Tradition is as tradition does.

[shajaki]

well, i like it. it is a mighty faithful representation.

though im surprised theres no pics of him in torso mode. this guy has given us arm and leg shots for the other guys so far hasnt he?

[Evil Eye]

I'm pretty sure if they honestly tried they could make a Silverbolt who doesn't have a jet mode with a folded up robot just bolted underneath, but they won't because then it wouldn't look GEEWUN enough.

That aside though he looks cool. A good idea for a Shapeways kit for this guy would be some clip-on armour/boosters that make his underside kibble look more like a set of boosters/FAST pack. Shouldn't be too difficult- just give him a few intakes, panels, boosters and such and it should look much better. If someone were to do the same to the TFC Silverbolt I'd buy it.

[Nemesis Maximo]

It's funny, I think Silverbolt is less impressive than some of the limb bots we've seen. Not that he's unimpressive, though...I just think his arms look proportionally big for his otherwise slim appearance.

I know why that is, because his arms are his legs in torso mode. It just looks like every day is arm day.

Quick question guys

I bought the Generations Tankor and have been reading the Dark Cybertron storyline therein. In the issue with the aforementioned figure, there is a part where Ultra Magnus and Co are traveling through Metroplex and they decide to get out and look for something. They do, and end up in a big circle back where they came from. It is then revelaed that one of the minicons had seemingly planted a bomb on their escape pod/ship, and proceeded to blow it up. Then, a few panels later, they were crusing along int he ship like nothing happened?

WTF?

Pages are out of order in the pack-in comics. For the correct order, go pick up More than Meets the Eye #26 in Tankor's case.

For some reason, every copy of the comic issue that was packed with the Tankor toy was printed with its pages horrendously out of order. The pages are fine in the original non-toy printing, but no one really knows what happened with the toy pack-in version.

[pie-man]

Wish they would post comparison shots of the combined form with FOC Bruticus. I'm definetely getting the Combiner Wars Superion & Menasor (while finding a place to ditch the old Energon Superion Maximus set), but I hope the scale/size is not off by much.

Early days, but I wonder if there's any chance of seeing an updated Prowl & the Constructicons in the Combiner Wars line.

I wondered what hell happened......

Can you fill me in briefly? How did they get the ship back together or how did they get out of Metroplex without the ship?

Why are we not talking about the fact that Drag Strip has apparently been drafted into the Aerialbots?

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Because he isn't? Drag Strip is still a Stunticon but he'll be in the same wave as the 4 Aerialbots shown. The packaging just illustrates you can mix-and-match, and can make a giant with any 4 limbs of any sub-group.

[william-james88]

Holy SH!T, I hadnt even noticed that. That makes this the same configuration as Ultra Prime.

[Sabrblade]

Well, yeah, but that's because Optimus is in this wave too, so both Voyagers use the same limbs on their packaging to advertise the combiner gimmick with the specific Deluxe toys that will be concurrently available with the two Voyagers.

[ZeroWolf]

Well that makes sense considering he's the other voyager released in this wave. Plus it wouldn't make sense to advertise an arialbot that isn't out yet.

[Robogeek1973]

Silverbolt looks VERY G1.


I haven't decided if that's a good thing or not yet.

[william-james88]

Well that makes sense considering he's the other voyager released in this wave. Plus it wouldn't make sense to advertise an arialbot that isn't out yet.

Wait a sec, they arent releasing all the aerialbots in wave one?!?!?!?!!?

The wait for an updated Superion is killing me enough as it is, I dont know how I will be if I have a superion missing one limb for months!

He won't. you can get Dragstrip as a fill in.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

When is powerglide coming out, I know he's not necessary but he does make a nice gun

[william-james88]

Thanks guys, I was really confused. But now the confusion is getting worse. I just realized we are getting another legends Windcharger. WHY?! We had an amazing one before and this oen doesnt even appear to come close. WTF happened at hasbro?

Yeah, it's going to frustrate me too. I'm not really digging Menasor, he just looks weird with his wide chest and the head sculpt looks poor.

They're not giving you the full set for two main reason. They want to keep you invested in the line, so you end up buying Dragstrip just as a filler until you wait for Air Raid, and then since you have Dragstrip you decide to get the full Stunticon set. Second reason is that they're doing it to promote the whole chop and change gimmick, which I'm really not interested in. Don't want my Superion with a Stunticon arm, or a Menasor with Prime as the chest.

I'm just going to buy them as they come out and pose them individually until the set is complete. After that they'll be in combined mode for 99% of the time anyway.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

All I can say is this: those who missed out on RtS Windcharger will get a second chance Problem is, the Legends redecoed/retooled from the previous year (Thundercracker, Windcharger and Huffer) will not include their partners.
