The Technobots look gorgeous. Can't wait for those. I'm almost tempted to double dip on Bruticus too because he's my fave of the Scramble City combiners - but that's just mad.

Holy hand grenades that looks FABULOUS!
Best combiner yet?
I can even forgive the feet if it's going to look like that.

Yeahhhhh. I think I might actually look into the PE upgrades for this guy, he deserves decent hands and feet.

I liked the hands and feet.
I've had the Victorion experience and now I like them even more!

Computron looks great, I can still see myself getting both though. They even made the Breakdown mould look good. But dammit, Computrons head is perfect for Botcon Magnaboss.
I still have no idea what is going on with Bruticus, it just looks a mess.

Yeah, her hands and feet are kinda disproportionate. Hands too small, feet too big.
And the feet kinda don't go anywhere non-combined (more of a "part of pyra because we say so" deal), while the hands definitely have nowhere to go. (They could hand so easily plugged into the underside of the foot!)
The handfoot guns, while awkward, are guns. And they may be a bit disproportionally too big as hands and too small as feet, they aren't that far off the mark.

This I also dont understand. Why did the custom class Ratchet end up with so many black and grey parts. Unless the answer is to do with not using exactly the same colours as Takara I really cant figure it out. And even thats a bit weird as the custom class started out using unassembled retail toys. |

The main problem is the colour is mucked up on Blast Off and, to a lesser extent, Vortex.
The combined mode chest plate colour is a function of it being meant to match Blast Off and be his shuttle wings.

I am confused by the Ratchet pictures. Is that toy being released in UW?

Yes. These are the Ratchet deco options from the custom class: Compare and contrast:   [/a][/quote]This is the Ratchet that's being sold as part of Unite Warriors Lynx Master, the Japanese Sky Reign, and forcing arch Sky Lynx hater Andu to buy one |

Lynx Master? I must have missed that!
I imagine this Lynx Master thingy is probably a cheaper way to obtain CW Ratchet than the Bocton custom class one?

See tmukhub.proboards.com/post/243522/threadDue October Certainly an easier way of getting one with a nice paint scheme. Cheaper..... Not sure. I wasn't looking at what Botcon Ratchets were doing pre announcement but I image the value has fallen somewhat. BTW if anyone wants to sell me a Medix head..... |

I am sure Andu losing a custom class Ratchet head to pink energon is why this new release exists.

Does look awesome, but isn't Swindle missing his foot?

I think it is for balance purposes, I don't think he'd quite be able to hold that pose with a CW foot on Swindle.# Either that or Swindle realised he could sell the foot to Victorion at a profit... Now he just needs to persuade Brawl to part with his and he can add a bit to the asking price for "match grade" pair... Karl |
