It's no secret that Hasbro planned for Legends/Combiner compatibility, but over the past week we have seen some great alterations to known combinations along with some great fan-made ones. Now Seibertron.com is happy to bring these great lesser known combinations to light!
To start things off,
Kah Fei Shang has shown off
Thundercracker working as a chest piece for
CW Optimus Prime. This would work likewise with the other Legends Seekers (
Starscream,
Acid Storm and upcoming
Skywarp), but what makes Thundercracker special is current turncoat status in the IDW comics.
Also, these Seekers should be compatible with CW Menasor, and might look especially fetching with a Skywarp chest piece!
Next we bring you a multiple
Blackjack power-up to Menasor, thanks to
Gikpa. While its not quite discernible how the pair of Jack's are situated on the shoulders, they sure give him a beefier look! If you're not interested in that bit of overkill, have a look at the alternate configuration of the chest Jack. It should connect the same way as the standard setting, but is a nice alternative to the "car parked on chest" look. Think about what this could mean for the upcoming
Legends Rodimus!
Legends
Huffer,
Nemesis Prime, and
Optimus Prime can all take a seat on the open chest cavities of CW Optimus and Menasor. It's as simple as positioning the Legends figures hands in a way to hold on to the two handles protruding from either Voyager's chest. How funny would it be to have Voyager Optimus combine with his Legends counterpart? Special thanks to Twitter users
@FigureReviewers and
@tsukumo_TF for the inspirational pics!
Even earlier Legends figure
Skrapnel has found a way to clasp on the to Optimus/Menasor chest. Twitter user
@frenzy_altron shared with his followers that he has the same method as Huffer and Nemesis Prime to hold sturdily aboard!
Hasbro's next stab at a Legends Insecticon,
Bombshell pulls double duty as a Targetmaster and a chest piece. His gun mode is pretty self explanatory, and his hood ornament mode holds on like all his predecessors.
Saving the best for last, Seibertron's own
Cobotron has come up with a great way to incorporate Legends
Powerglide as a chest piece! Holding on to Primes chest pegs for dear life much like the others, he makes another nice addition to the hood ornament brigade!
In closing, you may have not been aware of the multitude of possibilities with these Combiner Wars figures and their Legends counterparts. A large number of mold sharing has made the options nearly endless!
If you have come up with something new, please share it! There's always new things to learn and things to discuss in our forum,
The Energon Pub. Stop by and pull up a seat!
It's hilarious 'cause he just looks regular.
PM ME PLEASE!
