Ooh, now I'm tempted to go looking at how many toys each G1 combiner member has had.RiddlerJ wrote:Is Silverbolt the combiner member with the most toys?
As popular as the Constructicons are, all of them are left in the dust considering the number of figures they have. Onslaught my be second in the number of figures.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

I noticed it many moons ago, but thought others might have brought it up already...
but lately when i read the comment of many peepz let me suspect otherwise...
study them closely u will see what i mean:
1.the palm fold back, which forms the base of the heel
2.the thumbs folds, which become the heel itself
3.the 4fingers fold into the flatfoor cavity

I honestly thought that was common knowledge, otherwise would've mentioned it.

It was common knowledge, as was the fact that the connector piece is along their torso. And since it's scramble city style and everyone can be an arm or a leg, it only makes sense that the accessory serves a double purpose. Actually, it's a triple purpose since it can also be used as a weapon.

I know some people are complaining that they look a little goofy in bot mode, and the transformations are simplistic, but considering these facts, each limb bot has a total of 4 modes. on a deluxe class sized figure and price point. Arm, Leg, Bot & Alt.
It took them 2 years of QC to get Voyager Triple Changers (close to) perfect.
It's surprising they look half as good as they do.
I just wish the Knuckle guns where removable/hidden in hand mode.
william-james88 wrote: However, I dont mind the knuckle guns there, they remind me a lot of G1 predaking.
Oh wait, even though he was never a scramble city, could those gestalt hands be an indication that Predaking is the other Decepticon combiner in that line? There is still hope!

When will Hasbro admit they're doing that just for nostalgia's sake?
