Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Wave 2 available for Preorder

Man, Dragstrip is so great, I can hardly wait for the rest of these Stunt-O-tronz.
The Arialblokes are great too.
Of course, I CAN wait to find them at retail.

Thanks for the heads up man, I preordered the limb bots for now.

The Legends are up as well

They are only as a case of 8 or a set of 2 No way I'm buying that PoS Huffer just for Blackjack. If BBTS doesn't sell them separately my money will be going elsewhere.

How interesting, I want Huffer, but I dont need Blackjack, I would like to help you buying that case of 2, but im not from the US.

TFSource now has the Combiner Wars wave 2 deluxes and legends available for preorder as well. No sign of Motormaster with them either, though.

Is it just me, or does that packaging art with prominent IDW logo seem like we're getting comics with this wave of deluxes?

As the combiner war comic arc is due to start soon...

I picked (and picking) up everyone except Alpha Bravo and Offroad. I'm NOT against them existing or a GEEWUN-er I just want a G1-esq Superion and Menasor, so i'll be picking up Takara Slingshot and their version of Wildrider (if they do one).

Not liking the sound of this new Devastator being completely out of scale compared to the other combiner wars releases so i'll be skipping him, which ultimately is a shame.


ps I do actually like the design of Alpha Bravo and especially Offroad but I won't make unnecessary purchases if I can avoid it.

NO! MUST RESIST!

I'm grabbing the Megatrons and Blackjack (already have Powerglide and Bombshell). Not sure about Huffer since I already Have the Igear Ranger, plus Legends Prime and Nemesis. Don't know if I need a third version of the mold.

But those combiners. It's not like you can just get one or two. You have to get the whole shebang and I don't know if my wallet can handle it.

But they look so sweet and tasty.

As regards to iGEAR rager vs Huffer.... I really don't know.

I feel like my classics shelf is starting to get a sense of accurate scale, only iGEAR rager is shorter than the rest of the Legends class minibots we've been getting. I always felt like Bumblebee should be the shortest, so CW Huffer gets him a bit more in scale. That's one victory.

I like to buy at retail to support the brand and the hobby, so I try to hold out for a hasbro release if a 3rd party is dropping something. Again, CW Huffer wins.

iGear Rager though... I've added a silver outline autobot reprolabel and touched up his flat blue plastic with a little sky blue to make him more screen accurate. He's the perfect screen accurate G1 huffer.


I don't know what to do!

at least if I get CW Huffer, selling my show accurate Rager would probably generate enough money that huffer paid for himself twice over. :S

What would you guys do?

I've long since given up on trying to get scale correct. If it's possible, I'll try to but I don't fret it if I can't. I'm more about getting as many characters represented as possible. Another reason why I don't know if I need another Huffer since I have one I like.

I am fussy about consistency. The fact that the two prior uses of the mold have partners and this one doesn't bugs the hell out of me for some reason. I can rationalize Bombshell and Powerglide not having them because they're new molds but this is the same reason I held off on Legends Windchanger and Thundercracker. Little things like that scratch at my brain.

I decided to get CW Huffer. He won't replace Rager, but if something happens to my Rager(pulling out those arms scare me a little) at least I got backup
