Please rest assured that this G2 Slingshot won't break like the old one did. For those who don't know, the original G2 Slingshot suffered from heavy breakage with minimal wear due to the fragile gold tinted plastic he was made of, referred to as Gold Plastic Syndrome (GPS). That is why you will find no video review of the original G2 slingshot being transformed. Actually, I take that back because Seibertron has something special for you all. Below you will find an actual clip of Seibertron himself transforming G2 Slingshot without it crumbling to dust (which I believe was one of Hercule's 12 labours). Having this nice whole Slingshot also lets us bring you some full comparison pics between the new Combiner Wars G2 Superion and the original G2 Superion, something else you probably won't ever come across. You can get to the galleries of any character by clicking the pictures where you will also find comparison pictures to the original G2 version of every character (yes, even G2 Slingshot). If any of you are curious, Seibertron even has full galleries of the original G2 toys.
Generations Combiner Wars Superion
Generations Combiner Wars Silverbolt
Generations Combiner Wars Quickslinger
Generations Combiner Wars Air Raid
Generations Combiner Wars Skydive
Generations Combiner Wars Firefly
Generations Combiner Wars Powerglide
And here is Seibertron transforming the original G2 Slingshot without it falling apart.

Combiner wars continues to be great with possibility I don't understand the complaints
When I eventually atart buying Combiner wars I'm going to re-purpose G2 Superion into a new team to go alongside the normal Aerialbots they will be named after the Air Tean from Energon.
G2 Silverbolt will be Storm Jet
G2 Airraid will be Treadshot
G2 Skydive will be Terradive
G2 Fireflight will be Windrazor
G2 Slingshot will be Skyshadow
G2 Powerlgide will be Overcast
And the six of them will combine into INFERION!

I know Scattorshot has a somewhat poor reputation due to not being fateful enough to the Technobots but I'm curious to see what he and his Betatron form looks like in a proper gallery.

Scattershot is high on my list along with the small handful of other legends that I need to do. I was going to try to do him when I did unite warriors superion and go superion this week but decided against it for now.

If you have Scattorshot how are the plastic colors on him I'm worried Scattorshot might end up looking or feeling like a bad knockoff.

I remember browsing your Bruticus gallery and being a little disappointed that you didn't do any photo's of the alternate scheme (aka brawl and swindle as arms, etc.) is this something you could try doing for him, or others?
Like not a lot of photo's, but maybe a couple at the end...

This is strange praise indeed coming from someone siding with Burn

Well, we've just gone to hell. all of us.
On the plus side: Mindmaster discovered that you can plug Swindle's gun into his shoulder so when you have Hound you can give him his shoulder cannon

That's a cool future on Hound it makes my Dune Runner repaint idea better just plug in two of those guns on his shoulders.
Edit: here is the Digibash I made a couple weeks ago for reference.

Oooh, I think that just about works! Not perfect, but it's as servicable as RotF Megatron's jet mode.
Forget the car limb guys, Sky-Lynx is getting paired with Cosmos. TEAM ROCKET SPACE BROS

I painted Wheeljack's faux windshield on his chest and his hands in black paint which makes a world of difference on that figure, and I can't believe that is something Hasbro left off.
My Sky Lynx was slightly misassembled, one of his front legs was backwards on the ratcheting hip joint, but with a small Phillips screw driver I was able to switch around easy enough.

I'm holding out very limited hope for either an orange or yellow devastator.

Nope, That color scheme is boss on Dragstrip.
Just had a thought, a Combiner made up of Cyclonus and 4 G2 Dragstrips should look pretty cool.

Well... if it's anything like the stuff in the '16 platinum thread, you'd be flyin' high all day and night
But, yeah, I exaggerate, but all of them have actually looked really nice, hasbro did us proud on these

Already mass released in Canada http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transformer ... 0195422577
Shouldnt be too long before the states get him too.

Me too. It would bring a sense of completeness and closure to the G2 combiners that we never got back in the 90's. Even though of all the color schemes, G2 Defensor had the fugliest of them all, but you can bet I would still purchase it
