Re: your favourite optimus prime combo

Wow, Enrg.Wingsaber connects with classics Prime?

If you can, try rotating Prime's grill&tires to the front; it'll give him a bigger look that's sell the combo better.

Considering the number of powerlinx points on Armada Prime, Jetfire, and Overload when combined, they could hold a number of Mini-Cons. Taken that into consideration, That would probably be the largest number of figures to combine with Prime to make a larger robot while keeping within the same toy line.

Thanks JLvatron.
I don't think just any Mini-con on any powerlinx point should count.
It should only count if the official Minicon of Prime, Jetfire, or Overload can connect to their respective master bot (in combined mode) AND still activate a feature.

Otherwise, Unicron would be the biggest combo with like 20, ...and that would be lame.

Alright, I get you then. Armada Prime, Jetfire, and Overload with Sparkplug, Comettor, and Rollout makes a complete 6 figure combination, the most number of figures to officially combine with an Optimus Prime at the same time. And best of all, it works in their alternate modes as well.

This probably makes the most sense, since there are no additional purchases that would need to be made in order to make the combinations. Just the standard 3 figures and all that comes in their boxes.

On a side note, In robot mode Armada / Energon Unicron can hold a total of 30 Mini-cons at once occupying all of his powerlinx points. He can hold 35 if you count the spaces in his arms, legs, and gut. 36 if you remove the missile in his chest and occupy it with a small Mini-con. More if certain Mini-cons are combined to each other while being connected, but that just seems silly.

I've displayed both of those Unicrons fully loaded up at the same time. It does look like a mess, and makes the wings incredibly heavy, plus it takes a long while with some trial and error to get certain smaller Mini-cons to where they are needed. All in all, I wouldn't suggest it without some greater scope to the display, like Unicron attacking Primus.

About that Classics Wing Prime, its pretty awesome. It sort of makes me want to see one with the OP units, just to actually see it.

I like the outer wing modification, angling those thrusters down really helps alot. I'm sure on the standard Wing Prime this would have greatly increased his impressiveness.

Re: your favourite optimus prime combo

I'm so sad I sold my Wingsaber... I'd actually have my Classics prime displayed like that...

Actually I like the slimness of his abdominals it gives him so much more character, the blockiness of Energon prime is the reason why I sold the whole combo

For me, Prime looks too thin compared to the add-ons, so it looks more like he's put on a power suit (like Rigley from the movie Aliens), rather than actually combining with Wingsaber.
