Can anyone explain why the Prowl I just picked up has the manual printed on entirely different paper stock than any of the other CW figures I have (and I have a lot of them)? All the other manuals were typical glossy paper, Prowl's is a cheaper seeming non-glossy type. Not a big deal, it's just weird that his is different, even from Sunstreaker and Mirage that were from the same wave.
Mine's combiner thingy is also misassembled, with the part that connects the thumb/heel to the main part put in upside down, so it doesn't fold up quite right. If not for the stupid pins, it would be an easy fix.

Blast off makes a lot of sense as a jet. The space shuttle was just too dang big of an alt mode.

Seems to be about the same size as the other components

My Sunstreaker came with flat paper instructions, I assumed it was standard for wave 4 (he's my only wave 4 purchase). Sounds from your comment like it's not, which is weirder.

My second Motormaster (the one that came with Battle Core OP) came on the same dull paper, almost like it was photocopied. I thought it was weird too.

I preordered Combaticons as soon as I got the email notification the preorder was available. I didn't get a notice of them being in stock either (even though I have in the past, most notably Leader Ultra Magnus). So, it must have been a really small shipment.

I didn't get onslaught. Did anyone preorder him or did he not come in yet? Honestly waiting on the running change.

I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.

But you know guys in all honesty, I do not understand why people need to bring up the idea of realism in a series where a sentient robot looks like this:

Or this
or this:

A space shuttle being the same size as a tank is not what is stopping this concept from being any more realistic.
And we joke that G1 throws scale out the window but its Beast Wars that makes alt mode scale something really silly.

There's supposed to be a military type Spaceshuttle that isn't the size of the default "Astrotrain" type. And if you follow the original show, Blastoff never served to transport the Combaticons. He just pulled the asteroid they were exiled to remember? Now if he was a mass shifter like Astrotrain, he would have had got his buddies in him.
So the oversized Blastoff argument does not hold water.

I preordered Onslaught. No news on him yet. But, related to this, do we know when/how the running change will be released? Is the second version of Onslaught case mates with Sky Lynx?

Well, there was that ONE time...

Then again, that scene also has all the Combaticons AND Bruticus in the same shot, so I guess we'll call it a wash.
Basically, it depends on how much you're willing to spend on a (rumored) shuttle, as opposed to the more widely available jet. I'll be happy with the domestic release.

If you look close enough, Bruticus is running to hop into Blastoff (who is the arm of said Bruticus)

My only possible complaint with blast off is the head. But that's an easy third party fix (hint hint). To me I never understood my a Combaticon was a vehicle that was expressly built for research. He should always have been a jet in my opinion. After all Starscream built him from left over WW2 parts right? So...space shuttle doesn't really fit either. A jet doesn't fit with WW2 (unless it's the sweet Me-262) but that's better than a space shuttle.
That's all just personal preference. I'm curious as to what Takara is going to do. I'm guessing a massive retool to Alpha Bravo to make a space shuttle. I think that's cool.
I only wished Hasbro would have really jumped on the "unique" combiner idea and released these Takara limbs (maybe as new characters) so we had a variety of display options. Although I like Rook and Hasbros Blast-off, I'd like the option to also have Deluxe Groove and G1 Blast-off

I had heard the rumor that one of the reasons deluxe Groove was out of Hasbro's hands was that it incorporated clear plastic, putting it out of the standard deluxe price point. Don't know if The true or how much clear plastic offsets the cost, just what I remember hearing.

Beast Wars used the robot mode scale and simply applied the animal alt mode to the size of the robot mode. Alt mode scale never came into play in the show, as they didn't have mass shifting, probably being too energy intensive to pull off and was lost in the Great Upgrade. As for G1... well, they were called Archaic Energon guzzlers, probably because in part they could mass shift.
Anyhoo, I never understood the demand for alt mode scale. One would think, with how most folks go on about how they display their collection in robot mode, folks would want robot mode scale.
Beast Wars FOREVER!

Believe me, I hope that doesn't end up being the case. When this same year they distributed two exclusives through online retailers fairly successfully, I find it hard to believe that they could find a way to get these two out.
It'd be one thing if it was just a Japanese exclusive, but a group-only mall exclusive? THAT'S low.

I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part

Re: Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Discussion Thread
The review says it's a new gun, but it looks like the same flamethrower as Firefly/Slingshot to me. Anyone able to confirm if it's new or not? Can't see it clearly on this screen.
Beast Wars FOREVER!
