Triceratron for me too. The colours look more realistic - there is a bright colour splashed on each of the others that spoil them somewhat. Not that I know what colour real dinosaurs were of course. They could have been bright orange and red for all I know. Is there scientific proof of their colours? And how did we know what their names were?

Finishes tomorrow Last week I said: we move onto week 2 of 3 for the Dinobots Ooops, counted wrong, only 2 weeks. I think my head was thinking do the two packs but we've already done them. Instead we'll move onto a boxset's contents

Still Wedge - such a neat little toy. The combined mode does look better all in the same colour scheme, I must say.

Wedge is from Star Wars, guys.

This is the other Wedge. One might even say...the thin edge of the Wedge!!!

Wedge can't do any good back there... So for me it'll be Hightower. Because he's a crane, and not just because of his starring turn in the Police Academy films.

Finishes tomorrow.
Heavy Load is near identical to his original version bar some dirt splatter
Think High Tower is the winner for me

Late surge of votes, High Tower wins

I'd vote, but I can't see any pictures, as I'm sat here looking at this screen in my urban home.

Movor, because urban camo (or any camouflage) is so infinitely useful for a space shuttle.

More useful than desert camo though?

Surely Space Camo would help more?

Rollbar. He looks like he’s wearing baggy urban camo combats.

As the Ruination repaints stopped after the desert deco, I always feared the combaticon molds got used up.
But you know, given the way Hasbro loved these guys and Takara's general love of the scrambles, I'm honestly surprised the two never joint funded the resurrection of other combiner teams, if not all of them.

They get one more outing after the Desert Camo set, in original colours in the Encore set. IIRC Burns got one and was really not happy with the quality The Wiki mentions the wear tfwiki.net/wiki/Onslaught_(G1)/toys#Encore

There was an Encore release of Bruticus, so the moulds might have survived?

Movor, because urban camo (or any camouflage) is so infinitely useful for a space shuttle. Or a Seasprite, an Abrams...honestly, this actually feels like one of the rare times all of this lot have a colour scheme that is equally ridiculous on all of them. Another reason why I really like the look of this version. And tbh, I'm having a hard time picking a between them. They are all equally glorious, and equally ridiculous. Karl
