I'm not a big fan of the single bot modes, but I'm loving the Gestalt, so if I got the set I'd keep her in that

Also, that G2 Superion, just brings back bad memories of my G2 Slingshot, and the curse of Brittle Gold Plastic Syndrome

The twin helicopters aren't exactly the same. They have different heads and their Autobrands are on opposite sides of their chest.

I think people are too quick to judge. Bad paint job and bad lighting. I want to see the official pics and the actual toys before I decide if it's terrible. That being said, I wish they weren't all the same colors, but I'm curious to know what the fiction will be for these. Are they a special team? Did they all get new paint jobs when they started combining?

Also, if they've showed G2 Superion and Victorion already, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO REVEAL AT THE PANEL!?!?!? :shock:

Look at it this way folks, the color scheme is very end of G1/early G2 colors and it is. It's not that bad when you think of the old predators, pretenders and power masters

Ugh. That colourscheme is horrible (although the rough gloss paint isn't helping at all). As for the molds, the torso bot is kinda cool, but the limbs range from OK to GUH.

On the plus side, the sword is really cool, and so are the hands and feet. Though what they're going to do outside of combined mode I do not know.

The twins have asymmetrical paint schemes. They also seem to be mirrors of each other as well. So for those of you who don't like them, maybe you can take them apart and reassemble them so that the asymmetrical, mirrored pieces are all uniformed on the two of them. That way there's a chance they'd look less similar to each other with the reds and teals being in different spots on the two of them instead of being half and half on those areas.

It might be what you're getting, but I sure as hell won't be getting her. Aside from the (honestly kinda neat) torso bot, they look pretty dreadful. Not to mention that this makes, what, 5 uses of the Alpha Bravo mold with bare-bones retooling? And those colours...That horrible mouthwash teal and fresh-period-blood red...

Between Wave 2 getting skipped in the EU and the sheer amount of laziness with mold-recycling (seriously Hasbro, enough with the pointless '84 Autobot limbs and save the budget for more molds or better retooling for the actual combiner teams) I am fast going off Combiner Wars.

Something is not right about Victorion's colour mapping.
Overall though, she looks good. The molds and the new heads work well, and the colours-in theory-have their charm, but it's not working as is.

Biggest gripe-a retool of Bravo with new arms exists and it WASN'T used for Vortex??!! :-x

It's not just that the helicopters have the same color scheme... or that Alpha Bravo never gets anything more than a head swap across 5 different toys now... it's that they don't look remotely feminine. The torso figure isn't much better, really boxy. At least they managed a little something by adding to the Dead End & Breakdown chests.

This is just what I was afraid of. Maybe they should have overridden the poll results and chosen molds that were easier to feminize.

And aparently, Hasbro can make a dedicated hands and feet if they want to. This should have been the case at the very start of CW line, dedicated hands and feet and combining weapons.

This is a special set given special treatment. All the other CW toys (sans Devastator) don't warrant as much attention given their ordinariness.

It's pretty neat one has a visor and another has a faceplate, as lady bots for some reason don't typically get little things like that. But overall this set does absolutely nothing for me.

Well no. Hasbro provided us with a tiny handful of options to choose from, and without any clue on how it'd fit together. Did people vote for two helicopters, or did Helicopter coincidentally win twice? We don't know.


Plus the color option seriously underplayed how prominent that red would be:
