He was warned. He was given an explanation. Nevertheless, he persisted.

Bubbling Under: Unreleased Generations - only seen in instructions but it made it as far as having a Hasbro product number so there must be a prototype or something somewhere. LG EX Hardhead Head - Not as good as the same head mould on the Hasbro version, Hasbro grey beats Takara beige. 5) UniverseMould doesn't suit the character. Doesn't really suit who it was made for originally either though! 4) LegendsThis was tough. I prefer the Takara style head *mould* with the cartoon/comic face. He has a bonus Titanmaster vehicle. BUT I don't like the beige, see above, and the way it intrudes onto elbows and wrists. And as for the two tone hips..... 3) Titans ReturnColours MUCH better, especially now we can compare it t=directly to the Takara version with the same head mould. I look forward to getting the Takara head mould in Hasbro colours one day, but have a dreadful suspicion as to how that will be done! 2) NeoLovely Dinobot remould, looks great in Decepticon purple. IIRC there's a pre-release publicity version in slightly different colours. His Dinotron repaint virtually has the actual Hardhead colours! 1) 1987Two Guns. Big toy. Good arm articulation for 87.

I've only ever had the Titans Return Hardhead, so I must sit out this week.

#boxsetmeansboxset
haven't bought a single one, but based on how they look:
5. Devastator 4. G2 Menasor - the Stunticon moulds generally have not appealed to me 3. Liokaiser - love the colours, not sure about the use of the slightly dicey Brawl mould 2. Computron - prefer the UW set, but this gets points for Scrounge and the new feet 1. G2 Superion - would get this if I could at a reasonable price

5. Liokaiser. I like the overall look apart from the ridiculously tiny head in combined mode.
4. CW Computron. Massive minus points for a garbage attempt at Nosecone. Plus points for the feet and a surprisingly charming Scrounge. Cosmos works well in yellow.
3. G2 Menasor. Funky G2 colours and a great Menasor head sculpt.
2. G2 Superion. I much prefer these colours to G1.
1. Devastator. An absolute beast of a bot but the features are much better on the UW one. Although I admit to preferring the colours on the SDCC version and probably wish i'd got that instead.

Not sure there was a CW G1 Superion boxset! In fact you're right, there wasn't. I made him with the individual purchases. Let me go back and change that.

Defensor didn't get a boxset? I'm sure I've seen one. Am I just confusing it with Unite Warriors?

Post by Philip Ayres on Feb 24, 2017 15:38:31 GMT
I think so, there is a UW Defensor set.

The only CW boxset I have is Scrounge with Computron which was a gift from fine people. Due to general busyness and a backlog of things I have not had the chance to open it yet as I want a full evening to savour it. Looking forward to it though!
I have UW Devastator though and it is fab.

Week 199: Combiner Wars Boxsets Missing Out: Devastator Unite does it better with better figures with more weapons. But, as I've said many times, this doesn't quite hit the spot for me and I think it should have been the same size as other CW combiners with limbs that could be swapped over to other combiners even if an arm couldn't become a leg. Victorion Someone is colour blind a Hasbro, dreadful colour combination. Nothing wrong with it apart from that and the assembly error. Megatronia shows how good this could have been. It's reuse of Hotspot may have killed the possibility of G2 Defensor..... Predacus Oh they're trying, bless them. The Tripriducs team plus two extra limbs made from their in show agents. But the torso doesn't work and Ravage's head is shocking! Top Five: 5) G2 BruticusGeneration TWO. That means GENERATION TWO SYMBOLS, not the normal Decepticon ones. Shockwave isn't mad enough either. 4) G2 SuperionAs we'll see I LOVE CW Superion. But somehow the G2 redeco doesn't rock my world like it should. 3) LiokaiserTrying very hard and very nearly pulls it off. 2) ComputronObviously we like this set for giving us Scrounge. But Andy K's right, somehow without the remoulding and with the wrong limbs this manages to be better than the UW version. The Strafe genuinely is better as an individual limb! 1) MenasorI don't like Menasor, the CW version is weak as Menasor and yet the G2 CW version is completely Radio Rental and looks amazing!

No, Phil, no, swapping limbs for Devastator would have been awful! You couldn't have a car for a construction vehicle robot arm!!!

This Jeff Goldblum quote might become my epitaph:
"Yeah, but you're so preoccupied with whether or not you could that you didn’t stop to think if you should.”

Various 1980s Japanese publications showing you how to switch limbs between your combiners!
I suspected it might cause you some difficulty ......

Not Ultra Magnus ( Week 27) though I can see how you got there with the whole hammer/Thor thing.
