Transformers Combiner Wars: Autobot Combiner Confirmed

I wonder if they don't have images yet, because Hasbro is planning a BIG BotCon reveal?

Botcon or SDCC, yeah.

I ordered the limbs, because they have all be pretty flawless thus far. Waiting to see how Optimus Maximus looks. I didnt get the regular, and I have Motormaster already. Might just be extra limbs for random combinations.

I can't wait to see Ironhide...'nuff said!

I know by now Hot Spot and Cyclonus are old hat, but I felt like giving them some photo love. So humor me if you please.




"Go get'em big dude!"


I don't have any Protect Bots yet, so HS is bowering the Aerial squad. He looks so good, honestly you good slap some Bot Shots, or MLPs on him and he'd still kick A$$. Maybe the best torso bot yet?

Hmmmm, the more pics I see of Cyclonus, the more I'm tempted to pick him up.


As for the wave 3 Autobots, hopefully we'll get more remolding other than new heads. I'd like to see the level of retooling that was done on Motor Master, Cyclonus, First Aid and Streetwise, other than just a new head like there was on Blades, Slingshot, and Wildrider.

Prepare for disappointment. All signs point to the Wave 4 Autobots having just new heads, and using Offroad (Ironhide), Mirage (Drag Strip), Sunstreaker (Breakdown) and Streetwise (Prowl) for bodies.

Intelligence guided by experience determines:

Ironhide = Offroad repaint/remold?
Mirage = Dragstrip repaint
Sunstreaker = Breakdown repaint/remold
Prowl = Streetwise repaint

I'll be surprised if I'm wrong here... And I wrote this without even reading the post above me - great minds think alike I suppose...

Regardless of that, I'm still picking them up. I STILL only have Wave 1 ( ), but the combiner wars figures that I DO have and from what I've heard about the other waves, the molds are awesome. That DragStrip is freakin amazing.

I hope this 'Optimus Maximus' will have better proportions than Combiner Wars Prime.

Gundamu wrote:I hope this 'Optimus Maximus' will have better proportions than Combiner Wars Prime.

Probably not. It is using the same mold, I don't expect there to be any remolded parts. But, people have done some really cool mistransformations that make the proportions more even.

I think it's just going to be a straight repaint of prime, not a remold

Yeah, that's what I'm expecting as well.


No disappointment if that's all we get, but a huge high five to Hasbro if they do more than just that.

Botcon or SDCC, yeah.

Depends on who's release date you believe. BBTS says Deluxe for August, but TFS says June while both say Starscream for June and Optimus Maximus for July. BotCon is in June and SDCC is in July. With such a time crunch I think they'll just dump them all at BotCon and then save SDCC for something bigger like the rumored Technobots.

I think the Technobot voyager will be a remold of Silverbolt.

Is that picture in the link to Strarscream new?

It looks like TFSource has an image of Starscream.

IDK, it looks as if they cut it out of an in-hand image, I believe there was one on the interwebz sometime.

It would be cool if Prowl was a repaint of Dead end with a lightbar on top as opposed to a straight Streetwise repaint.

Agreed.

I'd be severely disappointed if the Autobot combiner (which is just recolors we've known about for like 6 months) is the biggest news out of Botcon.

Yeah! Fingers crossed for Computron as well as the Fan-Built Combiner. I also have a small hope for Bruticus, but maybe he'll be @ Toy Fair next year.

Just on a side note, someone mentioned that Titan Devastator, would be perfect for remolding into the Build Team.

I think they'll probably save the fan built combiner for SDCC. And I think Bruticus is more likely than Computron for the reveal. They seem to be alternating autobot and decepticon combiner team releases.

The original rumor surrounding Optimus Maximus is that it might have a new standard robot mode headsculpt, but leaving the combiner headsculpt the same.

It might be interesting, but I don't see how a 6 member team could be "perfect" for remolding into a 4 member team.

Again, not saying it would be bad, just not ...

What's that... there's another build team? One that has 6 members?

Idk it could happen, you know Hasbro, they turned Silverbolt into a combining Cyclonus! You have to think "what character is Hasbro most likely gonna remold this character as?"

Yeah...because Cyclonus was the firstncharacter to come to mind!
But really, I prefer unpredictability, it's more exciting!

Yeah agreed, but I prefer the original versions of characters better though. Like this AWESOME DEVASTATOR!

