There are some changes, it seems, so check out the video review below!Skywarp completes the G1 Seeker trio quite nicely. Sure it's a repaint of Starscream but that was a solid mold, one I think is much better than the Classics Deluxe mold. Finding this online may be tough due to mark ups and scalping so an in-store purchase may be your best route.

Do you think we'll ever get the Dinobots as part of the Combiner Wars? I mean.....we're already getting Sky Lynx.....so anything is possible I s'pose

I cant explain it. I can only tell you what Habro said. They said that any traditional combiners with beast alt modes you might have been expecting are currently not in development.

Well....I've obviously exposed a loophole right there!

Sky Lynx's altmode is a vehicle. The dinobird mode is his robot mode, so he can get around the "no beast combiners" thing.Stuartmaximus wrote:william-james88 wrote:Stuartmaximus wrote:Then how do they explain Sky Lynx? coz he's a beast!(a mythical one at that), granted he only makes up the main body of a combiner! & the limbs are not beasts......but still!

So lemme get this right! we're NOT getting any beast combiners! well that can't be right....coz Abominus, Predaking & Piranhacon were part of G1 lore! so how can Hasbro justify having other G1 Combiners.....but not include them? + Tripredicus wasn't part of the traditional combiners with beast alt modes(as far as I can remember! I dunno about the comics....but he didn't appear in any of the G1 cartoons, granted the Tripredicus Council appeared on Beast Wars) also....the Dinobots were not traditional combiners! they never had a combiner feature in G1, it was only a third party that developed that(& for all I know....it may have appeared in the comics).

Does he looks strange to people now or have you got used to it - I though I'd ask as I just noticed again recently how damn strange looking Energon Super Base Optimus Prime looks as a toy - It made me wonder will people look back in years to come and think - he was a bit odd looking.
I can kind of see what Hasbro were getting at he's a bit like the preceding IDW Prime, with some elements of Hero Prime and Classics Prime thrown in he has the tail light design from G1 Optimus - and even some Energon Prime in the Torso mode and how the missing paint on the truck mode make it look like the white parts on that toy.
But some might look at it and just think he's rather wide looking and has a very small head.
I might guess some people might be happy with it as Motormaster more than as Optimus.

Look! I'm not saying your wrong, I just don't understand Hasbro's justification of not including beast form combiners!

So last night I saw a particular Australian based online website was going to have a restock of the Protectorbots, as I'm going to be getting the Unite Warriors version I still wanted to grab Rook, and given the lack of distribution that occurs when you live in regional Australia, I put my pre-order in.
Walked into K-Mart today, and they have the Protectorbots (sans Hot Spot) in stock.
DISTRIBUTION FRUSTRATION!
"But Burn, can't you just cancel your pre-order?"
No ... that in itself is a story on its own and not something I want to go into publicly.

Yes, mine does, and so does everyone else's, I believe; It's because the weight pulls the figure forward, and the detents in the hips have enough 'soft space' that it just leans forward on the detent; either that, or there is not enough pressure from the spring to hold the detents in place;
Hope this helps.
