Also, Dragstrip sure seems to have been busy, since he's been part of every combiner in the first three waves except Defensor (albeit only as a substitute before Air Raid was released in Superion's case).

I love the fact that they are homaging that scene. Beats making a new Combaticon right?? :lol:

And yes, Dragstrip is everywhere and anywhere! He just keeps getting lost. "Sorry, made a wrong turn again" :lol:

Good grief, wave 3 only showed up here in MO this past weekend...

Dang, I didn't realize this was news. Someone in my area spotted those guys a week ago. I would have linked their sighting to news if I would have known.

Rodimus is a cool guy. I worked up a little hack and slash to get his spoiler to hang from his back.

I FINALLY got CW Dragstrip yesterday, for my b-day. I wanna get the rest of the deluxe Stunticons, but I DON'T want Motormaster. I don't really want Lonewolf either, so I am thinking of designing my own Motormaster, as a monster truck. >:oP

Get Cyclonus, Galvatronus looks awesome with the stunticons

Lonewolf?

A third party MM modified to be usable as the centerpiece for hasbros stunticons, can find it at bbts and such.

No problem

I thought all of its modes looked kinda weak, but to each their own, I admit wanting something to make the stunticons shine as menasor. Always thought that if has/tak made op/mm into a long nose truck, it might give them more room to work with, or maybe if they revisited the design and rebuilt it from the ground up with the knowledge they have now.

I used to hope for something inspired by RID Ultra Magnus's combination with Optimus Prime - Motormaster would have been a semi with a car carrier trailer or attachment. The car carrier trailer would have had room for all of the other Stunticons in truck mode, and would also have disassembled to become Menasor's extra combiner parts. In a way, it'd be like Menasor himself having an alternate mode, and I rather fancied the idea of a black 18-wheeler loaded with cars plowing through traffic and then transforming directly into Menasor without having to go through multiple stages.

That would have been awesome. I thought they would have at least made him a delivery truck at the least like in the IDW ongoing comic.

Actually hasn't mototmaster been reformed since swindle used the enigma on him to better look like his toy?

News Credits: 9 · by **Sowndwave76** » Wed Jul 08, 2015 7:18 pm

Anyone think some 3rd party is going to make a trailer (or trailers) for Motormaster and Prime??
I know they shouldn't be the same... I'd be more than okay with a company just making one for MM.
There are/have been plenty of trailers for Prime.
Not to mention, the trailer was literally part of the G1 MM...
Even though it would have to be pretty large, it would be a nice add-on.

Yeah he has, but it would be cool just to at least have him look less like a racing truck and more like a his G1 self. i think a trailer or a deliver truck canopy could fill out Menasor's back in combined mode.

Menasor has too much weight, heavy limb-bots, and poorly designed legs, and you want to put more weight onto him :BOOM:

At the Hasbro booth Seiberton was able to snap some earlier pictures of Transformers Combiner Wars Wheeljack, Smockescreen, Trailbreaker and Hound! They are all repaints and heavy retools of Combiner Wars Breakdown, Deadend, Offroad and Rook that was revealed just recently at Botcon! Let us know what you think of these new Combiner War figures here at the Seibertron.com forums. With all four Autobots already received the modern update will they be replacing your Generations and Universe versions?

Check out the images we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates from SDCC, plus the best galleries around!

They look nice, will probably only get hound if I like the swindle mold. I anticipate that I will, and hound does pull the mold off well; I'd go so far as to say that this is what a 'classics' re-imagining of hound should look like - i.e. one that isn't slavishly g1 accurate - I actually like the look of him better than any g1 styled version of him.
