Thanks. I think I'll wait for now. I didn't know that Chromia was a remold from a Prime toy.

Chromia is an extensive retool of Transformers Prime RID Arcee.

All things considered, very impressive.

Next batch of Combiner Wars stuff is up for pre-order at BBTS, including Leader Starscream, Voyager Optimus Maximus, and the Deluxe autobots: Mirage, Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Ironhide.

They have a listed release date of July, even if it comes out a month or two later that leaves plenty of time for more waves. Do we have any ideas as to what might be released next?

Holy titties! That is a remarkably extensive retool!

Here it is folks, the moment we've all been waiting for... REAL, ACTUAL confirmation of Optimus Maximus, the Autobot Combiner Team, and Leader Starscream! News broke after Seibertron sponsors BigBadToyStore and TFsource listed the long rumored figures for pre-order (unfortunately no pictures). So without further ado, here's the breakdown:
Deluxes- Ironhide, Prowl, Mirage, Sunstreaker
Voyagers- Optimus Maximus, Motormaster
Leader- Starscream

No confirmation of molds used for said Autobot Combiners, so speculation may continue a bit longer. So click the pics and head to our sponsors for your chance to get these figures under lock and key, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Those are it for this year. Keep in mind that Wave 3 with the Protectobots has just barely been spotted in stores, and the typical Brick-and-Mortar Stores tend to lag behind the online ones by months. Expect the toys for next year to be released around Christmas time.

[King Kuuga]

Sweet. I look forward to more pictures and information.

I wonder if they don't have images yet, because Hasbro is planning a BIG BotCon reveal?

Botcon or SDCC, yeah.

[MenaceRX]

I ordered the limbs, because they have all be pretty flawless thus far. Waiting to see how Optimus Maximus looks. I didnt get the regular, and I have Motormaster already. Might just be extra limbs for random combinations.

[Nemesis Destron]

I can't wait to see Ironhide...'nuff said!

[Cobotron]

I know by now Hot Spot and Cyclonus are old hat, but I felt like giving them some photo love. So humor me if you please.




"Go get'em big dude!"


I don't have any Protect Bots yet, so HS is bowering the Aerial squad. He looks so good, honestly you good slap some Bot Shots, or MLPs on him and he'd still kick A$$. Maybe the best torso bot yet?

[Robogeek1973]

Hmmmm, the more pics I see of Cyclonus, the more I'm tempted to pick him up.


As for the wave 3 Autobots, hopefully we'll get more remolding other than new heads. I'd like to see the level of retooling that was done on Motor Master, Cyclonus, First Aid and Streetwise, other than just a new head like there was on Blades, Slingshot, and Wildrider.

Prepare for disappointment. All signs point to the Wave 4 Autobots having just new heads, and using Offroad (Ironhide), Mirage (Drag Strip), Sunstreaker (Breakdown) and Streetwise (Prowl) for bodies.

[Shockwave7]

Intelligence guided by experience determines:

Ironhide = Offroad repaint/remold?
Mirage = Dragstrip repaint
Sunstreaker = Breakdown repaint/remold
Prowl = Streetwise repaint

I'll be surprised if I'm wrong here... And I wrote this without even reading the post above me - great minds think alike I suppose...

Regardless of that, I'm still picking them up. I STILL only have Wave 1 ( ), but the combiner wars figures that I DO have and from what I've heard about the other waves, the molds are awesome. That DragStrip is freakin amazing.

[Gundamu]

I hope this 'Optimus Maximus' will have better proportions than Combiner Wars Prime.

[Moosey]

I hope this 'Optimus Maximus' will have better proportions than Combiner Wars Prime.

Probably not. It is using the same mold, I don't expect there to be any remolded parts. But, people have done some really cool mistransformations that make the proportions more even.

[steals_your_goats]

I think it's just going to be a straight repaint of prime, not a remold

Yeah, that's what I'm expecting as well.


No disappointment if that's all we get, but a huge high five to Hasbro if they do more than just that.

Botcon or SDCC, yeah.

Depends on who's release date you believe. BBTS says Deluxe for August, but TFS says June while both say Starscream for June and Optimus Maximus for July. BotCon is in June and SDCC is in July. With such a time crunch I think they'll just dump them all at BotCon and then save SDCC for something bigger like the rumored Technobots.

I think the Technobot voyager will be a remold of Silverbolt.

[Zeek99g]

Is that picture in the link to Strarscream new?

It looks like TFSource has an image of Starscream.

IDK, it looks as if they cut it out of an in-hand image, I believe there was one on the interwebz sometime.

[RiddlerJ]

It would be cool if Prowl was a repaint of Dead end with a lightbar on top as opposed to a straight Streetwise repaint.

Agreed.
