Literally every single bot is mistransformed. How do you fail this badly and still get work?

One does know the extent of mistransformed official TF stock photography until one has beheld the wonderment of...

BuiLD-ThINg

I immediately thought of this:

[ZeroWolf]

That guy is a master at what he does, it's just what he does creeps me the hell out

I thought there was four components to build king?

The fourth component is standing there to the left of the combined mess.

Yeah, one is missing, but it isn't in the picture. The 3 "combined" and the 3 standing solo in front of it are the same.

No, it's just 3. In the picture you see the 3 parts "combined" and solo standing in front of him.

The combined mass of BuiLD-ThINg is made of Heavy Load, Hightower, and Grimlock. The three components standing around BuiLD-ThINg are Wedge, a second Heavy Load, and a second Grimlock.

Yeah, I've noticed that now and corrected my post, but all 3 are the same. Wedge isn't there. There's none with tank tracks.

That's why I said the fourth component is next to the mass rather than a part of it, in response to ZeroWolf's original confusion about the combiner having four parts while only three are seen combined here.

Oh christ, it's like the Build Team had a run in with Mach Kick in protect/Unhorse mode.

I know what you meant, but there are just 3 characters in the picture: Heavy Load, Hightower, and Grimlock. Wedge isn't there. You can see that the torso of the "Combiner" has wheels and not tank tracks, so it's not Wedge.

That orange component there standing by itself on the left side of the image. That's Wedge.



There are two Heavy Loads and two Grimlocks in the image, but one Hightower (combined) and one Wedge (not combined).

Oh...yeah, I was fooled by the colors, because the orange looks so red.

It's nice to see G2 Menasor will be released soon. I just think its kind of odd... The Box Art for G2 Bruticus has been out for several months, but G2 Menasor Box Art was only revealed thanks to a fan that posted it a few pages back.

I wonder...Will Hasbro be doing a G2 Defensor? -One of the advantages of the G2 sets is that you get the "original 5" Members, plus a bonus Legends figure (though they are in "garish" 90's color scheme). But with Defensor we have kind of an esthetic problem...

If they use TT Deluxe Groove to restore the original leg, then there would be no place for Legends Groove as the chest Piece. I guess they would probably just stick with Rook, and make up a G2 color scheme for him.

But its odd since we saw G2 Bruticus' Box months ago, but no toy pics yet. And of course the looming question...Will Hasbro release a G2 Defensor?

I also think they'll stick to Rook, because...
1. otherwise it would be the first box set (from ) with just 5 figures in it and
2. they don't give G2 Bruticus the TT mold of Blast Off so I don't think that would change with Defensor.

[ZeroWolf]

I still have to wonder if they will release the TT groove and blast off at some point in some part of prime wars

It would be totally awesome if they exchange the Quickslinger mold in the G2 Bruticus box set with the TT version.
I would go nuts
And it would be another substantiation for me to buy that box set instead of the normal Combaticons and Shockwave because the only reason I want that is the G2 deco of Swindle

[o.supreme]

It is an odd conundrum.

On one hand... Hasbro made good with Superion and Menasor (releasing extra "limb" Deluxe Class figures of "Quicklinger" and "Brake-Neck"), for those that did not want Alpha Bravo or Offroad.

But Defensor... Did have Groove, just as Legends, and not as Deluxe. And Bruticus does have Blast-Off, just as a Jet, instead of a Shuttle...Kind of hard to "fix" those variances.

(please notice I put fix in quotes, just for lack of a better term. Not to insinuate there was anything wrong with the limbs Hasbro released, even if they were not based on G1 accuracy. I think the variance is nice, and I am actually striving to achieve both)

It's doubtful, but not out of the realm of impossibility. Artwork can easily be changed. maybe that's why we haven't seen any G2 Bruticus toy pics yet? -Also notice on that Box Art, voyager Shockwave looks the same. I'd think they would give him a far-out G2 style paint job like they did Powerglide & Blackjack.

Would love for G2 Bruticus to have TT Shuttle Blast-Off and 4-bladed Vortex while were at it

I read in a John Warden interview from toyfair recently that he said it was a possibility but they didn't have anything planned. I'm paraphrasing, but the tone seemed to imply that it had been spitballed around the office, but nothing had been done with it.

I would source the article, but now I can't remember where I read it.

We've gotten toy pics 3 months ago: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/upcoming-2016-combiner-wars-g2-bruticus-official-product-images/34255/

And Shockwave does look different if you click the link upon and scroll down and look here carefully:

[o.supreme]

Thanks for the link. Wasn't aware of the toy Pics. Well that's too bad. Also, Shockwave's differences are minimal, not really feeling the "G2" vibe with him.

...and I prefer the normal version. But I want that neon red Swindle so bad.

Hi people! A little while I was asking about which combiner I should get if I were to get only one. I'm happy to inform you that i've almost completed my defensor! He looks amazing! I wasn't sold on the combiner wars line, but they look so much better up-close! And they are so much fun to play with! I want to get a second one now.. Which one should I go for next?

I would suggest Computron because you get many totally different molds with him (and different from the ones you already have), you get all in one set, they look pretty cool, you even get the Deluxe Groove mold and it consists of 7 bost.
Or if you prefer a Decepticon to fight against Defensor, get Grand Galvatron (if you can afford it) or Bruticus.

[Rodimus Prime]

Definitely go for Bruticus. Sky Lynx also makes a great torso. But Bruticus is the best of the retail figures.

Awesome! Good to hear on the Defensor part!

for bots: Either wait for Computron or go find Superion. Both are awesome. I would say Victorion, but if you already have Defensor you may prefer new molds.

As for cons: Go Bruticus. that guy is awesome and looks really good combined! Or mix it up and use Cyclonus and maybe Offroad, Dragstrip, Swindle and a 4th

[Hellscream9999]

Either of these are solid. Bruticus is awesome, he even has a ball-jointed neck. But Computron would be a solid way to get a full set and the new Scrounge figure.
