Thank you for saying 'correct way' for the legs. Sure, it's G1 accurate for the other way, but it looks stupid with the exposed limbs. Besides, articulation is always better.
@@DrLockdown because they want u to buy their products and when u realize how terrible it is ur forced to buy upgrades to make it better. Long story short: THEY JUST WANT UR MONEY.
...uh...that makes no sense in the context of this three year old comment thread. We're talking about Hasbro configurations on a Hasbro figure that can be accessed without even laying a finger on 3P upgrades.
I got the Unite Warriors version. On its own, it's immediately 5 times more G1 accurate, comes with Slingshot (they don't call him Quickslinger...) instead of Alpha Bravo, and I have to agree with you; it's amazing. I just got the PC-03 sled and head and they're AMAZING!!! The hands and feet are on the way from Bejing, so I'll be waiting for awhile before I have the complete experience. Btw, if you make sure the neck piece on the new head isn't stuck up in the chin, the head stays on very nicely. Just make sure he isn't looking downwards and you'll be fine.
one fail on Firefly/Fireflight: the black line is cut in two on the UW version. the straight line looks strange, if it was separated in 2, it would have been even better.
you know. i wasn't going to get any upgrades for my superion, but seeing how all that looks all together.....IT'S DEFINITELY HAPPENING. that pose you had him in during the outro, fucking gorgeous.
The unite warriors set i much than worth it with the PC stuff, I bought it after watching your review and I have to say WOW My custom paint replaced the stickers and its amazing looking
I knew I wasn't the only one who called him Take-off. I was calling him that since his announcement. Glad to see that other people have the same nickname.
I really like this video because 1, it's awesome seeing what you did to make them better, and 2 it's also a good guide on how to make your Superion better, and even though I don't have any Combiner Wars Aerial bots I still like coming back to see this video.
I think the hip issue is an artifact of the way Firefly's sprues were set up. Firefly probably had the thighs and hips on different sprues, which didn't matter for him because they were going to be done in the same color. But when it was redone as Quickslinger, they couldn't mold the hips in black without molding some of the bigger white parts in black, so they decided the least intrusive option would be to just cast them in white and paint them black. Still frustrating, but figured someone would appreciate the insight.
Great review.. Though when painting your figures you should consider masking off the areas that don't need paint for smoother and straighter lines.. Testers spray paints, or Krylon Shortcuts should make the job easier.. I myself made a mess of trying to paint Fireflight into Slingshot 3 times and failed, but succeeded in making advances, but eventually I ended up like you. I bought a Quickslinger and gave it the United Warriors treatment.. Because of your review I purchased the Reprolabels upgrade and the PC-03..
Great video. the only problem I have with a lot of the combiners is that a lot of the combiners only have five bots or cons total that form the super robot. Devastator, my favorite, has six. The robot that forms the shoulder, chest, and torso is one robot and on devastator it's two robots
it looks sliiiiiightly different, with the chest gettinf a massive overhaul. which from what I remember, computron was a repaint or superion (chest wise) in the first place
visually, sure. but unless 3 different reviewers are all blind to the same missed feature, it turns the legs into something even less functional and for animation, what's the point of that?
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Wish I had that, it's true. But 'same leg pose' isn't exactly true. You still get forward or backward motion depending on how you orient the legs, and there's still a swivel too. There's only a tad less or articulation, so I wouldn't say it's completely gone.
I've thought about it, but it's a lot of work because there's no predefined shape for it to go. might actually be easier to glue a tail fin that doesn't rotate to the end and rip the rubber bits off, but idk if I'll end up ever doing that
I am waiting for bicep covers thigh extensions for superion. I wish they modded Alfa Bravo arms to be Gatling Guns instead of missiles. Maybe Blades and Alfabravo will get third party arms and Skydive a new tail.
