Insurgent wrote:Who is Battle Gear/Gaia and why do people want him?

Battle Gaia was a redeco of G1 Bruticus released by Takara in 1992 during the Operation Combination line of the Japanese G1 era. He, like his Autobot counterpart Guard City (a redeco of G1 Defensor) is desirable for how obscure and rare he is, having never been reissued nor having appeared in much fiction beyond the original Operation Combination fiction and some minor fanwanky Japanese fiction of recent years. And because his deco looks cool.

That Baldigus set is gorgeous!

It's an instabuy for sure.

Huh. Cool. I knew about Guard City (Red Hotspot, right?) but never knew about the Bruticus repaint either.

EI'll be getting Baldigus...

I must say though, I know the baby puke tan is accurate to the Takara version of the character, and I wouldnt expect Takara to do anything less. But blech. I do not like it. Nope.

Still, looking forward to my TFSS Scourge having some actually accurate Commandos, and not the Energon guys.

Cool x Infinity!

The only problem I've had so far is the joints on some of the individual figures are a bit tight, particularly on Trailbreaker and Ratchet, to the point where every time I transform them I get worried about applying too much force and breaking something off. Wheeljack's combiner port also makes a worrying CLANG that's louder and feels more strained than the ports on any other Combiner Wars Deluxe I own. Despite this, I'm pleased with my purchase and I do like Lynxmaster more than Superion or Ultra Prime.

Could you take some pics of the toys and their box if possible to show us? Especially Ratchet since that toy is totally new.

Apologies for the poor quality, I had to take these pics on my phone:






More pics to come.

(Combiner Wars Bruticus is the only Combiner I have on hand for a comparison right now)


While my version didn't come with a comic, there is this little drawing on the back of the instructions. You've got the Lynxmaster Autobots putting on a play; Sky Lynx is a dragon, Trailbreaker is a knight, Ratchet is a princess (Oh Japan, never ever change), and I think Hound and Wheeljack are doing light and stage effects with their HFG's. I don't know who the three people below Wheeljack singing opera are, if they're characters from Japanese or Sunbow G1 or if they're just entirely new. Optimus, Marissa Faireborne, Ironhide, Hot Spot and someone else (I can't tell who it is) are in the audience.

Smokescreen was cool and all, but I'm so jelly they got Ratchet instead.
