Who is is supposed to be? I'm assuming it's some IDW character(s)?

"may make your head explode" why cause the prices are so high or is it because the quality is so low

I said set up not the same :roll:

, the figures are arranged in a similar way as the triple combiner, one for head and shoulders, one body, and one for lower body and legs.

Who? The Mini-Con combiner? It's a new character.

Much better quality images than I could find.

Armada Starscream's reveal was a pretty nice early birthday gift. I may consider preordering a figure for the very first time. :-?

Like I usually say, many of the Generations figures are on my "To Get" list. Some of the Construct-Bots as well, oddly enough.

Whoa, Mini-Cons?! Where'd they come from? I don't remember there being anything about Mini-Cons! And they combine?! :BOOM:

pzfksfioejmcsdfgv;afnjna;ffweafj.... Sorry, I was wiping blood off my keyboard. :oops:

So how will they be sold? The traditional three-pack? And how big will they and their combined mode be?

The entirety of the Generations line: Legends, Deluxes, Voyagers, and now the sudden addition of kickass Mini-Cons...

I would guess a traditional three-pack at a deluxe price-point.

With a Minicon emblem! :MINI:

Minicons? really? Those things are ugly and terrible... GENERATIONS SKYWARP! There's the awesomeness. Shrapnel looks beautiful too. The rest are pretty meh, with the exception for Whirl who I like despite the awkwardly posed Robot mode.

News Credits: 18 · by **Fires_Of_Inferno** » Thu Jul 18, 2013 5:05 pm

Minicon combiner?
Shrapnel with Reflector?
Generations Skids and Whirl?

Gimme dat.

But they're tiny and therefore adorable! And they combine! And they're green!

EDIT: AND THE TANK HAS A MONOCLE! :shock:

I'm in love.

Not to mention they're military vehicles. I love me some military vehicles!

It's even well articulated! GATTAIIII! :michaelbay:

by **Handels-Messerschmitt** » Thu Jul 18, 2013 5:18 pm

So are these the first minicons that have their own guns?

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Jul 18, 2013 5:19 pm

Looking at them again, they have a bit of an Insecticon vibe to them. :-?

Shrapnel as the helicopter, Bombshell as the tank and Kickback the jet.
Does no one else see it?

I don't really see it, to be honest. If someone could do a mock-up, digibash, whatever, of these guys in Insecticon colors, then we'll see. :-?

You know what I do see, though? Megatron as the tank, Starscream as the jet, and Soundwave as the helicopter. :michaelbay:

I kinda see it with the little tank, it molding has kinda similar to bombshells mouthpiece, but it's under the "chin" and at the collar, rather than a mouthplate

While the minicon combiners don't look bad.. Why the hell can't we just get good looking updates of classic combiners? I just don't get it.. How long are we going to have to wait for a really nice combiner of devastator.. Or superion..

Maybe hasbro just can't make it happen.

I can't remember an SDCC that has been less exciting than this one.

There isn't a single thing that I'm super thrilled about.

I'm not saying that I don't like anything.. I was just expecting a little more.

It's more wishful thinking than anything, but yeah!