I love this this is the Mega version of Superion but i would prefere the cartoony viser face and superion being combined with Alpha Barvo instead of fireflies twin brother and one question can the new head fit inside of silverbolt? Like the old head is isnide of silverbolt's chest?
@07:12 - LOL. I agree. I know CW Devastator is cheaper but I'd still rather, and plan to, have TFC's Hercules. Yeah, I only the hands and feet, along with some combiner port extensions, and it's a VAAAAAST improvement. Great review as always.
Slingshot is marked up to 4x the price in my country, it's ridiculous! So I bought a CBB Blast Off and colored him in the Unite Warriors color scheme. That costs me $8 as a whole (CBB Figure + Spray paint). Best custom job I ever had to do.
Excellent review. I think you may have talked me into trying to find this guy, as well as do the same upgrades that you did. He looks awesome, and the other combiner that I have is a version of devastator you compared him to. This guy looks great.
i haven't seen too much of the robot modes besides the fact that I wasn't crazy over the heads, I just remember loving the vehicles. though I don't see the point of having them if the end result suffers
+ZetZatar agreed! well for the nads and feet anyway. if you plan to never move Menasor from his spot, then PE chest upgrades are essential for Menasor too = P
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Menasor can be amazing! I'v got the unite warriors one, BlackJack put like on a lot of pictures, the hands and feet from PE, turned the waist around, cutom paint, and it is almost as good as Superion! (exept for leg posability ^^)
i might've if I still had that figure, though at the same time the upgrades for the chest turns the leg articulation into a static stance. thaaaaaat doesn't work for me
CW Superion is really great I still need to pick him up and the others to go with my defensor, but I'll be doing him the alpha bravo configuration and I'll repaint powerglide into slingshot
Great video man! I think you're right, Superion is clearly the winner of combiner wars. The hands and feet from Perfect Effect are so damn good hey, I'm still on the fence about the chest and head upgrade. I've still got Alpha Bravo and Dragstrip as team members of my Superion and still it's mega wicked. Not sure I want to fork out AU$130 for Quickslinger and Air Raid just yet but it'll happen... damn scalpers
I had some grand ambitious project planned in the past where AB got fed up of being the third wheel so he convinced took he wasn't wanted either, teamed up with Take off and Offroad and made their own combiner. It never happened haha
With all the stuff you added on they look great except for the fact that I still see arms on Superion's legs. I may buy the Combiner Wars Aerialbots & Constructicons but I'll be putting my pre order in for the 1st two Zeta Toys Aerialbots. Friday.
There is a upgrade set for defensor that makes him loom absolutely amazing and almost 100% g1 accurate and is my favorite combiner because of this set its the c+custom THC-02J but its quite expensive
I know this vid was posted 6 years ago and maybe the perfect effect is out of stock but if you use pc02 and pc04 on menasor he becomesway better than he used to be
@@TheLazyEyebrow oh ok i see your point the crotch piece makes it hard for it to move he cant make his legs go backwards only fowards but desing itself looks cool
If you don't mind me asking, what companies do you buy from??? I'm just starting my collection and am trying to find different businesses that have good deals.
Youll never see this but i used the cw g2 slingshot for my superion because i like g2 slingshot i even have the original which ive so lovingly repaired every single time ive dropped him
Don't want to deal with having to go through the trouble of finding a quickslinger? Just forget Hasbro and get unite warriors, also they fix the wings for slingshot and fireflight, yes Takara decided to use the G1 names
Great review! I still need myself a Quickslinger, those PE hands and feet plus that chest piece and head. It might be awhile before I can do this but it will be worth it!
I will set the hands and feet aside, because I bought the purple hands and feet for my bruticus, and they don't really work very well for me, and I don't care, proof of this is that I love toyworld constructor
Thank you for saying 'correct way' for the legs. Sure, it's G1 accurate for the other way, but it looks stupid with the exposed limbs. Besides, articulation is always better.
I know! plus, I really like the planes being visible. like, why are we trying to hide what the limbs are made of on Menasor and Superion?
