At Toys r us the other night and saw Onslaught and i must say i really like him and would make a great edition to the Decipticon team, but hearing alot of problems just wondering if thats true?

yes he's the best ultra and one of the best classics pick him up! while yes he's got a few small probs with the legs but he's still worth it.

Get in your car and go back there, now.

NOW!!

Awesome figure, one of my favorite out of the Universe/Classics line.

Hell yeah! What problems? I have no problems with mine.

Not really. It's a bit mediocre. I don't really feel it meets the same standard set by the Universe deluxes or previous classic figures.

I could go through the flaws(and there's a few), but it's not so much the flaws that bother me, as it is that when I look at mine every now and then, I just don't like it. To me it's a waste of space. If I'm ever in the mood, it'll be one of the TFs I rid myself of.

Mind you that's not to say it's bad or anything...

One word: YES!

He's my favorite Universe figure so far! Just so much win packed into one ultra-class figure...Only drawback is that weak-ass siren-thingie, but who cares? Most people take the batteries out anyways.

I have him.
ZERO problems.

He is maybe my favorite Universe figure so far.
In fact, I bought another one to keep MISB.

Highly recommend him, I think he's very very awesome.

I love him. He might be one of my favorites in my collection. I'd buy a repaint, if it was a cool color. I don't know who else they could use the mold for; and ideas?

Personally, the first thing to come to mind would be a re-built Brawn, you know, after he got blowed up in TF:TM. That would be badass.

Go for him. He looks like he can kick the crap out of half of your collection by himself. Personally, I'd go for the Japanese release though. I prefer the more saturated blue myself, but go for whatever you like.

The Henkei version's better, IMO.

by **jduckworth27** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:04 pm

$25 is nothing, so pick him up. he's a cool figure even though he is a piece of junk and will likely break soon after your purchase, but what's new. that's why TFs are cool.

seriously, he is a good figure and he looks great. his bot mode is really good. however, i'm partial to powerglide.........of couse everyone else will say that is stupid. oh well.

I saw pics where someone repainted him Grimlock colors and called him War Within Grimlock. They added a few guns. He looked really kick ass.

This one?

I was stunned when I looked through those pictures. TFU Onslaught is already cool... FrenzyRumble made it even cooler

by **jduckworth27** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 3:03 pm

after seeing those pictures, i want to get another one and do a repaint. man, that's cool!

A men

Universe Onslaught is one for the shelf. I like the hasbro version so I won't be picking up the Henkei. And, I personally could give a rats-ass about the siren. go buy him now!

Given the recent trend of super-sizing Micromasters, I'd say Sidetrack.

Only if his battle plan went wrong.

He's awesome. If I were to make any complaints about him it would be the fact that I can't make Bruticus. :-x

That's just a minor detail though. Onslaught just looks awesome.

well took everyone advice and picked up TFU Onslaught and he is very kool and one bad looking mofo! the paint detail is really good and very articulate and no probs with his legs! 2 thumbs up!!!

by **ThunderThruster** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 2:07 pm

i've just got myself 1, and i love it. I'd reccommend it to anyone that like the classics/universe line!

News Credits: 49 · by **Senor Hugo** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 2:10 pm

Hm, I may pick up Onslaught. If only to attempt to repaint him into Roadbuster.

News Credits: 97 · by **Savage** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 3:04 pm

He's an awesome figure, the only Universe figure bigger than Voyager that I've bought so far. Of course, he'll soon be dwarfed by City Commander Ultra Magnus.
