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.

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.

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?

I bought the Generations Tankor and have been reading the Dark Cybertron storyline therein. In the issue with the aforementioned figure, there is a part where Ultra Magnus and Co are traveling through Metroplex and they decide to get out and look for something. They do, and end up in a big circle back where they came from. It is then revelaed that one of the minicons had seemingly planted a bomb on their escape pod/ship, and proceeded to blow it up. Then, a few panels later, they were crusing along int he ship like nothing happened?

WTF?

For some reason, every copy of the comic issue that was packed with the Tankor toy was printed with its pages horrendously out of order. The pages are fine in the original non-toy printing, but no one really knows what happened with the toy pack-in version.

I wondered what hell happened......

Can you fill me in briefly? How did they get the ship back together or how did they get out of Metroplex without the ship?

Pages are out of order in the pack-in comics. For the correct order, go pick up More than Meets the Eye #26 in Tankor's case.

Wait a sec, they arent releasing all the aerialbots in wave one?!?!?!?!!?

The wait for an updated Superion is killing me enough as it is, I dont know how I will be if I have a superion missing one limb for months!
