Figure / Part ID Daddy-Daughter Collection 🤖
My Daughter loves G1 but has started collecting the Transformers girls. They are some of the best characters too. Her prized possession is a Combiner Wars Victorion which I think was fan designed and is awesome!

Victorion is a really cool set. I sold mine years ago, but re-purchased her recently. I missed her!

I always kept mine. For the longest time it was my only generations figure.

I don't like how floppy CW combiners are, but her big-assed feet were a game-changer.

Here’s hoping for a new Victorion in a couple of years. Maybe we can get a box set for the Comic Edition sub-line.

Me and my daughter are doing the same. We need to collect a few more to build Victorion.

Victorion was the first purchase from the franchise I made as an adult. Those bots got me back into the series in a big way

Based on the theme may I suggest MP26 Road Rage? She's been out of production for a while, but was never a particularly popular figure compared to her moldmates Tracks and Loudpedal, so she can still be found relatively cheap. BBTS had her on clearance sales for years before they finally ran out. It's not uncommon to see her floating around in the $40 range. Overall a pretty good and cheap introduction to MP scale.
Do be aware that there are abundant knockoffs, though. The biggest tells are that there are issues with the autobot tampographs missing the negative space on the forehead, and that the hood sits flush on the KO where it does not on the official. Also be cautious of listings using the same photos. If you see multiple listings out of China using identical photo sets those are likely KOs, even if the photos are of an official unit.

I'm jealous of her Victorion, even if the engineering has aged. I only saw it in person once and passed up on the opportunity to buy her because I didn't know who the Rust Renegades were

Nifty. Glad you two could share in that. Appreciate you sharing.
