Now do the same with Scorn and Nitro Zeus!!
Power of the Primes is looking to be a great line. I'm wondering what they will do with the Cybertron Resistance and Dinobot teams for the combined forms. Totally unprecedented really (Beast will not count for the dinobots). Although, if the Cybertron resistance (using it for the ladies) team combines, it will be the 2nd female combiner. man, we are moving along here!
Though, with the idea that they want to release the entire team in the same wave, where will Jazz, Dreadwind and Darkwing fit in? Wave 2 that is sort of random?
I'm pretty sure that Slash's inclusion in the Generations line has less to do with him being a *beloved* character in the AoE line, and more to do with...Hasbro wanted a random 6th Dinobot, Legends class size. They could have went with any number of character names, or created a new one. Personally I think Sling (the Dimetrodon) would have been an awesome choice but...Raptors since JP and all that...

I'm a but non plussed bout some decisions like the new power master.. you crave a pm update since you start collecting and all of a sudden there are 2 back to back, 3 counting the takara version. Same with Hotrod, if they planned it out a bit better they could've held back the TR hotrod and released him as part of the new line...

Hasbro should have waited - Ultra Magnus should have been in Titans Return with Minimus Ambus as a Titan Master which would have put Powermaster Optimus Prime in Power of the Primes with a proper Power Master.

But Minimus ambus doesnt become his head, he is instead inside Ultra magnus, as the toy correctly depicts.
Wont argue with POTP for Power Master Prime though.
But if they'd waited and made an Ultra Magnus with Minimus Ambus as a Titan Master instead, then people would have been deprived of the Ultra Magnus that we did get which did Minimus Ambus the right way.Rysquad wrote:william-james88 wrote:Rysquad wrote:frogbat wrote:Cant' wait - think there will be more skippable toys for me than the previous 2 lines.

I get that.
I don't really follow the current comic fiction though. My view is more from a tooling and play pattern perspective. Unlike Leaders in Titans Return, Leaders in Combiner Wars don't really interact with the rest of the Combiner Wars line. Ultra Magnus in Combiner Wars seems like a one-off to me.
This could have led to Ultra Magnus with Titan Master Minimus Ambus for the comics or with Titan Master Knock Out or Over-Run for an Energon homage.
Then that mold leads to a proper Power of the Primes Powermaster Optimus Prime...
