Caelus wrote:You know, (in base mode) if you raise those tail fins on Sky Shadow to a vertical position, it looks like a blast shield around a late 19th /early 20th century cannon. Makes his base mode look like a field artillery emplacement.

It would have helped so much with some of the base connections that just aren't compatible due to height. Especially Fort Max. You can connect Blaster to the ramp on Fort Max's arm, but then you get a pretty much vertical ramp, for a mini tank to have to try and drive up. Just 1 universal intermediate piece would make all the difference.

Nexus Knight wrote:This looks AWESOME!!!! I wish I had all these figures, b/c I love the idea of building a "Cybertronian city". I would make each base piece have a specific function (I.E. one would be a storage facility, another may be a refill station). Does Metroplex hook up with these as well? Or can I not see him in these pics?

I can't honestly recall how much we know about Wave 5's composition at this point, but something tells me we weren't sure what the Leader/s were at least, so now I think we can safely assume that Sky Shadow is seeing a re-release in this wave. That'll be nice for anyone who may have missed out the first time 'round!

Its not about new information. The person just wanted to know how to tell that his in package wolfwire was the repack in wave 5 instead of the wave 2 release.

Maybe some 3rd party or someone on Shapeways will make some better ramps/connectors either as replacements or as extensions/add-ons for the existing ones.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Ooh, nifty. I think they should perhaps offer the extra-long ramp and the Fort Max deck attachment as a two-pack (or maybe a 4-pack of 2 of each), since that would give everything needed in a neat package and also improve his fortress mode's looks.

Has anyone done bridges or anything for Overlord yet?

I've shared mine before but I'll do it again. They're not all connected but that's due to I'm not a fan of making them look like a giant donut. I like it looking like a real metropolis

Extensions, short, long, and curved. [I'm not touching that.]

TF-fan kev777 wrote:For those out there with an unbroken Wolfwire, here is what I think the problem is and the best solution to avoid breakage as long as possible. I got mine right as wave 2 first came out and the canopy is still perfect, even though I've transformed him easily 20-30 times.

As other's have said, the main problem is the 2 different materials (plastic and rubber) forming the hinge, and how thin the plastic portion is. The rubber may have a tendency to build up some adhesion to the metal pin when it is left in the same position for a while. Then when you go to transform him, the rubber provides a little extra resistance that the hinge has to work though. The other problem is the length of the canopy itself. Most people would naturally be inclined to open the canopy by pulling up on the end opposite of the hinge. The problem with this is that it causes a torque on the hinge joint. Any opening of the canopy will cause a torque at the joint, but the further you apply the force from the hinge, the greater the torque.

To combat this, I usually open the canopy very gently where the end tabs into his rump, but only enough to un-tab him. Then I open the secret trap door on the robot/wolf chest and push the canopy open the rest of the way open from inside the the cockpit through the trap door, by applying force as close to the hinge as possible, being as gentle as possible.

To close the canopy in wolf mode, or put it down to be his "cape" in robot mode, the same thinking applies, I only apply force to the part as close to the hinge as possible. In fact, some times I won't tab the canopy in for wolf mode and just leave it almost closed to avoid any extra stresses.

So far, so good, but due to the design, I do expect it will break eventually. Good luck on trying to keep yours as minty as possible for as long as possible. The good news is that it appears he still works just fine with the broken hinge, so the rubber portion is both part of the problem, but also the savior from complete breakage (and many, many tears).

That looks good. Arranging Trypticon's tail as a launch catapult is clever.
Also, the more I see TR Trypticon's city mode, the more I think it would be neat if someone made a trailer for CW Motormaster that could turn into his old toy's base mode (minus the cab of course) and link up with Trypticon. And a base mode ramp and connector for CW Onslaught.

Yeah, it kinda is... But then I think those are made-to-order rather than mass-produced. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Whatever you do; DON'T. Hasbro only takes full sets, so everything you send them is a gamble. Half the time they'll send you "replacements of equal or greater value" this would mean 1 blaster and 1 PMOP for SoC. Never trust Hasbro with replacements unless it is not selling well online and is easy to come by in stores.

Caelus wrote:Are you looking at Wolfwire or Twinferno for Fangry?

Uh, no. Wolfwire has nothing useful to offer because his wolf head is robotic in sculpt and his engineering doesn't really line up with Fangry's. I'm not sure what Twinferno would offer either other than the reptile detailing on the body; can his transformation engineering be adapted to Fangry?.
I specifically asked if anyone could think of a particular wolf toy that was a suitable head donor. Not a Transformer, just a toy wolf.

What would the feedback be from fans if Hasbro had actually released a TR Thunderwing which had this bay-verse body? I highly highly doubt it would be met with anything positive.

How did they drop the ball with those two?

The Galvatron mold in itself is great it only suffers with a crappy crown gimmick, and Broadside is good in robot and boat mode it's just got a crap jet mode.


I can think of worse figures then those two.

Galvatron should have skipped the horrendous third mode that creates problems with the other two modes. Broadside has a similar problem in that they only attempted a third mode. Both of those, they added one solid piece to make it a jet. Add in that conversion from carrier to robot is spread his legs, flip the back down, and stand him up. Not exactly the complexity I'd prefer in a Voyager.
