No shot of Onslaught? Also, is it safe to say that by the reactions so far, everyone's favorite is Swindle?

I dunno, Brawl looks pretty dope. and although I'm getting a little tired of Alpha Bravo, he does look pretty sweet in that new Puma track suit!

Edit: Also, looks like Brawl and Swindle come with the same hand/feet. That's a first. Matching toes!

Skydive and Air Raid have matching feet moulds too - the difference being the thumb connector piece, which is black on Skydive and white on Air Raid.

Gaack! What's with Vortex's red and yellow briefs?

That's a little more understandable since they are very heavy remolds of each other. It'd be like Swindle and Rook having the same.

All that said, I am SUPER READY to get my hands on this Bruticus!!!

[Shockwave7]

I was afraid of this. Not even a G1 head sculpt for Blast-Off. Sigh... Well, hopefully the Takara version will fix all that. Still, at least they got the others right. Wish they could have given Vortex four rotor blades somehow, and a gun mount for the front of the copter. His repaint status would be easier to swallow then.

Hope this means they start turning up in Target early, like Wave 4 did.

I'm pretty ok with the Blastoff head. I never got Quickslinger, so it's really not a repaint to me. and with AB as a leg and Vortex and blades as different arms, I'm ok with the continued use of the coptor mold. Still looks good to me.

also, my fav so far is looking to be Swindle. That is a wonderful retool and I love it, and the Hound version is really good looking too, so i will get both! Onslaught and Brawl look amazing too

I prefer to call him take-off but I guess being childish works too

Swindle looks really nice

Swindle looks great, they nailed that classic Swindle look in that background art piece as well.

I totally agree. I just really hope its not an exclusive again, makng the price go up for no good reason.

I know a lot of people hoped that the head would be different from the one we saw at Botcon and while hope is nice to have, a few months is not enough to change something that is part of a 2 year production cycle. I warned everyone that it would not change but few believed me.

I take the time to tell you all that what Hasbro shows us officially is usually what we get. So dont expect a different head from that Scattershot torso.

[munkimus prime]

That is some really nice looking art on the backing cards. I'd put all the Combiner Wars art on the walls of my house if we had it as A3 sized posters.

The Combaticons look great, Can't wait to get Bruticus.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Surprise surprise: OPTIMUS MAXIMUS CAME EARLY!!!

Just got the guy and I'm opening him up now. Needless to say, I am very excited for him!

[chuckdawg1999]

If only there was someplace to get the combaticons early. I've seen the Onslaught prototype on ebay with Scattorshot but was hesitant to pull the trigger.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ART OF VORTEX'S PACKAGING! But, don't they come with comics???

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Ok, so I've been playing around with OM and he amazing! Far better than I ever thought and well worth the decision to actually get him.

The Prime torso is beautifully fixed and the color scheme is nice. The robot mode head is AMAZING and I love it to no end. The combined mode head is pretty awesome too.

The limbs have very nice paint jobs to me and the overall aesthetic looks pretty stunning. The fact that you can place the prowl and Sunstreaker weapons in so he has shoulder cannons is pretty cool too.

Overall I really do like him! really do!! He is a great figure and honestly worth the investment. I will be keeping him in the configuration from CW4: Ironhide and Mirage as legs, Streaker and Prowl as arms. Helps him look much different from Menasor and overall really good.

I rate him pretty high. If you can, pick him up! great overall figure

Calling him Slingsh**t is being childish? So you are saying you let your children curse ?

I think the brown color plus lack of a new head fits the name fit perfectly.

No it's childish in the fact that you're a grown adult making up immature names for something that you don't like. Very similar to a child throwing a temper tantrum.

Well Im sorry that adults arent allowed to make jokes or have a good laugh in your world. In my world its perfectly fine. Its called having a sense of humor.

You can have a sense of humor without being immature. I mean you bought an alpha bravo and put him in the toilet for Christ's sake. If that's not childish I don't know what is

[MGrotusque]

Swindle looks to be the sexiest of that bunch. Brawl coming in a close second.

That wasn't childish. That's what you're supposed to do with a POS. Put it in the crapper.

[Ironhidensh]

"Blast Off" has lead to a tremendous loss of respect for Hasbro.
