They do have a lot of personality! I'm almost regreting not picking up the UW set at TFN a few years back...

I went Hasbro for those because Bruticus was my first combiner. Toy colours was necessary.

Bruticus is one of only two OG combiners I've got, and I think I'd have done a Shockprowl and found the lack of Space Shuttle an unconquerable annoyance.

I'd forgotten about Shitstorm!
Aww man. Shitstorm, the forgotten Combaticon.

Poor lad. Maybe I should draw him too?

I mean as groups. You've got really nice Onslaught and Swindle pics, so they need the other three for a team shot. To complete the best Special Team. You wouldn't have to have a combined form. I've composited four of the five together, and laughed like a loon doing it so I guess that's a positive sign? Got Vortex drawn and inked last night, I should be getting colours on him later today and then... we shall see the final creation. |

No, sure. I just reckon trying his head in line with the top of Vortex's blades might make him look a bit more in charge.

It looks a bit like a band photo. Not that you should go to the trouble of adding instruments...

What do you think they play?
(I'm not doing any more adding to these, but for future interpretations, who knows)

Combaticons have to be metal, right? Though, I fear it might be Nu. There’s something a bit Limp Bizkit about Swindle. I can see creative differences between them. Onslaught being more old school and intense😂
Special teams as music genres: Technobots would have to be to be Dance.
There’s got to be a Micromasters team that could make a funny country band - Off Road Patrol? The one with the drag racer??

I think Onslaught's into classical music, it helps him compose his battle strategies. Brawl just likes hitting things. If Swindle sings, he sings like Mike Patton, smooth as jazz but with a dangerous undercurrent. Not sure about the other two...

Well, Vortex likes torture so maybe a bit of easy listening for contrast? Or 90s boy bands if he’s really cruel or some godawful trap.

Upon reflection, I suspect the Combaticons are a noise/industrial band. They find classy samples and then play around and mess them up. Strong driving beats and screechy discordant noises bought into sharp counterpoint by the lowfi Beck-esque singing.
Soundwave has everything they ever released, first edition and signed.

You might be right, maybe a whisker too big, but that looks bloody amazing to me. Teams is the way forward here.

I just thought, lying here trying to get to sleep, if you put Special Teams above that Combaticons picture but obscured the m with Onslaught's head or one of Vortex's blades, it would read Special Teas. Perfect on a mug!

No, it’s okay, the VA for Prowl has found it now... Not to sound ungrateful, but why is it never for the stuff I put time and effort into... |
