It’s so close. Can’t believe it’s been seven years since the set began.

Holy crap. This guy is the pinnacle of combiners. Integrated combiner parts, decent in all modes, relatively simple transformations, reasonable articulation and even bells and whistles like die cast and LEDs. Pretty cheap too all things considered

If they do a Legends version I'm in. I don't have the money or space for a combiner this huge but I want to experience this design.

Cang Toys is the only company doing their designs at multiple scales so far. Mechanical Invasion might do them in the future but that’s a really big might. We haven’t even seen updates on the drilltank/hammer add on for Devastator or Volcanicus.

The individual robots are huge, around a head shorter than the standard MP Optimus height but because of the integrated combiner parts design and how the components compress in their vehicle modes, the combined form isn’t as big as you’d expect. it’s only around 14 inches tall but dense and heavy AF.

These guys have something special with this design. They should milk it.

I would totally buy a G2 orange set. I’d be interested in seeing what a Diaclone or ROTF colored version would look like. The yellow set is neat but has a but too much purple and yellow for my tastes. Clear windows are neat but they’re just more black instead of something that would contrast the predominantly yellow and black constructicons.

God I love transforming Mixmaster’s legs. They’re everything I love about transforming robot toys. Such a simple but effective use of space.

Not as stupidly tight as the first release so probably fixed. The ratchets had already been corrected by the time Takara released their Legends version IIRC.

Found Earthspark Soundwave, he's pretty neat. Think I might give him some Tron lines with a Gundam Marker. Debating pink or purple, might have to try a touch of each on a hidden spot and see how they work with the blue.

Depends on the shade of purple. I would expect pink to stand out a lot more against all the blue.

Went with the pink. Adds a lot of pop.

Debating if I want to silver in his faceplate. This version of Soundwave isn't supposed to have a silver face, but he's not supposed to have Tron lines either, and it's not like I've actually watched Earthspark anyway.
