He's honestly a pretty cool little figure. I originally did get him just as you said, but the shit eating grin and somewhat cool for a Legends figure transformation where his back just sort of hinges out and makes him balloon up into a little truck is fun.

I'm actually thinking of maybe even getting the 3P version of him if it has a similar shit eating grin. Only thing I wish he had was thigh swivels, same as the Legends Seekers. Only thing keeping a good Legends from being a great one.

There's a few mods you can do to give him a cleaner backpack. That "tailbone" piece for example can be cut up and placed on spots on the feet (where they plug in in altmode).

Cutting some of the clear plastic of the windshield that attaches onto the roof also frees up the rivet there to work like some sorta swivel to further collapse the backpack.

Honestly I rather just have good toys of those characters without the gimmick.
I have never like headmasters as a gimmick it always seemed like a downgrade from combiners in general.
The head doesn't have an alt mode it's just a Polly pocket level figure that turns into the robots head.
Hell these new ones are even worse. They don't even hide the face on their back like the old 87 ones. They just always have a big face hanging off their back.

I've seen some comments that people here didn't like Groove that much? I know most people find combiner wars figures simple since they had to fit in a combination port, but I found Groove to be a pretty good figure compared to many of the deluxe figures they already released.

The only fault I found was getting the split wheel to combine, but other than that, It's fantastic.

>The only fault I found was getting the split wheel to combine, but other than that, It's fantastic.

That's pretty much it. Vehicle mode doesn't really fit with the aesthetics of the rest of the line (a bit like how the Beast Wars Neo figures have a distinct Japanese style compared to the western Beast Wars toys), but whether or not that bothers you is subjective.

The motorcycle standing up without external support is a big bonus, and he looks like G1 Groove in both modes. I must say he looks a little out of place on Hasbro Defensor in my opinion though. While I can't pinpoint exactly what it is, it comes back to having a distinct aesthetic that singles him out from his western crew. Maybe it's just me.

Either way the point is I like him.

Use a rubber band between the screw head and the screwdriver. Usually gets it out unless the screw you have is 100% fucked

Yeah, the head is completely fucked. Like, there is no screwdriver that will grip the head because the head is basically completely cored out.

If the head is that fucked, what you could (and I say this with caution) try doing is hammering the screwdriver into the screw head. Since the metal is that soft you could use that to get a grip and remove the head

Jetfire is sweet in jet mode, but I find him to be very bland in bot mode. Probably because of all the hollow plastic showing and the lack of details.
>>
>>5724947
Here's how to fix Headmasters: Just add a second head that can fold out and make the headmaster peg onto the underside of it or something. Or have them slip over the real head like a helmet.

Then you have a complete toy and a little pilot figure that can be a super mode head.

>Downsized UW Devs

That would be god-tier. The biggest problem with the toys is that they feel really hollow for their size. Add in some working cranes and stuff and it'd be perfect.
>>
>>5725263
You can get KOs of the cassete guys for pretty cheap. If that's Razorbeast in the top left avoid him. I've had him since I was a kid and he's both a really poor toy and a horrendously overpriced one.

I like Jetfire but some people don't like the undersides of his wings. He's a fun toy though and looks amazing with his Valkyrie mask on.

>>5725353
Best thing to do is get a tiny drillbit and a dremel and cut a straight line through the head of the screw. Then you can use a flathead screwdriver to get it out.

Which of the Devys released so far is best for scaling with CW combiners? Obviously not Toyworld or Hasbro, what about Maketoys and TFC?
>>
>>5725648
From what I've seen it'll never be perfect, 6 members to make one scaled cw gestalt?

Either gestalt is too big or the individual members are too small, hastak's devvy is just oversized for the sake of a titan class release
>>
>>5725650
Yeah, but which one doesn't look completely out of whack in terms of scale, in both combined and individual modes?

Hercules, if you have your cw combiners with their add on feet they're almost the same height.
>>
>>5725648
Hercules members are all voyager-ish, so Herc ends up being slightly bigger than CW (which works when you think about him being made of 6 versus 5 guys).

Giant is made of deluxe-ish guys and thus hits the CW size more closely when combined.

Ultimately, it's up to personal preference. I happen to have Hercules and I'm fine with Devastator being bigger than most.
>>

Devy is supposed to be the biggest in canon anyway, also Hercules aesthetic looks pretty similiar to generations/cw.

I'm sorry, but when you have no problem with a combiner made out of cars and trucks being the same size as a robot made out of jets, I think you forfeit the right to complain about scale.
>>
>>5725713
>>5725721
On one hand I agree about the whole scale argument being fucking bullshit with the whole groove thing.

On the other provided we have nostalgia glasses on or even just look in IDW (while holding back the vomit) devvy was the same size as the other combiners despite being a 6 man team.

Devvy never made sense, seeing how his g1 toy wasn't made with the same idea as the rest

>>5725721
Yeah, but when you have a line of combiners a rule of thumb is to not make one of them twice the height of the others in gestalt mode

Mass shifting exists. Do you see anyone complaining that Classics Henkei Megatron isn't WST size? It's the same thing here. Literally every cartoon, comic or video game and with the og g1 toy Devastator is the same height as the other combiners.
