Because the coins and sleeves are made by people who dont know the toys. This isnt Takara, its a hasbro asia add on and we've seen worse. Remember Defensor, he was shown with the Hasbro chest.

Haha, yeah I remember that. I also just noticed that it says Combiner Wars on the coin itself, looks like they really don't know what they're doing

TR Rumble's package image is that of a recolored Rewind too. While the in package is well...Oopsie or just beating the deadlines.
Maybe this is a mass error set which will make it even more collectible?

Victorion is an Autobot, so Megatronia must be one as well. Redecos changing factions? That's just silly
And I found another goof, though that may depend on how well you see colors: the lower left corner representing Flowspade is off.

Aren't the CW boxsets general retail over there in China, Hong Kong, and SEA?

Yes, but this one was supposed to be something special being the Fan Built Combiner which they may have at one point thought made it worthy of the coin treatment, then changed their minds. None of the other UW coins say Combiner Wars on them so why else would this one? Coupled with the Autobot symbol this is what makes the most sense.

But the bright side is that the most common deco for that mold is white, meaning Groove can be easily dyed into whatever color we wish with minimal paint - Flamewar probably being the best for this particular team, if only the head were a bit rounder.RiddlerJ wrote:o.supreme wrote:It's just sad that the Legends class Motorcycle mold has four characters (3 from Hasbro and 1 from TT), and none of them are a Decepticon to go with Megatronia.

I probably should've stocked up myself before throwing that out there.

Easy Solution, Wreck-Gar and a decepticon sticker from reprolabels. The blinding bright orange should fit right in color-wise. Just make up your new character name and you're set. Or even keep him as Wreck-Gar and pretend he was capture/enslaved and turned into their lackey.

FYI - tfwiki has Astrotrain being released 1/28 and Megatronia on 1/31. The have Baldigus on 3/25 as you mentioned.

I guess I spoke too soon, I just got my notice from BBTS that Megatronia is in.

That would make sense if Hasbro Asia had produced any of these incentives for the Hasbro box sets. Which they haven't.
Unfortunately, just chalk it up to sloppiness on Hasbro Asia's part.

If you are talking about this - http://takaratomymall.jp/img/goods/4904 ... /comic.pdf
I think you are being really silly. They are just hugging.
But there are some rather...odd poses... as one scrolls through.
I kinda wish I knew what they were saying to see if its just my mind being dirty or not.
But then again it's not as bad as *shudder* kiss players.

I just love combiners with a uniform color scheme. Devastator, Victorion, and Computron are the champions. Bruticus and Defensor are not perfect, but the members don't clash too much with each others. But Megatronia, Liokaiser, Optimus Maximus, Galvatronus, and the likes, I really don't apreciate.
Still, if one like the colors and don't own the Victorion original, Megatronia WILL be a solid purchase.
Posted by WreckerJack on January 28th, 2017 @ 7:36am CST
Megatronia and her team will be having a meeting with Decepticon HR after this I am sure. Though it is kinda cool that according to the comic that the matrix is the oracle in Japan.

See, that image just makes me cringe at the awful cacophony of metal screeching on metal that must be happening in that bathhouse. Like the sound of two cars slowly scraping against one another.

It has been speculated by some that certain parts are softer and more flexible on Transformers (hush your filthy mind).
I was referring to their palms and mouths.

I would agree with that theory. Their lips could not move when they speak if they were rigid. Otherwise they would just have a panel that goes up and down. That and they would not be able to touch one another easily. One bot would try to help another bot up or give them a high five and BAM! Everyone has dents. Cars do have parts that are rubber, leather and silicone so I would assume that those parts could make up joints and other parts that are made not to be fully armored.
Well gee, I am sorry that I can't read Japanese and the site is hard to navigate. No need to be snippy.
