The only true Scattorshot is the original Scattershot. It has a PHENOMENAL rude mode. I regret moving mine on.

1) Devastator - as it's the only one I own apart from a miss-match Superion made up of Silverbolt, Slingshot, Skydive, First Aid, Blades (and Groove sometimes). Can I cont that as second?
Looking at the pictures of others, I guess Bruticus looks quite impressive too.
And Computron, but only because he has Scrounge on his shoulder.

Week 211: Combiner Wars CombinersYour Top 5 Combiner Wars Combiners please. This includes ones made from individual toys, from the Boxsets, and those issued by the club. 5. CW Bruticus - nice looking combined mode, but I am lukewarm on some of the individual figures (Onslaught and CW Blast Off look great though) 4. G2 Superion - looks great, slightly kicking myself to have missed out on this Have: 3. UW Computron 2. UW Superion - looks great; probably the best looking for my money, but I found him mildly frustrating from a stability point of view. I prefer the 5 jets of UW, and not just "because G1" but throwing a helicopter into the mix with 4 jets looks odd to me. Five jets feels more cohesive and I prefer either that or the full-on diversity of the Combaticons et al. 1. UW Defensor - he wins on stability, and the design gives an impression of being at a large scale. I prefer him in combined form with Groove, but Rook is certainly the better individual figure. -Jim

I only own:
1) Superion (Silverbolt, Air Raid, Skydive, FireFly, Alpha Bravo version) 2) Bruticus 3) Optimus Maximus
The first two are both lovely & scale really well with the Titans Return toys. Optimus Maximus is great as individual figures but combined just looks horrid.

I F***ING LOVE COMBINER WARS!
Yet I own very few of them....
5 Defensor- not owned but looks brilliant.
4 Bruticus- not owned but looks briliant.
3 DEVASTATOR- could be better, but a giant massive giant huge enormbollocks Devastator AT LAST.
2 Menasor. Yes i love Menasor. The Anti-Autobots. It just works. And they fit together great.
1 AUTO-SENTRY. What's the point of 'Combiner Wars/Special Teams if you can't make-up your own?

Week 211: Combiner Wars Combiners Straight out the box the top 5 looks like this: 5) Optimus MaximusPros: Autobot Car combiner. Cons: The wrong colour Optimus Prime. 4) Sky ReignNot sure I can see the connection between Sky Lynx and Autobot Cars but it made a mad combiner with a great rude mode. 3) DefensorNice update but the chest panels, bother their size & shape and their inability to stay attached, annoy me. 2) BruticusVery good update, a decent substitution for the shuttle Blast Off. All it really needs is a silver head. 1) SuperionAbsolutely blew me away when it came out, and I'm not a 1986 Superion fan. The jets, being slimmer, make better limbs while the torso here is the most solid. Fabulous toy. However if I'm allowed my own combinations the top 5 reshapes itself: 5) Defensor4) Bruticus3) Superion2) Galvatronus using Alpha Bravo, Offroad, Rook & Blast-OffGalvatronus' bio sets him up as being able to use limbs from either side so pairing him with all four of the spare limbs (yes I know Blast off *technically* isn't spare) makes a lot of sense and works really, really well. 1) Ultra Prime: Ironhide, Mirage, Prowl & SunstreakerOptimus Maximus with the right colour Prime in the middle. I've wanted an Optimus Prime/Autobot Cars combiner for a long time and this combination, seen on the Japanese UW-05 Convoy Grand Prime hits the spot. Fab toy.

Good God that is a horrible video.
Videoing acts of depravity like that oughtn't be tolerated in polite society.
