Would be interested in buying a CW G1 Dinobots combiner. that had Four Deluxe limbs bots and One Voyager Grimlock. Only having to spend Hasbro's American price under $90 would be great.

Mildly liked the CW Powerglide toy enough to buy it. Only bought it for it's targetmaster combiner ability. Have no interest to buy repaints using this toy.
Like the idea of a G.I Joe Transformers toy cross over. but it has to be a great character, nice design and big toy that I like. Like doing a bigger, better character like Optimus, Megatron, Overlord, Sixshot, Shockwave, Seekers.

I really want them to make a Dinobot Beast toy.

Yup.
I came across my small stack last night. I'm torn on what to do with them. So for now they sit in the same box with all the instructions.

What's not to like. TF and Joe is like PB&J. He's a buy on sight in my book.

I like him. Not enough to troop build, I'll definitely get one. I'm just underwhelmed because of how long it'll take him to get to Edmonton

Wasn't it based on the Megatron design from the Dreamwave Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover that was set in World War II?Seibertron wrote:(the Titanium Megatron toy doesn't count ... it was just a BS bio for a BS toy).

Or as a Powerglide that's been repurposed by Cobra; sorta like that mini-series.
But I don't know if I'll get one.

I think this is a great Warpath. Would I have liked it to have the more traditional chest cannon? You bet! Was I disappointed when this was first announced? Yep.
But I was pleasantly surprised once I had this in hand. I really felt like I was photographing Warpath. I think it was his head that really did it for me. That and the fantastic color that stayed relatively true to the colors I expect a Warpath toy to have. If we didn't have the deluxe figure (who still needs a hand gun by the way), I'd be extremely disappointed with this. However, I've already got a couple of Warpath toys that I already like so I like this different interpretation of him.
My only regret with this gallery is that I missed an opportunity to sneak in the Bot Shots Warpath gallery finally and include him in the comparison shots. One day!

The ex-Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord boasts all sorts of accessories. Removable missile launchers that become a hammer, two separate weapons, and the ghost bot in the machine, Minimus Ambus himself, who converts from moustached robot to Cybertronian vehicle, and sits in the chest compartment of the Magnus armour (probably writing poetry and keeping it tidy). Click on any image below to view the full galleries, and make sure to check out the plastic rendition of the 1986 movie poster!

So what was used to support the figures? Fishing line?
Very well done. Trying to get Unicron that level would have driven me to drink... more

I wonder if this version can b e made to have the old Powered Convoy configurations if you detach the cab from the trailer. Sure, it's a mod, but not much of one and it looks like it could be possible.

Minimus is MUCH smaller than Legends class. Did you see him next to Legends Wheelie?

This CW Magnus looks very nice, and I do want one very much. However, seeing him with his CHUG compatriots, his blatant hollowness, non-painted wheels, and plastic, do look inferior. That makes me a bit sad...

Overall I like him, but some of these Combiner Wars figs have had too many cut-backs to them for their own good, and it leaves me feeling conflicted about them.

No! He can fit! You just gotta BELIEVE!

Thanks everyone! It was a ton of work to set up this shot. Unicron fell on the poor Autobots several times, though it doesn't seem like anyone was damaged fortunately. Maybe I'll notice a paint scratch or something later but nothing glaring at the moment thankfully. I took more photos from this shot but it was way too much work to remove the fishing line from the picture that I used to hold Unicron and the Decepticons up above the Autobots. Here's a before pic of the same shot in a rare "behind the scenes of Seibertron.com's galleries" that I thought you guys might enjoy seeing.

It's just a fun little repaint of legends Megatron no need to get all worked up about it.

New Gallery: SDCC 2015 Combiner Wars Devastator
Still unsure about Devastator? Still unsure about the bling the SDCC version is rockin'? Well check out our newest gallery to help you decide! (I have the retail version in hand and I must say it's worth the money, so while I can't say much about the chrome, I'd imagine if you're an SDCC junkie, this guy is perfect for you!)
Our galleries of the individual bots will be released over the weekend, so you'll have something to enjoy when you come home from your 4th of July celebrations, something that'll make you paw the screen and drool. (And probably open your wallets...c'mon, we only live once!)
Before we head onto the gallery, make note of the special edition packaging, chrome accents and G1 toy accurate paint apps used to match those of the sticker sheet that came with the original many moons ago. (You can see the original in our galleries by clicking right here.)
Without further ado, we proudly present 2015 San Diego Comic Con exclusive Combiner Wars Titan Class Devastator!

Chrome paint is expensive yo. Maybe they blew most of the budget on giving Devs stereoscopic vision. Maybe they got halfway through chroming up the purple bits and ran out of budget.
In all honesty I don't understand the Chrome paint on this. If all the Purple was chrome, it might look great. But the mixed types of paint is kind of distracting.

Purple is a really hard color to get right, especially in photography. A single shift to either red or blue can change the appearance on the image dramatically, while in person it looks totally different.

Oh yeah, I know. I took plenty of Color Theory and Study classes getting my art degree. Even the shade of Green on Devs affects how the Purple looks.
