The Energon Pub

[Emerje]

Again that's why I really hope Bruticus isn't in this series. I mean they could do an botcon exclusive of him if they really must.

Guessing it will be near the toy fair before we see what's in the future waves.

UK's Toy Fair starts January 20 so we'll see at least one or two new figures there ahead of New York Toy Fair. Of course, they could be RID figures they show off, not CW.

Well that makes sense considering he's the other voyager released in this wave. Plus it wouldn't make sense to advertise an arialbot that isn't out yet.

Too bad they aren't advertising him at all...

Dragstrip must have a great agent.

I'm happy we're getting two complete combiners in two Waves. They could have gone the evil route and introduced the third combiner in the second wave and leave the second hanging. I mean look at Energon:

Wave 6
Superion Maximus
Treadshot
Sky Shadow

Constructicon Maximus
Sledge
Duststorm

Wave 7
Superion Maximus
Terradive
Windrazor

Bruticus Maximus
Stormcloud
Kickback

Wave 8
Bruticus Maximus
Blight
Blackout

Constructicon Maximus
Wideload
Bonecrusher

Thankfully those waves were pretty much released on top of each other. I remember grabbing most of them in one trip.

Out of all those bots, Bombshell's the only one I really want.
It sort of seems like he'd have a gun-mode of his own, given the arm-cannons and knee pegs... which raises the question will he be the "6th man" to a future combiner (and who), or will he just be a "general use" gun-bot?

Hope we also get Kickback, and maybe even Venom (full-size cicada), Ransack, and... well, I've repurposed Prime Insecticon as Barrage, but I'd happily buy a Classics one, particularly if it isn't just a straight repaint of Bombshell.
So many bugs! SKREE SKREE SKREEEEEEEE

CW Powerglide pics








EDIT: the nose of the jet mode is miss-transformed.

[Cobotron]

Who dipped him in AWESOME SAUCE?

[ZeroWolf]

That looks fantastic, though in the hands of a small bot his gun mode looks like it's over compensating

I have but one problem with bombshell, I really hope he's only going to be seen as flashback fodder in the book, I'll be really annoyed if it turns out he's still controlling prowl.

i know right? is it odd that he's one of the CW figures im most anticipating?

More Transformers Generations Combiner Wars in-hand images, you say? TFND blogger blacklai is here to provide, via a tip from Seibertronian Arctorro. Check out below the little Aerialbot that could (become an accessory) in the mirrored images below: Powerglide.

[Twitchythe3rd]

Edit: Saw an earlier post about his head being mistransformed. Still, looks great.

[MightyMagnus78]

The only Combiner Wars toy I'm 100% sold on. Awesome little dude.

[steve2275]

looks pretty good

[Bounti76]

Very cool, but....uhhh....why does it show Skydive transforming into Powerglide on the box?

Oh wait.....Skydive is just holding Powerglide in his gun mode. Rad.

[Syn_13]

Holy carp that little Powerglide looks great! I never got round to picking up the Classics Powerglide, and was never that bothered about him, but this little guy looks great! It's funny because the Legends figures are doing it for me more than the deluxe/voyager ones.

[griftimus prime]

one of the coolest bot mods i have seen in a while. i love those arms.

[Lockdownhunter]

GREAT!

[Nemesis Destron]

I'm so glad I chose not to settle for all the other representations currently out there for a decent Powerglide and this is more than decent. It's a shame they didn't give him a weapon but I think I can provide there.

Now it's time to see what Takara has to show when the time comes...I hope.

[ZeroWolf]

That's a point I wonder if this will come under the Legends line in Japan or if TakaraTomy have other plans.

Nowadays, TakaraTomy puts Scouts and Legends/Commanders in 2-packs. It's pretty possible he'll be paired with Blackjack when the time comes.

Or in a two-pack with a repaint of him as Badboy, like they did with the Windcharger and Rumble molds.

It's actually very funny that about two or three pages ago some people were complaining that the combiners were too different from G1 and now people are complaining that Silverbolt is too G1...

I love this place...

Who said we were complaining? I certainly wasn't.

I wonder how this Powerglide will compare to the DotM Commander one. Also, "Autobot Powerglide"? Trademarks strike again

[Mkall]

And here I said I was satisfied with the Ultra-class Powerglide...

Well I don't think I am anymore.

[Nemesis Maximo]

I'm Torn; on one hand, Powerglide looks great. On the other, I have a soft spot for the Ultra class figure released several years ago. But, the toy just doesn't really fit anywhere in my collection, because he's just too big for Classics.

*sigh* first world problems.

Powerglide looks Purrrrfect!
How do they manage it on such small scales? It's great. Can't wait for the releases!

[Va'al]

And finally, from blacklai over at TFND, we get a look at the first Transformers Generations Combiner Wars assembled figure - more or less - Superion! Check out the images below, which include the combination of all deluxe Aerialbots released in wave 1, Voyager Silverbolt, plus Powerglide as a weapon, and Dragstrip lending a hand to Autobots for the shot.

this is how i feel:
