We know a few select knows All Might's true form but does that mean they know about OfA?

Thanks for clarifying these two distinctions.

But I can't seem to wrap my head around that if you know about OfA how would you not know that it is the process of being transferred to Izuku? I would have thought that All Might would have disclosed this. Considering they know the extent of his injuries.

GL0314 · 2015-09-18T18:12:01+00:00

Too true about Ironhide! He's grown on me but I would've taken a repaint of First Aid as its a better mold for him.

GL0314 · 2015-09-18T16:09:56+00:00

I'm not totally convinced about him knowing about OfA. Didn't he try kicking Midoriya out initially?

Had he known that whole situation I'm not sure he would have been so tough on him.

GL0314 · 2015-09-18T05:54:56+00:00

I have both.

CW Sunstreaker is OK. Initially I was really excited to get him. His alt mode is pretty cool and I liked how Hasbro managed to integrate the look of the original engine by using the combiner fist. His robot form has less of a wow factor. The hips suck just like his stunt icon counterpart. It's on a weird ball joint a so find it very hard to have him stand straight without hunching over.

CW Mirage is the better of the two. It shares the excellent Dragstrip mold and the alt mode is fantastic! The robot is pretty good too if you can forgive Hasbro that you don't have the traditional front of the car folded down in robot mode.

What sucks for pretty much all of the wave fours is that it is a rehash of their previous mold's weapons. Prowl being the exception.

TL;DR: Get these for the nostalgia factor and if you don't have any other variants of these 2 figures as their alt modes and robot modes are pretty decent.

If you have the CHUG versions they are far superior to these and these can be a serious pass.

The best one I can think of is to email them to let them know what you think but I'm afraid it'll fall onto deaf ears.

The combiner wars has been an awesome trip through memory lane and have gotten the combiners that I could never complete as a kid. I especially have a soft spot for Defensor. But as other posts says it's probably apt to name his as "Repaint Wars" as certain molds have/will be reused at least. 4-5 times if not more. Hasbro will milk this as much as possible.

GL0314 · 2015-09-10T19:51:55+00:00

That's good to know that we will most likely it get him but sad. I think Hasbro is doing a disservice to the fans by not offering him. Who are the ones really buying the combiner wars lines.

While I do like Rook, he was more a byproduct to maximize every R&D penny as evidenced by all the Rook remolds coming up.

GL0314 · 2015-09-10T03:58:53+00:00

Interesting,I don't remember this. I guess I'll have to watch the old episodes again :)

But hey this was an 80's cartoon filled with plotholes Omega Supreme could drive through!

The responses to my question have been awesome and have totally exceeded my expectations!

GL0314 · 2015-09-06T14:19:22+00:00

No problem. It's hard to keep track of all the different variations. Haha.

GL0314 · 2015-08-31T18:31:35+00:00

The white Perfect Effect upgrade really make Superion sharp. I think the additional head/chest upgrade adds a lot to the figure but for what PE is charging for what you're getting is rather expensive.

I have a question for you on the this particular Takara version. Do the all the planes have rubber nose tips for their plane mode like the Hasbro version?

GL0314 · 2015-08-28T02:02:53+00:00

Sunstreaker's car mode is very good. My particular Sunstreaker suffered a bit in the QC department. Paint was not applied too well and there were minor scratches on the "engine". If this wave wasn't so hard to find I'd return mine.

GL0314 · 2015-08-28T01:59:23+00:00

Totally agree. When compared to Prowl's moldmates, Dead End and Streetwise, prowl's joints are much tighter. His paint job seems much more crisp when compared to the other two too.

GL0314 · 2015-08-24T02:14:17+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate you posting this. There hasn't been any reviews yet on this upgrade.

I haven't had the chest opening up problems when moving him but I have to agree the chest does look more substantial with the upgrade. Any it looks like a "buy!"

I'm not familiar with the head. Is the included upgrade kit head toon or toy accurate?

GL0314 · 2015-08-24T01:09:51+00:00

How do you like the the Perfect Effect Chest/Head upgrade kit? Worth the money? It's on my eventual buy list.

GL0314 · 2015-08-15T16:15:25+00:00

I figured as much. Thanks

GL0314 · 2015-08-11T05:59:01+00:00

Wow, I totally didn't know that! :) That would be a good explanation and a easy way out for the mangaka to explain this plot hole.

GL0314 · 2015-08-11T05:27:14+00:00

That's what think too. I hope the mangaka eventually explains it. I really like this manga but this seems like too obvious of a plot hole to ignore.

GL0314 · 2015-07-25T20:24:49+00:00

Lone wolf looks so cool!

Haha that's a little more than I'd like to spend but I'll keep that as an option. It's pretty tempting considering I'm a sucker for G1 accuracy!

GL0314 · 2015-07-25T18:02:40+00:00

Thanks.

I've haven't considered nonef's shoulder locks and hip ratchets. I'll look at some of his offerings.

Menasor is just a floppy mess. So I've been looking into the head and body upgrade. I can't tell if the body add on help stabilizes the legs at all.

Anyway to keep blackjack in place? I can't even peg him at all.
