so lemme get this straight! for Liokaiser they're using TWO brawls? one Combaticon.......& the other....a repaint/retool

the upside is....i believe they're using Sky Lynx for the main body(dunno then if they're still going ahead with Sky Reign or not?)

Everything's escalating so quickly!

So what is with this line's obsession with black helmets and silver faceplates? The original Liokaiser, Onslaught, and Computron all had their own distinct colors, but CW went and made them all the same.

Nunchucks with a spiked barb on each end that can be launched like a boomarang!

That artwork is...... :michaelbay:

I don't care if I'm way too invested in my custom to stop it. I don't care if he's only 2/3 of the team plus Deazaras. If the actual toy is as awesome looking as that.....

:HEADHURTS:

Because words fail me right now.

Oh, yeah, Computron as well. Sorry dude, you just got compeltely pushed out the way. But do we know if we are legit getting Liokaiser, or is it just artwork?

Zmultiplier on Webo has put up three images which, when taken together, give us our first look at Combiner Wars Computron, whose listing appeared on a computer recently.

Two images are what appear to be black and white test shots of Scattershot combined with 2 limbs using the molds currently available; one being Brawl with the Ramhorn appendage and the other being Air Raid. The third image seems to be from the box art. It features both the Unite Warriors Groove mold and either the Dead End or Streetwise mold for the arm and leg. So now, we have a pretty good idea of the components that will make up Hasbro's Computron, but the amount of retooling is still unknown. Sadl though, the image does reveal that there will be no change to the sculpt of the combiner head.

Look at the gun attached to Strafe Raid.

Now look at the gun in Lionking's hand.

It looks to me like that is the same gun, and in the Liokaiser art they are combined to make a bigger gun.
Two things:
A. COOL!
B. Finally some combining weapons!

...maybe?

WELCOME!!!
Do you mean Liokaiser?

You nailed it! Looks like it to me. I would guess the re-tool is whatever Nosecone will be for Computron.

Good point. I'll rephrase. Finally! More combining weapons!
I wish I could get Vicky's sword, minus the figures.

OH SNAP!!! :APPLAUSE:

No he's not. Deszaras is a bird kaiju.

Or a "Bigbird" according to his bio card:

What's the bet that it'll also end up as a United Warriors box set?

I imagine that Takara will release both these guys too, it's just going to take a while

Apart from Slingshot instead of Air Raid, looks like I wasn't far off

so wait a minute! what Wave is Liokaiser then? coz we've still Computron & Sky Reign(if we're still getting Sky Reign?) to come.

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 12:19 pm

Yes, possible confirmation of Combiner Wars Liokaiser!

No, it's using Sky Lynx instead of Silverbolt!

Yes, even more confirmation of Computron with new hands and feet!

No, it's still using the same damn Superion head!

Bet you 50$ US that's Hasbro. I will send you my paypal e-mail when it's confirmed that this artwork is for the Hasbro version.

It isnt in a wave. This seems to be a boxset. Computron is confirmed as a boxset. There is no CW wave after Sky Reign.

I hope for a Combiner Abominus/Terrorcons. But NOT if they just recycle the same molds. Using Alpha Bravo, Offroad, Rook, "Quicksling", et. al, and just slapping some monster-theme paint job on this is not gonna cut it for the Terrorcons. And repainting Sky Lynx as Hun-Gurr? Not gonna do it for me. They're gonna have to get off their butts and make some actual NEW molds for the Terrorcons. IF they want me to buy them, that is....

Why shouldn't we get Sky Reign? Liokaiser then will be wave 7 or up. Hasbro confirmed that they do not stop the Combiner Wars waves when Titans Return begins.

No. Hasbro did not say that. They said Combiners don't end when Titans Return begins. That's VERY different. We ae looking at boxsets here, not waves of individually released figures at retail.

But why should they release Scattorshot solo and then within a boxset? I know they want to make money and milk thw cow until it stops giving some but that would be too cheap.
