Combining gimmick? The first Twitch looks like her drone mode has an ass-grabbing gimmick!
Oh, I get it, she's one o' them predator drones. Maybe the U.N. should ban them.
I'd be more interested in the 1-step having a combining gimmick, since that drone appears to be a Titan-Master for Shockwave or Whirl.
So many Skullcrunchers since TR, and yet none of them are really the upgraded one I've wanted since my 8th birthday...

These new figures look good, hopefully they'll be easier to find online.

Interesting that those are still being considered Warrior class despite having an obvious new gimmick worked into them. Twitch also has extra articulation in her feet that aren't used in alt mode and Bumblebee has an unusually large upside down symbol on the car mode roof leaving me to believe it'll form a chest.
BTW, these seem to use the same connectors as the upcoming Cyber Combiners we saw back in September (and also featured Twitch and Bumblebee), but don't appear to be compatible.
Might get these, and will probably get Skullcruncher simply because it's Skullcruncher.

That Twitch picture on the package looks....evil. And the vehicle mode looks way to similar to a mosquito for this Wisconsinite's liking. Causing flashbacks...

No lie. Looks like I'll be saving a lot of money next year. Or burning more of it on 3rd party stuff.

Do you tend to buy a lot from the little kiddie lines? Because if you don't then your not saving any money, the product is not targeted at you. It's like commenting on Matel's latest Barbie line and saying "I don't collect this, so I'm saving lots of money". Doesn't make much sense.

If it looked good, I'd buy it regardless of what line it's in. I had briefly considered Twitch or Thrash since they were new characters, but I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on it once the Earthspark line started showing up at Walmart and I got good look at them in-hand. Unfortunately, nothing I've seen announced in a while in ANY line has really screamed "BUY ME!"
My purchases tapered off dramatically this year, with the Trainbots being my only significant HasTak buys. I have broken down and picked up the dinky Dinos, but only with the expectation of getting the upgrade kit. Everything else has been 3rd party.

Not as much as the Unicron did, but I just couldn't justify the expense at the time. Unfortunately I'm only marginally familiar with the Deathsaurus character, but I'd really prefer an updated Liokaiser, not the recolored Sky Reign. I'm an idiot for a combiner team.

Warrior Bee actually looks decent.
And I adore that Skullcruncher and Elita. I will pick up both of those

I have finally picked up all the deluxe class figures for Earthspark so far. I didn't intend to, but that's what ended up happening. I should have all the pieces for Mandroid. But I can't find them anymore. I stuck them in a baggie when I had to move everything into the basement while painting the house and have not recovered them yet. It's not like I'm terribly invested in building a Mandroid but now I have half a dude just sitting around.

Below you will find both a quick written review and video review of the upcoming Cyber-COmbiner two pack from the Earthspark line which has a transformer combine with a human who is in an exosuit.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Once again another early Christmas present in the form of the Cyber-Combiner two packs showed up from Amazon. The Bumble and Mo Malto set is fun and takes the Crash Combiner concept to a new level. The increase in size allows for more articulation for each figure and the combined mode. Yes, there are some hollow bits on both figures and the combined modes but they all feel solid with some heft. Bumblebee and Mo Malto are fun figures for big and small hands alike.
