So that's what happened...Execs from Hasbro probably heard this out of context and thought the fans wanted another Machinima series, not more toys.

Ah, the problems with TakaraTomy-exclusive limbs... looking at you, Ratchet!

Neither do I, unless they're of a different color and the same size. I still want a red Fire Fighter-themed Ratchet/First Aid a la PCC Smolder

A CW Smolder would be awesome. Future con exclusive maybe?

I get what you are saying. But for me basically - If I could get a Ratchet figure for a decent price whether the Botcon one, or UW one, to me it would make no difference. Once I obtain one, I will not pursue the other. Also for the record, if Seibertron.com ever does galleries for Lynx Master or the BC 2016 build-a-figure. I'd love to see comparison shots of both Ratchet's side-by-side
Well, that's one optional paint scheme. There were five choices for the figure this year: Marvel G1, Cartoon G1, G2, Shattered Glass, and Medix.william-james88 wrote:o.supreme wrote:william-james88 wrote:Thats a different thing.

I would just buy the Lynx Master and sell the rest individually. Because even if you buy the botcon one painted already it doesnt look great. Take a look at the pics: http://www.ebay.com/itm/custom-transfor ... 7675.l2557

So given that I might be getting a replacement Nosecone from TFS Express (might be, I hope) I've had an idea for my Computron.
I don't feel particularly good about the idea of selling him because simply put I don't want to inflict him upon anyone else. However, if as and when I get a replacement Nosecone, I intend to enjoy the living slag out of him for the remainder of his (probably short) life. So I'm thinking about taking my other CW limb figures (sans Rook because he's too cool for conversions) and making them into "auxillary" Technobots via Shapeways/scratchbuilding and the like (plus of copurse a nice coat of paint from the airbrush I have coming in the mail) making a very personalized "ultimate" Computron with a switchable retinue (at least until I can get a Quantron or something similar).
I have an Alpha Bravo, a Dragstrip and a Firefly I could convert, and some of the CW Legends are shelfwarming in my local toy store. I don't particularly want to buy any more Deluxes, but anyway, here's my ideas...
If there's still one there, I might buy a CW Groove and make it into a new, fembot character called Quark. IIRC that mold can make a pretty convincing gun mode for combiners to hold too, so Compy could be even more heavily armed.
Dragstrip I'm thinking could be either a Cybertronian hovercar (switch out wheels for thrusters/grav plates, add wings and techno-greeble) or possibly with a replacement front end a Crumplezone-style rocket trike. Colours I'm thinking could be primarily the stock yellow with the burgandy replaced with a more Technobot-y colour. As for the character and name, I'm not sure. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Firefly is getting made into some kind of 80s retro-futurist space plane...beyond that I'm not sure. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Alpha Bravo I'm thinking might become a submersible of some description (probably orange). Perhaps called Sonar? Maybe even a fembot.
Any other ideas for upgrades/new characters would be very much appreciated.

I got confused because of the mention of the other CW components. So what gave out? Or was it damaged straight from box?

The ports on one of the hands and on the drill armature were stupidly tight, to the point where attempting to remove the little hand-pistol-thing and the drill caused the pegs to just twist off with very little force.
