Smokescreen and Wheeljack just look awful- like, cheap knockoff levels of awful. Wheeljack I'd like if he had more paint to be fair, but poor Smokescreen! At least Wheeljack had a proper reshell- Smokescreen is just Streetwise with a new head and new colours.



Hound and Trailbreaker I like. Admittedly I'll be getting them as custom fodder most likely (Hound into RID Rollbar and Trailbreaker into RID2015 Strongarm) but regardless, they look great. And Trailbreaker's handfootgun looks excellent! I'm really liking the 2-fingered clamp look they went with. Posted by Black Hat on December 24th, 2015 @ 1:51pm CST

I'm guessing that hand/foot is supposed to pop into Trailbreaker's backpack with the fingers out to give that classic Trailcutter look. I've seen in another picture where the thumb appears to fold completely flat.

KO, of a 3p you say? I'm OK with that if the quality is there. This is one of the reasons why I like you and alternately my wallet dislikes you.KO, of a 3p you say? I'm OK with that if the quality is there.



The quality is confirmed to be there. The only difference is that the ko version of superions feet has painted gattling guns.

Nah. Whilst the legality of 3P stuff can be brought into question due to the finicky nature of IP, they are actually doing the engineering and design work themselves- they aren't just cloning HasTak's molds or anything, and all their work is from a tangible point of view original. KO makers on the other hand literally just clone other people's hard work without putting in any original work themselves and profit off of actual, undeniable theft. Nah.

The only thing that I hate is the ugly slotted/box-grater plastic of his wing undersides, they really need to STOP doing that garbage!



I must state that though I detest Hasbro's profuse/repetitive overuse of molds in this line, and the horrible implementation of hollow/slotted plastics, that the overall head/face-sculpts for these figures have been absolutely spot-on beautiful for nearly every figure. I own the CW Protectobots, Stunticons, and Constructicons, Ultra Magnus, Optimus, etc. and all of these have great, G1 cartoon or comic accurate faces/heads. The only one I have reservations about is Dragstrip with his jagged evil-scarecrow mouth and stubby "ears" and MotorMaster' s un-painted eye-holes.



Otherwise, the Combiner Wars and the Generations line before it have had the most beautifully rendered G1 accurate faces I have seen (outside the Masterpiece line. of course). Wow! I want SkyLynx. I'm an 80's kid and Space Shuttle lover, so this is awesome! I can't help but wonder if Takara's version will be any prettier with metallic/pearlescent white, and possibly vac-metal/gold-chrome cockpit windows/eyes & lynx-head, and shinier/deeper red & blue plastics.The only thing that I hate is the ugly slotted/box-grater plastic of his wing undersides, they really need todoing that garbage!I must state that though I detest Hasbro's profuse/repetitive overuse of molds in this line, and the horrible implementation of hollow/slotted plastics, that the overall head/face-sculpts for these figures have been absolutely spot-on beautiful for nearly every figure.

Skylynx looks awesome, ive always wanted a g1 skylynx but havent had any luck getting one. This looks like a great stand in. Wheeljack though looks terrible, i was really looking forward to him but now not so much. Looks like a giant white blob, again hasbro ruins a good mold by being cheap.

To be honest, I really like those slots. They aren't visible in shuttle mode (since they face down) while in the other modes they give the wings a more articulated look, as if they can actually flex, bend, and flap.



Sure, they could have made the wings solid with sculpted detail, but it wouldn't look as dynamic. Also, do you know what sculpted detail looks like on white plastic?

Agreed, especially since they allow the blue plastic to be visible, makes it look nice, as well as dynamic, and really seems to break up the deco

I never said it was the same thing, I just meant 2 things:



1. There is no honour amongst



2. KOs can be just as handy for a collection. G1s are either expensive or usually found without accessories. So for my incomplete G1 combiners, I use the hands, feet and guns of KOs to complete them:

My view is still the same as before. Sky Lynx looks fun, I wish he wasn't a combiner but hey, and the limb-bots are still horribly cheap nasty looking junky representations of characters who've had better toys before (Trailbreaker and Hound come off far better than Wheeljack and Smokescreen though).

Dude, read between the lines...



Don't you see the double standard ? When I bring up KO's I get the sermon about going "off topic". When someone else brings up KO's the mods join in on the debate.



Don't worry, I wont be putting Sky Reign in the toilet. I like the Sky Lynx figure as a stand alone piece. I have no plans on ever using him as a torso. Hopefully 3rd parties come up with an upgrade to make him split in two halves. And Id be totally down for a KO Upsized Sky Lynx in Leader scale.

Ah, now I see. Anyway, I'm not sure its possible to split the figure into two halves and have complete forms, even with disassembly. And yeah, a Leader-scale Sky Lynx would be cool. Or better yet, a Masterpiece Sky Lynx. Ah, now I see. Anyway, I'm not sure its possible to split the figure into two halves and have complete forms, even with disassembly.
