True, veru true. But is it possible they did not include them for fear of being unable to store them well?
Yeah they use the combiner pieces as weapons.
I think he means individual rifles, like how the deluxes come with a weapon and the combiner piece
I know, but if they had rifles, where would the combiner pieces go?
if they had individual weapons they would attach somewhere in vehicle mode like the original constructicons but when combined i would say they get put aside. why would there weapons need to go anywhere on devastator? he has a big ass gun!
Well I'll be damned. Thanks Takara and WTH Hasbro!?!?

So, we've got G1-style guns for the whole crew, which is awesome. This is also our first look at the shades of green and purple Takara Tomy are using, and both look perfect in my book.
Regarding differences, Hook has silver on the front of his legs and a purple ankle joint. Bonecrusher actually has LESS paint apps, missing the silver on his arms and just leaving them green. Can't tell if Mixmaster has the painted headlights like the SDCC version; doesn't look like it but they're indented so could be the angle.
Bonecrusher's plain arms makes me think they're going with a literal G1 cartoon approach, stripping away paint apps ala Dragstrip instead of finding a balance between the original toy and cartoon.
And the Takara version of Devastator takes the lead, still (largely) sight unseen!

Hasbro's Superion is pretty great. I like Alpha Bravo, but as a limb I feel the propeller takes away from the overall look. I recently acquired Quickslinger, and he looks FANTASTIC but his snow white really clashes with Silverbolts off-white. I'm really clamoring for UW Superionjay5 wrote:Not to take away from Devy chat, but what are your thoughts on Hasbro Superion vs the soon-to-release TT UW-01 version?

Scrapper isn't going to have elbows. The size and weight of Devastator makes this impossible with his arms being the "heel" support of the right leg in combined mode.

Yeah, I notice that in every video review I watch. Glad I'm not alone.

Do you think the TT version will match the paints on those two since they come as a set?

G1 Superion doesn't match either. Silverbolt is off white and Slingshot is regular white.

The white on CW Fireflight and Air Raid doesn't match Silverbolt either.

Aging plastic not withstanding yes. The originals' colors' white aren't 100% matches.

It shouldn't match Silverbolt.

I think they might all have a different shade of white.

Let me also add that using any 3rd party product, no matter how good, to replace Scrappers arms, will fail. The shoulder ratchets on my Silverbolt have loosened to the point where my Superion fell over today due to being top heavy. It, and the other three combiners, have to be posed with a pelvic thrust to counterbalance, if you want the arms forward. Devastator is a much larger toy and elbows on Scrapper will fail eventually.
