In hand photo gallery of CW Victorion

I really do wonder what they were thinking with the heads on the car girls.
Jumpstream looks an awful lot like she's related to Optimus Primal to me!

really?

Did you mean Dustup?

Hmm... according to the paperwork included with Victorion the windblade looking face is Dust Up and the Gorilla looking face is Jumpstream...

Which is correct? (I don't read the comics so I based naming on what was included on the instructions which are the same in both english and chinese)
*confused*

[doublespy]

Yep that should be Dustup you were referring to, who's inspired by Nightbird if I'm not mistaken?

And love your write-ups.

Btw if you know your way around taobao you'd find getting stuff from mainland China is quick and so damn cheap

I don't like the colours they have used and I don't really like that they are all the same colour combo. However since I am not collecting CW my opinion is irrelevant anyway

[GoktimusPrime]

I collect CW and I share spiderken27's sentiment. The colours look like they're from some unreleased prototype and not a final product. Meh.

Could be worse. Hasbro could have gone with Hot Pink and Allspark Blue.

But seriously they look meh. I'll still get them, but I'm not paying much for them.

Oh right, when you said Optimus Primal I was thinking of his robot mode face, which is a bit more iconic than just gorilla. That's why I thought your comment was odd because none of the headsculpts really look like his.

Anyway, doublespy is correct, Dustup is the Nightbird looking one.

I'm surprised you're not reading the comics, I thought you'd be interested in what Windblade gets up to.

The torchbearers are honestly kind of non-characters at the moment, like, they're just there. If the name mixup on the instructions is an issue it wouldn't be hard to swap their names around, or even invent a contrivance to do so (like Swoop and Divebomb swapping names, or Octane and Trailbreaker changing their names to Tankor and Trailcutter to match toys on the shelf)

Here are the instructions (both the standard and Chinese versions) to help you understand why I was confused:




I unfortunately don't know my way around taobao as I can't read Chinese. I have to get my husband to (reluctantly) help me if I have a direct link to exactly what I want. I wish I could use it more as I know I am missing out on some great stuff but I can't complain as HK prices aren't too bad most of the time.

And for some amusement: I came home last night after spending the day taking a fellow Ozformer around HK to find my daughter had decided her Combiner Hunters needed to get in on the action with Victorion. LOL (note we don't have access to the english comics so she hasn't seen what Victorion's storyline is yet).

Wow, those photos are so cool (respectfully disagree on the colors )with Windblade and Victorion together. I can't wait to get my hands on her to go with the SDCC set.

But I think the most awesome part of this whole story is that your daughter was actually playing with her. Toys being used for the purpose they were intended, and without being bribed. Totally cool.
