While I prefer Blast Off as a shuttle myself, I feel I must interject, and point out that NASA is a civilian branch of the government. Yes, many of their pilots may come from the military, making things a bit murky there. But NASA itself is a civilian organization.

This is serious business yo.

Well, Vortex is just a repaint, but one I think we were all expecting and so I'm not bothered by it.

And Blast Off is also just a repaint, and frankly a (in my opinion) rather lazy one at that.

But the other three? Yes! I mean, I figured Onslaught would be a bit remolded to give him different heads and replace the ladder with the artillery cannons. But Hasbro went above and beyond here. And Swindle is hardly recognizable as Rook. And an all new mold for Brawl? Awesome looking Brawl!

So yeah, disappointed in Blast Off. But overall, a great looking team and gestalt!

Yeah, that was noticed pretty quickly. Don't let that dampen your enthusiasm, though! It was a great design choice!

Or is that what they want us to believe? dun, Dun, DUN!

Since your on about space shuttles....what do you think of the new Sky Lynx then?

(And he's not a retool of Silverbolt... )

I only don't like him as a space shuttle because it never made sense to me amongst all the vehicles picked as alt modes. I mean, an AA truck? Tough as nails, long range cannons, armored. Army jeep/hummer? Rugged, armored, almost immortal (if it's a jeep), durable, fast. Combat helicopter? Fast, loaded with weapons, armored, maneuverable. Tank? It's a tank, it's inherently badass and freaking invincible. Space Shuttle? Extremely delicate controls, runs risk of not working, NOT built for combat, doesn't carry weapons, fast in a straight line, not very tough against unnatural factors.

I don't know, and I'm not trying to start a argument, I'm just saying that a space shuttle amongst the other vehicles that the Combaticons have chosen doesn't make much sense. I mean you got long range combat (Onslaught), durable and fast scout (Swindle), unstoppable armored cannon (Brawl), fast and agile killing machine (Vortex), and high altitude/space vehicle which in real life could not likely be used in a violent situation (Blast Off). Having him as jet frankly makes this set perfect in my opinion.

Ah. "What do you think of the new Sky Lynx?" is a rather vague question to ask if you had such a specific inquiry in mind. As for an answer, I don't think anyone can say yet, beyond sometime in 2016 for the U.S., and, sadly, "Who the heck knows?" for Europe.

I think your mixing posts up pal! it clearly does not say that in the post of mine you've quoted(the what do you think of Sky Lynx bit) + if you'd read that post.....someone DID indeed reply, so it just goes to show you...not everyone has to be so specific to receive an answer!(maybe you do.....but not everyone).

Sowndwave76 wrote:No matter what anyone says about how Hasbro has handled the CW line,
I think they have done a phenomenal job with almost all of the head sculpts in this line, and most of the molds overall.
There are literally only a couple deluxe figures' heads that I at all question.

I also think it's great that with this line my perspective has been changed;
I'm not anticipating news of future Hasbro products with a "how-will-they-screw-this-up" attitude.

Personally, I haven't been this excited for Hasbro TF toys in almost 7 years.

You did just start out by asking what was thought of the new Sky Lynx.

Then in the very next post I said what I thought of it.

Then the very next post after that was the one where you changed your question to asking when it would come out.

So, unless there are somehow two forum members here named Stuartmaximus, how exactly did I misinterpret what you were asking?

And with me being the only poster between the post where you asked what we thought of Sky Lynx, and you changing your question to asking when we thought it would come out, who else exactly is it that did reply to you answering the question you say you intended to ask in the first place? Am I missing something somewhere?

It doesn't say that anywhere. But by that logic, since you are bring up the rules of Seibertron.com for some reason, can you show me where it says that if someone asks one question, I answer it to the best of my ability, then that person changes their question, and claims that I must have been incorrectly responding to something else when I was clearly replying to their original question, and tries to back that up by saying someone else obviously understood what they meant when they said what they didn't say, even though there were no posts by anyone else in the meantime... where in the rules does it say I am not allowed to express confusion over that?

Eh, it seems even more confusing when I try to make any sense of it. Well then... you know what? You have made one good suggestion, re: that block button. Not an option I like to resort to often, but I think I shall now. Thanks!

Hey, Tsutsukakushi! You're off the block list. I only like to have one at a time there, and I've been meaning to take you off for months now, anyway. (Honestly, don't even recall why you'd been there in the first place, and you do say a lot of stuff worth interest as of late...)

Yeah, I mentioned it in the CW thread that there was a distinct whiff of Liokaiser lingering around the head sculpt; and while it may be a love letter to the original toys puma head, it pulls double duty as Liokaiser fodder. In fact if painted as the buggy and jet combined you could make a liokaiser by the end of next year (assuming the drill technobot is released)

Something tell me that's the concept art for the original G1 figure from Victory, as some details don't match up, like Jallguar as a leg. It's no real indication of a planned figure for CW or UW.

That concept art is from 25 years ago and it was uncovered in the early 00's, nothing new here.

Aside from all this, something tells me that Skylynx and Hungar will use the same mold. I highly doubt Skylynx will be a mold only used once, that seems to go against Hasbro's current business model for Combiner Wars.

And Jelze, when you say there are 2 combiner teams left do you mean Abominus and Computron?

What I mean is if we're getting 4 teams for 2016 as well, we already have 2: Bruticus and Sky Reign. Excluding Victorion, that leaves 2 slots to fill however.

Why are you assuming Victorion wont be release like the others? Afterall, our only predecessor, Windblade, was sold at retail as part of a wave like any other release.
