Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Discussion Thread

Postby shajaki » Thu Nov 13, 2014 2:00 pm

Motto: "A man who wants nothing is invincible."
Welcome folks, to the Transformers Combiner Wars Discussion MEGA Thread! This thread will be focused on the Combining figures themselves (Voyagers, Deluxes, Legends) while the Leader Class can be discussed here. Anyways, start reading. There's a long road ahead ;)


Autobot032 wrote:The official Transformers YouTube channel has posted a new video from their Designers Desk series, this time focusing on the upcoming Combiner Wars line.

We've included the video embed below:

Published on Nov 10, 2014
Today we meet with Transformers toy designers, Joshua Lamb and John Warden, to talk about Combiner Wars. They'll show you how to swap and combine all-new Legend, Deluxe and Voyager class Generations figures into SUPERION, MENASOR or a Combiner robot from your own imagination!

A conversation started in the wrong place moved to the right one.

Devastator
Bruticus (G1)
Defensor
Computron
Raiden
Monstructor
Abominus
Predaking
Piranacon

I hope they add a few extra retools and/or heads to add bonus characters. Having a couple extra Constructicons would be especially nice. (or ex constructicons or Autobot counterparts ie. Hauler, Erector, Gravedigger, Hightower, Buckethead, Quickmix, Grapple, Wide Load, Scoop, Quickmix, Landfill...)

Devastator - This has GOT to be happening. No doubt.
Bruticus (G1)- I wonder. With the over use(not complaining) of FoC, I could see him sit on
the back burner
Defensor - For sure, gotta have more :BOT:s
Computron - Anything for another Tron like bike
Raiden - would be AWESOME, but doubt it
Monstructor - Interesting, but a far reach
Abominus - Good Primus, make this real
Predaking - Would be great, but for know I'm happy with my new G1 reissue. It's a
nostalgia thing
Piranacon - Good Primus, make this real

(Goth, I know this is your wish list, just having fun speculating :D )

I have said this twice now, but I love saying it.
I predict with the use of Prime for a Voyager, they will do a :BOT: team. Repainting the Stunticons as classics like Mirage, Sideswipe, etc.
It will come out 4th qt. as a Xmas time box set. :ic$:
Makes me wonder if I should hold off on OP as a single Voyager.


SW's SilverHammer wrote:Actually a combiner Wars Monstructor is a possibility due to possible story relevance. In The Transformers: Robots in Disguise #33, Starscream show Wheeljack the three major combiners teams threats in action at the moment. There's Prowl and the Constructicons on earth, Mototrmaster and the Stunticons who are M.I.A, and Monstructor who's body was never recovered after the events of dark cybertron. The way combiner wars is playing out is to be a veritable arms race, with the stunticons most likely siding with the Decepticons; with Prowl and the Constructicons and monstructor being wild cards, and finally Superion who may either side with the Autobots or Cybertron in general.


gothsaurus wrote:Hey Cobotron, your response was exactly what I was hoping for. Curious what combiners other people are most interested in. Cheers!


Madeus Prime wrote:Tentative guess that we'll get a Prowl figure that is compatible to form the body of a combiner. To homage the events in RID. I'd kill for a Prowlestator


Cobotron wrote:@Goth, SW's SH, and Madeus

It seems that it is all really in IDW's hands. Whatever story they are working on will dictate where this line goes.
I have just started in on IDW books with RID and mtme. Really digging it BTW. I'm not to familiar yet with the "Prowlastator" situation, but from Hasbro's point of view I can't see them going this direction right away. It seems too specific to a probably small percentage of their market.
But, we are talking about a comic book i.e. "soap opera", so they could easily find a way to bring back the missing Constructicon(who?). If the Con-cons have sided with Prowl, maybe the return of said team mate would sway them back to the :CON: .

A Monstructor toy would probably rule out the need for Abominus. :-(
IMO, I would love to see re-imagined versions of Abominus and Piranacon.

We need a mole at IDW. :grin:


There is probably a better/easier/cleaner way to do this, but I don't know it

alright, someone help me out. im behind in my IDW reading, so what appendage of devastator does prowl become? if this supposed devastator came out as voyagers, i assume we'd need a new prowl voyager to go with it. which sadly, seems unlikely to me.

Prowl became the upper torso and head. That's Hook's spot, but he was relocated to the right leg since Scrapper got... well, scrapped.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

So are you guys assuming this (rumored) new Devastator is going to be based on the current IDW version? Isn't it just as likely (or more likely) that it'll be an updated version of the original?

I'm guessing update of OG too.
I'm not anti Prowlistator, just don't see it selling to mass audience the way the OG would.

Prowlastator is unlikely, especially since these will eventually be sold in the Japanese market as well, and the traditional G1 angle is a lot more interesting to Japanese collectors, despite the availability of the IDW stories over there. Although, I wouldn't be shocked if we got SOMETHING to homage the new Devastator, like a swappable gestalt mode head to resemble Prowl. Hasbro has been pouring on the love lately.

Maybe there COULD be a legends tie in like Powerglide.

I've been giving Bruticus some thought.
They are already fixing up the repaint/retool wagon.
With the Superion helicopter swap out, and a jeep-esq retool of the SUV swap out for Menasor, we're already 2/5s there.
Heck, Defensor has a heli too.

All this combiner stuff is very exciting... but I feel like Kre-O has already scratched that itch for me. I mean I already geeked out for Menasor and Superion and Devastator, don't really need to again.


I'd assume a "Prowlvastator" would have a Legends Prowl as an alternate head or helmet that covers it. And maybe if it's all a giftset, sell it as 'Devy VS Prowl', keeping the whole head thing a (easily-guessed) secret.

Oh, no problem. It's just the first time someone has been excited that I entered a topic! :grin:

I wonder how many Transformers fans are also lycanthrope enthusiasts? There's a lot of conceptual cross-over with transformation and having two forms in one person or body.

In the interest of staying on topic, though, I would guess what we'll get in 2015 for the Combiner Wars will be the Aerialbots, Stunticons, Protectobots, and Combaticons at mass retail. If that 6 voyagers Devastator is a reality, it'll likely be a store exclusive (probably TRU). That's a pretty safe strategy for Hasbro, getting the most iconic combiner teams out there first. If this subline is a hit with the kids, maybe they'll do another round with Technobots and Predacons or somesuch.

Oh, no problem. It's just the first time someone has been excited that I entered a topic! :grin:

I wonder how many Transformers fans are also lycanthrope enthusiasts? There's a lot of conceptual cross-over with transformation and having two forms in one person or body.

In the interest of staying on topic, though, I would guess what we'll get in 2015 for the Combiner Wars will be the Aerialbots, Stunticons, Protectobots, and Combaticons at mass retail. If that 6 voyagers Devastator is a reality, it'll likely be a store exclusive (probably TRU). That's a pretty safe strategy for Hasbro, getting the most iconic combiner teams out there first. If this subline is a hit with the kids, maybe they'll do another round with Technobots and Predacons or somesuch.

I always appreciate a good werewoof!

I also appreciate your conservative and highly realistic prediction for the coming Combiner War.
If the rumors hold any water, TRU and BBTS are probably the only retailers that could move such an expensive piece of merch.
Enter the COLLECT-O-TRON
