I have discussed this with a few folk. If I can only afford one CW/UW boxset that is the one I would go for as it is so bonkers, even more so than the G2 sets.

I don't like the finished combiner but individually it all looks brilliant.

Grand galvatronus is so much better in hand. Also is it me or does starscream feel rubbery lol

Yes, there's something of a rubbery quality in places. I suspect a slightly different grade of clear plastic to normal.

It is probably for the best given the historical problems Hasbro have had with clear plastic and lots of moving joints!

Oh yes, anything to make it more durable!

And new joints for arms. I didn't expect the swivel joint either. Headsculpts are all nice too and I actually prefer the cyclonus repaint as galvatronus.

Out of curiosity do you get the uw coins with sets as I didn't get one with grand galvatronus

Post by Toph on May 1, 2016 10:52:46 GMT
Nope. The coin is some kind of exclusive.

The coins are Hasbro Asia exclusives. If your supplier got stock from Takara Tomy then no coin, if they got it from Hasbro Asia then coin.
There is a coin for Grand Galvatron.

I've got one for Defensor from Kapow but Galvatron, same retailer, didn't have one.

And new joints for arms. I didn't expect the swivel joint either. ? The bicep Swivel was there on the earlier use of Starscream. The elbow joints are the same on Starscream and Thrust as they were on Sky Dive and Air Raid. What I hadn't noticed is that Starscream/Skydive has a different pin in his KNEE to Thrust/Air Raid: the Thrust/Air Raid toy has a pin with a much larger head on the outer edge of the arm. This is odd because everything else knee to waist is identical! Headsculpts are all nice too and I actually prefer the cyclonus repaint as galvatronus. It's got something but I prefer Hasbro's purple here and I'm also going Hasbro purple for my Titans Galvatron WHEN THE PREORDER GOES UP! |

Aww man I am soooo stuck with this figure. I don't want both and I had finally decided Hasbro, but this... these look better than I thought. Are there any more from this display anywhere? I want to see Swindle.

Ooo that is nice. I suspect Kapow will be wanting my monies soon for this beast!

Glad I ended up picking up Hasbro Bruticus. TT Bruticus looks a mess.

Who needs a Blast-Off, when you have a Shitstorm?!

Indeed, I will be opening Shitstorm later, but in package it looks remarkably good.
