No prob, I can get that for you on tomorrow. I don’t have an FP figures though.

btw this review has the pics that you want.

Grimmy’s TF Reviews: FansProject Crossfire 02 Combat Unit (with Energon Bruticus Maximus)

You probably already know that Warcry and Flameblast are repaints of their Swindle and Blast Off. Perhaps they are based off of this toy’s design?.. Image:Battle gaia.jpg - Transformers Wiki
The other 3 blacked out figures are unknown. Many think that they could be the Insecticons. Some think the five characters will combine together. That pic says, ‘Crossfire Side Story’ which doesn’t give a clear answer as to whether or not these are going to be combiners.

So, PowerCore Combiners suck. I bought Grimstone (AKA Dino Pope). Its a good idea, but I just don’t like it. The limbs automorph feature works sometimes and it took work to snap them into place. An impulse buy gone bad. What bad is that Wal-Mart doesn’t recognize the UPC of that fig. Oh well, still no sign of RTS figures. I did see a HA Barricade tonight though. It’s also another figure that went up in cost (32.97).

if you have a marshalls/tjmaxx/aj wright nearby you can score HA figs for around 15-20 each. much better then the 30+ people are raping for.

I became good friends with my marshalls this year. Snagged nearly all the tfa voyagers, the 3 walmart exclusive ultra universe figs (hardhead/skyfall/powerglide), and a couple HA’s. People reported seeing MP skywarps there too for $30. Might not be much left after xmas now but those chains came through great this year for catching up on stuff you may have missed out on, at bargain prices.

True, C_J. I became really familiar with Marshall’s after finding the Limited Edition Classics Drag Strip and Overkill there for $10. Kohl’s helped me out during the first Transformers movie when Bumblebee was almost impossible to find in stores. Kohl’s and TJ Maxx came in handy for quite a few waves of Transformers. And these stores are almost always right next to the big brand name store you just walked out of empty-handed.

This is crazy. This is like the 4th wave of toys that we’ve gotten before you guys…used to be the other way around. Toys would make it to Columbia and then maybe a few days later they’d be here.

yeah also if you’re having trouble finding RTS figures, kohls & walgreens are the hotspots atm. everyone and their mom seems to be scoring rts jazz & tracks there.

I know. I just started seeing Hailstorm, Thunderwing and the Conehead Seekers. What the Duece?!?!?

Satomi mentioned that to me. A new hunting ground :lol:

I’ll need to check my Walgreens again to see if there are any Thunderwings. I found Cliffjumper and Skullgrin at TRU yesterday. Bought them under the Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer (got an extra HFTD Terradive for free).

yeah the thunderwing wave was scarce in chicago a few weeks back but now everyone seems to have them.
for some reason blurr is still hard to find here though.

Terradive would make a sweet update to Hellbat from Victory.

bruticus is way too small compared to magnus.

so you happen to make the pics? id like to check out the size difference between mags and grim. grim should be bigger, but only something like a head or 2 maybe.

wow man, dev is looking hot. he used the same 2 bots for the arms, but im guessing the othet arm probably wasnt finished yet.

Totally forgot man, my bad. I’ll get them for you later.

I just went out to get Moe’s ($5 Mondays) and ran by Kohl’s. Tons of RTS Figures, uber pissed I didn’t check here first. Thanks for the suggestion fellas

Eh that certainly looks cool, but Devastator is so overrrated. Sure he was the original combiner but far from the coolest.

The Stunticons or Terrorcons are more deserving of the effort im my opinion. Those guys rocked.

Prepare to be disappointed then

Classics Magnus and Grimlock Comparison shot

Maybe he’s thinking about the FP Ultra Magnus.

indeed, i was.

You’re better off posting your request on TFW2005 under Toy Discussion.

I told you I only had Classics Magnus. I haven’t gotten my FP game on yet. I don’t really have a desire to get the add on as only got Magnus because I needed to get Skywarp. I find it ironic that I have to get the RTS Battle in Space pack only for Cyclonus (who most people think is Skywarp). Follow Satomi’s suggestion and post something on TFW. With the more die hard base over there, you will get what you are looking for :cool:

Any of you guys seen the comparisons of the RTS/ Generations Figures and the TakTomy United Line? Its sad how bad these things look side by side.

This is a Prime Example:
