Quickslinger has been out since May 22nd, or am I misunderstanding what you mean?Sparky Prime wrote:I finally found Air Raid today, so my Superion is finally completed (unless I get "Quickslinger" when he's eventually released but I'm undecided). Can't believe how hard the second wave (save for Silverbolt and Motormaster) has been to find.
He is? Let me see... Oh, he's an online exclusive figure. I thought he was going to be released in stores.JediTricks wrote:Quickslinger has been out since May 22nd, or am I misunderstanding what you mean?
Jesus Christ is Victorion bad. I mean it's fucking atrocious. I guess they used two of the same figures for the legs so that they could give her high-heel combiner feet because how else are we supposed to know it's a fembot, right? I do like her weapon, though.JediTricks wrote:SDCC news showed off CW Victorion and G2 Superion boxed set this morning, and right now I just heard from a friend that the panel announced G2 Menasor boxed set as well.
Too bad about Victorion's harsh teal and red coloring.
Silverbolt is getting remolded as Scattorshot, but no other Technobots, so he's forming "Betatron" with random limbs.
Combiner Wars getting animated content from Machinima.
The feet are interchangeable pieces, they have nothing to do with the leg choices. They gave the fans the choice of what vehicle to use for both legs, and those fans chose helicopters.Almighty Unicron wrote:Jesus Christ is Victorion bad. I mean it's fucking atrocious.

Yeah, the colors are really terrible. It's kinda interesting having a combiner with a matching color scheme but... Not those colors.JediTricks wrote:Too bad about Victorion's harsh teal and red coloring.
Disappointing they won't be giving Scattorshot the other Technobots, or even a new combiner head for 'Betatron'. Just looks like a red Superion with random limbs.Silverbolt is getting remolded as Scattorshot, but no other Technobots, so he's forming "Betatron" with random limbs..
I just don't get why they need to have two of the same mold for limbs. They already have the molds! Why not give her something else like literally every other combiner?JediTricks wrote:The feet are interchangeable pieces, they have nothing to do with the leg choices.

The colors are really hard to get past, I'm hoping that's just pre-production issues.
One of the heads for the cars is based on Nightbird.
I can only hope that this is a case of pre-production looking different from final model, but honestly the art says this is it and it's not working. I do agree that matchy-matchy combiner is an interesting idea, and I applaud them for giving each figure a unique head sculpt.Sparky Prime wrote:Yeah, the colors are really terrible.

They also gave it side-hinged feet, which is nice since flat-footed poses are more stable than edge-footed the way the regular figures are now. And they gave it real hands. But that sword combo is definitely the thing I locked onto fastest.The individual weapons that combine into a sword is really cool though. Sadly I think that's probably the best thing about the figure.
They didn't mention the other Technobots, they won't be coming when Scattorshot is released, but I suppose they could be planning them down the road. I wouldn't count on that though.Disappointing they won't be giving Scattorshot the other Technobots, or even a new combiner head for 'Betatron'. Just looks like a red Superion with random limbs.
Me either, although Superion doesn't look that bad.Can't say I care for the G2 repaints of Superion and Menasor. Just never been a fan of the G2 colors.
Were I to hazard a guess, they wanted voting to be easy so they offered pairs of an idea. It's not like it would have cost them one red cent to use different molds they already have, after all. And they only have 1 mold for a helicopter.AU wrote:I just don't get why they need to have two of the same mold for limbs. They already have the molds!
