Pretty sharp looking deco.
It's probably unpaintable plastic.Railbomb wrote:Also, Why didn't they paint the center chest area?
I am at least glad that they did paint what they could on the Combiner Mode torso to bring out as much of the Grand Convoy homage in the mold as possible.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I'm a little saddened that Takara didn't go all out on the Grand Convoy homage with Optimus's deco.
So am I, this ends up being pretty much the same thing as the Hasbro version but with slightly better deco in some places (Mirage and Prowl for instance, Hasbro's sunstreaker is more to my taste).
The fact that they didnt colour the chest blows hard. And yes, that fact alone has swayed me into no longer being interested in acquiring this version.

Actually if they wanted to do that Ironhide would have been orange. Also, Why didn't they paint the center chest area?
Ya, paint doesn't hold so well on the more rubbery plastics. Also there might be a risk of scrapping as that piece rotates in and out of the chest cavity.Sabrblade wrote:It's probably unpaintable plastic.Railbomb wrote:Also, Why didn't they paint the center chest area?

What is a "real" combiner?
Meaning the one in classic canon, not from a 12yo fanfic. I mean, it's funny to see Optimus and Co combine, but they were never meant as a combiner. There's still so many combiners to come out yet without having to pull some out of our asses. Sure some classic characters need to come out in the Generations line, but most collectors already have them so they are kinda pointless... Except for the newcomers to the franshise, of course.
Still, if for some reason they decide to make some seeker limbs, I'm not sure I will be able to resist.
Anyway, there's still many classic combiners to come out, many that will need brand new molds. Bruticus is already announced, but there's still Predaking, King Poseidon, Computron, and some others I may not know.
Speaking of Combiner OC, why not make a DINOBOTS combiner? A Grimlock torso and 4 limbs. If Optimus can combine, so can they. And people have been asking for one since forever. We ALMOST had it with PCC.

I agree that we need all of those combiners you mentioned, but aren't you getting Devastator? I am getting the UW version cuz it's the most g1 accurate, but Devastator was the ORIGINAL combiner. Even though he may be bigger, he still belongs in everyone's G1 cannon collection.

Oh, rest assured that I have Devastator as well. I pre-ordered it from TrU a month in advance and paid lamost 220$CAN. HOWEVAH, one month later, TrU make a sale. 30% off any TFs at 20$+. Sure, Devy sold out fast. Thanks to TrU's sale policies, I could have almost 60$CAN refunded!
