As a Joe fan I'm lookin forward to that Viper figure. Warpath without the chest cannon is kind of like mac without the cheez,it's just wrong. Hotspot on the other hand's never looked better. Never really cared for his G1 color scheme but this guy's rockin it. Face ladder not withstanding even his alt mode is pretty snazzy.

Not really liking that there is going to be so much size variation throughout the Legends class figures. Warpath will be ridiculously small compared to the Seekers and so will Huffer when he comes out. This is what I hate about Hasbro constantly recycling stuff. it's bad enough when it's through one one but when they carry the stuff over to the next and they make changes in the size classes then it just looks stupid as well as lazy.

Bitching aside, I'm warming up to Warpath and I will certainly get Viper and most of the rest of the Legends but I'm liking the Seeker design less and less the more I see of it.
Rodimus is one they lost me on too. The vehicle design doesn't suck but the weapon is just laughable. An afterthought, and a poorly done one at that, just to make his spoiler/wing tie in with him.

Ok, I'll bite: Warpath is a retool of Legends Megatron, just without Chop Shop:

Sad, but true, the Legends Class contains only 4 unique molds:

- Powerglide
- Bombshell
- Blackjack
- Protectobot Groove

... with 2 pretools:

- Decepticon Viper
- Rodimus

The rest are all redecos or retools from last years Thrilling 30 line.

If HasTak doesn't use that Hotspot body for Onslaught, I'll be pretty sad. Because I want that toy, but I don't really want that character.

I guess, worst case, they make a new-mold Onslaught, in which case I'll cave and get Hotspot so I can turn him into RID Optimus.

I'm conflicted about Hot Spot. The vehicle mode looks too long. I hope that head is just mistransformation. What bothers me most is the mesh behind his back. Head sculpt and color looks great though. A bit brighter blue than I'd hoped but spot on.

I would dig a Fire Convoy/Super Fire Convoy retool of Hotspot/Defensor. Particularly if they paint it in the colours of my All-Yellow version. God damn, thinking of that toy makes me wanna visit home and dig it out of storage.

Yep. It's also a character that already has two previous, much better renditions of the character available, so I'm not gonna lose sleep, but did they seriously not have any other tank character they could have redecoed it into.

Hell, it might have made a nifty non-Pretender shell Bludgeon, now that I think of it. He even took his tank cannon off to use as a weapon so he's already a better fit.

On the upside, they can use this Warpath to make into Treds, and it would work since Treds' original GoBot body didn't have a chest cannon like Warpath had, so no loss for him.

After all, now we have enough of the right Legends molds that can be turned into all six G1 GoBots:
Bumblebee -- Bug Bite
Cosmos -- Path Finder
Powerglide -- Bad Boy
Gears -- Small Foot
Huffer -- Road Ranger
Warpath -- Treds

I'm just happy to see they've integrated the former Scout and Legends lines Into a size class I feel compelled to collect. I don't necessarily care that Watpath doesn't have a chest cannon - what's more important to me is Hasbro's willingness to make the most of this size class.

People are worrying about nothing. Defensor's face flips down in vehicle mode so it's hidden. Also does the same in Hot Spot's robot mode.

There's another official image (don't have it on hand right now) showing that the face is hidden.

Think doing all of these repurposed figures is the only way HasTak's budget can afford to give us almost all of the CW G1 Combiners. At least most are not just Lazy cheap repaints. Their seems to be enough new parts to make each toy look different.

If I had to chose between the option of getting repurposed combiners team members, instead of the option of nothing. I'd chose the repurposed option.

Think CW Cyclonus is a great repurosed toy. Think their is enough different parts to make this toy unique from Silverbolt.

Since you are a Unique toys Mania King toy owner. Think this CW Cyclonus is perfect for your Mania king. As they scale well with each other. Better than the deluxe toy scales.

You might be able to use 25th Cyclonus's targetmaster for CW Cyclonus. If the fist holes are the same.

Well, we finally agree on something.

