Ultra Powered

In practice, nothing more than 5mm port magic

Though, no one (that I've seen so far) has posted a pic of the five-Powered Master robot mode combination.

Thanks all, just played about with my takara ones (since I'm yet to to find hasbro Twintwist, Misfire & Windblade) and they have plenty of holes in them which made for a few minutes of play with Cog.

There is a way to combine all 5 in robot mode?

It's more a way to attach the four Deluxes in vehicle mode to Dai Atlas in robot mode. The high quality scans of Dai Atlas's comic (now visible in the Legends manga thread) show this configuration in the bottom-left corner of the final page.

well shoot...There's two more toys I didn't think I'd ever want I can add to the list. Depending on how cool it actually looks in toy form....So Whats least expensive these days?... a Legends Twin Twist, or a TR Twin Twist on eBay?

Hasbro on ebay. The Legends toys now are ridiculously expensive and hard to find because they also included exclusive targetmasters (which are proving to be better than the battle masters we are getting now).

I honestly dont think either are great. But I do preffer the articulation on the Takara one I have since it has knees. From what I read, it seems fans are preferring the takara ones.

I much prefer the Takara Targetmasters too. The new Siege ones are okay, but don't quite have the level of articulation, engineering, and most importantly, accurate paint applications and color layouts, of the Legends ones. I'm mainly getting the Siege Battle Masters for the animal characters and the weapon special effects pieces. I'll be mixing and matching parts from the various humanoid Battle Masters to create more obscure characters, like a proper "Nebulan" for the upcoming Generations Selects Ricochet/Stepper figure.

Clear plastic is just like any other plastic. I've had plenty of thin clear plastic last forever and I've had thick clear plastic break out of no where. One of the tusks broke on my TR Repugnus, they're clear and pretty thick plastic and I haven't got a clue how aside from the plastic already being flawed. And I've had the exact same experience with solid plastic. I've never seen any reason to believe all clear plastic has the potential to become become brittle.

This right here. I've never had problems with clear plastic parts on my figures. Some figures have broken out of nowhere, like pieces cracking or crumbling when lightly touched or joints just shearing right off, but all of those cases have been with opaque plastic parts. I think that when plastic does stress, crack, or fail, it's easier to see the extent of the damage in clear plastic, since you can see flaws on all surfaces from almost any angle, as opposed to opaque plastic which can hide such damage if you're not looking in the right place.

I'm so Coo Coo for combiners. If the Autobot Scrum Combination could actually be done in toy form..I'd do it

Best to shop around, I got both Takara versions for less that what it would cost me to get Hasbro Twintwist but it might be harder to find the Legends discounted now.

If you're looking for Twin Twist now, you're going to have to pay aftermarket prices, no matter which version you get. Retailers like TFSource and BBTS had them for several months, but now, everyone who couldn't find Titans Return Wave 5 Deluxes has bought most of them up, along with Windblade and Misfire. Legends Topspin is still easy to find at his "normal" import price of $39.99. If you hurry, though, BBTS does seem to have a few Legends Twin Twists available at that price right now, but I would jump on that as soon as possible.
