As of now, every other torso bot has a complete set of limbs for their combiner forms in my plans, including Cyclonus/Galvatronus, single retail Scattershot/Modulus, Starscream, Elita-1/Elita Infin1te, and Inferno.

This seems to be the general consensus. I know It's what I'll likely do too.Crosscheck wrote:Got mine pre-ordered. I will be moving this Blast Off onto my Bruticus. CW Blast Off will get a new name and become part of the Starscream combiner.
Know I'm wishing I'd picked up that ugly faced BotCon Terrorsaur when I was there.Crosscheck wrote: I just need one more limb and he will be ready to go. Probably another jet, but which one, I don't know.

To be fair, with the May Mayhem figures and now THIS Blast Off paired with the "mind-control-to-use-anyone-as-a-limb" thing from Galvatronus kind of lends itself to having all the extras that get replaced by Blast Off/May Mayhem.
For Starscream I do the Dreadwing bros plus Terrorsaur and SG Starscream. But those are club/con exclusives, so that's not very fair.
For Inferno it would have been SO damn easy to give us a Ratchet and Red Alert.

I do the same. I managed to get Windsweepet for $40. Him, dreadwind and Darkwing and Skyblast(jet blast off) are my Starscream combiner. I was using Thrust but I like Grand Galvatron too much to keep him separate

Definitly going to replace Exhaust with Jet Blast Off. I like Exhaust s a stand alone.
Luckily I picked up an extra Vortex on clearance somewhere. Of course that sets up the whole, heli -in-a-team-of-jets scenario all over again. (which never bothered me in the first place)

Do you have photos of just exhaust?! He looks gorgeous!

UW Completed Cyclonus well (Grand Galvatron). Since the only difference in CW & UW Cyclonus is color, I consider them to be the same. Wheras Starscream, Elita-1, and Inferno will be missing 2 limbs each until Hasbro decides to remedy this. Prior to PotP all Voyagers had 4 Deluxe Limbs, perfect symmetry for me.

I wish I would've picked up UW Galvatronus when I had the chance. For that matter, I wish I would've grabbed UW Sky Reign too then I could've gotten Smokescreen as an extra limb, now they're all way too expensive if they're available at all (and I'm not getting another Sky Reign set just for Ratchet.

I'm planning on getting Cyclonus, and giving him CW Blastoff, once I get the exclusive Shuttle Blastoff to go with my CW Bruticus.
Cyclonus will also get PotP Darkwing and Dreadwind, and then I'm missing one more evil Jet limb for Cyclonus.
Any suggestions? No Alpha Bravo Repaints please since I'm tired of him, and he's not a Jet.

Do you have any plans for Golden Lagoon Starscream?

If you feel like doing custom work, there are several late G1 or even G2 Decepticon jets which aren't seekers:
Windsweeper (also has a Funpub version)
Eagle Eye
Afterburner
Terradive
Windrazor
Fearswoop
Hooligan
Skyjack
Space Case
Wind Sheer

Still really hoping we somehow get Thundercracker and Skywarp from that mold.
Posted by o.supreme on July 18th, 2018 @ 12:06pm CDT
Oh wow...Thanks, and thaks triKlops as well. I saw the Podcast story, but it only showed pics from the animated episode, I didn't think there were any actual toys involved. Also I'm glad Starscream is being sold separately. I'll DEFINITELY be calling mine Sunstorm, and now PotP Starscream will be a little closer to completion.
Still no pre-order links though correct? I want to jump on this as soon as possible so I don't have to play super expensive catch-up like I did with Grand Scourge.

Well, that's kind of the joke isn't it...With the Electrum coating, all 3 look exactly the same, so you cols purchase 3...Unless you meant down the line would make original colored Thundercracker & Skywarp from that mold...

Yep. POTP Starscream needs some proper limbs!

Thanks, but Too golden. And don't think I'll be getting any of the Golden Lagoon figures anyway. But I guess, a Starscream combiner made up of all Starscreams is an option.
Voyager Starscream, plus Ghost Starscream, Golden Lagoon Starscream, and any 2 other Starscreams they decide to release. Mabe Darkwing can be repurposed as G2 starscream?
Possibilities....
I may try to track down a UW Thrust, if its not too expensive. Have a thing for that Armada color scheme.

That's why I'm repurposing him as Sunstorm so the shiny golden look makes sense in a non-circumstantial way.Overcracker wrote:Thanks, but Too golden.

There's also SG Starscream, but he's technically a good guy so...I have him with my BC Prime team until (if ever) I get a proper Modulus.

And gives me an even better idea. Since Skydive already has that evil looking face. I can take some reprolabels and turn him into a decepticon.

Now I don't need to complete the reply I was generating! The sheet's here: https://toyhax.com/for-comb-wars/2257-l ... yjack.html
While the sheet has a sticker/s to change his face to Skyjack's, those with a bit more cash could spring for a whole new Skyjack head on Shapeways. I'll just be doing the stickers...IF I can find an Air Raid!

I'm not 100% sure but I think there might be some mechanism built in to let the two insignia fold away from sight in each robot mode.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Random decepticon: Counterpunch, why do you have an Autobot symbol on your back?
