IIRC Powerglide is the only one advertised as being able to combine... but Bombshell seems to be hinting at something with those knee pegs and hand-cannons.Va'al wrote:You know, I keep thinking about those two Leader Megatron figures that are also meant to come out next year, and find it weird that they're part of a select few that do not combine with anything.
Yeah, I feel like there's got to be more to Megatron.
Although I kinda half expect them to make a Movie Galvatron out of Prime instead... or maybe Scourge/Nemesis Prime? *shrug* Dunno if they'd want another black/dark grey Decepticon truck though.

My guess is the combining feature will be focused in the Deluxe and Voyager Classes only. Legends and Leaders will be exempt i.e. be part of Combiner Wars "in name only" it looks like, except a certain few (basically, anyone who has a direct correlation with any of the teams).

It seems like they're trying to integrate these Legends, regardless of any corresponding team. And that makes sense (and I think it's really cool), given how the designers have been trying to make the combiner gimmick as modular as possible.

Yeah, I'm not really sure if that was actually intentional i.e. by design. Blackjack and Powerglide, yes, but the rest? Until Hasbro says otherwise, I'll consider them fan modes if anything else.

I had this same fear.
Don't forget that Soundwave also previously had a release in the first 2006 Classics toyline in the form of a TRU reissue of his G1 toy in Classics packaging.william-james88 wrote:And what about Shockwave, Soundwave and Kickback (which was the start of my post)?

Do you think its the classics megatron mold that doesnt hold up, or it's deco? Because although he is somewhat off next to classics optimus, I think it's more due to the colours. United Classics Megatron would still fit pefectly next to Prime in my opinion.

william-james88 wrote:I really think the legends are part of Combiner Wars too. The fact that we see them combined (even if hasbro hasn't said so officially) and the fact that their box has the combiner wars logo really makes me think they are not exempt. And as for molds that were out before, I suspect a change in the mold, adding it tabs to work with Optimus and Motormaster. I dont have any of the legends seeker molds so can anyone tell me if that fan mode is possible with the seekers as they are right now? Or would they really necessit alteration to the mold to stick as well as we see in the picture?

I had this same fear.
I am having this discussion in another thread about classics and whether or not the CHUG line still has life in it. Of course it does! But my main question which was unanswered is if whether or not the FOC figures count. Sure, Megatron,Jazz, both Optimuses and Bumblebee are specific to that series and toyline on a shelf, but the game being part of Generations has given us characters we didnt get in GHUG before and I wonder if they count as our classics version of the characters.
Ultra Magnus was an interesting one. With the rumours of a Leader Generations Magnus, it would seem the deluxe from generations FOC was made simply to emulate the character in the game and not as a classics interpretation (which technically existed before as the white Optimus repaint). But that makes me wonder of other, like Grimlock. We had a classics Grimlock, but he wasn't the right scale. They give us one of the right scale but he's from FOC. So which one is the right Grimlock for a classics collection? Would a classics voyager Grimlock not emulating FOC make any sense? They havent put any of the other dinobots out yet, so would there be a whole new slew of generations dinobots including Grimlock, out in the works (or pipeline).
And what about Shockwave, Soundwave and Kickback (which was the start of my post)? So far, their classics interpretations in the toyline are from WFC and FOC (and soundwave has 2 sizes) so does Hasbro count them as part of their classics output and would not release another version of these characters?
Believe it or not, that would be my main question to Hasbro if ever I saw them at Botcon. I hope I am not alone in the confusion WFC/FOC has brought the the CHUG line (ps: isnt reveal the shield also part of CHUG?)

Pfft, not for me. Armada got me into the brand, Energon served to further cement it for me, crappy cartoon or otherwise.

This makes me hope for a Black Jet for Menasor. It may just be the angle, but the jet really does a good job of filling in the torso in a way that alleviates the combiner's wonky proportions.
