flywheels????

[Shuttershock]

I'm seriously considering getting two Offroad figures and turning one into an alternator nemesis prime. The colors are perfect and the head swap (probably from deluxe classics prime ) won't affect transformation! Then I'll make him part of Cyclonus team

Great idea. I'm thinking of the following repurposed Aerialbots for Cyclonus' team:

Air Raid: Darkwing
Sky Dive: Dreadwind
Alpha Bravo: Spinister
Firefly: Needlenose (OK, that one is stretching it somewhat - anyone got a better idea?)

Considering your other three and their overall color scheme, Needlenose seems like your best bet. That, or Jetblade if you want to stick to plane type.

My memories aren't as astute as before but, can we do "scramble style" in the appendage assignments of Superion? Still waiting for June 2015 for the "other" version.

Flattop.... Can't believe I forgot.... And I own that guy.

Not quite: Flattop is a Micromaster Transport, which means the vehicle he's on (an aircraft carrier) transforms too, a jet in fact. Think Broadside without the robot mode

[Down_Shift]

Just to give a feel of how well Breakdown will work as Sunstreaker





Offroad to me is a perfect Ruckus. His foot/fist weapon even stores behind his head to give him that Triggercon feel. Really looking forward to what Takara will do with him.

You mean like Generations Brainstorm?

[peaces]

awesome, didn't know offroad could do that.

[Zeedust]

Offroad walks into a bar.

He staggers back and says, "What the scrap, Dead End?"

Dead End says, "Shut up and take your lumps, new guy."

"Listen, glitch-head, if you don't like new guys, maybe you shouldn't have let the old guy get slagged!"

Maybe one day, hasbro will give us a rung figure. Shame I think it will be very far off.

Well, there's the issue of "What's he turn into?" to be resolved, since they probably don't think they can get away with "Reverse order of instructions to convert back to ???"

I love how these guys are able to store both their foot/hand weapons in either mode. Its a shame no one has been able to find a way for Deadend to stash his somewhere in both modes. If I had him in hand I would be going crazy to find it but alas

[Down_Shift]

It's a shame because Deadend is the best of the deluxe Stunticons. The f/f weapon just lazily sits on top of the vehicle mode and either sits in his shoulder holes or top of the fist (can't under sling due to hand design). Even his club thing can't store under the vehicle as an exhaust pipe. A small missed opportunity.

Not that complex. Flattop's transport is strictly a vehicle and doesn't even have it's own name, let alone sentient. Brainstorm consists of two distinct characters: the body, Brainstorm and the head, Arcana. Unless it's the Japanese version, then the body really is just a vehicle ("Transtector") and the head is the character.

Anyway, Off-Road's bio is interesting, he sounds like a politician. Careful, Motormaster, he might be gunning for your spot. Either that or he's a well trained Autobot spy.

Rook must be pretty happy that the guy he's replacing is still on the team.

Who wants for Legendary Combining goodness? Did you know you can make Huffer into a pair of pants? Try it!

Finally saw some CW figures at Walmart and Target. All the had were Alpha Bravo, Skydive, and Dragstrip at Target, and a bunch of Optimus's at Walmart.

Yeah tell me about it. I saw the reviews of him and when I saw the other Stunticons get the cool integrated f/f I was rubbing my hands thinking "Sweet his has to be pretty cool too". But no nothing at all just plonked on top.

I saw you can put the exhaust pipe on the peg hole on the side when he is in vehicle mode but it looks a little odd. They all need their G1 looking pistols as well I reckon the melee weapons just look average apart from Offroad's.

To accompany the shots of the in-pack comics and extended bios for wave 2 of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars figures, take a confirmation look at official shots of the wave 1 reissues (though strangely only showing Drag Strip and Firefly) with their own Hasbro exclusive covers of IDW comics too! Check them out mirrored below from Brazilian toy website Hobby Brinquedos.

So does the inclusion of comics mean that the collectors cards are gone?

[steve2275]

i wonder what the comic content actually is

[Sabrblade]

So does the inclusion of comics mean that the collectors cards are gone?

Yes. The Deluxes with cards are the international versions while the Deluxes with comics are the U.S. versions.

I keep thinking that's what they should've did with all three teams. Sell Slingshot and Dead End in the legends class instead of Powerglide and Blackjack. Slingshot is the smallest jet anyway, and I think people wouldn't have minded the size difference and new members as long as they could get the whole original lineup for each goup.

[prjkt]

They'll be labelled as Combiner Wars 1-4 (Wave 2 was Combiner Wars 5-8) but will in fact be RiD 9-12 (as Wave 2 was really RiD 13-16)

No, I mind. I like the Powerglide we got, Blackjack is a new character(somewhat)as I like new characters, and Slingshot is DEAD. You wouldn't have the "original" lineup for Menasor by making Deadend as a legends. Because Wildrider doesn't exist in the comics.
