Well this comes out of nowhere for me! I'm definitely intrigued. I wish Dazzlestrike had more decos. Looks like Lionizer with green paint added. In fact, I think that's what it is.

"Dazlestrike". One Z.

As for the combiners, if there's one more fembot limb made (Lancer), then Inferno can use Wreck-Gar, Jazz, Ricochet, and Red Swoop to complete his combiner.

Ladies and gentlemen, we may have two full combiners on our hands!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that on top of A GORGEOUS head sculpt, and retaining the combining ability, she has a friggin FLAME SWORD :BOWDOWN:

This also means that I can complete my Elita Inf1nite and keep ricochet as a standalone figure.

Is this going to be an exclusive, considering it comes with a Battle Master?

Yep, probably like the Select series Ricochet and Swoop

Nuh uh. Dreadwind, Blackwing, Golden Lagoon Starscream (repurposed as Sunstorm) and whichever of the two Hasbro Blast Offs (jet or shuttle) one doesn't have attached to Bruticus.

Or BotCon 2016 Terrorsaur as a leg.

This is very surprising as I figured that hasbro would just redeco Chromia, now does this mean that this exclusive will see release before Chromia's wave? Its very interesting to see regardless!

oh come on now we cant count those for one the golden lagoon starscream is an exclusive and not really a good sunstorm i suppose the CW blastoff but would need to make him not look like blastoff
there needs to be something other than those two like other seekers or other decepticons

So now they HAVE TO DO a Combiner Deluxe Lancer.

The NOT-STUPID thing to do would release Chromia like this as a combiner and make Lancer a battlemaster. That turns into a lance.

BUT. Lancer HAS TO happen now, right?

RIGHT?!

So is this Greenlight figure. And Ricochet and Red Swoop.

He's right. All of these are exclusives, so if you think about it, you have to spend a little extra to complete the many combiners that are half finished.

I bet o. supreme is gonna be happy though. Now he has 2 combiners with 3 limbs, only missing a 4th each

While this is neat and all, could we possibly get a new mold for female autobots? Jets? Tanks? Wolves? Trucks? Lamp posts? Anything other than the exact same mold with different paint. I mean, I'll still buy her so I can have the whole group, and I'll definitely enjoy having her in my collection, but I'd still like to see something new. Happy to be able to buy Firestar, wish she was a truck. Maybe if I can scan her head and 3d print a new one at a bigger scale, then buy the Inferno torso and slap Firestars' embiggened head on there. I kinda like that idea. Then buy a second RID Strongarm figure and slap Chromia's head on it.

I digress.

Yes, I like her. And yes, I'll buy her. But I still reserve my right to whine about how much of a sucker I am.

...someone correct me if I'm wrong, as it is fairly small text and I'm not certain, but does that packaging list this presumed exclusive as WFC-S15? If so, that means it should come out before Wave 2, and would explain the counting discrepancy getting from S14 Shockwave to S22 Six-Gun. I was looking at it earlier, and the math said we were missing a figure in-between those two if comparing the numbering of the figures to the amount of Wave 2 figures we know of. If this comes out before Wave 2, that's no longer an issue.

Agreed, especially since it seems to be agreed upon that it's not even that great of a mold to begin with.

^To be fair to Chromia, her altmode has been reshelled enough to look like her own car mode instead of Moonracer's.
Greenlight at least was never seen transforming, but Moonracer's bod probably isn't a full match for hers.
I too have plans on a proper truck Firestar.

I wish they'd made Dazzlestrike orange, as a way of giving us a corrected Lionizer.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:38 pm

It would have looked a bit better had the hips matched the tone of her legs in my opinion. More of a cartoon-accurate depiction. Otherwise a fantastic figure.

Someone pointed out Lionizer should have been another color-I would have to agree.. or the blade translucent even.

But still going to buy. I am glad this character finally gets a suitable figure.

Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:38 pm

Gimme the Greenlight..and I'm ready to go...

News Credits: 42 · Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:47 pm

I will definitely be picking her up. Is it me, or does it look like they left out the regular gun from either Moonracer of Novastar in lieu of the battle master?

Actually, I fixed this mistake before I saw this comment, but still, good catch!

News Credits: 13 · Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:55 pm

So after looking at the picture some more, greenlight is not just a simple redeco of moonracer. The forearms, feet, lower legs and chest are all different. The hands are also different. The wrists no longer fold inward which means that at the very least the back of the vehicle is going to be different to moonracer and firestar.

the side boxart is nice imo

Thu Dec 13, 2018 8:35 pm

Just going to copy everyone else and say "Hasbro release 2 seekers/decepticons and two more autobots for g2 hot sp... I mean inferno"

News Credits: 19 · Thu Dec 13, 2018 8:35 pm

will likely pick her up at some point. Hasbro CW cyclonus still needs four limbs though for the combiner completists...

Takara Grand Galvatron has you covered there. Or you could do what I did for my Grand Scourge and use Off-road, jet blastoff, potp blastoff and Hasbro vortex. But I guess that only works if you have Takara Bruticus and wild rider.