Exactly. Why would anyone want to make their figures look worse?
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer do you have computron

+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer where did you get your perfect effect sets from?
+Autobot Ironhide Ebay
Quickslinger then: CAD 63
Quickslinger now: *CAD 80*
Can you leave the link to the perfect combiner PC-05 (aka the perfect effect hands and feet)
There is a way to get knee articulation with the nosecones on the back. Use Silverbolts elbows
Is hircules still cool?If he isn’t than you don’t like decostateor.
Wtf are you even saying lmao
Hey where did you get the foot and hand upgrade kit? Because I'm also going to get a superion.
I wonder what the Untie Warriors version would look like with all those reprolabels and upgrade kits.
perfect effect will look fantastic, reprolabels won't work on any of the deluxe figures, but maaaaybe Unite Silverbolt
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Only one way to find out.
+LegoGnocchi Also, do you know if the Perfect Effect PC-11 head will be a repaint of the PC-03 head?
it looks sliiiiiightly different, with the chest gettinf a massive overhaul. which from what I remember, computron was a repaint or superion (chest wise) in the first place
+LegoGnocchi I got it its a much better set quality whise and a liiiitle bit colorwhise
Does anybody know where I can get the upgrade kits from canada?
do u know where can i buy the hand and foot upgrades?
+Voo Zhanli BBTS, TFSource, TheChosenPrime, Ages3andUp.... take your pick. google is a wonderful tool
Would the upgrade kit suit the g2 version..?
iirc they made a G2 kit specifically. good luck finding it, it's 7or 8 years old by now
You made Superion WAY superior. I had to. But I'm serious. It looks better than any Hasbro combiner any made.
The PE Menasor set actually fixes the combined mode quite well.
visually, sure. but unless 3 different reviewers are all blind to the same missed feature, it turns the legs into something even less functional and for animation, what's the point of that?
Not everyone animates, hence why people enjoy this and light piping.
Haha I get that, and for those people, if they plan on enjoying the same leg pose forever, it definitely fixes a lot of the visual issues.
me personally, I'm still all for Fansproject Intimidator
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Wish I had that, it's true. But 'same leg pose' isn't exactly true. You still get forward or backward motion depending on how you orient the legs, and there's still a swivel too. There's only a tad less or articulation, so I wouldn't say it's completely gone.
Is that the Dollarama on Queen Street, Toronto?
i think it is, it was the first image i saw in the search (but it did look familiar I will admit = P)
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Can you swap Skydive's tail end out with Quickslinger's
I've thought about it, but it's a lot of work because there's no predefined shape for it to go. might actually be easier to glue a tail fin that doesn't rotate to the end and rip the rubber bits off, but idk if I'll end up ever doing that
I am waiting for bicep covers thigh extensions for superion. I wish they modded Alfa Bravo arms to be Gatling Guns instead of missiles. Maybe Blades and Alfabravo will get third party arms and Skydive a new tail.
Actually the warbatron or jinbao ain't that bad when it comes to complexity the engineering is like early 2000s transformers with some combiner wars
In my opinion, the perfect effect feet make the combiners look like they came out of hot wheels acceleracers
Yeah, I got the Takara version with the PE hands and feet.
if possible, would u be able to get warbotron aka not bruticus?
+Christopher Melcher if possible, yes. but it's not really. so, sorry.
Its ok btw u are one of the best reviewers out on RUclips now keep it up also congrats on soon be being a father
I love this this is the Mega version of Superion but i would prefere the cartoony viser face and superion being combined with Alpha Barvo instead of fireflies twin brother and one question can the new head fit inside of silverbolt? Like the old head is isnide of silverbolt's chest?
