The flight pack is from an SD(super deformed) version of Nemesis Prime which can be used on any Henkei Prime figure. It just looks way better on Nemesis than Optimus.

Chaos/Paladin - Maketoys
I just love combiners and this is no exception. The main body can transform into a hovertank-carrying-sword thingy and the limbs can be removed to form a mobile missile launcher. And together they combine to form Chaos Paladin(?) as shown in the pics.
Alpha Fighter AFC-01I - Aoshima (Mospeada)
Something I've always wanted from young. Ever since I watched the anime, played the pen & paper rpg and the arcade game, I've always wanted an Alpha fighter and a Veritech Fighter. (and an SDF-1; transformable battleship??!! Gimmeh!) Something about the transformation just appeals to me; simplistic and ingenius.
I've been putting off getting one because of other "commitments" aka Transformers, but now I finally got my hands on one. This version is by Aoshima , it's got good level of detail (better if you follow the instructions and apply all the stickers) and it has die-cast metal parts reminiscent of early transformable toys. Only drawback is that due to its age, the glue which holds certain missile flaps has hardened and the parts tend to come off. The arm joints are rather loose and the hip joints don't swing outwards (design fault or limitation due to transformation?) and tends to lose some poseability because of this. Regardless, it's still a rather decent representation.
Added some pics of the figure in fighter mode with decals applied.

Nova Prime - Maketoys Hyper Novae
Joints are tight! Some are too tight for comfort. But overall a really nice representation of Nova Prime. He eventually absorbs the Heart of Darkness and turns into Nemesis Prime...

Superion - TFC Uranos
The reason I did not show them in it's combined mode is that the combined mode really disappointed me. Individually the bots look great but combined? I feel like I've wasted 500 bucks. Search the forums and you'll notice one glaring problem, there's a problem with his legs. The hips are on ratchet joints and aren't tight enough for him to stand properly. He's prone to doing leg splits if placed on a smooth surface like a glass table top. Also, the ratchet joints cause the legs to split either too narrow or too wide an angle which just makes the combined form look like he's tilted to one side when standing and that really sucks since he doesn't come cheap. TFC really screwed up and practically made me lose faith in them after this debacle. The Warbotron series really looks promising but its size, scale and pricing would probably put me off them. I'd rather stick to companies with a more consistent track record in my book.
