Just for reference, the current rumors surrounding Generations Combiner Wars are:

Leader class Ultra Magnus
Titan class Devastator comprised of six Voyagers
Legends and Deluxes for the Protectobots and a few others

Well, the first one had an accompanying photo of the TRU computer listing.

The second came from the guy who discovered and posted the first image of Hasbro's Masterpiece Sunstorm, and is supported by a different guy who's fairly credible in the fandom.

And the third came from a source that wished to remain anonynous but got them from Walmart computer listings.

At this point, I'm open to the possibility of any of these being true, but I'm also not getting my hopes up too high just in case any of them prove false.

We've seen the official images for some Transformers Generations Combiner Wars, but as expected, some in-hand images of the first waves will start showing up soon. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Arctorro and TFND user blacklai, we have a batch of package and in-hand images of Stunticon Dragstrip - check them out below!

That I like, I like it a lot better then the one made out of mirage. Was there any other pictures of dragstrip as a leg?

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

He's the stunticon I was expecting the most and he looks EPIIIIIIIC!

And that Arm mode looks incredible. Also, this is probably not for everyone, but oone of the photos is from the underside of the package and it says Hasbro Brazil! THEY'RE COMING TO BRAZIL! YES!

I'm now verily excited for 2015 ^^

I get why they did this, but it's still just weird.

The best Dragstrip since Transformers: Generation 1! :BOWDOWN:

Did anybody notice on the Superion schematic the legs are reversed? The cockpits are supposed to be in the back for G1 accuracy. >:oP

Which isn't saying much, considering how few toys Drag Strip has ever had.

But I would argue that the Universe "Special Edition" redeco of Classics Mirage was a better Drag Strip toy than G1 Drag Strip on account of the Classics Mirage mold being an awesome figure in and of itself.

Looks good! Can't tell the size from here (other than being deluxe), but it looks like a nice, solid toy with a good representation of the character.

It's a relatively minor quibble, but I kind of miss the full bio on the back of the card. I realize they're going for internationality and I'm all for spreading the love, I just like reading the inventive things that lines like Generations have been coming up with for the character bios.

That aside, really looking forward to Combiner Wars.

Maybe the bio's in the instructions. Or maybe the included comic is supposed to take the place of the bio since it'd provide more material than a bio would.

You can probably still reverse them for an accurate figure. I kind of like having the cockpits in front, forming a knee spike and not getting in the way of the leg bend.

Or maybe it's the fact that's the International version, the U.S hasbro Release will have a comic and a full bio becuase in America the onl language we speak is Engrish. >:oP

I'd second that, since CHUG Mirage was fantastically articulated.

Still, it's nice for Dragstrip to have a good-looking solid mold that was specifically for him.

As I understand, the US version doesn't get the Universe-style card, which is kind of disappointing. It kind of reminds me of how the 3rd party Stunticons all had little cards with first person bios. Oh well, stilled pumped to see these guys.

i gotta say, these can easily give 3P's a run for their money. drag strip there does everything he has to do, and it looks like hasbro has learned a lot. 3P combiner limbs can be unesesarily complicated, this proves simpler is better.

(not to mention cost)
