Miles works at Sainsbury's. Sainsbury's sells Transformers. We both chipped in and bought a Superion. Yes. That's the Autobot's first combiner, which the Aerialbots make up.
It's Revenge of the Fallen era, not a classic remake (which is odd because Superion certainly wasn't in that film) so I am a little disappointed that Silverbolt isn't still a Concorde with vertigo. But they look okay, ignoring weapons kibble which looks a tad ridiculous. Now, as I know someone here is already aware of the state of current Transformer instruction sheets - said someone is a wonderful someone who bought me two of my favourite Transformers as presents (and I will find a way to pay you back in kind one day) Ravage and Grimlock - I shall give only a brief overview:
They're awful. The instructions for both Transformers I've recently acquired were unclear, baffling and fundamentally flawed. The sheets are small, as are the drawings, so you cannot tell what little bit is meant to go where. Added to this is the fact that these days Transformers are significantly more difficult that when I was younger (I have an Original Optimus Prime - EASY)
EACH OF THE FIVE AERIALBOTS IS OF GRIMLOCK-ESQUE DIFFICULTY. Not as hard as Ravage who is singularly difficult - he's perfect so he gets let off - but still a problem. I just spent about 30 minutes trying to do Silverbolt alone. There's still Fireflight, Air-Raid, Skydive and Airazor. Then they have to combine to make Superion.
This is likely to tax our brains to dangerous levels. My mind may well be melted.
So... Can I use Superion as a Necron?
