You never know these days, just look at how NOT different both Springers are. I'm inclined to think it'll be signifigant enough of a difference based on their Superion and Menasor, but we'll all just have to wait and see.Nemesis Destron wrote:I've always been a big fan of Takara but I got a feeling there won't be too much difference between theirs and Hasbro's.

Indeed!

High expectations are high expectations. Remember, the silhouette gig has been done before with Superion and Menasor from the same line. And all we got were different decos.

Let 'em dream JZGR. Trouble is, reality ain't too much a friendly mistress The mold is done. Unlike the first two gestalhts where the heads were remolded adding new "articulations" so late in the cycle is just not POSSIBLE!
Guy and gals..........Tomy will just repackage theirs with more bling (box, instructions and paint additions or subtractions). That's all.
One thing that's weird is that Defensor hasn't gotten the hype treatment yet. Maybe the release cycle will be:
Superion + Menasor + Devastar then Defensor? Unlike the domestic with Defensor first being released.

There's a lot off with Devaststor. The size, the individual robot articulation, forearm integration (I know that's more G1-esque, but it's not my preference). Still, I get the constraints Hasbro has to deal with, and think this is an awesome value for what it is. I can also see several 3rd Parties stepping in to fix some of the issues people are complaining about.
So I'm in. And if they show up for CostCo, I'm in for 2 (at least).

Why do you keep calling it a "kiddie toy"? None of us have it in hand yet, so we can't tell what the quality is like. I also kinda disagree on the 6 deluxes, I think it's awesome that we're getting a massive devastator, for a really reasonable price.

Redundant topic which has been regurgitated for the upteenth time by the same source but I'll also chime in. As scaling in the original show is so waaaaaaay out there, having big @rse contruction vehicles over deluxe TF makes sense.
Mass shifting not withstanding, the Constructicons SHOULD be bigger than normal cars. Take this picture reference:
If we are to suspend a bit of belief and apply some real world physics, the Constructicon and Combaticons should be waaaaay bigger in vehicle mode. Aerialbots? Well maybe Silverbolt. So Devastar's size is just about right not withstanding the very minute voices of dissent.

A Six-Piece Combination

Alternatively, "Combination" can be swapped out for "fusion", "merge", "union", etc. and "Six-piece" could instead be "Sextuple".SW's SilverHammer wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Roku-tai Gattai!

That makes a lot more sense. Google kept insisting that Roku-tai Gattai! was Portuguese for...Roku-tai Gattai!

Asking for toys to be made smaller only has merit, if it gets done all the time.
Think it's only been done twice with HasTak and that was over Ten years ago.

There upgrade will be a set of permanent connectors to attach to the toys that prohibit them from ever again separating from combined gestalt mode. With a bonus scorpion gun robo.megatronus wrote:Counting on Perfect Effect to release an upgrade here...

Personally, I'm hoping for a set of limbs (don't even care who) done in colors that look like they go with him.

Re-colored Nemesis limbs would be awesome here, just as blue/purple sweep/armada limbs would be awesome for Cyclonus. That's the genius of this line - repaint potential up the wazoo! Hopefully eHobby capitalizes on that.

Yep. I've got the JP versions of Springer and Blitzwing, and the Hasbro Sandstorm.

I kind of don't like the gold. The RID Laser Prime Scourge has the best evil-prime deco in my opinion.
Nemesis limbs would be great, Destructicons all over again!

I'm still chasing the dragon that goes by the name humor. Maybe one day I will catch the bugger. But for now, just like collecting TFs, I will have to settle for just enjoying the hunt.

I wouldn't search for it. Slash fiction is the bane of every and any fandom.
