyone...anyone?

Considering he's been in two fan polls, Hasbro's probably itching to release a Needlenose If they do, I hope it looks like the card version

I'd say it's quite likely since the vote determines who's made first, not who's the only one to get a new toy.

After Powermaster Aragon was revealed to be part of the Amazon exclusive Fan Vote 3 pack, fans were wondering if and when we'd have the other two. Well, thanks to TOYSTV Youtube channel, we have our first look at the next two Powerdashers! Their video walks us through the Hasbro display at ACG 2019, a convention in Hong Kong. Since Aragon was a retool of Cog, it's no surprise these Cromar and Zetar are retools of the other two Weaponizers, Six Gun and Brunt, respectively. Both have new heads based off their odd G1 toys, with Zetar's new head presumably playing a part in the tank mode to make it look like a drill.

The two are on the same display shelf as their Generations Selects counterparts, so they will likely be released under that line. Since the video covers the entire Hasbro display, we can also see the upcoming Masterpiece figures, Optimus Prime, Hound, and Blackarachnia, as well as a many, already unveiled, Selects, Siege, and Studio Series figures.

So, what are your thoughts on these two oddball releases? Check out the images as well as the video, and tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below.

[Stargrave]

Yesss! Thanks notirish!! Those look better than I’d envisioned.

[notsoalex]

The original Weaponizers are great, and these look awesome. I hope to buy all 3 Powerdashers, leaving 6 Weaponizers total. Still, the whole Powerdasher team being remade was a welcome surprise.

[o.supreme]

Neat, I'm always down for some more weaponizers, though sadly there's no way Cromar could be my Metroshot. Seems like it would have been easier to release these as a 3 pack, and just have the Mirage/Impactor set be it's own thing...

[Sentinel_Primal]

Cromar could be a nice weapons kit for G2 Sideswipe, but otherwise, I'm not too inclined to pick any of them up. Only getting Aragon because he comes in that set with Impactor and Mirage

C'mon no whammy, no whammy, no whammy, and STOP and release Needlenose please!

Thanks guys for the word.

[ZeroWolf]

The new powerdashers look pretty neat, I wonder if the drill head could be put onto anything to make it a weapon...

[Stargrave]

I want some Omnibots now.

[Cobotron]

AHHH HA HA! That drill bit party hat is just too awesome!! I love it!

Coneheads be like, whaaaaaaaaa?!


So glad I pulled the trigger on the 3-pack the other night, can't wait to add these two fools to the army!
