Must. Resist. Urge… to buy!


In all seriousness though. Wow. The kept that one pretty quiet. We'll have to wait and see whether the other members are as kibble free as the 2 we've seen so far. But that in part would be helped by the fact that all the combiner parts aren't intergrated into the bot.

Still, this is cool.
I'm still tossing up between picking up Grind Rod now, or wait/hope for a gift set which may lighten the cost of shipping a bit -- would Toyworld follow Maketoys with a lavish gift set box? Or just leave things as is like TFC? Seeing how the Throttlebots weren't originally combiners, there is no particular demand for a G1-esque styled gift set repackaging..

Personally, I don't care much about the combining aspect, I wanted the Throttlebot characters. So as long as they are not compromised by the combining function, I am happy.

I personally was unsure if Grind Rod combined, that 'leg' mode kind of seemed like a 'fan mode' as in someone being clever with the engineering for fun.
The only 'compromise' visible from the pics so far would be the two inconspicuous grey 4/5mm holes on the rear of the car near the lights -- perhaps to carry combiner parts whilst in alt mode? Can't really see how a foot would require the use of those holes in those positions. But looking forward to your photo gallery + review as always
(Especially interested, as there's quite a difference between the initial rust-brown/olive complexion and the final production mint green)
