Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide are already in this comic in their G1/CW bodies.o.supreme wrote:Man this gets my mind going....It would be neat if next year they released the Maximal Elders as Magnaboss. I just wonder what vehicle modes they could choose? (Ironhide-a Prime/Motormaster retool, Silverbolt-any Airealbot limb, Prowl-CW Prowl retool) and who would be the 4th/5th members...I know it wont happen...just fun to think about though.

Yes they are.o.supreme wrote:Yes but the Maximal Elders (Ironhide, Prowl, and Silverbolt) are not the same as their G1 namesakes

He is right. G1 Ironhide, Silverbolt and Prowl became Magnaboss.

Transmetal 2 Prowl is Chip Chase in Binaltech Prowl's Alpha BT body, redubbed "Prowl II".o.supreme wrote:Hrmm... I always thought G1 Prowl became the Transmetal Owl in BW that had no memory of his prior existence...

Reflector looks good...in robot mode. That "camera" mode is a clusterf*ck.
Airrazor looks OK I guess. Meh. I'd rather have the Slipstream version of that mold.
Unit-3 looks...alright I suppose? Eh, don't really care. Nice vehicle mode though.
Tigatron is pffffft hahahahaahaahHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hope I can get a hold of someone willing to get me this trip builder set...

Tigatron be like:

But is it worth paying 100+ on eBay? I must ponder this thought.
Posted by Munkky on April 7th, 2016 @ 4:59pm CDT
Tigatron and Airazor don't look that appealing, but I like how Unit-3 has turned out. Custom Class Ratchet does make me a bit sad though, because I hoped Combiner Wars Ratchet would happen at some point....just not as a convention's custom class exclusive figure that has no paint or stickers, and I won't be able to afford one anyway. Here's hoping Titans Return (or even Prime Wars 3 whatever that will be) has room for a new Ratchet figure somewhere.

Unit 3 is another name for Beast War's Under 3.

Somehow, the Souvenirs... I don't know, don't make me so enthusiastic. Maybe because most are more of the same (Airazor, Tigatron). Unit-3 may be the shining light in the set because of his source material.

If anyone wants to part with Reflector, keep ol' Nemmyin mind.

This is why it's the figure I most need from this set. Well that and it actually looks quite good on its own merits.

Hey FunPub, why does a tiger have no stripes? I was so hoping for a tiger striped Lamborghini.
...and that head sculpt looks like the dried shriveled up foreskin of a botched circumcision.
Oh well. Live and learn.

The light blue indicates he's actually based on this guy:

... quite fittingly so.

Second: So Va'al, if you buy a Megatron by chance with no intention to keep, do news crew members get a discount if we are interested???
Posted by YoungPrime on April 7th, 2016 @ 6:27pm CDT
Not just the camera either. Those head sculpts and colors suck to.
I have 3 Legends Soundwaves but I doubt I'll even bother trying that "camera" mode.
