I don't have him in hand yet, but I've played around with Ironhide and Offroad. I think thumb extended works better. Once you get it wedged in, it holds pretty well. Offroad is currently displayed as such. As far as stressing the plastic, I haven't see that with the other two.

I've been trying my hand with Ironhide as well. The only thing is that the whole fist sits much higher on my Ironhide than this pic of Trailblazer. I just got TB the otherday, but haven't opened him. I'll play with him later today.

He stands no chance against the big, bad, battlin' dude-icus.....

Wow a whole 18 seconds Thanks Hasbro. - Also Death -Looks like Hasbro hasn't changed. 15 seconds for Sky Reign & 3 for Bruticus. Loved how you parodied that in the 1985 Aerialbots/Stunticons commercial

So...does Death have any plans for Valentines Day

Me too. Impressed, actually. Bring on CW Predaking! Hopefully the Predacons will be sold separately at stores.

-From what I've seen, Hasbro provided instructions for any Legends class figures that were designed to be Torso and/or Weapons for combiners. I know there are some fan modes out there, but if Wreck-Gar didn't come with instructions, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

Is there a YouTube video showing how to do the Lynx mode for Sky Lynx?

I think they're more likely to be sold in a box set so they don't take any waves away from the other lines.

There really is no lynx mode per se as the Shuttle and cargo bay do not separate like the Original Toy did. The "Lynx" is technically when the torso is transformed for the combiner mode

Actually you can get a lynx mode



As for how to do it unfortunately I do not own the mold so I can offer no insight there.

Lynx mode looks like a mid-transformation to torso mode.

Now that he is in hand, we're seeing all kinds of crazy fan modes.

You basically spin his lower legs around, pull the lynx head out a bit, and pivot the wings into position, he's actually got a lot of moving parts/joints to make it happen. No parts-forming, or dis-assembly required

Yeah....quoting myself here.

So, I've had a chance to mess with him a bit at lunch. I noticed a couple of things. (I'll try to put this in a couple of pics, or perhaps a video.) First, Trailblazer's combiner thumb is vastly different than Ironhide and Offroad. This pic is pretty much only possible with the thumb folded in. Second, the thumb portion of the hand has to be tilted some from the knuckles/fingers, like to partially expose the weapon hole. (I hope this is clear. I'm not sure exactly how to describe this. Sort of partially transform it from being a foot to being a hand.)

Third, and this is the part that I dislike the most, it appears that the back of the "hand" is squeezed between the front tires, causing the wheels to be splayed out slightly. (I wonder if this was where some people are seeing stress marks. It sorts of sits in there snug until I touch it, then *snap* the hood goes back and the fist squeezes out.

I am not a fan of this configuration. I think I'll keep TB in truck mode in my display.

Or, alternatively, plug that fist into the arm-gun for BIG HAND MODE.

Yes, Hasbro is well known for giving short shrift to the Decepticons. They need better publicity agents.

For Valentine's Day? Oh, same as usual. Reaping souls and reviewing toys

Which toy is next? Well I posted my Combaticon figure review yesterday (shameless out-of-thread plug) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smlo4xLoQ3k

The actual Bruticus review is coming in 2 weeks. But I'll be posting a shorter review in the interim which I will only say is 'Phasmastic'.....

I love the fan Lynx mode. I really want to make the 4-legged Lynx combined mode too, as that seems really cool and he will have a tail! I wants so bad. With luck I will order the limbs early next week, but as for the torsos for Brut and Sky, I dunno yet

Well, zmultiplier must have noticed that the half images are getting old, so he found a new way to screw with us!

By making the images really small so when you try to make them bigger, you can't see jack squat

Even though zooming in does nothing for seeing detail you can still see most of the colors which look really really nice.

has noone got any editor or software to unblur or enhance & enlarge that picture?

Sorry guy, once an image has been shrunk all that data is lost, but how about a compromise through the power of MS Paint (500% up-size)?


Looks better than I would have thought.

Computron.jpg

Looks better than I would have thought.

