Thanks friend I find it funny that the first slide has Jurassic world figures on it. If this is real then I could dig it but I'm not holding any stock in it.

PREFACE: Prepare yourself on generous pinch of salt

(pictures)

Well, the pictures look half-credible, but there's two reasons
that I don't believe this:
1. It comes from 4chan.
2. I can't think of an event going on right now at which Hasbro would display these images.

Plus it doesn't fit hasbro's plan of re-using the figure a bunch of times.

Again, hasbro has gotten the rights (or whatever) to the names, we will get them, in time; patience.

[Sabrblade]

Those have GOT to be fake.

For one, the Transformers logo on the right side is in the wrong font face. It's more akin to the font used in older lines than the one we have today.

Plus, there's also a distinct lack of any Generations subline imprint logo. No Combiner Wars logo, no Titans Return logo, nothing. Hasbro's big on categorizing its figures these days so we'd likely see some sort of subline branding logo if these were real.

And the format and layout are wrong. The header's inaccurate, there's no "Authenthic" logo in the corner, there's no quarterly release date/year, and there's the aforementioned lack of a subline brand label. Compare with these slide pics taken from this year's BotCon, SDCC, and NYCC respectively:




Not to mention that there's no event going on right now that all the big sites would be covering such a reveal at.

Which is probably why he prefaced it by saying these were basically fake and not to believe any rumors spawned by it

And I was adding on to the preface by pointing out the details that specifically give away their fakeness.

Yup, I knew you would be swinging in to the rescue very soon after that was posted

But they did look painfully fake from the outset...

Saw CW deluxe Ironhide, Prowl, Sunstreaker, and Mirage today at my local Walmart. If I had the funds, they would've been purchased!! That and CW voyager Cyclonus. Pretty sweet looking figures!

They work really well, the bright colors really make the molds pop, and Galvatronus is great, definitely get him when you get the chance, as he makes for a much nicer torso than MM

I feel you man. I haven't had money since September, so no Transformers for me.

Luckily, I already had the '84 before that. They are great figures, and (if you are combining them) they look best with the Red Prime.

Yes, he does. I have Cyclonus with the Stunticon limbs, even the purple hands and feet go well with him. And to mirror him on the Autobot side, I have Silverbolt combined with the '84 bot limbs, except Prowl, who has swapped places with First Aid and is a leg for Defensor. First Aid and Ironhide make up the legs for Superion.

Yeah, first-aid makes the best leg mode, and not too shabby an arm mode either

[Rodimus Prime]

Yeah, first-aid makes the best leg mode, and not too shabby an arm mode either

Originally I tried to stay faithful to G1 Defensor's configuration, where Groove and Streetwise make up the legs and First Aid and Blades are the arms. Obviously with Groove being a legends class figure (genius move, btw, keeps them in scale somewhat) that is impossible, thus Prowl's initiation as an honorary Protectobot. And as I type this, I have an epiphany: put First Aid back on as an arm, and use Rook as a leg for Superion.

Also, when is Scattershot supposed to be released? I have a feeling I should have held out for him instead of getting Silverbolt by himself (just recently sold all my other Aerialbots) because he is a solid red color and would match up better with Cyclonus visually. (Also, red and purple are the colors for Autobots and Decepticons, respectively.)

Late December/January methinks.

The 'knee-pad of death' is a little awkward, but he makes the scariest arm, it's bulk is comparable to first-aid, but the only way to truly even it out is to get hound

Hound is a repaint of Rook? Will Ironhide be repainted into someone else?

Hound is a retool of Swindle, who is a heavy retool of Rook. Trailbreaker is a retool of Ironhide (with a new head and gun arm).

Will it be more of a Jeep? I've seen some shots of Swindle, but I couldn't tell.

Trailbreaker is a retool of Ironhide (with a new head and gun arm).

Oh sweet, I love that mold. I have Offroad and I'm not even using him in a combiner. Looks like I'm picking up both Hound and Trailbreaker. Anyone else being released aside from the Combaticons?

Oh wow, that IS some serious retooling. Why do they look like they have an open drawer at the front?

Uh, yeah, smokescreen from prowl (no new head, keeps the dumb lightbar), Wheeljack from what could be a technobot/breakdown, trailbreaker, hound, wreck-gar from groove (no new head) will combine with Sky Lynx.

wreck-gar from groove (no new head)

What?

[Railbomb]

wreck-gar from groove (no new head)

What?

Hasbro did say he was part of Sky Reign but I don't see how either. Maybe he functions as a weapon?
