Universe/Classics 2.0 Sightings

[k.wong23]

Westfield Doncaster has 1 acid storm, 1 galvatron, 1 silverstreak at DJ's and that's pretty much it.

I found 2 Superions but about 15 Bruticus sets at Myer today. I wonder if Superion is really popular or shortpacked? Maybe it's getting it's full release later and that's why it's been seen in the Movie 2 packaging?

I'll be getting both of the combiner sets, I'm pretty happy with both of them, but with a couple of alterations...

For starters I'll be painting all the hand/foot pieces in either silver/medium gray, maybe black, and I may well be using the alternate arm transformation for Superion to give him slightly better hands (although it does make his forearms look very weedy).

Apart from that, they're decent little sets. My son has a lot of the original scouts, along with Steamhammer. The scouts are good toys in and of themselves, the fact they combine is just a bonus.

And seriously, does Superion really NEED hands? It's not like he's going to be typing up memoirs in his downtime. There's a LOT of details in the guns that make up the hands on the 'jet' bots. I think a coat of 'boltgun' metal with a really dark wash over the top would make them look fantastic, likewise with his feet. Maybe do Bruticus' extremeties in black.

And another tip, the helicopter guy's guns can be pulled apart so that you get 2 smaller guns, which look awesome John Woo style. There's a leftover piece this way but, you know, meh. I guess you could give those to Onslaught to use as some wierd-ass spiked weapon.

And for those who might have missed the alternate arm transformation for Superion...

I may pick him up...if Myer ever do a '75% off toys' sale.

Shame. I was really looking forward to this when I saw it announced.

Those are great pics, Sutton. I'll try 'em later tonight! And a warm welcome too!

I should add I cleared out the last Bruticus available at Myer Northland today. Nada left.

"Pinkimus" Prime I believe people have dubbed him... For obvious reasons
