Nggghhh... when I look at Scrounge, Afterburner, Strafe and the new Hands and Feet I REALLY want to like this set, and I could tolerate Streetwise Lightspeed and Brawl with a drill Nosecone; but that torso just brings the whole thing down

I'd buy this set only if Takara weren't making one that actually looks like the cartoon. By comparison, Hasbro's set just looks like the cheap repainted kludgebot it is, and I honestly can't see myself buying one.
That said, I like the idea of putting the gestalt handfoots on Afterwhatever's motorcycle mode.

I still think Computron looks like he's got a block of cheese stuck onto his leg via Nosecone.
I'm glad folks are happy with this set, but it doesn't interest me at all except for the hands/feet.
I was going to say something else but I completely forget now.

As the technobots and Computron they don't look that great. As aspiring technobots and Betatron they look pretty great. Takaras Computron will be my actual Computron while this guy is a completely new team who work as a "B" team when necessary.

Makes me wonder why Liokaiser doesn't also have those hands and feet.

They may have blown the alotted budget on new heads, lucsious paint apps, the additional guns, and the arms micron

If they had just given Computron a new head, I'd have gotten the Hasbro version. It has a lot going for it, but the head just doesn't work.

Yeah, I'd have taken a new head over new hands on him any day

It's like everything wrong with Combiner Wars coalesced into one set. I might have bought Strafe and Scrounge if they were available separately, but they're not, so I won't.

But aren't those hands and feet from the Victorion set. The molds are already done, how much could it tax the budget?

Nope, the one's in the Computron set are brand new molds, they just have similar functionality

I kinda just want the tiny little spaceship guy, mostly because I want Sky Lynx and Cosmos to be able to dual-wield mini-shuttle guns.

I don't know why but I want Computron. If I get a set, it'll be uncle Hassy's. I may hold out for a sale though....

Well hey, they are all good figures - aside from, ahem, a certain tank mold - and the combined form is still fine and solid and the extras are fantastic. The only thing really wrong with it is that it's not so much Computron as it is a sort of cool-looking Combiner with Computron's colours and Superion's face.

The sad thing is if they would've gone for the Superion without the faceplate they could of passed it as Computron.

I'm not entirely sure if going from Superion to Galvatron is an improvement...

Wow, that kinda sucks that Strafe doesn't have the double barrelled blaster to hold while in robot mode. Especially with his alt mode cannons not being removable and the new hands and feet not becoming weapons. Not a deal breaker though.
