Toy Fair US 2015 Coverage - Official Hasbro Images of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars

Goddamn everything looks so amazing! Especially Ultra Magnus. Really diggin the idw influence.

FINALLY! an G1 accurate, no Optimus Prime look alike Ultra Magnus. gave those 3rd party people a run for their money.

The protectobots and Ultra Magnus look fantastic. I Might wait on Defensor instead of Dropping money on Superion.

Hotspot reminds me of a stylised Airport fire truck, so yeah, I can see these as Earth modes, just kinda "futuristic" versions, rather than Cybertronian

So of the Protectobots, Blades is a repaint of Alpha Bravo with a new head, Streetwise is a significant retooling of Dead End, and First Aid is a "reshelling" of Offroad, to the point that he barely resembles him at all.

They're very well done.

Isn't that what the MP was?

Also, haha I was right, The protectobots' alt modes are definitely futuristic. I would not call Hot Spot's alt mode earth based. It's design is far more cybertronian.

I'd say they're pretty believably Earth-based. What's so Cybertronian about Blades? Rook doesn't look so much alien as utilitarian for a SWAT vehicle. First Aid is just an SUV. Streetwise is a little stylized, but lacks anything truly alien in his design. And has already been pointed out several times now, Hot Spot is based on an airport firetruck, like Sentinel Prime in Dark of the Moon.

Generations Devastator is NOT as tall as Generations Metroplex. The back of the box clearly says Devastator is 18 inches tall. Metroplex is just over 24 inches.

its ok. we knew. we had math on our side

I don't like Rook's molded hands. I like being able to mix and match weapons between characters, so closed fists annoy me. Still gonna get him, tho.

Viper does nothing for me (not a Joe fan) and while I love IDW Thundercracker, I'm not digging this particular retool. Suspect I'd also be into Voyager Cyclonus were it not for Silverbolt's tail sticking out the back, but I'm withholding judgment on him until I see who he's meant to combine with.




Buying:

EVERYTHING!!! Ultra Magnus, all of Defensor

Maybe this is the Minimus from within the Minimus armour that's in the Ultra Magnus armour...

But yeah he looks tiny. Joint size, paint apps and lack of wheels kinda hint at that.
