Wow - those PE add ons make a HUGE difference.
I just wish they weren't so darn expensive for what they are.
Do we know if Hasbro will be releasing the Technobots individually or will they only be as a boxset? I will of course grab the UW boxset as I like to have one gestalt and one set of the individual robots. But since I already have Scattershot if the Hasbro version is a boxset too it means I'll end up with three of him and the figure really doesn't impress me enough to warrant that.
This looks pretty good, the new feet change the entire robot, now he doesn't look like an ape, even better with the PE kit.
Spiderken Away!
I would think that it is just a boxset, because...
1 - the retail release of Combiner Wars is now over.
2 - Hasbro haven't yet done box sets of teams released individually.
3 - Computron has new hands and feet, and as someone had noted, they wouldn't be released with the individual toys.
It's quite possible that this boxset concept was thought up late, after Scattershot was already locked in for release with Onslaught, but after Hasbro knew about the Japanese Deluxe Groove and the drill tank attachment for Nosecone.

If anyone is interested I've put a review of the Hasbro Computron set up on my blog as I got to play with him in hand at the Hasbro Hong Kong trial and play event.

Wow, seeing the image of Afterburner next to the others really shows how grossly out of scale that Deluxe bike is!I preordered the Hasbro one before news of the TakaraTOMY version came out. Then I eventually caved and preordered the TakaraTOMY one too. I'm going to receive my Hasbro one first, which I'll open because I want to keep Scrounge... then comes the tricky part of trying to offload an Scrounge-less set of Technobots.
I've been a fan of the G1 comics since the beginning, so Scrounge is a character from my childhood, but I can't help but wonder how many people are jumping on the Scrounge bandwagon now that he finally has a toy.Ah well, I'm sure I'll eventually find a buyer... probably have to wait a few years though.
