Where's Elita's combiner head?

I'm blown away by Hungerr/Abombinus there were SOO MANY little touches they did to that mold they *didn't* have to do. The automorphing with the fins, the *extra* fins on the shin panels!
As for Elita Uno it's amazing how much a deco/color layout changes the figure. I couldn't stand starscream in Torso mode... but somehow... I'm fine with hers. Her thigh/wrist also being white with the red/maroon gauntlet does subtle wonders for breaking up that "hulk forearm".

She didn't come with one. She just sits in the top and drives that giant thing!megatronus wrote:Where's Elita's combiner head?

While I like Cobotron's reply better....
Her combiner head is extremely similar to her regular head, so much so that you almost have to look at them side by side to tell. IMO, that's the one thing Starscream's torso mode does better is the gestalt head.

Thanks cobo, I can always rely on you to bring the pics
Both look fantastic in full on combiner mode. I really hope these make it to UK retail.

Good shots, Cobo! Reaffirms my decision on both figures. Hun-grr is a must have, Elita-1 is a pass.

I'll get her, not for torso mode that's for sure, because that looks like total bollocks, but because it'll be the first figure I have of her.
Plus I don't want her mold mate.

I know this is a bit late, as it was like revealed almost a week ago, but I am just getting around to seeing it.
I am so loving Snarl,
, those "in hand" pics of him do him some justice, it could just be that he has always been my favorite Dinobot
, but I think he is the best of the newer (updated) group as well.
And I am also glad that we are getting more "classic" female Autobots
for the line, combiners or not, I just think it is awesome.

I want to comment on Elita 1's gestalt physique, but I'm worried I'll get into trouble for "Titan Shaming" her...

"It looks like crap"
Problem solved.

Ah, ever the wordsmith, Sir. It does, indeed, look like fecal matter.
However, I actually think her regular mode looks pretty good. I actually like the stickers. It's just that the placement of them is sloppy.

I really do like her individual modes (won't comment on the stickers, haven't paid close enough attention), but that torso ... it just looks like a big block of red plastic.
Tack some limbs on and it just doesn't blend. That may be the choice of the bots Cobes used though.
But that's irrelevant to me. I only keep the "traditional" combiners combined. Any additional limbs and torsos stay in their individual modes.

That reminds me, I need to cancel my preorder for Starscream, Optimus Prime, Jazz, etc. I'm waiting on them to get remolds and recolours to get my attention.

We got the definitive Ultra Magnus in Combiner Wars, so just take the easy route Hasbro, paint Optimus black, or better yet, paint him orange. We need a decent modern day Fire Guts!

I'm curious if Elita-1 would look good as an alternate torso for Victorion. Or for that matter Megatronia.

I think fire guts would work well especially since the transformation of pax to chest is reminiscent of ginrai to super ginrai, they probably should of kept the power master prime name for this. Ah well, what can you do...we need a shrugging emoji.
@primalxconvoy wouldn't you be waiting a long time to get those then since takara will only be doing exclusives for this next line at least?

My Elita will be remaining in Robot Mode, just like Starscream. I think that torso is terrible.
