More Transformers goodness that has been sitting there for about 6 months now.
One of the more awesome things to come out of the PotP line was Abominus, the combiner formed from the Terrorcons. This combiner was, as expected, a G1 character that was released to oppose Computron, whose updated set was release during the Combiner Wars line. Unlike Computron, however, Abominus saw zero screen time during the recent animated trilogy, which is a shame because I'd like to have seen him interact with Computron.
I had cracked open Hun-Grr and Rippersnapper last year, but gotten the rest of the team by the Summer. didn't really open anything else up because I was waiting for the one thing to bring them all together - the Transform Dreamwave upgrade kit.
Transform Dreamwave (TDW) is one of the newer 3P companies to come on the scene, and effectively presents itself as better valued Perfect Effects (PE) alternative. I only have one PE upgrade kit - the one for Computron, so I can't really comment on any of their hands and feet options. But the PE stuff I did get was very well made, and Abominus needed some love so I figured why not?
Well, the set finally arrived, and I unpacked everything and did some photos, made some notes, and now present to you my findings, starting with my assessment of the rest of the Terrorcon team.
As with most combiner limbs, regardless of the era, they're generally functional in all modes with no real winner as there is reuse and remoulding of parts as much as possible to reduce production costs. To complicate matters, as it were, the Terrorcons are all monsters of sorts, so even their alt modes are kind of arbitrary. Also, as is the new norm, the accessories they came with are rather meh, though I'm trying to decide which is more boring - the weapons, or the fist/armour bits.
Having said that, some are less boring to look at than others, and my vote for best Terrorcon limb goes to Blot, the black and purple fellow. I love the colour scheme and the "not quite a block with arms and legs" look he's got going for him.
Overall, winner by a large margin.
So back to TDW. They actually came to my attention first with their Volcanicus upgrade kit (soon to be discussed) but when I preordered the Abominus kit the Volcanicus kit had not arrived yet, so I did so with blind faith.
For those who are unfamiliar with TDW and PE, as you suspect, their upgrade kits make the default combiners from Hasbro/Takara into magnificent looking bastards which sadly still have the underlying problems of really crappy loose joints.
Much like the PE set, the TDW set has their combiner fists and feet being able to separate and transform, as applicable, into weapons for the smaller bots and wield. The TDW sets try to one up PE by making EVERYTHING into a weapon or accessory for the smaller bots, thus increasing it's value as it were, but honestly I don't know of many people who would be taking advantage of I'm fairly confident that most folks would stick with the combined mode anyway because lets face it, the individual bots are above average overall.
Unlike PE, however, I've noticed that TDW has parts to increase thigh thickness of the combined mode, as well as in the case of Abominus, additional parts to expand the torso size due to the installation of the chest shield.
Installed, the set does definitely do the job of making the combined mode much more visually appealing, which as mentioned, is limited by the crap joints that are in the base product.
I know there are lots of people who complain about the QC on Hasbro products, but generally it's an issue with poor paint apps. The QC with these sets is all over the place, which I guess is not out of the realm of expectations for a smaller manufacturer, but it really does put the reality of Hasbro and Takara being better at something in perspective.
Between Volcanicus and Abominus, the biggest issues I saw were:
- poor paint apps, most prevalent on the silver guns in the feet
- poor hinge tolerance on the feet, leading them to split apart when weight is applied
- peg tolerances being too large resulting in difficulty inserting into the figures
So yeah, buyer beware, but again if you're not looking too closely you're generally good to go.

