Explorer comes with more than just the back cannons. His set includes the following:
1.) Combiner foot
2.) One combiner limb attachment (arm)
3.) Various weapons for the figures
Munitioner comes with the rest of the pieces. So, no matter how much you dislike Explorer/Blast-Off, if you wish to complete the combiner as they designed it, you must have both robots.
A genius move on their part, sucks for those who don't want to buy 'em.

I sincerely doubt that'll be possible. FansProject said it'll be shipping to retailers at the end of June, not from them.
Outside of a miracle, I don't see how it's possible that anyone at BotCon will have these for sale, short of FP themselves opening a booth and selling them directly.Diem wrote:I only want Swindle, so I'm a little annoyed that the Onslaught back cannons come with Blast Off.

Not only would Hasbro be able to better market these 'additions', they can strategically boost sales of existing stock with an attachment, like DLC for video games. Hasbro could also relegate smaller niche toys or repaints to the FansProject brand for direct sale.
I know Hasbro would prefer a small lineup of toys distributed in large volumes, but they really have to look at extending the shelf life of their brands and catering to high-end collectors.
Check my blog, chalk-full of ideas! : p (some bad, some good): http://originaldave77.wordpress.com/

That's a terrible idea. Here's why:
1.) No competition, no fresh ideas.
2.) Rather than produce FP's products, they'd dismantle 'em.
3.) FP isn't bound by the same laws as Hasbro, when it comes to design and construction.
It would be bad if they got their hands on it.

I'm debating if I should get the Universe/ROTF version, since the kits are colored for that, but I'd really prefer to skip the mark-ups to get it online if the Energon version would look good enough.

see, what i'm gonna do is get the universe/ROTF combaticons and then get energon barricade(onslaught) separately because the energon combainers came in sets and individually
the universe/ROTF onlsaught just looks terrible! thats why i'm getting the energon version that has a G1 accurate color scheme
