Shortpacked!: Impotent liberal rage!
So last week while Graham was taking his driving test (he passed!), I was next door checking out the Big Lots. They always have great knockoffs, and sweet baby Jesus, they had that knockoff combiner made of oversized Legends-class Transformers. The arms are Hot Shots! So, of course, I kinda had to get it. Dude, it's a combiner with >Hot Shots for arms. And his name is "SUPER TRANSFORM ULTIMATE END GENERAL MOBILIZATION."
There's a new balljoint hole added to "Hot Shot"'s sides, and these holes socket with a balljoint ball on the combiner torso. Meanwhile, instead of hands, he has... tongs. This combiner won't be much good unless he's battling a salad bar.
This thing is not stable. The connection point at the knees, where it shallowly pegs into the tops of the two knockoff Optimus Primes, is not at all secure. It is a precarious balancing act.
The components are also sold separately, but they're all called "Excellion" on their packaging, so I've given most of the components names of my own. The yellow "Hot Shot" is of course Hot Shot, the red one is Excellion, the gray and red "Soundwave" that slots into the torso piece is Blaster, the red" Prime" is Optimus Prime, and I haven't decided on whether the yellow "Prime" is Erector or Sureshot. (There is a real yellow Optimus Prime I can name it after, but I don't want both of them to be named Optimus Prime.) The remaining torso piece is Stumpor.
The combined mode won't fit into my display case, but I'll figure something out.
