What's a crutch missile?

Hasbro's reissue Seeker missiles were lengthened for safety reasons, so when attached to the launchers in robot mode it makes them look like they're carrying a pair of crutches.

Yes, I was also expecting more combiner sets.

And you mean God neptune right? I'd much prefer piranacon because neptune is missing a seacon. Nice colours though.

I meant King Poseidon - the Japanese equivalent of Piranacon. As you said, God Neptune is missing a Seacon. Which doesn't bother me personally as I already have all the Seacons, but I'm missing a lot of Piranacon parts! And buying a reissue would be easier and cheaper than hunting down original parts! Plus I get an extra set of Seacons that I can display in different modes (like my Combaticons - reissues displayed as Bruticus, originals as individual robots )

I don't have an original to go off, but I thought my warp and cracker missiles were correct length. They also came with the very small missiles too.

So King Poseidon is just piranacon? If so, I'd be happy with that.

Here are some photos for comparison:
Original G1 Skywarp (correct missile length)
Hasbro reissue Skywarp (oversized missiles)
TakaraTOMY reissue Skywarp (correct length missiles)

Toywise yes.

Toywise yes.

Ah, I think you were talking about hasbro commemorative when you say hasbro, yes? I indeed have the tak-tom encore of sky/thunder.

Was king poseidon the same colour? Shouldn't matter too much, because it sounds like we are both wanting the same thing.

Yup.

afaik the toys are identical. I've never seen King Poseidon IRL but I've seen photos and I haven't noticed any differences (so even if they are they must be minor).
