While we await the new galleries dedicated to the Combiner Wars Combaticons, our first gallery post Bruticus focuses on Legends Class Shockwave. Shockwave is a brand new mold that can be held by any Combiner Wars Combiner as a laser gun but is meant to go with Bruticus to recreate the G1 episode "The Revenge of Bruticus". Shockwave can also attach to Onslaught in vehicle mode as well. Click on any of the images below to see the full gallery and stayed tuned for Onslaught's gallery coming next.

Love this little guy so much

He might be one of the few perfect figures ever, along with cosmos (I guess, haven't got one, but heard good things), and Blackjack; huh, they're all legends class...

Would definitely get another one if a repaint ever gets released individually :PRAY:

I can tell you the legends Cosmos was the best that there ever has been. He is a great figure and I love him to death

I think)

Can't wait to get Shocky.

The only thing I don't like about the mold are those rockets on the back of the gun. They look fine in gun mode, but in robot mode it looks like he has guns on each arm, plus his other gun arm which altogether looks a little off.

Still a great looking figure.

Those pics got me thinking, has anyone tried to get their combiner to hold legends Megatron?

Wow, this looks great! :APPLAUSE:

Having gotten mine over the weekend, I can say that he's even better to have than to look at

If they could have added waist rotation, he'd be flawless...

Continuing the galleries for Hasbro's Transformers Combiner Wars Bruticus wave, we now have Voyager Class Onslaught, the Combaticons leader. This toy is a retool and redeco of Combiner Wars Hotpot but with the alt mode ingeniously being reversed where the front is now the back and the back is now the front. We also have a video review up showcasing him and his ability to form Bruticus.

This wave is appearing at retail in North America so here is your chance to get a good look at the toy if you are wondering if he is worth the pick up. If ever you spot him in your neck of the woods, be sure to tell your fellow Seibertronians in the sightings section.

Onslaught = awesome. There's something about the head NOT having those silly robot lips that just makes the figure look cooler. If only they had given Blastoff a proper G1 style face mask as well. Those flat gray parts are just begging for some silver paint...

Mon Dec 14, 2015 1:52 pm

It's hard to tell, but is the Olive Green paint on Onslaught exactly the same as the paint on Brawl? You don't see matched paint like that on separate figures too often.

Once again, this is a great looking team. Cannot wait to get this guy

So excited to finally get Onslaught! He looks great, and mine just shipped out from BBTS this morning. Should be here by the end of the week.

So excited to see this team! Bruticus was the only G1 (and G2) combiner I had complete as a kid.

Aw, you're makin' me jealous - I have them on pre-order at BBTS as well, but I haven't gotten an alert saying mine are available. I guess they have their own system there as well...

I'll be visiting the parents for Christmas, and was wondering whether digging through the attic for my G1 Onslaught's rifle would even be worth the effort.

Yes. Yes, it is.

I assume they've gotten a small stock in and I just happened to order him early enough to be part of it. That's what happened with my other Combaticons.

Anyone who's had the misfortune to read me whine and complain about the glut of repaints/retools lately knows my stance on the matter. But dangit if this bot is not a prime exhibit of the most simple yet effective retooling. For an armored anti-aircraft vehicle, I'm convinced. :APPLAUSE:

Well done. Nice lookin bot too!

Just looking at them gives me the goose pimples on what the TT version will look like

I just hope he wont be TT exclusive. There isnt any rhyme or reason to it anymore. Its been 3 UW figures that are for everyone, and 3 Exclusives. Some had new stuff Hasbro didnt have and others not. So its a toss up.

Bruticus deserves a mass release TT wise. Really praying with two fingers crossed.

But you know, you get hit less if he is since you can just go to robot kingdom and not have to pay the outrageous shipping fees America would have to pay, right?

Onslaught doesn't look that bad.

fenrir72 wrote:Just looking at them gives me the goose pimples on what the TT version will look like

Looks like you are going to have to wait on that. By the pace Takara is going, the Combaticons will most likely be released sometime in the middle of next year. My guess is Takara will detail these figures to look exactly like their G1 brethren, and possibly make Ruination repaints.

You wrote "the rest of the Stunticon team" instead of "the rest of the Combaticon team," just to let you know.

Good galleries, though! my Onslaught gets here tomorrow, I can't wait to finally have Bruticus! How was your Brawl's torso, by the way? Did it hold well or did you have problems with looseness?

Thanks for the compliment, Autobot Roadburn!

As for Brawl, his waist didn't bother me anywhere near as much as his very short forearms which made it impossible for his elbow to bend when holding the larger combiner appendage as a weapon.
