Munkky wrote:My Unite Warriors Lynxmaster came in the post today, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. The only problem I've had so far is the joints on some of the individual figures are a bit tight, particularly on Trailbreaker and Ratchet, to the point where every time I transform them I get worried about applying too much force and breaking something off. Wheeljack's combiner port also makes a worrying CLANG that's louder and feels more strained than the ports on any other Combiner Wars Deluxe I own. Despite this, I'm pleased with my purchase and I do like Lynxmaster more than Superion or Ultra Prime.

That's just the OT JP way of calling him "GeAR".

Munkky wrote:While my version didn't come with a comic, there is this little drawing on the back of the instructions. You've got the Lynxmaster Autobots putting on a play for Optimus and who I'm assuming is Marissa Faireborne; Sky Lynx is a dragon, Trailbreaker is a knight, Ratchet is a princess (Oh Japan, never ever change), and I think Hound and Wheeljack are doing light and stage effects with their HFG's. I don't know who the three people below Wheeljack singing opera are, if they're characters from Japanese or Sunbow G1 or if they're just entirely new.

Skylynx has marginally different paint apps. I actually dislike the red weapons.
Overall, I was hoping for a little more premium out of this set.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
Takara did use "Sky-Byte" in Latin script for Legends Gelshark, though.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:That's also why no US RiD names are used.

You can even see it in his name: Special Saviour Combiner? It's Skylynx thinking he's the messiah.
The actual Kanji on the box instead translates more accurately into something like "Special Disaster Relief" as Lynxmaster's function.Sigma Magnus wrote:I believe that is meant to refer to how they're a rescue team...
...but hey, you're probably right.
Yeah, the most that looks different on Sky Lynx are the red inside his shuttle mouth (which was gold on Hasbro's), the red inside his lynx mouth (which again was gold on Hasbro's), and the weapons being red (which were gray on Hasbro's) as a homage to Sky Lynx's longer red tail on both Sky Lynx's original toy and cartoon model.william-james88 wrote:Counterpunch wrote:Trailbreaker looks ok.

For Skylynx, I actually thought they were using the hasbro stand in the first time we saw it. There really isnt much difference and whatever difference there is doesnt really make it premium or superior.
It's the cartoon colors. The cartoon model was less colorful than the original stickered-up toy was.Cobotron wrote:And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Wheeljack deco ia an homage to a Diaclone version of the Lancia toy.

I ended up creating what is probably my favorite combined mode earlier
