In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Wave 4: Optimus Maximus

Looks good, need to parts swap some from red Prime and forgo Roddy to get comic accurate.

The molds just dont work for those characters. Prowl looks ok but the other 3 are hideous. The fact that these repaints even appear in a comic to justify their existance is Hasbro really scraping the crud off the bottom of the barrel. I think they should have just stuck to Victorion and the G2 repaints. These lazy repaints are more of an insult to the characters rather than a homage. If they wanted to reissue the characters they should have dusted off the original classics molds and given the US more cartoon accurate decos than the first time around. They could just slap the "Combiner Wars" monkier on the packages like they did with Armada Megatron, Huffer, and other figures shoehorned into the line. That would have been so much better than giving the characters a downgrade.

After looking at the pix the only ones I may pick up are Prowl and Mirage.. It will be determined when I see them in person.

I'm pretty excited for these limb bots.

I wonder why Mirage has 62 instead of 26 as his number? Bucking any copy right infringement?

That's my plan.

Sorry, but I really don't see why this exists, and using the Optimus/Motormaster mold with those floppy hips for the third time is beyond me. No matter what fixes I've found to try on Menasor, the only leg pose I can get out of him without collapsing is standing up straight. I fully expect this offering will be the same way.

Pretty much this. Menasor looks great, but he's structurally flawed. And that's a big, floppy shame. I see no reason to get this mold a third time. Not even his sweet headcrest can persuade me.

Got a link? I'd like to see that. I haven't been able to find anything via the googles.

He's pretty damn cool by himself. He has sharp colors, the vehicle mode is really nice, and there aren't many (if any) small Rodimus figures out there. The only problem is the ax can't be attached to his back in robot mode, unless you mod the figure. A great addition to a Rodimus collection. Then again, I may be a bit biased.

Not being able to attach that axe/spoiler thing is just stupid on Hasbro/Takara's behalf. They had all the ingredients and yet they made no apple pie.
