Sorry Will, I was asleep. I thought it was fan art, that's why I never newsed it. But I am seeing it on the Planet Iacon facebook page, so I can't say for sure yet

Can't imagine Starscream and Megatron being all that happy about being used for stomping by Autobots.

dont see why not. megatron's an autobot now, and starscream renounced his decepticonhood as part of the political ploy that got him leadership of cybertron. the only contention i'd have with the set is bumblebee being dead.

He's still in Starscream's head. Also, I really dont think Kabaya cares about referencing modern american comics.

Oh those Seekers and their jet kibble.

I really do like this, it's so nonsensical, but Kabaya usually does combiners well. Can't wait to have it in hand.

And, besides, Bumblebee's still dead in the comics, so his being here would be a poor reference even if it were one.

The resemblance doesn't seem as strong to me as it apparently does to everyone else. I'll grant that there is one, but I think it could be a coincidence.

If the stickers are that bad, I might just not bother, I've always found stickers annoying. Do Kabaya toys generally look okay stickerless?

You're going to want some stickers for it to look good. Flat stickers usually stay fine, but curving ones, especially over facial features are the tough ones. Paint would really be the best method since these are usually well sculpted. Looks like the faces are the only curved parts so it should be fine.

Paint's not an option for me, so I'm glad to hear that most of the stickers will be okay.

Yeah, to me, it's just the yellow horns that look similar.

Just confirms something about Starscream that we all already knew.

For me it's not just the horns, but also the red and white jet chest, the cockpit leg, and mismatched feet. I doubt it was intentional, it just reminded me of it.

Ugh, don't remind me. Still, he'd have to have had lost a hell of a lot of pride and dignity to accept being used as an Autobot boot...

This thread has mentioned "Universe" and "RotF" Superion and not the Energon design first? Someone hand me RAcast's sig pic and insert it here.

In other news, I tried taking the GDO Cyber Commander/Battalion figures these appear to be based off of and combining them in a similar way. It didn't work at all. I was hoping it was some insane easter egg that I just hadn't noticed with the figures, but hope faded quickly and I was left with a toppled mess of nonsensically transformed toys on the ground.

Energon wasnt mentioned because it doesnt have the yellow ears we are referencing.

haha, like some of those pics from the picture challenge when combining

The Block Wars Combiner is definitely going to go down as one of the biggest WTF's in Transformers history.

I dont know guys, I dont see the big deal, it's just a candy company having fun with the license.

You can already combine good guys with bad guys with both hero mashers and kinder surprize toys (the later actually let you do that ratchet/megatron mind melt)



You dont see it here but you can switch out the arms and legs with any other one of them.

that just looks bloody weird! & what the hell would it transform into?

Well at least the figures look good when they're combined

Fellow Seibertronians, Thanks to the Planet Iacon Facebook page we have new images of the Kabaya Block Wars figures. These images show off the individual modes and combined modes plus some box art. Looking cool? Let us know in the comments section and stay tuned for all your transformers news and galleries!

yeah it confuses me as to why the Autobots would wanna combine with the Decepticons....especially Optimus combining with Megatron! but i guess this mixed faction combination is already present with the Combiner Wars! so whatever floats people's boats i guess?

You should read the IDW MTMTE comics
After that you won't be questioning things like this anymore

No freaking clue. Shouldn't they be released by now because we saw them about a year ago. And some reviewers on YouTube already got their hands on them.
I think I've read somewhere that they'll be Europe exclusives, but I live in Europe and they haven't appeared here anywhere.

They were South America exclusives.

And when have they been released? You can't even find them on Ebay.
