[QUOTE="Cloud, post: 155525, member: 3943"] Love Legacy Menasor and thought the frame system makes sense, converting from Motormaster's trailer. The same can not be said for Devastator & Superion, and I'm still not biting on these teams even with these BTS writeups & images, as best a job as Mark does for Air Raid here. One thing I noticed --- and that's for my case only, not faulting Hasbro -- about the Combiners (CWs or Legacy/AotP) is that I don't convert them all that much. The torso bots are OK (except the execellent Legacy Motormaster, that toy is a bit of an engineering marvel all on its own), but limb members are almost universally boring and the Combiners end up just standing there on my top shelf looking good and nothing more. I'd rather pickup any other figures to fiddle with than bother with Combiners. It's too much to manage for play, and them standing at the back of the top shelf, accessible only with a step ladder, make me want to reach for them even less. So they're there mostly gathering dust. So I don't feel like spending $$$ to acquire the ever-more expensive new ones to replace the old ones, destined to the same fate. Nor do I really want to figure out how to get rid of the old ones. Only interested in getting Computron which I never had. [/QUOTE]
