With comics? Has this changed for Canada? I remember back in this topic we had a discussion how Canada doesn't get the comics...

Personally, I've found comic bearing CW Deluxe's at a local Wal-Mart (Wave 4) but it may have been in error? They're the ones I bought and I haven't seen them since. Just cause they're pictured here doesn't mean these fellas will be packin comics though *shrug*.albnok wrote:With comics? Has this changed for Canada?

It appears the mold is fundamentally flawed. Comparing it to my other CW figures, it seems this mold has a particularly thin wall on the port, which makes it prone to cracking.
It's certainly put a dampener on my anticipation for UW Bruticus, given that Vortex is made from the same mold.
TLDR: Don't buy the CW helicopters.

Hand/Foot/Gun port? You mean the port between the feet?
Ugh, it seems the Combiner Wars line is just riddled with small flaws, makes me somewhat happy for skipping it altogether despite my overall love for combining robots. Loose joints I can handle somewhat, it's cracking joints that really gets me. Really doesn't do my paranoia for breaking or otherwise damaging figures any favors...

Aye, the Hand/Foot port, which ends up on the bottom of his foot in robot mode.
I don't suppose anyone knows how to contact Takara do they? I want to bring this to their attention before UW Bruticus comes out, so they have a chance to fix it for Vortex.

If you can't afford to get Takara's Grand Galvatron, I find that the Combaticon limbs look very good on him.

Depends on what you think looks good, if you don't mind mixing allegiances, the aerialbots look nice, and you can even mix then in with blast-off and vortex; otherwise, I have him sporting the stunticons. Personally, I really like the reverse combaticon line up, with brawl and swindle as arms, and blast-off and vortex as legs

With Galvatronus' bio you can mix allegiances anyway

Takara has a call line but they only speak in Japanese. What I do when I want to get something across is I tweet to TFYuki and use google translate to write a simple sentence.

I'd be wary about using Translate.

Besides, I think they're too far along in production to make a fix without causing significant delays...

That might not be true, they should be finishing Galvatron, so if they acted fast enough, they could probably fix this before he comes out in June or whenever

There is one from lunatic prime with dragstrip,offroad, skydive and first-aid. Has anyone tried to combine cyclonus with the wave 4 autobots?
Posted by o.supreme on March 8th, 2016 @ 8:59am CST
Also...I'm thinking we will see UW-06 before the end of April, and UW-07 should be sometime in June.
Posted by Cobotron on March 8th, 2016 @ 10:28am CST
If you take all the pics that were just posted, you probably get pretty much any combo you could imagine. With the mold reuse in the line (not a criticism), if you can just imagine different decos on all the bots you see, than there you have all the different combination options.
It's kind of fun and funny really.

The wave 6 autobots actually look better with him. I have the 3 minus Wheeljack on him with Mirage from wave 4 and it looks really good. and thanks to MTMTE where they are all shipmates, it makes sense
Posted by Hellscream9999 on March 8th, 2016 @ 10:56pm CST
They work as dual rail-guns or gun-swords, and also as dual swords, and the combined mode sword is great

Hot Damn would you look at that. That right there is what I'd call a beautiful combiner he honestly looks so much better than I thought he would, and I was on board with this from the start.

Strafe and Afterburner look interesting, but the rest are completely dull. Scattorshot at least looks less awful than the initial release, but Nosecone is just Brawl with a drill and Lightspeed is literally just Streetwise. Between that, the fact they've abandoned any attempt at parts integration, and my generally sh*tty experiences with CW...yeah, I'm going with Quantron, assuming I even bother with Computron.
Posted by william-james88 on March 9th, 2016 @ 8:47am CST
New hands and feet confirmed, new decco for scattorshot confirmed.
Heavy retool on groove into afterburner, lightspeed is the streetwise mold, heavy retool on airraid into strafe, and out little buddy scrounge is in the mix with targetmaster partner too.
Most excitingly: New feet, with rocker ankles, and brand new hands.
How excited ae you by this reveal? What are you going to do with your previously purchased Scattershot? How do you feel about that take on afterburner? Are you still bummed about the reuse of the Superion head? Let us know in the discussion!

Thats straight up false, BOTH the combiner head and combiner torso is integrated in Scattershot, which was not the case with the G1 toy.

Who knows, maybe they took the light bar off. It seems they put quite a bit of effort into this set so I think it's in the realm of possibility.

The SW version of the mold has always held together better than my DE, who's legs separate and the combiner peg falls out if you so much as look at it funny. While that might not happen with every DE, I'd rather not take the chance.
And besides, you can't see the lightbar in combined mode, which is the way I'll be displaying him.
Anyway, as for my opinion on Comps himself, he can't come out soon enough. I'm excited to get the Groove mold, and he has two of my favorite limb molds and my favorite torso mold. Plus, new hands and feet so I don't have spend $40 dollars on the PE kit.
