Another great review! I love Combiner Wars Transformers, even though the color scheme of the Victorion 'bots reminds me of Triple Protection Aquafresh toothpaste!
After six long years I got one of my white whales, G2 Bruticus. After trying to transform it I realized it had a QC issue. Did some googling, figured out about the knee issue. Headed straight for your para magna video to see you how you fixed it. Thank you for having that information easily accessible. Forums are great but seeing someone actually do it themselves and have something to say about it is very helpful. As always, you're awesome Emgo
Ya know why you rock so hard man? 1) if I'm looking at buying someone, you've got it, and I can watch the review. 2) you're not a masterpiece snob. Not all of us can afford to collect masterpiece, yet want to collect. 3) once my new figure in question arrives, I can watch transform it, and still claim I didn't read the instructions lol. Love ya buddy, just felt like telling you that you're appreciated.
I'm sure you've probably already filmed it, but for your comparison with defensor you should use the original mold limbs. it'd be funny to see him all scrabbled city.
I'm going for 86 movie, and in order to facilitate my being able to, I got my wife into collecting. She's collecting all the chick bots, from whatever series/storyline. That whole no rhyme or reason thing, chug next to animated, bayverse, just drives me nuts lol. I'm relying HEAVILY on wfc, but if the 86 studio rep is out, that's who I go with.
think all the molds on this one had issues with the arm not pegging in combined mode and the legs in robot mode...but in combined mode i slendered her up a little by keeping the arms flat (elbows pointing inward) and the car hoods pointing upwards...wasnt going to get this set originally but the set being uniformed was a good seller...the colors wish it was darker in colors like green oxidation color and browner rusty color...but hey it us what it is
For bots from the sea of rust this groups vehicle modes are very terran. Also, is there much need for a fire truck in the sea of rust?? Surely some kind of 4x4 truck thing would have worked better.
You know. If I has the ability to repaint my own toys, I'd take a random set of combiner wars characters, repaint them in black and red and any other colors that work with that, name them all something related to you, and then send them to you
You do know if you read the comic books of combiner wars you can take Optimus Prime and combined with a bunch of Decepticons because the Wars ended in peace is going
Is it just me or does she have a steampunk vibe going on? Side note: The battle Ax/Pike reminds me of the Aquila from Warhammer 40K, at least vaguely, anyway.
I will admit if they where to sell them Individually I would buy her, if just to have her in robot mode. That way when AT comes out, well....she can fight with the OTHER Alpha (not meaning the Bravo, BABY!) til my head hits the pillow to "recharge" Side note: I prefer the chopper girls as arms...but whatever....
It looks like the left are/ hand is missing that red peg that the right one has so maybe thats why its not staying locked in like the right one is for combine mode
Hey emgo316.your defensor chest looks like it staying in place instead of popping out.was yours already ok or did you fix it in some way because i want to fix my hot spot's combiner chest from popping off but i dont know how to do it.sorry for asking in your pyra magna video
lucky lol thanks for answering. i wish there was a way besides sending it back to hasbro that you could fix the few out there with the chest wanting to pop off problem on defensor
Emgo I am making a toy for you I'm wondering when its done would you like to review it its a hot toys you with a lot of acserrios I'm wondering if you want to review it when its done
DetectiveBarricade yeah but there's also a peg hole on the shoulders for combined mode i'm just saying that it probably holds in better on the other side where the peg is then again i have no problems with my hotspot (well almost no problems i have an issue with his right leg connector popping out some times ((the one for combined mode not robot mode)) )
DetectiveBarricade yeah i was just thinking the same with mine that's why i never took it back i had no way to prove it wasn't but guess it wasn't just mine
you know, I think a pair of hueys, and some different cars would have worked a lot better, I don't know why, but both the helicopters and. cars, just don't really go with their faces
That's several years of toys! Generations, Reveal the Shield, Hunt for the Decepticons, Combiner Wars, Titans Return, Power of the Primes, Siege, all fall under Generations
