I swear one of the early photos I saw of CW Motormaster was a re-tool/re-paint of Classics Voyager Optimus Prime. Am I just high? This looks remarkably different!

I've dreamed of an Optimus combiner since I was a wee little lad. (long ago)
Why not? He IS the boss. Almost got there with Energon (Voltron) Prime.
Then can we have Bee, Prowl, Ironhide, and Sideswipe as appendages?
But really, who cares, slap some aerialbots on him and call it a day.
A day of victory for the Autobots!
Thundercracker is cool, He can hang out with the Masterpieces since I slept on getting the TRU TC MP.
Really sad that Huffer can't get his own mold, but I'm a sucker for orange. What does his head look like?
So excited for Combiner Wars. Its not that the 3rd party stuff isn't cool, I just can't get approved for a loan to finance them.

Guess they didn't want to follow white-and-red jet with another white-and-red jet.
Wait, refresh my memory, "again"?
I'm kinda disappointed it wasn't something wilder (and maybe more in-scale-ish), like MW Starscream. But I suppose they want to reuse the crap out of that mold.

You might just be high, but don't be alarmed. It's a heavy retool of CW Prime, which looks like an impressive reuse of the mold. I'd wager they came up with MM first then retooled him into OP.

I'm excited. I didn't expect anything out of New York for another day or so!
Thundercracker is a totally unexpected revelation. The mould is great as Jetfire, and it's somehow great retooled into a Seeker! Not sure if I can justify getting one myself, though. If they redecoed it with Jetfire's fastpack as Skyquake, then maybe...
Love the Combiner Wars figs, I think I'll have to get the lot (apart from Optimus - I want an MP-10). The boxes look excellent, and is it just me or does Motormaster look not-much-shorter than Thundercracker? Considering the DOTM Downsize it's excellent to see decent-sized Voyagers again.
It's just a shame some of them are mistransformed (I'm looking at you, Skydive and Firefly!) but it's great to see the combiner hand/foot/guns with them too. Glad to see they have some play value outside of the combined forms.
Bring on release, baby!!!!!
I hope we get to see more before Monday.

The Aerialbots are also cool.I cannot choose which I like better,Aerialbots or Stunticons.
Maybe I'll buy them both.I hope Hasbro will release a Combiner Wars Bruticus Maximus. Is Huffer a retool of the Legion Optimus and Roller and if so, will he have a targetmaster partner like Roller or something ????????

I'm all over all of this (minus Huffer). A couple things on Thundercracker:
-I do wish they had been able to engineer the nullrays to attach to the upper instead of lower arms.
-If there's a way to remove the backpack in bot mode, that silhouette would be near perfect.

Look at the flaps on the top of their shoulders. They're facing opposite directions.
You might be on to something, Convoy.
Works for me!
Check the art on the side of Prime's box. Is that his Combiner head?

Slingshot, and it's an explanation that applies if you read the IDW comics (which as a side note, you really should).
As for an industry explanation, Hasbro seems to be planning ahead by making specific molds that can be applied to more than one bot/combiner team. Alpha Bravo (helicopter) can become Vortex (Combaticons) or Blades (Protectobots). Same way Offroad (the Wildrider truck replacement) could be repurposed as Swindle.
It's not going to be the quintessential Aerialbots or Stunticons, but they are planning for the future. Worse comes to worse, you can always get a spare of the other three to make Slingshot.

And in case Darkman or others who missed the earlier announcements get worried: Silverbolt is still the torso, it's just that he and Air Raid aren't in the display we've seen today.

Since these are remolds and redecos, we know you'll want to see the originals these figures are based off of, and you can see the origin molds in all their glory in our galleries, located here for Jetfire (Thundercracker) and Optimus (Huffer).

Thundercracker looks amazing, but is this really a character that should be in leader the class size/scale?
As someone who does not read the comics, please tell me; is this a comic accurate depiction of the character? I just don't think of him as towering over his fellow cons.
What about the other seekers? I really do not want to drop the cash on a full set of leader class seekers. (because seeker molds always get repainted)

In terms of design, it's pretty close to the current IDW design, minus the air scoop shoulders:
Size-wise, the Seekers aren't really bigger than the average (deluxe) size. You might argue a voyager, but not a Leader.
Still, it's kind of cool to have Seekers of appropriate size for a jet.
