Oh no, he uses far more choice words than that. ;) The video's worth watching because he shows you the code to access continues (you can use it an unlimited number of times) - which, unless you're a gaming genius - you're gonna need it! (cos the default is 3 lives with no continues and no checkpoints) I wish I knew that code when I was a kid... I never even clocked level 1. :( :(

"The hit detection is very biased. To begin with, you're such a big target anyway, but if something comes anywhere near your perimeter it counts as a hit. However if you're trying to hit an enemy and your bullet goes anywhere other than dead centre, it passes through. And everything's so small, so fast and moves at such irregular patterns hitting your mark is like trying to p!$$ into a shot glass that's spinning on a record player that's strapped to a running cheetah's back while you're riding a unicycle on a tightrope blindfolded!"

I have to say it's a nice swan song for the series. Vol.2 is much much better than Vol.1. It covers all the bit players and cameos with write-ups and all of season 3 covered and completely dissected. Eg. The members of Prowls old dojo (Cyber Ninja Corps) broken down, size comparisons of all major characters, a board game in the middle of the book, all the different "Supremes", all locations given all the minuteast of detail. Nothing was left untouched. The back end of the book touches ont he toys with pictures and a LOT of prototype shots of existing and non existing molds. This book satiated my hunger for more Animated with every speck of the lore covered.

TFA fans this is a MUST have. G1 fans will get a kick to see all the tributes and Animated versions of oldies ;).

Where did ya get yours? Send me an sms, now your review is so making me want one right now! Would Borders have it?

Got Ratchet Deluxe and Lockdown Deluxe from TOYworld $20 each, really good price in my opinion. However the stupid lady wouldn't sell me Amorhide deluxe for $20, she said only toys that have the sticker on it are $20, only specially selected is $20. I was like "There all the same thing you stupid *****!" but you know people, they like to get cocky so I left it.

As for the combination... The 2 concept arts I've seen can't be replicated in toy form. The connection is pretty weak too, disapointing. That's the cleanest configuration I could come up with.

Oooh, are they from an online store or a local shop? Insecticon looks bad-ass, does he have a fun transformation?
9th July 2010, 02:17 PM
PascTF

Stolen plastic crack... you know how it goes.

Insecticon is alright, transformation is pretty simple. To be honest, he's the weakest of all the great Scouts we've gotten so far. Still nice to have for the collection though. :) I was supposed to get Breacher as well but the seller forgot to put it in the box. Hailstorm is on the way with him soon though... :)

I think Hasbro has officially stated that they're not including the combination instructions in with Elita-1 (probably means they can simply reprint the Chromia ones) but will put the combination instructions on their website at some point.

In the mean time, there have been a few good unofficial combinations worked out using Arcee & two Chromias.

They're all crap, I've tried them. The connectors themselves are too weak, so no matter how good you can make the 3 bikes look together, the figures will disconnect looking at them wrong. The failure level here is epic.

Picked up RH Perceptor and ~~Bombshell~~ Hardshell along with ROTF legends Ravage at Big W today.

Quick question - on the back of the RH packaging, it shows the double-pack for Snarl and Sharkticon; has anyone sighted these locally? I would love to pick these up.

Nope. These were not mass released as far as I know. Same as Prowl/Laserbeak set. Though there has been a few on ebay for Snarl and Sharkticons. But few and far between.
