Mecha Mad and Figure Fixation V3.0

[Soundwave]

I was watching this video of a combiner TF that has Optimus and Jetfire in the mix.

->Open Spoiler<-

It looks top heavy though, so it got me wondering, what's the best Devastator figure?
Am I right in thinking there are some figures coming out that are combiners but with just three robots?
@Soundwave, any ideas?

The 3 robot Combiner is a 3rd party offering called Trinity Force (Road Ceaser) from TFC Toys
He looks good but VERY mixed reviews on the quality




As for Devastator you have 2 options.
The cheaper option is the Hasbro/Takara Combiner Wars/Unite Wars version
The Takara Unite Wars one is better as the paint apps are better but either would be good & around £150-£200 much better than option 2

Toyworld Constructor...he is an absolute beast but clocks in at around $500 for the full set of 6 figures but damn if he doesn't cut an impressive figure & he scales just as a combiner should with the MP line...

Here's pics of them all

Toy World Constructor (yes that is Masterpiece MP-10 Prime standing next to him!! )







Hasbro Combiner Wars (those are the actual Masterpiece Decepticons there too so he does scale well enough to consider for his reasonable cost)




Takara Unite Wars




And here's a guide to the difference's between the 2 versions & which is better



Hope that helps buddy

Thanks, [MENTION=7037]Soundwave[/MENTION]. I knew you'd come up trumps!
I'm not spending $500 dollars, though!

What's the score with the NBK one? What's the general opinion of that?


Oh, [MENTION=3144]Dogg Thang[/MENTION], they're so great.

I love how it's the same car, but they transform differently.

So tempted...

No worries buddy
Lol no me either
Was Ebaying the Hasbro one earlier & that is getting on for around £300 now as well

Hmmm can't say I really like that one
The Torso looks really off & the face is pretty poor too

Yeah, but it's £58 versus $300!

Ha ha thats a good point but sadly even at £58 I couldn't bring myself to buy it

Nanachi from Made In Abyss by Kotobukiya. I was surprised how small the figure is, and I absolutely love it. 3DS XL for size comparison.

I dug out my old Sunstreaker to compare. That's some difference:

Could someone advise me where would be the best place to buy this TF fig from please (when it’s released)?

Historically, I would have thought perhaps TrU?, but with that avenue a non starter, I’m not sure where to turn.

Preferably UK based and they do decent packaging.

Yeah the Unrustable Bastards look great & by all accounts they are awesome figures

Here's a review from one of the guys I follow on Twitter with some amazing pictures to boot
