Video Review - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Breakdown

Posted by Va'al Mar 4, 2015 at 5:13am CST 28,243 views
Our fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 has shared another Transformers Generations Combiner Wars wave 2 figure video review, and we keep to the Stunticons with Breakdowm! Check out the embedded clip below, and their thoughts, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

Shakedown, Takedown, you're busted! It's Breakdown, probably one of the best known Stunticons due to its use as various Bot-Con exclusives over the years. The hip joints will take some getting used to, but once mastered pull off an ingenious leg transformation. I expect this mold to be used often in the years to come.


Watch video

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

on alpha bravo, push the white piece up a little so the rotor is trapped between the tail fins.

I think the crab armor works the best, actually. Fills out the space and looks most like a plate of armor.

The individual bots dont look too bad, but dear god Menasor looks terrible!! The standard body proportions are just all wrong! Might have to go and look at some of those pics showing the mix and matching of the figures to see what looks best!

Try this leg configuration:

It's not the official way, the thigh/hip area is less stable as the designed pegging system is not used, but the proportions look immensely better, IMO.

Ooh, he's a goodie.
The regular release, IMO, looks better with the white than the KB version.
However if you can get your hands on either, definitely a nice score.

So when exactly will we see Air Raid and a supposed Slingshot to complete the Aerialbots?

I'm going to look for Gears and Acidstorm. They never showed up here.
Not sure if this helps where you live, but in SE Michigan, those two were effectively Meijer's exclusives starting around Thanksgiving...and already got clearanced out.

Dang, maybe I should've posted that in sightings, but I don't have a camera, and just assume I'm the last to spot anything new.

That second wave of PCC 2-packs in 2010 (Leadfoot) were the last TFs I only saw at Meijer's for a considerable time; they showed up at other stores about half a year later, IIRC. Though I wasn't canvassing discount stores then like I do now.

And my TJMarshaxxes have had jack for toys lately: nothing of note besides Construct-bots Slash (and presumably Scorn), who've otherwise only appeared (overpriced) at Kohl's.

Back on topic, I'm guessing Air Raid's going to be a tad difficult to find, with everyone buying two for an extra head to make their Firefly a tad more G1 media-accurate?

Superion is definitely better-proportioned than Menasor. Meansor's torso is too small and his legs are too long.

The suggested transformation maybe, but it's been proven that his stature can be greatly improved by simply adjusting the legs and crotch piece.

If only Optimus and Motormaster had been given the same kind of upside-down treatment that Silverbolt was given, with the combiner thighs being formed by the torso bot's arms instead of the torso bot's legs.

Here's the next Stunticon in the Combiner Wars lineup with Dead End.

A great alt mode and a far more elegant transformation than Breakdown! Very nice! Hope you can check out the vid :)

Here's the last of the Deluxe class Stunticons with Offroad. Not really liking that figure, but mainly cos I just wish they had included a Wildrider instead!

My Menasor arrived earlier today. I've literally spent hours fiddling with his legs and waist desperately trying to get him to look half decent. I couldn't, so I'll just be displaying them as a team.
