It'll be a $240 combiner, you could order the legends one for much less...

But, I'm guessing that you're going to be wanting the other figures in the set that godbomber comes in

Hell Yeah: Magnus Prime

Pretty Frikkin' Cool: Metalhawk, Thunderwing, Voyager Prime

Eh, alright: Rodimus Prime, Nautica, Fastlane

Lame: Quickswitch, Pounce, Tidal Wave

Can you elaborate on why ounce is lame please?

The rest I understand

Well, I can elaborate, but I think I will give solid opinions on all 10, just in case!

Magnus Prime: was interested in PM Prime, but then came the repaint rumor for a boxset that involved him in blue colors. Decided to wait and see. As a result, I will get the takara tooling and potentially a godbomber at some point in time too! the mold is really good as Magnus so I look forward to having it again but almost completely retooled. Plus, a future godbomber would make this a bomb set!

Metalhawk: loved the IDW character, and this figure is using a great mold, and the colors are kickass! Great looking figure, and one that I have some degree of attachment to.

Thunderwing: I have him in no way, but the apocalypse character is really cool to me. Plus, he's diecast! It is a lost art. So many hot wheels cars and Thomas trains I have are diecast, so I have a special attachment to the metal. Plus, he looks go no matter what.

Voyager Prime: Was going to pass the retail release up and just get Octone, but this version is my favorite colors wise. I love black and red, so this is perfect. Plus, I can just ignore the plane mode, and the figure is kickass once more.

Rodimus Prime: I love the diecast and the paint, but the face looks a bit.. sad. Yeah, I know it's cause it's supposed to be his aged face, but I don't really like the face sculpt that much. Although, he can man Hot Rods runs, or Firedrive can while this guy controls thing up top.

Fastlane: looks decent, but he looks pretty flimsy and a bit too simple for my liking. might be more excited once I get him in hand.

Nautica: love the character, longing for a toy. Just wish it was better.

Quickswitch: the mold is so nearly good, but it falls short enough that it disappoints me. And all they do is retool the helmet and titan master. Lame. that figure deserves so much more.

Tidal Wave: a character that Nick Roche made me like, and he looks so cool in the comics plus his original toy. Again, another where the mold just doesn't work and do him justice. At least they are't recognizing the "plane" mode on him. that thing is crap.

Pounce: he just looks so flimsy. He doesn't look any good to me. The beast legs are too skinny and skimpy and the whole beast mode itself doesn't look any good.

Oh, I will be. I feel like going to the Collectotron where I posted my opinions on all ten figures...

Oh wait, found it:

hmm, now I see.

Well, I'll be stoked with a Godbomber and Dai Atlas. I am guessing one of the voyagers is meant to be Flywheels using the Megatron mold, which would make me happy. But other than that, I dunno. we'll just need to see

Only in one commercial.

Commercials have to be canon, otherwise we open up the risk that Bruticus might NOT be a big bad battlin' dude-icus.

Oh, now doubt. Commercials are but one continuity in a vast sea of many others.

You mean he's bigger than Leader Class right?:

[snippitysnip]

It would all depend on how much he'll be compared to other Leader Class figures. And funnily enough, going by the 8,000 Yen standard price set by Blaster and Soundwave, Ginrai is above Leader Class at 8,500 Yen, while Godbomber is below it at 7,000 Yen.

This is for the Rodimus and Thunderwing head only right? Again if my eyes are failing me, I only saw Rodimus in that set, where will Thunderwing be set on?

Thunderwing is in the set above:

Thunderwing is with Magnus Prime correct?

Rodimus is with Laser Prime set.

Suppose it is entirely possible there'd be more than four boxsets, actually - especially considering Combiner Wars had, what, six including Liokaiser? - but right now only two more are '''confirmed'''.

I can't believe I didn't think of G2 Megs. That makes too much sense especially when he turns into a tank.

theres velictron and cybertron so far plus 2 more for the boxsets which will most likely be planet named and it would follow cw too.

theres even a peg on megs shoulder for the fusion cannon to go

There were 13 Titans (including Metroplex who stayed on Cybertron for a long while). One for each of the Primes.
So far though the only colony planets we know about in the comic (and, indeed, the only ones our characters know about) are Caminus, Eukaris, Velocitron and Devisun, plus 'Carcer' the Titan who didn't settle on a world. It's starting to look like Earth could also be one, though that's a rather complicated and unclear thing at the moment.

I'd kinda doubt the excessive tooling that would require for a boxset, and that mold's already been used for one... but I suppose anything's possible.