Tsutsukakushi wrote:Think CW Cyclonus is a great repurosed toy. Think their is enough different parts to make this toy unique from Silverbolt.


Agreed. Plus the deco is strikingly different, so much so that it feels like an almost new figure. Sure, you can tell it's a reuse of Silverbolt with the right set of eyes, but to those who don't know (and those who don't care), this is Cyclonus. He's new and he's badass. Just so happens to be a drastic remold. Great thing about it is Silverbolt is a nice mold, a solid mold and new figures based off of him show some promise.

Cyclonus is proof of that, but I can't wait to see what Scattershot looks like. (He's a no brainer when it comes to the Silverbolt mold. I just hope he's a bit more remolded to differentiate from both Silverbolt and Cyclonus.)

I can't speak for Rated X, but I do own Mania King, and I'd imagine they scale pretty well together. Although, Cyclonus should be somewhat taller than Galvatron, according to the animation models. The fist holes are 5mm I do believe, so the Generations Targetmaster should work indeed. It's a shame the KFC Targetmaster probably won't work. (I haven't tried it to confirm, however)

If Hot Spot is to be used as Onslaught I hope they figure out a way to move the head down so we can get double cannons back there like on the vintage toy. I'm sure it can be done but the question becomes will it be done. I like the mold used for Warpath but I hope somewhere down the line we get a Legends or Legion Class figure that's a better representation of the classic looking tank

It's not really an "error" per se. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the art on these collectible cards is ripped straight out of the Transformers Legeneds mobile cash grab card game, whose designs are a mix of generic G1 designs and artwork of specific toys. They weren't made to go along with the CW toys, they're just a bonus Hasbro is throwing in since they want to have some sort of pack-in bonus and they've already commissioned the art.
Re: Official Images - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Groove, Cyclonus, Hot Spot, Warpath and More (1657729)
Posted by prjkt on March 2nd, 2015 @ 5:48am CST
ok, quick thoughts, more photos to come later.

Huffer: First exposure to this mould, pretty articulate, though a little smaller than I expected. Not exactly G1 design, but hell, he's cool enough, I'm OK

Blackjack: New character to me, pretty cool little guy. Weapon is kinda useless in bot mode, but I can see the Hot Rod reference in vehicle mode. Otherwise nothing special.

Air Raid: Lower half is nothing new, same legs as Skydive, just a different colour. Same goes for his weapon and hand/foot/cannon thingy. I like the head sculpt, and the play value with the wings is pretty cool. Articulation is about the same again. A good, solid final addition to the Aerialbots.

Dead End: I like the red colour, so that's a good start to begin with. Vehicle mode is a sweet looking sports car, something you'd see on the streets at night or on a racetrack. As with many of the original G1 combiners, the whole front end ends up on the back as a backpack, though fairly low, out of sight in Dead End's case. Articulation is on roughly par with Drag Strip.

Breakdown: Probably my least favourite of the Stunticons, especially as his leg mode looks pretty small in comparison to Offroad (more on this later) - though having said that, he's not a bad figure at all. Strangely, his foot articulation makes him a little less stable to stand, and there's some weird hip articulation, but the vehicle mode is pretty sweet.

Offroad: Like Alpha Bravo with the Aerialbots, for some reason he seems to be my favourite Stunticon. Again, the plastic used for him feels different to the other deluxe figures, again like Alpha Brave (conspiracy?) but otherwise quite solid. Huge backpack with the front end of the 4WD mode sticking up over his shoulders.

Motormaster: It's Optimus, in a new skin. Completely remoulded chest, shoulders, vehicle front end with a new head. Otherwise, no difference in articulation or design. Strangely, his head seems more proportionate to his body that Optimus' does.

Menasor: He's big. Much bigger than Superion. I think it's due to the size/thickness of the limbs, and the larger torso. In fact, the whole thing's just that little bit bigger. Though that suits a bruiser character like Menasor. Like Ultra Prime, his legs are a little too akimbo based on a slight design flaw, unless careful when placing, he tries to pull the splits.
