The mold used is the
1.Valdigus variant (it even has the TM NAS copyright stamped on them.) 2.The backpack cannon has additional slots where you can fit the back ramp 3.Cannon barrels are solid as compared to the G1 1985 version which was hollow (but the G1 version is much smoother where the barrel sticks out. 4.Onslaught's gun is shorter and has holes that allow you to "merge" his fellow Combaticons' weapons (like that of Landcross) but this feature isn't mentioned in the instruction sheet. 5.Destron sigil tampographed with the exception of Vortex (still using the good old paper label) 6.Bruticus head, hands and feet (include the canon barrel back pack) is darker gray compared to G1 1985.
Primary complaint is the neatness of the molding. Is this due to the master molding getting worn out? How to describe the degradation.........
1. Onslaught's arm sockets has been roughly cut (seen in previous pics) 2. There are like (scorched marks? that's how I describe it) on the entire body. Like the military green luster on him have an off and on quality making them appear to be uneven or lumpy when in fact it is smooth.
If you don't have a complete G1 set then get this one. This is heaven sent (personally I only own Onslaught and Blast-off) but if you own a complete set already well......... touche ;D

Picked up mine the other day from GT GH. I wouldn't exactly call it mold degredation but more along the lines of sloppy cutting of the plastic pieces on Onslaught. It generally looks like they twisted the parts off the sprue instead of neatly cutting the parts off.
The problems seem to be limited only to Onslaught though, the other Combaticons seem fine (I think?)

I agree, very obvious on Onslaught. His sheen is like off and on when you look at him. Compared to G1 but I keep him in Bruticus mode so not much of a problem.

finally got one in ebay.ph, cheaper too! VERY SATISFIED! my Swindle is not that yellow (or maybe its just the lighting?).. brownish similar to the orig G1.. and the rear lines up well unlike in the pic. well Onslaught really isnt molded well., but I don't care.. still worth it since the set is brand new.
