Site sponsor Kapow! Toys has shared a video review of Takara Tomy's Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron Combaticons. The set made up of TG-03 Blast Off, TG-04 Vortex, TG-05 Brawl, TG-06 Swindle, and TG-07 Onslaught and feature the line's signature shiny metallic decos. Check out the review by our own Transformermegazord embedded below, and visit Kapow! Toys to order your set.

Great review. I haven't imported any of the FoC line yet but will be doing it on these figures... Hasbro's version doesn't even come close :APPLAUSE:

Just so people are clear, the SDCC Combaticons have Game based (except for Onslaught) decos, while the Takara Combaticons have Concept Art based decos. Blast Off does not actually have all of that Black in the game, but does in the Concept Art.

Onslaught's the Odd-ball of the bunch though. The SDCC version is that weird brown color so that when he's in Bruticus mode, it looks more game accurate...but the Takara version looks even more accurate even though the deco is focused on Onslaught's colors and not Bruticus'.

And how come Blast Off and Onslaught don't have that Metallic sheen that the other three do? Not that I'm complaining, since I order the Takara Onslaught to replace my SDCC version, and he'll still match the look.

I honestly have to admit that the timing of this review is brilliant for me! I just finished "reading" chapter 5 of TRANSFORMERS ALL SPARK, which yielded back to another flashback event, and they introduced... You guessed it... The Combaticons! :DANCE:

So for me, I might have to consider getting this set as their Generations line does tie into this manga series. That is, if I do not just get Ultra Magnus first.

But even then, the set look very nice.

Thanks for clearing that up buddy , so really the sdcc Onslaught would probably fit much better in this set ??

Takara really has made the best of a bad bunch. They are awesome paint-apps!

Still not sure whether or not to bother with them. I'm thinking I may get the Takara versions of Swindle, Brawl and Blast Off, and a Hasbro Vortex to repaint in G1 colours. Not going to waste import money and potentially mess it up.

Please Takara make a Vortex in proper G1 colors to complete the set and right the wrong of those god damn video game designers ! Call it a Gentai, Hentai, or whatever you want and charge $100 and Ill still buy it !!!

I think at the very least I'm going to need Onslaught to make Bruticus look decent. Brawl and Swindle also do look quite a bit better. I do like Hasbro's purple Blast Off but the brown is a more G1 accurate so I'm torn on him. And Vortex...Vortex just can't be helped in any version. I suppose I'd go with Hasbro's just so the purple can tie him in with the full combined mode a little better.

I really don't get all the bitching about "VORTEX ISN'T G1 ACCURATE!!!". G1 Vortex had a very dull colour scheme, the game colours are sooooooo much better. Something being G1 accurate doesn't make it better. After all, if we were going all G1 accurate, these guys would have zero articulation, stickers for detail, fragile rubber tires and flaky chrome.

I much prefer the fresh approach they've taken to the Combaticons.