I wasn't going to bother with the upgrade kits myself but now after your review ITS A MUST HAVE!!!!! proof you don't need expensive 3rd party figures.
proof indeed. just goes to show what HasTak can accomplish when they actually care, amd what a few extra parts here and there cam help with
Hey lazy with face did you go with g1 show or comics for the big guy?
comic book
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer ah
@07:12 - LOL. I agree. I know CW Devastator is cheaper but I'd still rather, and plan to, have TFC's Hercules. Yeah, I only the hands and feet, along with some combiner port extensions, and it's a VAAAAAST improvement. Great review as always.
It's a good scale for the MP line I'll give it that, but none of the other combiners arr that size so, lame = P
The upgrades make him a superior Superion.😋
Could anyone send I link to the chest plate and head upgrade kit
This is several years late, what if you own the g2 superion?
I'm looking on ebay for the perfect effect hands and feet but the cheapest one I found was 150 $ any idea where to get cheap Hans and feet
keep hunting. best case scenario, you stumble on a cheap set one day
Hey thanks for the advice I got both combiner wars bruticus and superion because of you keep up the great work
I think hasbro should have released the toy like this because your version is so much better
thelazyeyebrowreviewer are you going to get the menasor upgrade kit
I'd have to have Menasor first
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer ok
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer wait what did you do with the combiner wars disgrace to menasor
I agree with you on all points for superion, and those are the same reasons he's my fav combiner
+alex v reviews awesome = )
Are you probably gonna get the perfect effect stuff for menasor, and probably review it
nope, I ditched Menasor the day after it was discovered he was a big pile of garbage
quickslinger looks bland coming from the guy with the unite warrior set lol
How much do most upgrade sets cost?
megatron prime I got bruticus feet and hands for 35 dollars
Ok. So you purchased each one of the stickers individually.
Only problem is now j can't find the chest upgrades anywgere
Try the nonnef feet and hands when they are in stock. I think they fit the proportions better.
i like the ball joint on them, they look far more sturdy, but idk, I like what I got
Slingshot is marked up to 4x the price in my country, it's ridiculous! So I bought a CBB Blast Off and colored him in the Unite Warriors color scheme. That costs me $8 as a whole (CBB Figure + Spray paint). Best custom job I ever had to do.
i cant really take superion seriously with silverbolts hands behind his knees.Is there a way to fix it?Pls reply i really need the tip.
I just got the G2 box set. And he looks AMAZING! I'm probably gonna buy PE hands and feet if they made a kit.
they most certainly did. and the best part is, that instead of having to hunt down two sets, they combined them for the G2 superion
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I wish I could afford the perfect effect upgrades, but I cannot.

why are the hand/foot/gun accesories even made?
great review man, you thinking of doing the same for menasor? I think the perfect effect kit is a bigger and more interesting modification
i might've if I still had that figure, though at the same time the upgrades for the chest turns the leg articulation into a static stance. thaaaaaat doesn't work for me
give him a removeabal glass which swaps for a cracked one and a missing arm and I'll give this company 1000000/10

scalpers are the worst. if you had to pick between the two upgrades, hand feet. like I said, it's practically mandatory
but given the dollar's shape, no problem if you never get either = P
Oh yeah I've got the hands and feet, makes it 10 times better. He qualifies to go in the masterpiece cabinets :)
I got the Takara version and DW upgrades. I like them more than PE, But to each his own.
Now it looks like that if one of the limb Aerial bots are damaged in battle then Alpha Bravo takes their place
I had some grand ambitious project planned in the past where AB got fed up of being the third wheel so he convinced took he wasn't wanted either, teamed up with Take off and Offroad and made their own combiner. It never happened haha

Well now I'm looking back regretting not getting a quickslinger when I could, seeing as they go for about 100$ now
i got a quick slinger for 15$ but for those who want one get a blast off and repaint him
Out of curiosity, since Superion is your favorite, did you get the G2 box set? I'm curious to see Superion and his '70's psychedelic twin together...
More like R4D1C4L 90S NEON
is it just me or does the transformation and head remind me alot of leader-1
8:49 exactly what I was thinking