A lot of people are saying that the yellow smudge on his shoulder is supposed to be Legends Scrounge, remolded to be able to be used as a shield, but I don't know what to think.

yeah you can now make out Nosecone a bit better! even with his drill bit! although his turret looks kinda yellowy! difficult to make out what colour his main body is though?

Interesting if true about scrounge but to me it just looks like an explosion.

i got this off of TFW2005

Just finished the galleries for Sky Lynx and crew (plus I even squeezed in a gallery of Encore Sky Lynx)! Yes, I did the Lynx, the Bird mode, and some gorilla/lynx beast mode for Sky Reign. I used Trailbreaker as Sky Reign's left arm so that the new claw hand could be shown off. It seemed like a waste to have him as a leg. Here's a teaser ...

Sounds like you were partially inspired by my horrible quality pictures from last week!

Courtesy of our old friend zmulitplier from Weibo, we now have the full colored image of Combiner Wars Computron! This new image confirms the molds, with the Scattershot mold being recolored as the torso, Nosecone being Brawl redone using the General Ramhorn drill piece, either the Dead end or Wheeljack mold for Lightspeed, Afterburner being a Unite Warriors Groove retool, Air Raid repurposed as Strafe, and what appears to be Legends class Cosmos and Payload recolored in yellow mounted on Strafe! What do you make of this new image? Who is that new little yellow guy? Let us know what you think in the comments section and stay tuned for all the latest transformers news.

Does the new yellow minion guy like bananas?

Welp I was wrong. Looks amazing though and it's cool that scrounge comes with payload. Also looks like air raid got quite a bit of retooling

Oh I didn't even notice Payload there! Anyhow this set looks like it is a must-buy already.

Looks like those are some new hands and feet there. Interesting, though I'll probably replace them anyway, assuming I even get this. Quantron still looks like the better deal, even if he is a bit shorter than most combiners.

As for Lightspeed, judging by the detail on the folded down car front I'd say it's probably Breakdown/Wheeljack. But don't quote me on that, I've been wrong before.

Seibs, I am loving the pictures! I dunno if you did, but I really would love to see what you would do with the 4-legged combined mode as the Lynx!

and Computron: He is looking to be what I wanted. Yeah, a few tweaks here and there, but he looks awesome! I love it. Plus that little cosmos repaint is a neat 6th figure (maybe 7th) But I wonder how they would factor that into why whoever he is is with the technobots

Payload may be necessary for that mold to work, considering the tab in payload and how he can attach to Cosmos, that would be the only way this would work.

And new hands and feet are always welcome

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scrounge_(G1)

He is said to be a redeco (possibly with a new head) of Legends Cosmos. And since it seems that it is Scrounge on his arm, you know what that means:

It means that Computron has a special arm (there is no other like it) .

Should work now

Not bad computron, not bad at all. Now bring on the actual toy pics

I don't think it would be Scrounge, probably just Cosmos recolored to match the Computron color scheme (ala Powerglide to G2 Superion). The guy is really obscure, with no toy that I know of, and no connection to the Technobots that I am aware of. I know Cosmos may not have any connection either, but at least he is a "futuristic" type vehicle that could sort of fit in with the Technobots.

As for being a 7-team combiner, I guess technically CW Computron *could* be the first,(if it turns out to be true) but any other could have had a legends class weapon & chest piece (or two weapons).

BWII God Neptune was close (repaint of Piranacon). They planned to add Beast Wars Razorclaw (renamed later in BW Neo as Rockbuster) as a "Target-Master" like gun along with the teams 6th member, until ultimately scaling it back to the basic 5.

Recolored Powerglide as himself for G2 Superion makes sense though. Recolored Cosmos as himself for G1 Computron doesn't. He's definitely representing a different character.
I meant the first 7 man CW team, since they have official line ups according to Hasbro.

Dammit Sunstorm! you beat me to the special arm joke! (If it is Scrounge). I do really like him. Yes, he is what he is with regards to retools and repaints, but to me he looks really good.

Oh hey, Scrounge's a repaint that's kinda sorta interesting.... oh, and the Targetmaster's reused with it too. Neat!
Ol' Straxus is going to have a hard time tearing that arm off, though.
