Did anyone notice Refraktor has no battle damage painting?

Ordered 2 and should be here by Sunday. Red Alert showed as a preorder and as for Brunt, I ordered him from Walmart last week but that listing isn't there anymore.

Aaaaaaaand out of stock.

Went to order 3 of Refraktor and they said unavalible. So, ordered 1 and went back to look afterwords,....sold out. I must of got the last they had. Now time to hunt for a case set.

If you'll allow me, I'd like to gush for a few minutes about SMASHDOWN



This lil guy is, no joke, one of the best toys I've bought in a while. He's a bull! That's also a hammer! Yes pls!

Okay, dialing it back a bit, I think why this guy excites me so much is he's just the perfect brand of goofy fun. I think this is what the battle masters should maybe focus on rather than 8 million of the same double barreled gun.

For something with such limited posability, he's actually surprisingly dynamic in both modes. The huge blast effect gives the hammer a real sense of weight and impact, and his hunched shoulders and bulky limbs definitely evoke a bruiser type aesthetic.

I guess my only real complaint is that the handle is a little short. I would love a longer handle that turned this guy into a two handed warhammer, but ultimately, that a very minor nitpick on a toy that's super fun.

In the end, I love him and ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ gib more hammer pls hasbro. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Here's a glut of pictures from me screwing around with him. sorry not sorry

I ordered brunt from Amazon.com and he's supposed to be delivered (here in Germany) tomorrow.

Meanwhile, every one is in for a shock when wheel jack transforms into a selfie stick, let the earth modes commence!

NOOO, we had enough earth modes so far
It's time for some futuristic alien stuff

Wow Brunt got popular fast for such a obscure character. Looks like a case of "chase figure" to me.

Good catch. Maybe Hasbro figures fans will get three, and all of them having roughly the same war-paint would be kind of weird.

Not that it doesn't get rough..

I saw the Decepticon Sports Car Patrol in a Target in Baltimore, MD on Monday. Didn't pay it any mind, as I was searching for Springer.

*Now has the GaoGaiGar theme playing in his head*
A custom gold version of smash down would work snazzy (though a bigger one would be better) and we'd have a nice Goldion Hammer homage

Either that or they thought a camera with battle damage would look odd.

Your Photos are making me think more about getting Peime if he ever shows up in my area...

*bad thoughts! Bad, no money thoughts*

SO awesome thanks Flashwave!

I think refraktors lack of battle damage is Pteraxodon was running empty after flying over the seekers. There is no way that is battle damage on their wings.

Yea, some of the paint marks look indeed more like "splashes" than scratches.

At noon EST back in stock

I get Refractor Out of Stock, Red Alert as Pre-Order

Smashdown is a load of bull

Wasnt in time for Refraktor, but I did get this two minutes away from work during lunch -

So I just opened Greenlight and ran her through all of her forms. I knew they changed her forarms, but damn it janks up the transformation. But that mold never rolled anyway because of the back nipples. But I felt I was doing something wrong when trying to transform her into a car and pulled out the box and noticed something doesn't match up?




Hasbro, you so cray

She does look good with the other green bot of the week though.



Even on my third version of the mold I still like Greenlight. The colors are so nice and that green windshield and other translucent parts are so lovely.

Speaking of Hasbro and crazy, anyone else notices that Daz(z)lestrike turns into a Shadownsteel Iceblade with flame effect?



Play nice now you two!

Uh, the packaging still shows the old torso part. But what did feel wront while transforming her?

Into a wot?

Lunatic Prime wrote:Uh, the packaging still shows the old torso part. But what did feel wront while transforming her?

The arms in alt mode. The "cuffs" awkwardly slide over other parts. It feels wrong and incorrect. The instructions don't help much as it almost makes it seem they should slide inside the wheel well. Not that she'll ever be in alt mode again.

Typo, shadowsteel iceblade.

But this mold's alt mode looks so nice I only bought Moonracer and Novastar for their vehicle and arm modes.

Typo, shadowsteel iceblade.

As the SIEGE figures all have 5 mm ports on the underside of their feet it's a pity you can't rotate Lionizer's head the other way round or otherwise you could actually give a bot iceskates now with having two of the mold

Shadow steel Iceblade... yet it has a flame effect?

Ok Hasbro...

Nathaniel Prime wrote:Shadow steel Iceblade... yet it has a flame effect?

Ok Hasbro...

Well Lionizer turns into a RS Firesteel Saber so maybe the effects are mixed up?

Or just their names. I don't think the light green of Daz(z)lestrike works well with an ice themed character.
And now I get why you put the z into brackets.

Do you mean the names of the characters or the names of the sword types? I can see the latter, but not the former. Although, Dazzlestrike's minor color touch works better for an ice sword than what Lionizer's body color is supposed to be. Which is to say, orange.

I see the slash that comes with Lionizer as more of a generic "moving air" slash effect.

I've played a lot of RPGs over the years and it's never a bad idea to dual wield status effects

I meant the characters' ones but yes, the weapon's names would work even better considering Dazzlestrike's name.

Although, Dazzlestrike's minor color touch works better for an ice sword than what Lionizer's body color is supposed to be. Which is to say, orange.

But I don't go after what a character's color is supposed to be. Or does Lionizer look orange to you when you look at him?

So just exchange the weapons' names and everything is fine

Lunatic Prime wrote:\Or does Lionizer look orange to you when you look at him?

No, he does not look orange to me (yet, anyway. *looks at paints*). What he does look like is a cool sword for PotP Slash:

Nice! Smashdown looks like so much fun, I want to get a few of her and have multiple hammers and a minotaur by itself.

also, reflector still out of stock. Ugh it is gonna be so hard to find a 3rd

Damn! Refraktoris the hardest to find for me!!! I hope amazon save me!

I just double-checked TF wiki to be sure about Smashdown, but I haven't seen the instructions myself yet....Doesn't seem to indicate that this is a female....Just curious what the source of this was?

This wave has barely hit yet. People are getting too anxious. I’ve seen Wave 2 in droves. Wave 3 will eventually populate.

Finally found Springer, sitting there all lonely on a shelf in Walmart here in Virginia. Besides seeing the one at the Target in NC, that has been it on my side of the world!

Honestly, I kinda love the idea that she's female. I always want more femme bots that aren't traditionally feminine.

I like your attitude

What I want is a retool of Lionizer with a chainsaw blade. His body in weapon mode looks so much like the engine/drive part of a chainsaw.

As far as I know, Smashdown is genderless so far, but I like to think of Smashdown as a she, it makes sense to me and would be really awesome

Ok, I gots my Greenlight today, and it got me to wondering. . .

The Walmarts are overrun with Chromia pegwarmers that are practically worthless to me as Hasbro saw fit to strip her of her combiner post. Has anyone come up with a weapon mode for her that the Combiner can carry, like the extra Seacon? Seems a shame to let her go as she seems like she should be part of the team, but there's no place for her.

Brokebot... With the Female Autobots squad the combining is just a bonus feature. Why can't you want Chromia her for her own sake?

And I realized why she's not a combiner (beyond just combiners not being part of the SIEGE retail line): The new C.O.M.B.A.T-compatible feet with ankle tilts. HasTak presumably did not want to try also cramming a combiner hand/foot port in there in addition to the C.O.M.B.A.T foot platform ports.

Because there's not any reason to. It's just not an interesting enough figure in its own right.

She comes with more weapons and unique weapons at that than any of her other non-Weaponizer wavemates. Grenades and a thing for scopes and silencers, the girl’s hot. So hot she burns blue.

So hot she must be untouchable because she's the most common pegwarmer everywhere I go.
