New Combiner Wars Figure Names Revealed In Walmart Computers

Posted by Autobot032 Dec 13, 2014 at 5:04am CST 50,097 views
Courtesy of fellow fan site, The ALLSpark, we now know of a finding by fellow fan Decepticus Prime. Decepticus has uncovered and shared a new set of Walmart inventory computer listings for the upcoming Combiner Wars figure line. The listings show the possibilty of the existence of the Protectobots team and mention new names as well, such as Prowl! We've mirrored his images and the list of names below:





Protectobot Streetsmart
Protectobot Rook
Protoctobot First Aid
Protectobot Blades
Prowl
Sunstreaker
Mirage
Ironhide

As we all know by now, these listings are liable to change at any given moment, or Hasbro might be using them as placeholder names, so for the time being, take this with a grain of salt. If this holds true, we have an awesome 2015 ahead of us!

X, that's the price converted from British pounds. Such prices are standard fare in Europe actually and unfortunately. And if you must know, Smyths is a rather large chain of toy stores found throughout the UK and Ireland. >:oP



At the top of the news story the article says this:

Searchlight has spotted and purchased Voyager Silverbolt at Smyths for £22.99 (about US$36) in the UK.

Am I the only one that caught the conversion to US dollars listed in the article ?

Anyways, a voyager costs anywhere between $22-26 dollars including tax here in Miami, Florida at Walmart or Target. At TRU it might be a couple bucks more.


Yeah, that is what the article says. It's (pretty much) regular UK retail price for a Voyager figure over here.

Well well well...

The last four are new, while the Protectobot ones all happen to match up quite nicely with the previous rumor about them. How about that. :SMUG:

I may be very interested in the Deluxe Prowl, if it does what I want it to do. :-?

Everything else, while potentially pretty, I'm really not that fussed about.

Mirage=drag strip retool

Prowl!!!! Then maybe.... just maybe, we might see an updated Devastator!!!

Seeing Prowl's off-road vehicle mode in the comics, I was struck how similar the mode is to OFFROAD, the new member of the Stunticons. Maybe we'll see Offroad re-tooled as Prowl? But I don't how they'd convert a limb from one Gestalt to form the head/chest of another.

My wallet is weeping already, while I can't stop drooling.

Hoping that Sunstreaker is actually Sideswipe or that he will also be released eventually.

Otherwise it is great news, fingers crossed it is accurate.

Guessing Prowl, Sunstreaker, Mirage and Ironhide will all use CW Stunticons toys. So they can all form that Masquerade Menasor with Generations CW Optimus.

Sunstreaker is a lil surprising, sideswipe would of made more sense (unless in comics he dies or is captured, which prompts Sunstreaker into action)

However I don't want a homage to one episode of the G1 toon in the main line, taking up the place of something else so I'm hoping it's a wal*mart exclusive.

Protectobots I'm still not going to hold my breath till I see the actual toys (which I'm hoping will be soon)

Would it be asking too much for them to do Piranhacon? (Looked at his toy on ebay, fell in love again)

We're probably going to get repaints/retools of Ratchet and Sideswipe anyway. So we may start with the 16 deluxes, but it wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with at least 32 after store exclusive repaints. Plus, you know, third party jumping in and making their own limbs.

Prowl, Mirage, Sunstreaker and Ironhide, they all sound like repaints to me, probably of the Stunticons.

My focus will definitelly be on the Combiner teams from the show... or at least that´s what I keep telling myself.

That's cute, voyagers cost 44,95 euro's in The Netherlands.
That's 56,02

Now complain about your price increase.

:-? Those 4 are odd choices. They bring Masquerade to mind, but only Mirage was in that. Hmm...

Well, Prowl would probably be intended for a Devastator, so maybe he's just doing double duty.
Sunstreaker, maybe they wanted to avoid too many red Autobots with Sideswipe.
Ironhide works better from Offroad than other bots (and they already have that Legends Windcharger).

Not to mention that it's from the same guy that found Rattrap, Tankor, Crosscut and Nightbeat in Walmart computers.

I hate being late to the party. Only recently started reading the IDW ongoings. Trying to avoid spoilers, but I'm guessing I've just stumbled across a spoiler here. Oh well, not too bothered since a) it sounds like a stupid idea in the first place, and b) these comics have been out for ages so it's kind of inevitable.

Nonetheless, back to the CW news. Ironhide as a deluxe disappoints me. I want a good Voyager sized figure of him. Hopefully, if he's really good he can replace the Classics one though. I don't dislike the Classics one, but it has its flaws.

Some more images from another branch of Smyths Toys. Had the same issue with it not scanning properly but they got the code right in the end!

Also picked up this little fella too...

I'm thinking the Prowl, Mirage, Sunstreaker and Ironhide are just Classics repaints. Some of those were just used within the last year.

Comment by CrankyOldTruck Dec 13, 2014
Sadly, I think some of you have it pegged. Our 4 new Autobots in the line-up are going to be Stunticon repaint figures and those of us hoping to get Prowl thrown in with the Constructicons are going to be very disappointed. It wasn't going to happen anyways. Too many figures and Hasbro knows enough to simply not do a figure at all then to do one and listen to everyone bitch...

"Of all the circuit glitched, diode blowin' dimwittery! YOU LEFT A PIECE OUT!"

And that's exactly what they would get from everyone putting only 5 figures in a 6 bot team.

I'm fine with their new choices for figures even if they are repaints and I will probably pick all of them up since I will for sure get the new Optimus. I missed out on snagging Generations Ironhide and Sunstreaker anyhow so these may serve as placeholders until I get them or even full-on replacements depending on how much I like their look.
