Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

[SuspectimusPrime]

So I just got a Henkei Ratchet in the mail, MISB. I never realise how horrible that mould is. I guess my Henkei Ironhide (which I have just now gotten off the shelf to look at) has never been played with cause now I've played with both these guys they have parts popping off in play and really look terrible in vehicle mode.

Yep, and Botcon SG Soundwave is no different The worst part is the torso joint popping clean off, sometimes without much effort or force. That cannon hand/stubby blade weapon isn't too impressive either..

I was really impressed with Scattershot when I picked up Computron last November. Interesting Transformation, cool alt mode - a giant space cruiser loaded with cannons - and the best 3rd mode (a cannon emplacement) I've seen from a combiner leader. The fact he combines with 4 other robots into a gestalt just tops off a really great figure!

Would you be even more impressed to know that you can also combine Scattershot with (G1) Metroplex?

Really?!? I knew you plug in the 4 smaller Aerialbots to give him a bunch of arm/leg booster rockets but how to you combine him with Scattershot?

In cannon mode, Scattershot has a couple of tabs that are on the wing, and these plug into the slot on the side of Metroplex's docking bay in city mode.

Very cool! I've plugged MMaster and Onslaught into Trypticon in city mode before. Next time I get Metro & Scattor out will surely give it a go

Really? That makes sense as to why the ends of the wings are an odd shape, but I've never seen anyone do that (unlike Motormaster, Hot Spot, Onslaught and Silverbolt.) Can someone please post a photo? Scattershot's TFW2005 page even says says "Unlike the other Scramble City combiners, Scattershot is one of only two team leaders that do not have a base mode that can connect to Metroplex or Trypticon (unless fan-created). The other is the Terrorcon leader Hun-Grrr."
