Think I've decided to go for Winged Dragon, hoping they have a Tigatron in the works to complement. Just don't see TakaraTomy doing these two figures.
Robot Kingdom or OhMyPrimus are comparable prices. I've ordered from Robot Kingdom before, what are people's experiences with OhMyPrimus?
Ty!

Machrob sounds like the Scottish version of Gobots. Weapon of choice: broken Buckfast bottle.

I've had one thing arrive with no poker and another due next week so we shall see!

I thought Steam Robo SUCKED. Eagle Robo on the other had was amazing, I've only got 4 of them but that is the best of that bunch by quite some margin

The action toys seem to be either hit or miss. There are three levels. They either- • Knock it out of the ballpark • Hit a home run • Or the batter catches the ball out of thin air, gently hands it to the catcher, and shouts "IIII'M OUT!!!" for the umpire.

I normally use Kapow, but they don't carry it. Used TFSEx' previously, but got miffed after their 'loyalty' scheme rewarded less loyalty (as documented in another thread, let's not get into it again). Guess I'll be going back in this case.

It'll be fiiiiiine. It's not like I'm totally perplexed as to how they can make a figure that cost without making a few quality compromises...

This is hysterical. Generation Toy's First Aid comes with a battle caravan that has the Defensor combiner parts in it. No, really.

But what would Shockprowl have in his battle caravan?
And how would such a towed item stay upright as he takes those sharp corners at speed, as he is prone to do on the way to a call out?

What's hysterical is that in 2019 designers still can't incorporate combiner parts into the figures themselves. And I don't mean 'attach as a supposed weapon'... We can all still see that they're feet/hands hanging off that car/robot.

Hmm. MMC have done that with their Bruticus and the results aren't that good. There's been a fair bit of discussion about this, the more popular companies like Zeta and fans Toys will tell you that if you want the right aesthetic for all three modes (ie a refined toon style) you can't have integral combiner parts. Combiner wars figures are great, but if you want something that looks like Zeta's Superion you have to accept that extra parts are going to be necessary. I'm fine with that because the end results look so good and the original G1 combiners had extra parts anyway.

I think that rather than have integrated parts, Combiners should have extra robots that actually become the feet, hands, pants, head etc.

Wow... That's.... That's AMAZING!!!! I thought you'd like that. The New Age figures do seem to be the nicest looking of the 3P Legends figures.
