Toy Review - Generations FOC Combaticons wave

[nyerk]

Do you have a link or something on how to do this?

I used this guide for the arms:

But for Onslaught I clicked the knees down to give him a lower stance like the original toy. Then I added Blast-Off's pistols and Vortex's sword guns to his back cannon to fill him out a bit more and make him look like he's bristling with armaments.

This makes him look nice! Good find.

I picked up the G2 version of this set; I'm pacing myself and have only taken one (Vortex) out of the packaging so far. I wanna do the "slowly collect the set & combine them all at the end" thing we used to do as kids.

I do find that while he's flawed, for a $20ish deluxe that has to form both an arm & a leg (with an integrated hand) while also fitting a game-defined look, I think he's a good effort. I do agree with the comments about the rotors on his arm in robot mode, but overall; I agree with klystron that expectations might be too high - in Vortex's case at least I'm happy.

For what it's worth I dislike Vortex's colour scheme on the other versions I've seen & only like the blue G2 colours. I'm not sure if I'll feel the same about Swindle (I never liked his G2 colours), but I guess I'll find out later!

Saw the G2 set IRL at my local TRU yesterday (they had two there) and must admit that they look a lot nicer than the mass-retail version. Still, I left both of them on the shelf and I'm glad that I cancelled my Amazon order.

I would only buy these toys if I found the SDCC ones (or even Takara) at a reasonable price e.g. under $120

I decided not to get these because the arms of the individual figures looked very ... snappable, and overall I did not feel they would be worth my money.

Anyone notice that Vortex's instructions has Whirl's head?

OMG, I just had a play with the G2 version of this set and they are as cheap as sh*t!

Plastic feels KO quality or near, designs are mediocre at best with a lot of lazy shortcuts that compromise the figure. Very poor effort overall and it has really killed any ideas I had of getting the game colored accurate version since this molds are not even worth the relatively cheaper price of the G2 set.

It's not that I have been spoiled by higher quality 3rd party stuff, these guys are crap even by Hasbro's own standards of just a f few years ago. Even the Energon combiners have better built and design value at an individual figure level. At least I like the new combiner ports, they seem more secure and innovative.

They were better in their cool G2 box!

I did but Whirl deserves better

That's for the Wreaker team repaints isn't it?
