Combiner Wars Wasn’t All That Bad Right? | #transformers Combiner Wars Liokaiser Review
Imo, combiner wars was pretty good, but there was just too much. Especially in terms of repaints.
This was a pretty decent set..they just didn't go as far as they could have since it was a quick repurpose of SkyLynx/Superion.
I think the reason they used the sky lynx mold is because it looks the most similar in combined mode.
I feel like there was such a missed opportunity by Hasbro not repainting POTP Starscream as a Leozack and maybe even retooling/remolding POTP Beachcomber to be able to become a chestplate or gun so they could make Jallguar
This Hasbro's lazy product is just a shame compared with Iron Factory's version of Liokiser.
Despite most combiner wars combiners not looking great especially menasor, I always loved their goofy ass look
Maybe nostalgia makes me say it, but I say that Titans Return, Combiner Wars and Power of the Prime were peak for the time
Combiner Wars had to do a lot on a low budget. I think the biggest handicapp was the scramble city style which I was never a big fan of. I'd rather have dedicated combination if it means unique engineering. Hasbro's Devastator and Predaking being a good example. The hands and feet they are sold with for combined mode are lame no doubt but it's a double edged sword. They were trying to deal with the loose parts in a way that could be weaponized at least and still scramble city style. 3rd party options look and function much better in combined mode but have zero integration otherwise. Also while some decos in this set are better then others the reason they look the way they do is to be accurate to the source. As paint apps go, even the worse looking figures are still much better looking then your average combiner wars because the set is a premium deco.
Liokaiser is definitely gonna be the Haslab for 2025, or at least I hope so
I found one on eBay for only £75, until I saw it was in London
Coming from the Uni trilogy and then the movies, Combiner Wars was everything I ever wanted. Good combiners that was more than 3 bots was a non-starter. With the P/E addon kits the combiner war designs were great.
I’m glad you like this figure. He was one that I definitely enjoyed when he first came out but after a while of him just sitting in a bin, I recently sold him to a local toy store. I hope whoever buys him next will have more fun with him.
Was fortunate enough to get this combiner back around 2016 for a decent price, though never had any luck with the 3rd party combiner hands and feet, so I just left the tanks untransformed to gain the extra height to make the arms less big. Disappointed no company had a go at making combining 3rd party fig versions of Liozak and Jallguar that could combine into main Liokaiser body to replace the Dezarus fig, but I suppose not many would get a Liokaiser and wanting to upgrade compared to the other sets (even though they made a Computron upgrade kit).
One of my favorite CW combiners too. The standard hands and feet work better proportionally if you leave the lower sections of the tank in tank mode, which makes the legs a bit longer.
Great review! The PE hands and feet are essential with any of the Combiner Wars gestalts. I used the dark blue KO Abominus set for my LioKaiser because the spiky knuckles seemed more appropriate for this character.
Nice vid man love it. The little bit at the start was funny and that menasor mention as well. That thing is so wacky 🤣. Great content 👍.
My main issue was some countries (mine included) didn't get every set released. Several were skipped like set 2 and 4 and that caused an issue for those that had set 1 as you had four parts to Superion and 1 part for Menasor.
I never got a full combiner from combiner wars and potp, but I did get assorted figures, enough to make my own custom combiner. I use sludge and slug as legs, darkwing and dreadwind as arms, and either silverbolt or onslaught as the torso. It’s actually really to mess around and customize with combiner wars figures
i enjoyed the old 2007-2010 movie toy lines cuz each fig had some sort articulation different with each fig, but was still decent imo
Your dad wearing a Trek shirt, drinking a Trek drink, with a Wars hat!!!!! Classic!!!🙂🙂
