My PE Deathstalker and Warden booster set arrived today. I'll sort his legs out at the weekend but have some squishy Scorponok VS Lego warrior action in the meantime.

Sort of? OTFCC 2004 had a black redeco of him named "Megazarak" (Scorponok's Japanese name), but other than the name they don't seem to have much in common.

I'm sure copyright is a big issue when Hasbro has been suing all of the 3P companies into the ground, slaughtering them to the last man with legal attacks. Fansproject desperately defending itself with the three-fold maneuver of goofy names, goofy back stories and steelcore's awesome trailer THE AQNA FORCE is the only thing holding Hasbro back!

Don't call me a Soccer mom and pull this. They're doing those to ward off Hasbro's legal gauntlet, preemptively. Had they literally just said, "hey, here's Sixshot," they would have a letter.

So I've been out of the loop for a few months. Did the combiner stuff drop yet? I really want to grab a lot of that stuff. I haven't really been looking out recently. Are Arcee and Brainstorm out yet?

Whoa whoa whoa I said I thought from the tone of your earlier posts, not that I actually thought you were! There's a difference. I was more making a point that there was a tonal shift over time and using the term as a point of reference.

Also seriously, citation needed here. When has crafting two paragraphs of weird AQNA FORCE text ever been construed as a rigorous legal defense?

You can get the Combiner stuff from the major etailers and in some stores in the US or elsewhere.

Arcee and Brainstorm are 'out' but have not (and probably won't) reach saturation. Combiner Wars has new packaging and is a new line, so the older Generations line isn't being stocked. As usual might show up in the discount slash close out stores.

I'd recommend picking up Arcee (with Chromia since that's the only way they're still selling her) from BBTS while they still have her if you want to guarantee yourself an Arcee. Between being in the final wave of the line and being scalped to all hell she's going to be rare.

I thought you were saying that I thought Hasbro was going after companies, I just meant that the reason they have weird rear end names, is to not infringe on hasbro's copyright so they won't eat a Cease and Desist letter.

AQNA is an acronym for "A Question Not Answered" which I guess is an injoke for Hasbro's stance on third parties.

It's also the name of quite a few people on the No Fly list, so watch your search histories.

It's people like you that are ruining the world. :negative:

Also a fan created bot, if it has the same timeframe as windblade it could be well into 2016 before it's released. Because they started Windblade back when FOC was a thing.


Which means more combiners for years to come.

Also Defensor is real

Looks like Wave 3 is going to be interesting. First Aid is a combat vehicle which isn't something seen since the PCC Protectobots. Also Rook is an armored truck so unless Blades and Streetwise are not happening there will be no motorcycle limb. However Motorcycle could still wind up being a legends figure.

Neato. I have G1 Blades kicking around and would love a modern take. I also have a Motormaster and a busted up Silverbolt plus some other randoms for that matter. So with all these new versions my inner 5 year old is super excited to finally have full iterations of the combiner teams with current engineering.

On another note, I mostly lurk, but if folks are interested I can post pics of some robots I'm clearing out for a potential move, and to make room in the collection, before I before I start putting things up on eBay.

You should do this, yes.

I am really hoping there is some weird rear end not-combiner to use as a torso so I can make this mishmash abomination combiner. So far Rook + Alpha Bravo + Offroad! And Black Jack jammed in somewhere randomly.

It will be hideous.