•Ambos pasaron a formar parte de la “Sala Memoria Sindical”, que ya integran Monseñor Alfonso Baeza, María Rozas, Luis Emilio Recabarren, Tucapel Jiménez, Manuel Bustos, Clotario Blest, y el padre Alberto Hurtado, entre otros.
Santiago, 06 de marzo de 2018. Junto a familiares y representantes de los trabajadores, el reconocido actor Edgardo Bruna y el dirigente mapuche Segundo Ñanco pasaron a formar parte de la “Sala Memoria Sindical” de la Subsecretaría del Trabajo.
Bruna fue presidente del Sindicato de Actores y Actrices de Chile (SIDARTE), entre 1986 y 1990, además de contar con una larga trayectoria en el teatro y televisión. Mientras que Ñanco tuvo una extensa carrera como dirigente de la Confederación Nacional de Panificadores (CONAPAN), entre 1965 y 2004.
La ceremonia fue encabezada por el subsecretario de la cartera, Francisco Javier Díaz, quien destacó que “hemos querido hacer un sencillo, pero un muy sentido homenaje a dos grandes dirigentes y personas. Estamos contentos porque tanto sus familias y sus propias organizaciones han colaborado en esta recuperación de historia sindical, en la cual ha trabajado el Ministerio del Trabajo en los últimos 4 años”.
En la actividad también participaron los presidentes de SIDARTE, Ignacio Achurra, y de CONAPAN, Eugenio Paillalef, junto a la viuda de Edgardo Bruna, Verónica Fruns, y el hijo de Nañco, Mauricio, quienes agradecieron el reconocimiento y expresaron su confianza que este tipo de iniciativas perduren en el tiempo.
“Estamos contentos y orgullosos de tener un dirigente destacado en la historia de nuestra institución, como fue Edgardo Bruna, en la Sala Memoria Sindical, junto a grandes representantes de los trabajadores. Él fue un gran artista, un gran actor y director de teatro que desarrolló una actividad fundamental en los años más duros para el país, entre 1986 y 1990”, señaló Achurra.
Paillalef, por su parte, reconoció que “para nosotros es un hecho histórico. Nuestro gremio tiene mucha historia, que data de 1900, 1902, pero nunca había sido reconocida y que hoy sí se hace a través de un libro y de poner un cuadro de un gran dirigente en la galería”.
Junto a Bruna y Ñanco comparten la sala de reuniones de la Subsecretaría Monseñor Alfonso Baeza, María Rozas, Luis Emilio Recabarren, Tucapel Jiménez, Manuel Bustos, Clotario Blest, el padre Alberto Hurtado, Luis Figueroa y Exequiel Ponce. Además del el cuadro “El Cuarto Estado” de Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo.

Tras realizar un análisis a la forma como operan los programas que maneja el Departamento para la Prosperidad Social, su rol en el sistema de protección social y la estructuración de una ruta eficaz para reducir la pobreza, expertos del Banco Mundial concluyeron que es necesario establecer una ruta secuencial y progresiva de atención por parte de los programas misionales y articularse con el SISBEN IV para alimentar la caracterización de la población objetivo.
Durante la visita realizada esta semana, la Misión recomendó adicionalmente ajustar la focalización de los programas, georreferenciar los hogares para establecer perfiles que permitan construir paquetes de oferta pertinentes, y articular cuatro elementos esenciales para la focalización de los programas como lugar, objetivo común, intervenciones complementarias y seguimiento al hogar.
“Son varios los retos que se desprenden de este trabajo con Banco Mundial, como monitorear de manera continua el piloto de intervención de la Estrategia Unidos en 2019, fortalecer el sistema de información Llave Maestra, definir una ruta integral de atención a población étnica y fortalecer el trabajo de articulación con Planeación Nacional en el marco de la implementación del SISBEN IV". indicó la directora general del Departamento para la Prosperidad Social, Susana Correa Borrero,
De acuerdo con el análisis del organismo, los programas sociales que maneja la entidad cuentan con diversas fortalezas como la fuerte articulación entre Jóvenes y Familias en Acción, acciones urbano-rurales diferenciadas, acompañamiento familiar, apoyo en inclusión productiva y un trabajo interinstitucional con otras entidades de gobierno, que facilitan la correlación de metas y objetivos.
Por su parte, Sara Giannozzi. especialista en Protección Social para América Latina y el Caribe del Banco Mundial explicó que, “Estamos acá porque Prosperidad Social nos solicitó un apoyo para revisar los programas en el contexto de difusión de una ruta de superación de la pobreza y para ver cómo se puede hacer más efectiva la intervención de la Entidad, determinar los diferentes elementos necesarios para constituir esa ruta e intervenir de manera integrada en los hogares para lograr mejores resultados en el mediano y largo plazo".
Finalmente, dentro de la asistencia técnica del Banco Mundial también se contempló el fortalecimiento institucional de Prosperidad Social frente a la gestión del riesgo y se señaló que es importante construir protocolos institucionales para la prevención y atención de desastres naturales, que incorporen los esfuerzos individuales de las direcciones misionales en tales escenarios.

The Azures are much more complex than I realized. I am told this is a "spring form" Summer Azure. I am not sure how to tell them apart....and from a side shot I believe it is impossible. The flight period would indicate this is a Summer in "spring form".