I think the Technobot voyager will be a remold of Silverbolt.

You're not the first person to guess that and I really, really hope that's no the case. Cyclonus worked because he looks like a very futuristic jet, but Scattershot has a very different look to him that would be very hard to replicate from the Silverbolt figure. His alt mode is more like a space battleship than a space jet. I'd be surprised if they can make a Scattershot that looks like Scattershot from the Silverbolt figure.

Funny that we got the Stripes rumor before the Ravage rumor.

Emerje

The last batch of rumours we heard in terms of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars rumours included one of Soundwave's cassette characters, Buzzsaw. A recent database reveal - from Mr Chaos over on fellow fansite TFW2005 - seems to suggest that more Legend class figures are also to be showing up in the line, as reported below.

Does this go hand in hand with the recent marketing posts on the official Transformers Facebook page, featuring Soundwave? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Ravage (Batch Code B7022)
Rumble (Batch Code B7023)
Wheelie (Batch Code B7024)

id rather have frenzy than wheelie

I'm excited! One can never have too many Soundwaves.

Hope we get both Rumble and Frenzy, though. It would be disappointing if it want the same route as the Prid line with only Rumble.

But Frenzy will just be another repaint of Rumble, Wheelie is likely a different mould just wait for the next wave

Veeeeery interesting! Last time we got Cassette-bots in the legends line, we got a voyager Soundwave & Blaster.

Fingers crossed Ladies and Germs.

Great choice or cover image. You had me excited for Nautica for a second.

I'm on the fence about this, already have the Ravage that came with Hound, and I've been tempted to try to track down the MP versions of him and the Red/Blue twins, but if Ravage's "other" mode is sweet, and Fremble end up as bikes like their Earth-based modes in the recent comics, I might bite.

Has their been any news surfacing about legends Brawn?
We need him to complete the 1984 cast.
Would love to see a new Brawn(Swerve/Gears) alongside Beachcomber and Seaspray

Well, I've got a verrrrrry nice Universe 2.0 Ravage, they'll have to beat that.

And Wheelie would be nice. But let's keep that to ourselves.

Yeah I thought that was deliberate.

I wonder is she'll end up as one of the Fan Combiner team members?

Since I skipped out on the Stunticons (being content with the third party version I already had before Combiner Wars was announced), I look forward to the Autobot limbs. It'll be a way to have versions of those molds.

Lots of other new rumored figures circulating suddenly, huh? I wonder how Wheelie will look? Will he be nice enough to replace the Legends one I already have, or will I remain content with it? Same goes for Ravage. As for Rumble, if he is the speculated about repaint of Groove, since I have no attachment to Rumble (or Frenzy) as a motorcycle, I'll stick with the one(s) I already have.



I could definitely use a new Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw, though! Booster X-10 is an okay stand-in for Lazerbeak, but not ideal. And I have no Buzzsaw at all in my Classics collection.

There is a Legends Brawn. Catch is, he is an older Legends figure, when they were a bit smaller and more simplistic, but he does exist. So you can have a complete recreation of the 1984 Autobots. He came out in 2008.




For that matter, you also mentioned Beachcomber, and 2008 also gave us that figure:




As for Seaspray, I suppose the closest we have is this 2010 Voyager class figure:




That all being said, would I object to a new Brawn up to the standards of what the Legends Class offers today? Sure, why not? But if that doesn't happen, it isn't as if the character hasn't been covered. Of the three you mentioned, I'd say that the one most desperate for a better update is Seaspray.

But also the least likely, based on the fact there's little to no repaint potential.

However, Powerglide was in the same boat, and we got Viper - are there any Joe hovercraft that look like Seaspray?

prjkt wrote:...are there any Joe hovercraft that look like Seaspray?

A quick Google search turned this up:



Gotta love that strained acronym.

I knew there'd be one somewhere.

Though I doubt a Seaspray repaint will be called that

I want a proper Reflector and Shockwave in CHUG TO complete on the original Cons

I'm disappointed we're getting more of the same... 3rd Ravage, second Wheelie, 2nd or third Rumble... can we not get a BW Scorponok update 20 years later or what?

Since combiner wars is more or less following the current chronic runs all of these figures make sense. We'll get updates of these older figures, but it won't be Until this line is over.

They were bikes in the RiD/TF ongoing comic, so that wouldn't be a shock. Who knows, may even be remolds of Deluxe Groove?
