I went to my second choice, BigBadToyStore, and pre-ordered Baldigus for the MUCH more sane price of $159.99. What gives with the $40.00 mark-up at TFSource? Yikes!

Prime already has massive gorilla arms.

Hmmm...perhaps one of our resident Transformers media buffs can answer this one for me. Where does that red rectangle on Takara's Unite Warriors version of Trailbreaker come from? It's not from the cartoon. The rest of the changes in plastic and paint apps from the Hasbro version certainly seem to be for the sake of screen accuracy. For that matter, why didn't they paint the joint of the combiner peg blue to match the faux windows on his robot mode chest? They did so for Ratchet to give an illusion of a full windshield. Come to think of it, they didn't do that for Ironhide either. Dang.
His cartoon model does have a little rectangle on its forehead, but like you said, it's not colored red in the cartoon. Maybe it's a subtle nod to the original G1 toy's red visor. Or maybe the Takara toy color person/people saw that detail and misremembered its not being colored in the cartoon.Wolfman Jake wrote:Hmmm...perhaps one of our resident Transformers media buffs can answer this one for me.

Yeah, referencing the red visor of the G1 toy and some other fictional appearances is he only thing I could think of, but it's also an odd thing to reference. Takara already released Generations Trailbreaker a few years ago with a red visor, so fans who like that can always fall back on that version. I also wish someone at some point realized that Trailbreaker's gun hand is on the wrong arm! >.< That would have been easy to fix at the design stage.

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.

Here's a rundown of all the versions released so far that have had and have not had the leg error.RAR wrote:RE : Baldigus/Valdigus I hope no one who pays $200.00 for that set gets the leg assembly error - that would be rather upsetting for them if they did.
Bad enough that it's shown up on both G2 Onslaught and Vicky's Torso both.
I would guess the error has shown up on some Hotspots and Normal Onslaughts as well. But if you got that on Valdigus/Baldigus or on the Mrs Megatron & Friends set that would be pretty annoying to get a toys with huge impaction marks in the legs and parts on wrong.

The widespread leg misassembly that plagues practically every version of the G2 Onslaught (I typo'd above, I'll correct that after I make this post), Pyra Magna, and TFSS 4.0 Bludgeon. The knee struts on all these figures are reversed on both legs, preventing the knee assemblies from properly locking into place in robot mode.Nemesis Maximo wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Here's a rundown of all the versions released so far that have had and have not had the leg error.RAR wrote:RE : Baldigus/Valdigus I hope no one who pays $200.00 for that set gets the leg assembly error - that would be rather upsetting for them if they did.
