Come to think of it, Voyager Prime is begging for all sorts of attention....

-Powermaster and Godbomber additions
-Nucleon Quest/Black Convoy version
-Fire Guts Ginrai
-Energon homage limbs

I don't care who tackles it (Hasbro, Takara, Funpub, 3P) these need to happen!

[Tigertrack]

The first pic with Thundercracker on Prime's chest gives me a Road Caeser vibe.

I was thinking the same thing. Especially with car limbs. Similar, but not exact.

Looks fun. Makes it worthwhile to look into buying multiples of the legends figures.

I like the triple-black-jacked as well.

I transformed Bombshell very differently, it seems - more like the smart gun from aliens - but I can't upload the pic.

I know very little of GI Joe so if someone told me Human Alliance Icepick was a GI Joe crossover, I'd believe it. Sure looks like one.

Then again, if you told me it was an NHL crossover transformer, I'd believe that too.

[Bumblevivisector]

I vill vait and see if Viper hits Marshall's down the road, so zhat I might get him for $5.75...

So now we have incentive to army-build with other legends besides Skrapnel? Curse my being too patient on Nemesis and Cliffjumper!

[william-james88]

Speaking of Generations Nemesis and Cliffjumper, this pair has finally been spotted at Canadian retail. They were found at Winners, the TJ Maxx owned Canadian Chain (which is pretty much the same thing as TJ Maxx but more apologetic).





These were found in the Quebec area in both Montreal and Laval.

So all this last wave has been pawned of to the discount stores?
I'm going to look for Gears and Acidstorm. They never showed up here.

[koolkollectibleskhai]

With Air Raid now here, the Hasbro Superion looks pretty good. But will definitely be interesting to see how the Takara version turns out with Slingshot replacing the odd-one-out in Alpha Bravo!

Video review uploading now

hmmm. I didnt see any legends when I looked. I'd get an Acid Storm if they had him. The only one I didnt get.

Hasbro's next stab at a Legends Insecticon, Bombshell pulls double duty as a Targetmaster and a chest piece. His gun mode is pretty self explanatory, and his hood ornament mode holds on like all his predecessors.

Bombshell as a gun looks better if you flip the antenna forward (like you would if he was in bug mode) and then lock his arms together. Looks sort of like a sawed off double barrel shotgun that way. Of course, that assumes you can get his arms locked, I understand some Bombshells won't, though mine can if I fiddle with it enough.

But this doesnt use his knee missile launchers though, right?

Knee missile launchers? Are you talking about the gun handles? #confused

Yeah, the fact that there are 2 there, I thought those were the gun barrels and not his arms.

[MaverickPrime]

Really? No one is gonna comment on Bombshell-as-chest's naughtyness potential? Even Prime's pose sugests it xD

[CrankyOldTruck]

Glad to see that 1) my original assessment about the differences in sizes for the Legends figures was wrong, although that sucks because it means my memory must be slipping and 2) that we are able to utilize these toys a bit more than previously thought.
I just transformed my Legends Prime/Huffer/Nemesis mold into the chest-piece mold and I have to admit that it's going to be clunky and certainly for display only. It's neat though. I like it and I'll be using it instead of Rodimus, who I have no intention of picking up, and probably just keep Powerglide as the weapon for the inevitable Prime Combiner I pick up.
Whichever combiner I get for the Decepticon team, I'll certainly be using my Bombshell for the weapon unless I come up with something clever to do with the Legends Megatron/Warpath mold.

[Arctorro]

Arctorro!
What was the one you did with Windcharger?
That was good too.

Completely forgot about him!

Though I believe I was copying others when I did these two.

Didn't miss them!

The TC Superion chest, I thought was somehow... mod'd to fit on there. How does he stay on there? Fill us in!

And Windcharger/Tailgate... I recall trying that out myself when I first got him and I couldn't figure out how to keep 'em in place. Lil help!?

Windcharger just hangs off OP's nipples, the fit at one end is a little tight and you will have to wriggle him around a bit, but just 'ram' him on there With Superion he is held in place by the chest plates. He will fall off easily though.

As for the seeker mould, no modding required.




As long as the joint is tight he will sit in there nice and tightly. Apart from a gap at the top it is like the mould was made for this. Just make sure that Silverbolt's chest is flipped up like normal for his torso mode.

Had to try it. It's hilarious 'cause he just looks regular.

Now I just want to get out all my Cybervese Commanders and go to town. See who else I can hang off Ultra Prime's sweet pepperoncinis.

Really like that one! Can't wait to see what other chest modes you come up with


@AutobotSteve; welcome!

Here's my review of the new Combiner Wars Air Raid. Hope you can check it out



Overall a pretty decent figure, and probably my fav of the Deluxe jets.

One you use as a handle for the gun, the other, just whatever, just turn it to wherever it's least in the way.

Here's my Bombshell gun, sorry for pic quality all I have for pics is a 3DS and its camera blows.

I like it better this way, but I suppose I worded it a little strongly earlier. Since there's no official way, it's not like anyone's wrong.

[Thadicon]

Big new haul today!! Cant wait to start the reviews tonight

Nice haul dude lots of goodies in there. Looking forward to your reviews

Don't do them like Peaugh just did recently with the CW Stunticons the reviews were pretty average at best.A bit disappointing.

Sorry Peaugh but our old mate Chuck did a pretty good job of reviewing Offroad today.

LOL! I kinda like peaugh's reviews. My reviews are nothing fancy to be honest. Uploading now, so any feedback is appreciated

I usually like Peaugh's reviews but this time he didn't go into much depth as Chuck did in his review with Offroad. Just little things like how each Stunticons hand\foot\weapon stores in their alt mode.

I will check your one's out when I get home from work

Awesome stuff Arctorro, and thanks for detailing your process!

That is a clever gun mode. Damn the versatility of these figures eh? The reason I chose the configuration I did, is because i like the way his nose antennae thing as a sight for the gun.
